After the takeover for which he was the most visible figure, he said he did not own any shares in Leeds, was not connected to the ownership, and that he was only the UK representative of the company that had bought Leeds.
The public cannot see who owns companies in tax havens; secrecy is one of the key services offered by such countries, many of them former British colonies or protectorates. The Forward Sports Fund's investment in Leeds was administered by a financial firm based on the fifth floor of an elegant building in well-appointed Geneva, where we filmed for the BBC's Inside Out documentary.
Switzerland 's law also preserves the anonymity of investors, according to the firm administering Forward Sport's Fund's investment, Chateau Fiduciaire. Shaun Harvey external-link , the club's chief executive, told the select committee at a session in Burnley that he did not know who the owners were, and - "to my knowledge," he said - neither did his chairman, Ken Bates. The Premier League external-link chief executive, Richard Scudamore, gave evidence to the committee shortly afterwards, saying that if Leeds were promoted, the Premier League would interpret the rules more strictly and require Leeds to say who the owners were.
Just days later, Leeds announced Bates had bought the club. The unnamed investors who had apparently owned Leeds for six years, and certainly since the club came out of administration in , had decided to sell it to him. Bates, a UK tax exile resident in Monaco , had bought the club from the anonymous investors, via a company registered in Nevis, the West Indies , another tax haven.
Neither Bates, the club nor Chateau Fiduciaire said how much Bates paid to buy Leeds, why the unnamed investors had decided to sell when the club could achieve promotion and be worth a great deal more or, when they decided to sell, what efforts they had made to find a buyer, perhaps internationally, before concluding Bates was the buyer for them.
Preparing for the programme, we asked Leeds United and Bates to appear for an interview to discuss these issues, but he declined. He has banned The Guardian external-link from Elland Road after articles I wrote covering Forward Sports Fund's ownership external-link , and he has now banned the BBC from non-contracted coverage of the club external-link. Clarke too declined to be interviewed.
In a debate in parliament, Collins said of Leeds United: "There can be few people in football who do not privately believe that Ken Bates has effectively been in control of the club for most of the past six years.
