They're also...

still paying the wages of half a dozen players who aren't even at Elland Road anymore. 16,000 there yesterday, no Prem parachute payment... no tangable assets (did they actually buy the ground back like Bates said they would?)... and yet they're bailing themselves out of ?100m worth of debt in a year?

If Leeds thought it came close to disaster post Ridsdale, it ain't seen nothing yet.
