Leeds chairman Bates slams Chelsea's "shysters from Siberia"

Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has slammed Chelsea and is accusing them of illegally poaching two rookies from his Leeds academy.

Bates wants the Blues kicked out of the Champions League and deducted points.
Bates claims Chelsea broke the rules by snatching England Under-16 starlets Tom Taiwo and Michael Woods. He also said Daniel Rose resisted advances from Stamford Bridge to stay put.
Leeds chairman Bates is demanding £24MILLION in compensation to drop the charges.
Bates, 74, blasted: "We have reported Chelsea to the FA regarding the alleged tapping-up of three of our young players.
"We want to be compensated for the amount of work that has been put into developing the players. We're asking for £24m. We're going to report them to FIFA as well.
"Chelsea director Eugene Tenenbaum once told me over the phone 'People think we are just a bunch of schmucks from Siberia'.
"I said to him 'The way you are behaving, they will think you are a bunch of shysters from Siberia'. And, in my mind, so it has been proved.
"They are simply arrogant and they just don't care."
An FA spokesman said: "We've had communication from Leeds but no formal complaint. If this was received, we would give it due consideration."
