Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has branded Everton a "two-bob club" over their pursuit of striker Jermaine Beckford.

The Daily Mail says Bates has been caught on a YouTube video branding Everton a "two-bob club" as he called on Beckford to stay.

Talking at a celebratory dinner following Beckford's winning goal against Bristol Rovers, Bates was filmed saying: 'Jermaine, thank you.

"It's not too late to think about not going to a two-bob club like Everton, and staying with a club who have got a great future, like Leeds United."
