Am I supposed to be Excited?

Morning Chaps

So, surely I can't be the only one who's getting a little bit giddy hearing about potential investment/takeover talks, right?

I have been speaking to a colleague of mine from Canada, a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan and he was saying that these guys do actually have a proclaimed 'war chest' and that his team has seen good investment over the last few years. However, whilst I was almost weeing myself with excitement he did say first and foremost that these guys are businessmen, and would be investing first and foremost on the basis of a large financial return and not for the love of the club or the fans - so I guess an element of 'keeping our feet on the ground' has to be maintained.

I then went on to explain how the current set have bled our club dry for their own gains, with media propaganda and lies after lies for 7 years including 'dodgy' investments i.e. throwing millions of pounds into assets that we don't actually own [allegedly] such as the East Stand Hotel, but then I was reassured that they will see the basic business sense that they will spend to move forward to reach the Premier League, and see the fruits of their investment - something that our current supreme leader Chairman Bates is unwilling to do.

Here's hoping to a happy summer - MOT

So basically, they are GOOD businessmen as opposed to bates.

I have no problem with owners making a profit from Leeds United, I just want them to do it in a way where everybody wins. The highest profit potential comes from the strategy where everybody wins.
