Anyone listen to this?

Bad role model to have there papa....i wouldn't have minded even if he said maggie thatcher, but saddam..i don't even know why i'm surprised....deffo losing his marbles

Good to see censorship is alive and kicking.

Another example of Ken being mis quoted. He was referring to a quote from Harry Rednapp who stated fans would mind Sandam as Chairman if the club was winning things.

The posters on here misquote Ken Bates!!!

I don't believe it!

No, KB didn't say that...reportedly Harry Redknapp said he [HR] thought fans didn't care who owned the club provided their team won and used Saddam as an example. Witness Abramovitch, Sheikh Whosit and Whatsit, the last Liverpool lot, the current MUFC lot, Brum etc etc etc

Complete misqoute and people base opinion on it. Tut, tut.

didn't hear it but heard simon on talk sport on monday, he's a bit dull isn't he.

captain carlos

Tut tut indeed!

What will they think of next?

"i wouldn't have minded even if he said maggie thatcher" Harj, I am a great admirer of Margaret,I think that you, in a Freudian way meant Scargill. <>

What he said...

..I remember Harry Redknapp’s remark when he said that fans wouldn’t care if Saddam Hussein owned the club so long as it was winning games and signing players and I think that applies to most clubs and certainly to Leeds United. The feedback I’ve had from the fans other than the dissidents that have had their nose put out of joint by my style of management is that they are more interested in how the club is run rather than who owns it and Leeds United have a good record in that respect. In fact the committee, what did they say? ‘Financially secure and upwardly mobile’ if that’s what Leeds are doing, one of the few clubs that are, what’s the problem? I own it now, or 70-odd per cent of it anyway, so ownership problem resolved. Let’s get on with running the club, making it even more financially secure and even more upwardly mobile.

He's our saviour!
