Under heading 'Owners and directors', the link for '49ers Enterprises' goes to a Wikipedia page about an American businesswoman who owns the 49ers. Any better link? TheMagicPudding (talk) 05:07, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-{{edit semi-protected|answered=yes}}  "In 1984, another badge was introduced which lasted until 1998, making it the longest lived of the modern era."  Delete the second clause of this sentence entirely, as it's first, unsourced, and second, clearly wrong (or at least, outdated) according to the article's own text, which shortly thereafter discusses a badge in use from 2002 to 2019, which by my maths is about three years longer than the above.

-Did the article ever have a peer review? Because the archive link above is red, which kinda suggests it never happened. Or does it need to be removed from the talk page header templates?? [[User:Govvy|Govvy]] ([[User talk:Govvy|talk]]) 15:26, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

-Add the league history graphic that was removed by Mattythewhite on 3 Jan 2023. This graphic is used consistently throughout team pages to show progression up and down the league table and it's very useful/informative to quickly see a teams history over time without needing to parse through an entire history section (if it exists for a team):

-== Ken Bates' purchase ==
+== Edit request ==
-The board finally sold the club to [[Ken Bates]] for £10 million.
+Under heading 'Owners and directors', the link for '49ers Enterprises' goes to a Wikipedia page about an American businesswoman who owns the 49ers. Any better link? [[User:TheMagicPudding|TheMagicPudding]] ([[User talk:TheMagicPudding|talk]]) 05:07, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
-Really should be ammended to make clear that Bates paid £10m for a 50% share of the club, as per the source. I would also suggest that the article includes reference to the quote from Gerald Krasner (again in the source) that the club was £25m in debt at the time

-::As I said, you don't need to change sources, just accurately represent the BBC source already used:

-::"The 73-year-old former Chelsea chairman sealed the deal at 0227 GMT on Friday, and has bought a 50% stake in the club."
-::"Outgoing Leeds chairman Gerald Krasner said: 'When we took over Leeds United in March 2004, the club had a debt of £103m, since that date, my board has succeeded in reducing the debt to under £25m.'"

-::::In fact, the BBC source used doesn't even mention that he paid £10m for his stake, you will need a source for that too. But definitely you need to stop misrepresenting reality.

-The article claims that Ken Bates bought the club for £10m in 2005. This is false and obviously there is no source for this falsehood. The source you do (mis)use explains that he took a 50% stake, but doesn't mention what he paid. You will need a source for that.
