"Ken Bates - Opinions?"

Im not sure how many of you know of my beloved club, Sheffield Wednesdays, current situation. In excess of £25 million in debt, a poor team which has struggled in Division 2, a poor management team, that being Ex-owl keeper Chris Turner, and Ex-Striker Colin West, and Dave Allen whom is the chairmen of the club, who currently runs it as a dictatorship.

I think im right in say the majority of the supporters want all three of these men out, along with the rest of the board.

Since the start of the year, one Ken Bates has announced his interest in taking over the club, stating he will put £10 million into it, to help with the playing squad, as well as making other improvements. It’s all very complicated, and up here in Sheffield in the press there has been a war of words between Bates and Allen, and it continues to go on daily. Something is supposed to be happening in the very near future.

My question is, what are your opinions of Ken Bates. Im interested to know what any of the Chelsea fans think of him especially.

I personally am not too sure about him as a person, and not too sure if he is to be trusted completely. What I do know is, he has a pot of money, many people behind him able to put more money into my club, as well as his endless list of contacts in football, and his experience. He has the ability to take us back to where I feel we belong, in top-flight football.

And who knows...if Bates is here by the summer...So might be Mr Ranieri. (Or maybe not)

Anyway, Ken Bates? Opinions?

:)

thats all right. we know you're just trying to avoid the swear filter.
