Leeds may be debt-free in a year
Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell has revealed that the club will be almostdebt-free within a year.
Blackwell told BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "It is only 18
months since the club was relegated and in ￡121m worth of debt.
"We have had to deal with that millstone around our necks and still try to
win games - and despite having lost so many players.
"But this time next year the club will not be in any debt whatsoever."
As a result of Leeds' crippling debt - and drop into the Championship - they
were forced to sell many of their biggest players.
Robbie Fowler, Harry Kewell, Jonathan Woodgate, Aaron Lennon, Paul Robinson,
Danny Mills and Olivier Dacourt are just some who departed.
Not all of those who left the club left the payroll.
Fowler and Nicky Barmby were being paid by Leeds up until this summer.
And BBC Sport understands that Mills and Paul Okon are still receiving a
salary - and will do so until the end of this season.
According to Blackwell there are more than half a dozen ex-Leeds players
still drawing money from the club.
Blackwell said: "We have not invested in players this year but that has
helped to pay the players - seven of them - who are not at this football
club anymore.
"That situation ends at the end of the season and the club will move on
quite quickly and have actually dealt with its debts.
"Whereas other clubs are still carrying ￡40-50m worth of debt, we will be
right down to maybe ￡4-5m.
"My understanding is that this time next year the club will be well off in
terms of finances - in the top six or seven clubs in the country."
好！！:icon032: 好呀, 睇下宜家會唔會跌落英甲:( :icon112: 但係今季打得好頹喎:icon101: 頂,而家排緊尾幾呀,搞返掂隊波先啦:icon062:
biggest playerd竟然冇AS....冇大水牛都算啦:icon101:
[ 本帖最後由 基維蝦 於 2006-9-1703:28 PM 編輯 ] 下年再大搞過 :icon101: 下 點解會仲收緊人工既 係就好囉 的確係好事既，但係今年打得咁差亦都係一個大問題
攻力不足係一個大問題，加上主場威力無咗....
今年都係只可以爭附加賽資格吧﹗其實兩年來上年係好有條件同機會升班，但係到咗季尾接連失分，其實亦反映出球隊後備兵員不足既問題，展望下季吧，買入多d既球員
如果下年都升唔到班，有機會會長時間都留係英冠...好似打比同葉士咁
