Transfers Falling through ???

Can anyone please explain why all these transfers are falling through ?

Is it because of the so called salary cap & if so what is the point if we are the only club with a policy like this ..... if it is because we are honestly financially compromised , skint , broke , out of mullah , brassic etc etc etc it would be nice to know then we could all understand ....

However, if it's just Master Bates & the Admin making a stand against high salaries then, although admirable as it maybe, it's no ****ing use whatsoever when no one is willing to sign because they can get higher salaries elsewhere as standard !!!

Who does Bates think he is Dave Whelan ?!!

Please don't touch whilst I acept your point, I still can't believe it.

I I want to package a product I make it look pretty and prove it has a long term sales value, tarring up the stadium will only get you so far, kb has been trying to sell this club for close to 3 years anyone in property in London could tell you as much and I fail to see how making generations of fans disenfranchised helps him achieve this


That's my logic anyway may not be correct

He had people wanting to buy Leeds specifically this calendar year, he didn't want to sell.

He is pursuing his Leeds village dreams at all costs and it will end in tears for us.

Didn't he spruce up Stamford Bridge to make them more sellable?

Once he had done this didn't he sell them to a better owner?

With this owner did the sc umbags that are Chelsea go on to better things?

Answers on a postcard..........

My logic is, yes he is in it for the short term, but if he can make us a more attractive proposition by making us to a profitable club, if this means not paying extravagant wages to mercenary footballers, and those bas tard agents, then fair play to him.

Yes it could mean that we are here for a while but then the also would make us the best looking club for a buyer (I think we are already with our fan base).

I know it's a slog, but look at where we were, and where we are now....I would have bitten your hand off for this a while back.

lukey was nothing to do with Bates.

Abramovich was trying to buy Spurs, Levy thought he was too good to be true and so he flew across London to Chelsea where Bates was bricking himself on the Wednesday as he knew he was unable to meet his payments on the Friday.

Bates ultimately made 100mill from the Chelsea sale after conning Abramovich with what he sold him first time around.

Go to Chelsea Village if you haven't already been there.

It's in the heart of a fashionable area of London.

It was a financial disaster.

The hotel is rarely full.

If you came to Leeds, would you rather stay in Leeds with all it's bars and nightlife, or Beeston?

Hate to break it to you 3legs, but, Chelsea being in
London is far more attractive to potential Russian Oil Magnates/Billionaires than Leeds. As much as I love it in Leeds. It's not the draw that London is. Don't expect Bates ill-advised and dodgy real estate gamble in London, as a
model, having a similar pay-off here.
