Bates & Leeds; Incredible ! !

Ken Bates has just lost another case against Melvyn Levi, the first a libel case, and now a harrasment case.

This link is pretty long, but very concise :applause:

Bates apparently had outstanding grievances with Levi. Having lost an earlier libel case, he then went on rampage, using his prog notes to ask fans to report Levi's whereabouts so that Bates could serve him with a writ.....nobody bothered it seems.
Then he used Yorkshire Radio and the Elland Road in-house PA to continue the harrasment.

A really professional blog from Leeds fans.

The damages awarded are £10,000, and a two year injunction preventing Bates from harassing Melvyn Levi further; the judge has also ruled that Bates, LUFC and Yorkshire Radio must pay their own court costs, plus 30% of the Levis’ costs.
Where this money will be found is an open question, but as Shaun Harvey did confirm in his evidence that “[the club] are spending a fortune on legal fees, yes,” we must fear that Leeds United’s club funds will ultimately be used to foot this bill.

We think several details are worth bringing to the attention of Leeds fans and are publishing them below.
They particularly highlight the use of the club’s matchday programme and the club’s in-house radio station in the case.
These two media outlets are often cited by Ken Bates as important source of income for Leeds United, but this judgement shows instead that both have been used in a course of harassment which has resulted in an unsavoury court case and hefty legal bills.


Read the linked blog for an insight into a really 'strange' man.

Knew I read this somewhere

Filed under 'Bates' :LMAO:

Sources close to several un-named Leeds players have sensationally contacted Leeds United Supporters Trust to share their frustration and disillusionment with the current situation.
Players have let L.U.S.T. know they want to stay and push for promotion, but don’t feel that this will happen without changes.
Chairman Gary Cooper told BBC Radio Leeds that there seemed to be a ‘lack of trust’ on the players’ side at Leeds United.


Then Bates stopped the £400,000 deal for Portsmouth defender Joel Ward, whilst Warnock was on his Hols. Leeds couldn't meet the payment terms Bates said :LMAO:
Warnock returns to Elland Road this week having lost 3 targets,(one a fee and two others Bosmans) all dumped by Bates in his manager's abscence.

I take it Desman, that you are really a WUM, it's only just struck me now like!
:LMAO:

Bates is truly hated, by fans who truly know how to hate - and you suggest a statue.

Your a wummer ain't you man :LMAO:
