Glasgow Loon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 From the OS:- United boss snaps up Villa star... Leeds United boss Simon Grayson has swooped to sign Aston Villa's Scotland international midfielder Barry Bannan on loan until the end of the season. The 21-year-old completed the formalities of his loan move on Monday morning and the United boss was delighted to sign a player who already boasts the experience of being part of a promotion winning side. Bannan, who has made 21 appearances for Villa and has featured in the Premier League and the Europa League, made 24 appearances for Blackpool last season and stepped off the bench in the Play-Off final as the Seasiders beat Cardiff City to clinch a place in the Premier League. "Barry is a player we have been tracking for a while," said the United boss. "Circumstances have now changed where Villa are in a position to let him join us and I'd like to thank them for agreeing to the move. "He's had the opportunity to go to nearly every other team in the Championship so for him to come here makes it all the more pleasing. "He's used to this division and he played a major part in Blackpool's run to get promoted last season so he has experience and he fits the bill perfectly for us." Bannan, who played in the Scotland side with Robert Snodgrass against Northern Ireland at the start of February, will go straight into the squad for United's trip to Preston on Tuesday. Aston Villa have a recall clause which can be activated after 28 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repeat_offender Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Recieved the following e-mail from Leeds United Supporters Trust, confirms pretty much what most suspected. Statement from the club - There has been much speculation in the media as to the ownership structure of Leeds United and its compliance with the relevant regulations of The Football League and The Football Association. The speculation has been further fuelled by the coverage of the Football Governance enquiry and the political obsession with the ownership of Leeds United. Both the Football League and the Football Association have confirmed that the current ownership structure of Leeds United complies with both their regulations. The scaremongering arising out of the football Governance enquiry has not been helpful and, whilst the Board were always confident that there were no issues, recognise the concern the unknown outcome of any Premier League questions, may have on our Members. To address this issue and in the hope that this brings an end to the speculation, the chairman, Ken Bates, has completed the purchase of FSF Limited for an undisclosed sum. FSF Limited is now owned by Outro Limited which is wholly owned by Ken Bates. This change in ownership structure makes Ken Bates the controlling shareholder of Leeds United and delivers the transparency sought. The revised ownership statement is now on www.leedsunited.com and can be found following the link below. Ownership statement The revised details have been submitted to The Football Association, The Football League and the Premier League in accordance with their regulations. Further to the submission of these details both the Football League and the Premier League have confirmed that the new ownership structure satisfies their regulations. The Board do not anticipate any issues in securing approval of the Football Association in due course. The ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM) of the Yorkshire Division of the Football Supporters' Federation will take place on Sunday 8th May from 1.00pm at the Peacock Public House Elland Road Leeds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting hairs here so apologies in advance but if I understand the current structure correctly Ken now publically owns the controlling share 72.85%, 27.15% still owned by unknown individuals (for now at least).

repeat_offender Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) From LUST re Ken Bates & the current football governance enquiry. Ken Bates will face a parliamentary demand for a government inquiry on Tuesday in order to disclose every detail of the transactions that led to his taking over Leeds United. Have your say and contribute to the debate on on the Trusts facebook page right now. The former Chelsea owner has been chairman of the Championship club since 2005 barring a short period during the club's 2007 administration during which time he served two separate consortiums of anonymous offshore owners. The obfuscated ownership structure finally came to an end last month, when Bates took over 73% of the club in a transaction whose cost has not been disclosed. But the lack of transparency remains a major concern of the ongoing parliamentary inquiry into football governance. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/jun/17/parliament-probe-ken-bates-leeds-ownership Now Damian Collins, the Conservative MP who sits on the football governance inquiry, has set up an adjournment debate at Westminster Hall next Tuesday. "The principle is that it should never be allowed to happen again that football clubs are bought by offshore trusts of which we have no idea who the owners are," said Collins. "Even though Ken Bates has now taken the club over, I do not think we should forget that. There remain a lot of unanswered questions about the whole process which warrant a full investigation." When Leeds collapsed under the weight of £35m in debt in 2007 its anonymous offshore creditors refused bids that would have earned them £8m more, simply because they wanted Bates to retain control as chairman. That insolvency process also led to HM Revenue & Customs receiving only a fraction of the £7.7m it was owed in unpaid taxes. Collins added: "I think we should investigate how Leeds was bought by Ken Bates and whether there are issues for the government to look into, given the millions of pounds of unpaid tax in the administration. We should also consider whether there is a need for the government to look into how the money was raised to buy the club, and where it came from."

Glasgow Loon Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Our opening game of the season has been selected for live TV coverage by Sky Sports. Our trip to Southampton on Saturday August 6 will now kick-off at the later time of 5.20pm to accommodate the TV cameras. Our last trip to the St Mary's Stadium ended in a 1-0 defeat when former White Dan Harding scored the Saints winner. Last season's opener was also screened live on televsion when we played Derby County at Elland Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
