Sacked by Leeds now He is a multi-millionaire tax avoider living in Monaco. Bates said he had been sacked by GFH from his role as club president. He said this was after he committed Leeds United, for the next three years, to paying for a private jet to fly him from Monaco to Leeds whenever he needed. The cost to the club of the contract with the corporate aeroplane charter company was thought to be about £500,000 over the three years.
