Byron Stevenson

Former Leeds United defender Byron Stevenson passed away on Thursday morning.

The 50-year-old Welsh international made 110 appearances for the club between 1973 an 1982.

Byron, who was born in Llanelli and won 15 caps for his country, made his United debut in 1974 and his most prolific season was 1979/80 when he made 30 appearances and scored two goals.

Byron joined Birmingham City in March 1982, shortly before United's relegation from the top-flight, where he made 74 appearances before moving on to Bristol Rovers where he made 31 appearances during the 1985/86 season.

He returned to Leeds when his playing career ended in 1986 and, after helping out at Garforth Town, he was also involved in the licensed trade. Byron was also involved with Corpus Christie FC in Leeds.

We would like to offer our condolences to Byron's family and friends.

Leeds United clarification

Friday, 07 September 2007.

The FA can issue the following clarification regarding the status of Leeds United.
Following yesterday's FA Council meeting, Leeds United have lost their membership of The FA.

This means that Leeds United will not be able to vote at the AGM of FA shareholders, which approves any changes to The FA's constitutional structure. They have also lost their ticket privileges.

Membership was withdrawn as the new company running the club had not satisfied non-football creditors in accordance with FA Rules. Football creditors have been satisfied in full however.

Former Newcastle chairman in talks over Leeds takeover

Freddy Shepherd, the ousted chairman of Newcastle United, is about to make a sensational swoop to buy Leeds United from Ken Bates.

He has already had discussions with Bates, the owner of the ill-fated Yorkshire club, and takeover negotiations are believed to be at an advanced stage.
Shepherd and Bates were spotted dining together on Tyneside last week and independent sources have confirmed that Bates could be willing to sell — and that Shepherd is ready to buy.

Although Shepherd is still a regular visitor to St James' Park where he has a box, close associates have revealed that he has been missing the excitement of being involved in the game and recognises the potential of reinvigorating one of the biggest clubs in the country.

Only three months ago, Shepherd made more than £37.6million by selling his family's 28 per cent stake in Newcastle to billionaire Mike Ashley and he is thought to regard Leeds as the perfect opportunity to make a quick return to football.

Despite their relegation to League One and the 15-point penalty imposed for financial rule breaches, Leeds remain an attractive investment because of their pedigree, strong fan base and development potential around Elland Road and the training ground at Thorpe Arch.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs last month dropped court action over the controversial sale of Leeds back to a company run by Bates after the former Chelsea chairman had put the club into administration with debts of £35m at the end of last season.

While tax chiefs may still seek to recoup a sizeable portion of the £8m they are owed, Bates is now effectively in control of a club which is virtually debt-free.

The sale process, to Shepherd or any other party, will nonetheless take some time.

First, the old football club company, Leeds United Association Football Club Ltd, will be taken from administration into liquidation, either by administrators KPMG or another firm.

The money received from Bates for the club will then be used to pay off non-football creditors at a reported rate of about 11p in the pound.

Once that hurdle is overcome, the club, now under the banner of Leeds United 2007 Ltd, a company in which Bates and allies Shaun Harvey and Mark Taylor are directors, will be able to re-apply for full FA membership.

jbt-e dok sam citao prvi deo tekste pomislio sam da su ih izbacili iz takmicenja , al posle vidim da nisu

ni ja ovo pravo da ti kazem ne razumem, ali onako logicki rekao bih da su im oduzeli pravo na neke akcije/deonice u fa, kao i da nemaju pravo u menjanju strukture fa, sto izgleda imaju pravo svi klubovi pod okriljem fa.  .

takodje i da su izgubili privilegije za ulaznice ... to mi nije jasno sta bi to moglo da znaci...
