'HM Revenue and Customs intends to press ahead with its legal challenge to the process that led to Ken Bates taking control of Leeds United.
'Bates's Leeds United 2007 company was awarded the Football League share last Friday night after a week of negotiations involving himself, the league and the administrator, KPMG. But the taxman, which was owed £7.7m when Leeds went into adminstration in May, still intends to see KPMG and Bates's company in court on September 3, the date set for its challenge to the company voluntary arrangement [CVA] by which Bates was initially given control of the Elland Road club.'
