Reports are reaching us of a football scandal of 'Thomas Brolin' proportions. A source close to Leeds Utd claims that Mr Ken 'Watch My Lips' Bates has enlisted the assistance of international superhero Captain Scarlet in his efforts to retrieve a chest containing 15 League One Points.
The chest has been housed in the football league offices since August 2007, where it had previously spent time in administration, although it origins could be traced back to Peter 'I Have a Dream' Ridsdale and a group of young bucks on frightening wages and offices full of goldfish!
It is thought that any attempt to capture the chest of points would involve Captain Scarlet impersonating Football League Chairman Brian 'Adolf' Mahwinney and swapping the chest with a doppleganger containing a box of milk tray and a pickled egg!
Captain Scarlet was absent during the training module on appropriate calling cards. However, as this report is likely to blow the whole hustle it seems Leeds United will have to rely on the clever mind control ability of Kenneth Bates (it did work on Vialli but Gullit was more immune! Maybe down to having more hair!).
[With special thanks to Captain Scarlet]
