Not a popular man for many in football.
Funnily enough, was reading about him this morning in Sheepy’s book. It’s fair to say Bates was a thorn in the side of him a few times.

I think the first I recall hearing about him was when he installed an electric fence around the perimeter of Stamford Bridge and wasn't allowed to switch it on.
Didn't hear too much about him after sticking Leeds into administration after our draw at Elland Road effectively relegated them to the third tier. Although he was there for a number of years afterwards. |  | | |

Bearing in mind what Bates said about fellow Chelsea director Matthew Harding when he was killed in a helicopter crash, I feel okay saying Bates was a nasty, evil man. |  |

Uh-oh.
Pearl clutching, hand wringing and virtue signalling are all heading your way, Radlett.
On Bates, a difficult character to warm to for sure. But I did enjoy his quote to the press pack when Chelsea were relegated.
I’m off to my 300-acre farm. You lot can bu@@er off to your council houses.
And out of interest, how long has bu@@er been unacceptable language? |  |

I don't enjoy that quote at all. It's grotesque. |  |
