davenportram Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Leeds-chief-executive-Shaun-Harvey-has-told-MPs-he-has-no-knowledge-of-the-people-behind-the-mysterious-trust-that-owns-the-club-and-that-chairman-Ken-Bates-does-not-know-either-article714051.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter It appears that the Football overnance inquiry people are concerned with Leeds's ownership structure, and the fact that know-one knows who owns them - not Even Master Bates. A mysterious "discretionary trust" in the West indies is all that is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Private Eye magazine has unearthed some dodgy links over the last year or two to Bates and Leeds. Unfortunately I've given my old copies away so can't check back on names etc, but I can remember reading that they've gone to great lengths to hide the true owners.

Perky1106 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 They don't have much money so I doubt there's anything seriously dodgy/fraudelent. Probably just another way of Master Bates trying to avoid any tax he possibly can for more yachts in Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yes Joe, it was all about tax evasion/avoidance. I seem to recall though that PE was on to some seriously dodgy people behind masterbates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
