Bates - No ownership problems
Ken Bates insists there will be no issue surrounding the ownership of Leeds should they get promoted.
Leeds chief executive Shaun Harvey told MPs last month the club's owners are a holding company called FSF based in the West Indian island of Nevis, owned by three discretionary trusts.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore told the inquiry into football being held by the select committee on culture media and sport that Leeds would have to be more transparent about their owners should they earn a place in the top flight.
But Bates told Yorkshire Radio: "We are fully aware of Premiership rules because when the Football League drafted their rules they did them in consultation with the Premier League to make sure that they fitted in with each other and we satisfied the Football League.
"We know exactly what the requirements are of the Premier League rules and we do not anticipate any problems in meeting those requirements."
