He is an ugly, fat fooker that's a given but why do they hate him so much? :confused: Lack of investment in the team and spending said money on the ground etc instead?

Alex W Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 A severe lack of investment this summer. They've replaced Amdy Faye with Michael Brown which is an improvement, but they've not really signed anyone at all. They replaced Kasper but most are annoyed that he left in the first place. Plus their defence is what's holding them back, yet they didn't strengthen it. I'd be annoyed if I were them too. They'd be delighted to have signed 9 players like we have.

Perky1106 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 They're season tickets are still sky high, they haven't made much investment and Ken Bates is a shady man living in Monaco for legal and tax reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think the owners have managed to put together some convoluted plan to make it look like Bates is the owner. Its all tied up in offshore tax havens. Private Eye magazine did a piece a while back on this but its very complicated, involving "shell" companies, head office addresses that turn out to be shared by 60 other companies, etc, etc. From the previously published information, one could surmise that master bates is one slippery character.......
