Leeds promotion hinges on Bates takeover by January: Warnock
LEEDS boss Neil Warnock feels the club’s promotion hopes this season could hinge on the proposed takeover by GFH Capital being completed in time for the January transfer window.
Bahrain-based investment bank GFH Capital and Leeds chairman Ken Bates announced at the end of last month the £40million deal was close to completion.
“Everybody knows what we’re waiting for really,” Warnock said. “If we don’t get anyone in I think we’d be where we are now (in the table) come January but everybody at the club knows that.
