Believe it or not we have some Leeds fans who want Bates to spend big to get us back into the Prem - or some sugar daddy to buy the club. Personally I would rather see the club buy from the lower leagues or from abroad than pay the extortionate prices others are paying to get success. Bates' motto is to build the club up slowly but surely without giving into the high wage demands of some players and their agents. It's heart warming to see the likes of Beckford, Nunez, Becchio, Somma and others coming in at virtually no cost and proving their are still bargains out there. Adam Clayton was at Man City and they let us have him for a snip - thanks guys - great player and young ... and ambitious.
I fear for the likes of Everton who are skint but trying to stay in the Prem on a low budget. I hope they do well this season but I fear they might be in big trouble when even the likes Sunderland are spending mega bucks to try and stay in the league.
