Independent 22/6/07 Wise vows to 'get things right' at Elland Road By Jon Culley Published: 22 June 2007 With his recruiting plans limited by a transfer embargo and pre-season training only 10 days away, Dennis Wise may have been taking a closer interest than usual in the youngsters being coached as he was shown round a new inner-city sports facility in a run-down industrial area close to the centre of Leeds. The Leeds United manager, invited to open the £420,000 Barclays Spaces for Sport project at Hunslet Boys and Girls Club yesterday, admitted that he had already seen 10 potential targets slip through his grasp as he waits for a lifting of the block imposed by the Football League after relegated Leeds went into administration. "Players who are on frees or have turned down contracts get jittery and want things sorted out, they don't want to wait," he said. "We have earmarked players we want and asked them to be patient but there are a lot, maybe 10, who hav...

Daily Mail 15/6/07 Ridsdale is poised to lift lid on Leeds By CHARLES SALE All the signs are pointing to former Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale writing a no-holds barred book about his time at the crisis club. Ridsdale, who was in charge at Elland Road from 1997 to 2003 in the heady period when the team reached the semi-final of the Champions League, is dismayed by continually being blamed for the club’s current demise despite having left more than four years ago. Leeds went into administration and were relegated to League One last season. Ridsdale, now chairman of Cardiff City, wants to put the record straight and his surprise appearance at the Nancy Dell’Olio book launch, as a guest of literary super agent Ali Gunn, suggests he is about to do so. Ridsdale already has links with Gunn through Five Live’s Ian Dennis, a close confidant during his time at Leeds. Dennis’s brother Steve, who works closely with Gunn, ghosted Princess Diana bodyguard Paul Burrell’s life story as well as Ashley ...
Yorkshire Post 13/6/07 MP demands answers on Leeds United rescue deal By Rob Waugh EXCLUSIVE: Police are being urged to investigate whether criminal activity, including money laundering, was involved in the controversial financial collapse and immediate resurrection of Leeds United under the same owners. A Yorkshire MP has called on the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to probe the involvement of anonymously-owned offshore companies in forcing through the resale of Leeds, which had gone into administration, to a company represented by Ken Bates – even though it was claimed they had no connection with the club chairman. Phil Willis, a Leeds United fan and Liberal Democrat MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, is highly critical of the way Leeds went into administration with debts of £35m and then was immediately resold to the same owners on the same day, subject to approval by creditors. The deal was voted through by creditors last week after th...
