Siam69 0 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Though it's only for 150K http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29953640 Leeds United served with winding-up petition Leeds United have been served with a winding-up petition by law firm Ford & Warren Solicitors over unpaid fees. The fees, which date back to when former Chelsea chairman Ken Bates, 82, owned the Championship club, amount to about £150,000. The petition is set to be heard at Leeds Combined Court on 13 January. Bates sold Leeds to GFH Capital in December 2012 before Italian businessman Massimo Cellino bought a majority share in April 2014. Nick Collins, senior partner at Ford & Warren, told BBC Radio Leeds: "This is not a dispute with Mr Cellino. This is something he has inherited from the previous ownership of the club. "We bear no ill-will towards Mr Cellino and we wish him well. I genuinely hope we can resolve this amicably but we must do what is necessary to protect our clients' position." The Elland Road side are currently 17th in the Championship, with no wins in their last eight matches. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 To think they had a terrific team that got to the semi final of the CL. Though that instigated their current woes. The EPL was a cracking league in the early 00's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real PapaBear 0 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hopefully they aren't in real trouble again because it would be sad if they suffered another insolvency. it's a bloody tradgedy what's happened to that club - once upon a time one of Englands giants. The fact that they and the likes of Sheffield Wednesday are in the lower leagues while teams like Swansea, Hull and Burnley are in the top flight is just unnatural. There but for the grace of god..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There but for the grace of god..... It's crazy, but their place was quickly (and eagerly) filled by clubs like those you mention plus clubs like Bolton. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
