Bates to unveil Leeds plans

New Leeds chairman Ken Bates will finally announce his plans for the club’s future on Thursday following his takeover three days ago.

Former Chelsea chairman Bates, who bought a 50% stake in Leeds for a fee believed to be £10m (€14.4m), is to hold a press conference at The Pavilion at Elland Road at 3pm.

On the same day, Bates will then meet the supporters for the first time at 7pm in the Banqueting Suite, with a maximum of 500 allowed entry.
