Like I have said before - Leeds should have gone into admin a few years
back, but the stubborness and greed of the owners has delayed it untill now.
This does not exclude the greed and stubborness of Bates.  By taking the
club into admin, there is always the chance that you will not get it back so
of course the current owners try to delay or prevent it as much as they
possibly can or else they do not have a "product" to sell.  Leeds should
have gone into admin already in our first season in the Championship - then
we would have somebody owning a club with manageable debts, and still have
some of our valuable players on our books, so selling them would have
generated income for the club instead of continuing to service debts that we
were simply not able to service in the long run.

Einar.
