LUST med oppdatert statement -. som forsåvidt ikke forteller mer enn det vi har funnet ut i løpet av dagen

A further takeover update

Thursday, August 9, 2012 at 7:06PM


Further to our reports earlier today that the proposed takeover of Leeds United has collapsed, we have been working to find out more details about the situation.
 
We were told that in the last few days negotiations between Leeds United and the potential investors were delicately poised, and that yesterday Shaun Harvey flew to Monaco for discussions about the deal. This morning we were informed that the deal for a takeover of the club had collapsed.
 
As soon as we were able we shared news of this development with our members and with the wider Leeds United fan base, who have been anxiously waiting for updates since the club’s last statement in June.
 
As the day has progressed, we have done all we can to get a full picture of the situation at Elland Road. What has become clear to us is that events are moving quickly, and that urgent discussions have been taking place in the light of this deal’s collapse.
 
Those discussions have resulted in this evening's statement from Leeds United on their official website, which has confirmed that the period of exclusivity agreed with a potential investor has ended.
 
The statement goes on to say that Leeds United are happy to continue discussions with this investor on a non-exclusive basis, and we are encouraged that the opportunity is still there to conclude a deal that had reached an advanced stage, but had looked to be over this morning.
 
We are also pleased to read in this statement that Leeds United remain willing to listen to approaches, and we welcome this positive stance. As we have stated previously, Leeds United Supporters' Trust have spoken with several parties interested in the future of Leeds United, and we are pleased that the door appears to be open for them to come forward.

Ja, hva skal man oppsummere med etter denne dagen?

Fram tilbake, fram tilbake, og like langt.....

[jackbauer68]

Yorkshire EP skriver at Leeds United insiterer på at takeoveren ikke er død, men at de aktuelle kjøperne ikke har ekslusivitet (regner med at det vil si innsyn i regnskapet) lenger.

Fremover går det i alle fall ikke, tydeligvis, men er det et håp?

Sånn jeg tolker og leser det er at de ikke lenger har enerett til innsyn lenger. At det er fritt for andre å komme på banen. Spennende tider. Dessverre kommer kampen i morgen totalt i skyggen. Får håpe spillerne ikke lar seg påvirke i for stor grad. Men det brer seg nok en usikkerhet nå som NW plutselig har transferlistet to spillere i dag. Ingen av "Grayson-spillerne" er trygge lenger.

E ikkje mangen igjen av de........

Så LUST ser ut til å være keenere på å være først ute med rykter/nyheter enn å spille en konstruktiv rolle.  Denne oppklaringen var en oppsummering av hva vi alle har lest utover kvelden i dag.

[Sydhagen]

Synes det LUST gjør er bra. Om det var en utløsende faktor for at klubben kom med et statement vet jeg ikke, men det la ivertfall et press på klubben.

Stå på!

[lojosang]

Så satt kanskje ikke LUST på hele sannheten likevel, jeg øyner nytt håp etter siste uttalelse fra klubben.

Men om ikke annet, så fikk LUST tvunget en melding ut fra klubben med sitt utspill.

Får håpe ting går seg til likevel, kan være at siste utspill (om at den "ekslusive" perioden er over), er et forsøk fra klubben på å tvinge fram en avgjørelse fra midt-østen grupperingen.

LUST slenger ikke noe sånt ut for morro skyld. Enten er de sikker på at dealen er død eller så er dette er et utspill potensielt nye eiere vil at LUST skal komme med for å legge press på Bates...

Det brenner under bena på den gamle grisen nå.. Mot Wolves kan det fort ta fyr...

Eller så er det som det meste LUST ser ut til å ha kommet med i denne saken et utspill først og fremst for å plassere seg selv i begivenhetenes sentrum igjen.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Mange hyyler og skriker etter updates fra de. Og når det kommer så er det gale at de ikke skriver mer - andre syns de forteller for mye (og kan ødelegge dealen). Sånn sett er de i en håpløs situasjon.
I mine øyne har respekten for det de gjør/har gjort absolutt økt. De prøver så godt de kan. Og hadde de ikke skrevet noe så hadde kanskje alt dette dødd ut i stillhet (Gud vet hvor mange tekeoverdeals som har vært prøvd ut overfor Bates de siste 7 årene...).

I det minste virker han da fortsatt keen på å selge. Det er da noe...

Enig med deg Assa, alle vil ha en statement fra klubben og når LUST fremprovoserer i dag så  er det gale det også, snakker meg om å være mellom barken og veden!

[Kato]

Spørs hvor keen han er på å selge så lenge han tjener på driften.

Spørs hvor keen noen er på å handle med dette diffuset Batesprosjektet. Kan vel ramle lik ut av skapet i 10 år fremover. Ulare eierstrukturer, skattegjeld, eierskap, antallet selskaper, bortgjemte skatteparadis.

Skal noe til å få til en deal med en sånn type.

[Asbjørn]

Avtar Gill‏@AvtarGill53

@LeedsUnited_MAD â–º word in Dubai is, 'collapse/stall due to Bates insistence on structure of payments due to his labyrinth of companies.'
 

[lojosang]

Denne skattegreia har vel med å videreselge noe med fortjeneste såpass kort tid etter at det er kjøpt å gjøre tipper jeg. Uten at jeg har peiling på britisk finanslovgivning.

Vi er vel enige alle om at vi ikke vet en dritt ang takeover.... Alle uttaler seg på rykter... Noe vi er god på så lenge det er i disfavør av geitebukken # geitehelvete

Syns denne på ganske få ord forteller stoda:

This is a simple stand-off.

The bidders are saying the original deal is still on the table.

Bates is saying that he might sell to someone else.

Brinkmanship.

At least the LUFC statement is saying that Bates is an "almost willing" seller - that's good news.

LUST need to be very careful or else Bates will use this to harm them - but I'm sure the Board of LUST know this.

LUST er jo Leeds supporterklubb og da synes jeg det blir for dumt av de å gå ut med at handelen har kollapset også bekrefter Leeds senere at forhandlingene enda pågår..

Ifølge det LUST selv gjentar og gjentar i tweet etter tweet i kveld så gikk de ut med det fordi det var dødt i formiddag. Men samtaler i løpet av dagen (kanskje pga at LUST tvang det frem???) gjorde at det fortsatt er håp.

...jeg kan jo ikke bekrefte sannhetsgestalten i dette, det vil fremtiden vise, men jeg velger å tro på deres versjon...

[Glenn K]

Så da ender dagen med at takeoveren ikke har kollapset helt slik LUST meldte i dag tidlig.

Kjenner jeg begynner å bli mektig lei, men denne dagen tyder jo helt klart på at Bates sin periode i klubben går mot slutten. Spent på hva fremtiden bringer!

Slakte?? Bevares.

 Jeg forsøker å forstå rollene her og (enda vanskeligere) se på om partene spiller rollene bra og med konstruktiv vilje. Ikke lett.  Ikke svart/hvitt eller good vs bad. Tror alle ønsker en god løsning for Leeds, men det er mye penger og prestisje på spill og jeg tror det er meget komplisert.

Fingers crossed.

Karl Fieldhouse
So after reading almost everyone’s thoughts of the past 24 hours, it’s time for my own assessment of what has been a bit of a bumpy ride for a day in the life of a Leeds fan. I’m going to try and address topics on a point by point basis so as not to lose a chain of thought. If you have no attention span then this post may not be for you because I tend to go on a bit at times. So, let’s get started shall we.

THE TAKEOVER
Like many Leeds fans on this board, I’ve seen the rise and fall of LUFC many times and am hopeful for us to rise again with this season being the latest chance to do that. I’m not a Bates fan and I’m not hugely against him either. Like many people, I was looking forward to a takeover, merely for the potential of more investment into the team. Nothing more, nothing less. Whilst it is important who is steering our ship, what happens on the pitch concerns me more. With a takeover, nothing is guaranteed and that also means investment. Just look at Forest, their takeover happened a few weeks ago and it’s not exactly been roaring has it, unless you count an influx of Middle Eastern players on trial as roaring. But I digress, this is about us. I would hope that any takeover will bring in owners willing to invest and I don’t means millions and millions, but just an amount that can make us competitive enough to land a couple of decent signings. A takeover WILL happen, it just might take a little more time than we had expected or hoped and I can live with that, I have been a Leeds fan for 20+ years, so I can wait a little longer for change.

LUST
Everyone’s favourite topic!!! I think LUST could be great, they could do a job and they could be a wonderful mouthpiece for the club’s fans. The problem is for me personally is that at the moment they want to be seen as being a huge part of the process of whatever happens at the club and take credit for whatever happens. I don’t think they control themselves, what they say, how they say it and when they say it as much as they could do. Yesterday’s statement is a prime example of that for me. In my opinion I would have gathered more facts before making a sweeping statement that the takeover had collapsed. If you take a close look at how the news was reported yesterday in the mainstream media, it all came from this one scrap of information and it caused chaos for many Leeds fans. When in fact, the main part of the news is that the exclusivity period had run its course. Now maybe this statement of theirs forced LUFC’s hand at releasing some information that means that what happened wasn’t as bad as everyone thought or maybe not, we’ll never know. I don’t think they’re an altogether terrible entity, but I do think they have a habit of saying things for the sake of it and often can’t back up broad sweeping statements with cold hard facts. They remind me of politicians and government a lot of the time. But like I say, they could be great and it is all about finding a balance.

PROTESTS, RIOTS, RIPPING THE STADIUM APART
I saw a few people mention protests and destroying the stadium. Please do not do this. It’s not big, it’s not clever and the end result is twofold: it will prove Bates right, Leeds fans are morons and it will just mean the costs for next season will be even higher. Whenever there is vandalism to bus shelters or whatever, the company do not absorb those costs, they just pass them on down the line to us and the same will go for any vandalism to the stadium, so just think a little. As for protests. If you think protesting will do any good, great, please do it before or after the game and not during. The time you are in the stadium, the best thing to do is back the team, that is all, that is why you are there. I don’t see any reason for anything else to happen in the stadium than to sing our heart out for the boys. You see, footballers are fickle, if you do all the negative bates out chants and we lose, you give them an easy out “Yeah, the fans negativity affects us on the pitch”. Boom, easy out. If the fans are ONLY behind the players and give it their all to back them, they will never ever have that as an excuse and all you can do is motivate them to perform and win us promotion. If you honestly think you make a statement by buying a ticket, season ticket, whatever it is and go to games and chant Bates Out when bates isn’t even there, then I’m afraid I think you are an absolute idiot. That’s like going into Dixons, making a complaint with nothing happening and then buying a new TV for a grand. If you want to make any REAL statement, then you do not part with any of your money and you boycott ER. The problem with that is, there are not enough people willing to do that to make any kind of difference. What I would do if I had the chance is buy a season ticket and support the boys, because at the end of the day, the team on the pitch, the manager and backroom staff are what matter most to me. I wonder if Winston will go into the ground and watch the game after his protest. If so, then Bates has Winston whipped like a bitch because he has everything he needs from him. And this is how it will be reported to Bates in the end. “Hey Kenny, there was a protest at the Wolves game today” – “Oh yeah, how many people?” – “maybe a 1000” – “And how many were in the ground?” – “25’000 plus” – “And how many were protesting outside the ground whilst the game was going on?” – “ZERO” – “Ok, great”. I hope that made sense to whoever reads this. If you are going to protest, do it properly and by that I don’t mean destroy property! But like I said, I am one for supporting the team and right now, the team needs positivity. I am a positive person, that is who I am and I will ALWAYS back the team!

THE CURRENT TEAM
I think most of us would say progress has been made. We are most definitely much stronger on paper than we were last season, although we are lacking at least 2 players in my opinion. We have had a decent pre-season and honestly that means nothing. The games are all glorified training sessions and I don’t look at them as anything else other than good fitness sessions and an opportunity for the lads to get to know one another on the pitch a little better. My expectations are high, they always are. I always think we are capable of promotion and this season is no different. We have lost 3 players that were first team starters this season and two of them have been replaced by better players in my eyes. We will only really see what losing Snoddy meant once the team have played a decent amount of games together and even then, that doesn’t mean anything because if anything was to go by with Reading or Cardiff at the start of last year, you’d have thought both teams were going down after a couple of months. I just hope that Leeds fans give the team some time to work things out and don’t judge immediately. We have a relatively tough start to the season so it will be a good bonding experience and will really show what the desire is. To bring in 10 faces with potentially more on the way is pretty much unprecedented at ER and I think the majority of signings are excellent with only 1 or 2 being not that decent, but I see what they bring to the squad. I think we have made HUGE progress with the team and I honestly believe we have a team that can challenge, the question is if we have a squad that can should players become injured. But what I think will be a defining factor this year are the youth players that have been given a little run out. The likes of Poleon, Byram, the Turner boys and Payne have all showed they have some potential. I hope they get a chance or two to see if they can cut it already at CC level, especially Poleon. LUFC has a wonderful habit of producing great young talent, perhaps this is the year where they really make an impact. I think we are showing plenty of ambition and for me ambition isn’t reflected in spending money. It’s reflected in what players are brought in and so far I’m happy with who has been brought in.

PUGH, ROGERS AND DIOUF
I’m not too concerned about players suddenly being put on the transfer list. These kinds of things happen and if that’s what it takes for NW to get some players in then that is fine by me.

Pugh – Finally he has been transfer listed. I have never been a fan of him, but I can see why NW kept him as he can be versatile. Hopefully he will be picked up relatively easily so that we can add another player that brings more to the table than he does.
Rogers – I was looking forward to seeing how he would do, but he is extremely unproven and injury prone. If he can I think NW will try to keep hold of him, I hope he does because it would be good to see what he can do. It could also be that NW has seen enough of him in pre season and training to know that he can’t offer as much as he would have hoped.
Diouf – If he wears a white shirt, he will be backed 100% by me! He won’t be the first or last asshole to play for Leeds. I really don’t care about him being a sewer rat or dirty piece of shit. If he plays for us, he will be backed by me and we know he can play at this level.

Anyway, that’s some of my thoughts. I’m sure that I won’t have explained myself that well in some places but there you go.
