It's Ken Bates we're talking about here....do you really need to ask ?

No, I don`t really! Should`ve known better

Thank Christ for that. I thought it was going to be a picture of Bill Clinton's cock.














Instead it's Elland Road's cock.

As if nobody knew this was the case. Bates has United wrapped around his finger.

When I saw the headline, I expected another one of Filo's celebrity pictures, this time of Darren Bent arriving at the Keepmoat to sign a 3 year deal.

\"An undisclosed sum\"  one pound probably fits the bill

Or 1p in the pound!

This has only been done to avoid the FA looking into the murky inner working of the club, should they get promotion to the Premiership.

I'm surprised that no-one has asked the obvious question as to why those murky inner workings aren't being looked into in the Football League...

BENT...........you bet it is just like anything that Bates or the Weeds have ever been involved in many a year. This reminds me of the way Budge used/still do run their business ops.

An investigation should begin immediately but have they got the ''balls'' or the interest in persuing this crook and his crooked club........I very much doubt it. They are a disgrace to English football, plus que ca change etc.

In the words of Michael Winner/David Cameron, \"Calm down Hoola Old Chap\"

A \"crooked club?\"...it's a good job that you can make that accusation safe in the knowledge that all those previously involved in the ownership and administration of Doncaster Rovers FC were scrupulously clean and beyond reproach as far as the laws of this land are concerned....................ahem.

Whatever financial shennaningans Bates has been involved in/is currently upto, you can bet that he is acting within the letter, if not the spirit, of the law, and if he isn't, that he has covered his tracks or set up a fall guy in his place.

And if that isn't enough, I am of the opinion that he has entered into a Faustian pact with the Devil....that's why he isn't dead yet.
