Leeds owner insists that investors are welcome By Subhankar Mondal
Leeds United owner Ken Bates has insisted he is still in discussion with potential investors.
The Championship club revealed on June 26 that they had granted an exclusivity period to would-be investors, but issued a statement on August 10 confirming that period had ended with no deal being reached.
Subsequent reports suggested that no more takeover negotiations were going to take place, but Bates has now dismissed them.
"Suffice to say that the exclusivity period granted to the original would-be investor have now lapsed, but we are continuing talks with the same people," he wrote in his programme notes ahead of Saturday's season-opener with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
On the lack of public support and abuse he has received from Leeds supporters over the years, Bates wrote: "We have to get it right and public comment and chants doesn't help.
"They have discouraged two parties who didn't like what they saw or heard."
