[Sleivind]

Mon tro om alle med midtøstensk utseende og pene klær var lei av å bli tatt bilde av under kampen på lørdag?

Dette ligner mere og mere på en complete takeover like rundt hjørnet!

Hvordan er det mulig at ingen aviser og sky som var på plass på lørdag og ikke hvise bilder eller kommentere at bates hadde besøk på tribunen.
Merkelig stille .

Du tenker på manuifiseringen?

...det virker som takeover'en helt og holdent er i Bates' hender - (bokstavelig talt- det er jo hendene hans som skal signere kontrakten, hehe). Han har så grunngivelig lite lyst til å trekke seg ut av fotballsirkuset at han drøyer og drøyer og drøyer -selv om pengebingen tydeligvis tørker inn.

Hvorfor kan vi ikke henvende oss til vår eneste støttespiller som når inn til ham - Susannah!

Hun vil da veldig gjerne se mer til ham - iallefall om man skal tro Bates i hans stadige ytringer i kampprogrammet.

Her gjelder det å skaffe seg forbundsfeller...

Det blir nok ikke før 1.september. Han vil sikre seg at vi ikke er i stand til å hente noen nye spillere.

...som vits 'fungerer' dette utsagnet. Men hva skulle han tjene på det (han er en c bare når han tjener på det (slik jeg ser det)

Hva han skulle tjene på det? Aner ikke.

Etter denne sommeren, er jeg pessimistisk til det motsatte er bevist

Hvis de er en investeringsgruppe så finner de vel gode investeringsobjekter til sine eiere, de som har aksjer i firmaet...?

Vi er og blir en "utbytte-klubb"?

Representatives of a major private equity firm in the Middle East were among the guests of Ken Bates during Saturday’s game between Leeds United and Wolves, the Yorkshire Evening Post can reveal.

Salem Patel and David Haigh, senior figures at Dubai-based investment company GFH Capital Limited, joined United’s chairman at Elland Road for the club’s first match of the Championship season amid on-going talks about a buy-out of Leeds.

Patel – a board member at GFH Capital – and Haigh, the firm’s deputy chief executive officer, sat close to Bates in the stadium’s East Stand throughout a 1-0 win over Wolves.

United’s opening league fixture came at the end of a week of relentless takeover negotiations between the board at Elland Road and a group of Middle Eastern investors who have been bidding to acquire the West Yorkshire club for almost three months.

The identity of the buyers has never been revealed and claims that a member of Bahrain’s ruling family – Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Mubarak Al-Khalifa – is among their number remain unconfirmed.

But it has long been suggested that the approach from the Middle East is being fronted by a financial institution in the region, of which GFH Capital is one.

On its website, the firm describes itself as “one of the Middle East’s foremost private equity investors, advisors and fund managers, providing capital and strategic support for growth companies.”

The firm says it has a “10-year track record of top-performing investments and fund management” and claims to have managed “investments of more than $8bn in over 40 companies and across 25 countries.”

Patel’s personal profile lists previous position held with Gulf Finance House, an investment bank in Bahrain, and Accenture in England.

He was educated at City University London where he gained a degree with honours in business studies.

Haigh is listed as a “Leeds United fan” by the same website and is said to have “led pioneering transactions in technology, media, telecommunication, financial services, sports and healthcare.”

Discussions over the ownership of United have continued ever since the club began speaking to potential investors shortly after the end of last season.

The Middle Eastern group, who are understood to be aiming to buy the entire 72.85 per cent stake held by Bates, began due diligence on United’s accounts in June and were thought to have agreed in principle the terms of a sale more than a month ago, but the yet is still to be finalised.

Their proposal appeared to run into trouble a fortnight ago but intense negotiations last week are believed to have revived the possibility of a full takeover at Elland Road.

A legal source told the YEP that a small number of “necessary legal matters” were still potential obstacles.

Bates confirmed on Saturday that discussions were ongoing, saying: “We are in negotiations with a party.

“We signed an exclusivity agreement to give them time to do due diligence and we’re continuing negotiations.

“We’re also bound by confidentiality so we can’t say anything and in the absence of being able to say anything, rumours abound.”

Twitter and Internet message boards have been flooded with pictures of individuals seen with Bates in the East Stand on Saturday.

Both United and GFH Capital were approached for comment about the appearance of Patel and Haigh at Elland Road but did not respond.

Svært uhøflig - svært uhøflig.....

Taushetsplikt vettu..

Det som er litt irritabelt er om Bates f**ker opp alt, selv om alt ligger tilrette for alle parter til å være fornøyd. Så er det vel slik at vi må vente 5 år før vi får sannheten. Blir lange 5 år med mange konspirasjonsteorier.
