You have been misled, Michael. Rick Duniec NEVER wanted to front anything. He, Steve Cooke and a few others felt that the fans could, if necessary, save Leeds United Football Club from the disaster that was Leeds United PLC all those years ago. Both had differing approaches to the task. Steve Cooke felt that a blaze of publicity coupled with a few war cries and the odd millionaire would do the trick, whilst Rick always felt that a few more prudent steps were needed first. Steve began to believe that Rick's caution was procrastination and attempted on several occasions to force Rick into action and into betraying trusts that Rick had built up with some of the main players in the eventual takeover of Leeds United by Krasner et al. Rick to his credit still refuses to betray the trusts nor to gain personal kudos by broadcasting publicly just exactly who he was in frequent contact with at the time. Neither will he publicly admit just how close he came to producing a coordinated and possibly successful rescue attempt. The 'About what ??????' then was the saving of Leeds United by the fans and before everyone screams can't be done, couldn't be done, blah di blah blah with a club our size, then one has to look no further than Leicester City for proof that it can and has been done before or Krasner and co themselves who didn't have a pot to p*ss in either and were all 'allegedly' fans. There's no Walter Mitty scenario at all, both Steve and Rick, amongst others, did have regular conversations with a variety of rich and powerful Leeds United fans - though how big a fan any of them were is reflected by their absence in the rescue of the club.
