So it looks like the Ontario teachers pension fund is looking into buying Leeds, at least according to TSN.

On the surface it looks like an “everybody wins” scenario since MLSE wants a piece of that action in the FA and Leeds can’t seem to catch a break since losing their footing in the Premiership. But if you look into Leeds United Chairman Ken Bates’ history, you’ll realize he is anything but a quitter. This is the man that took Chelsea from the brink of relegation to the 3rd division to a top flight team, eventually selling them to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for a profit of $35 million.

For Bates, his Leeds United endeavor is his “one last challenge”. To think he’s going to call it quits a division below where he started in 2005 is just silly.
