how bad was the performance tonight? was it as poor as I have red.

Just watched McDermott in a post match interview, he didn't look happy and was just going on about were we are in the league and said it's about the right place and saying the situation needs sorting fast.
Well I'm sorry Brian but the running of the club or who owns it really has nothing to do with you, you get paid to pick the team which you half put together, you'll get paid what ever the outcome, so I'd concentrate on that due to another poor performance tonight and after a lucky win on Saturday.
I've got a lot of respect for Brian after the fiasco the other week but the respect is starting to dwindle a bit!

To be fair the players will be seeing what were seeing, hearing what were hearing, reading what were reading, the man did lose his job then got it back again, the players thought they had a new manager then they didn't.Christ sake cut the man some slack he has had more to deal with in the last few months than most managers do in a lifetime, so I think he has a right to a little whinge, and is doing a fantastic job in the circumstances.

We defo missed Stewart last night . We need a new winger maybe 2 if kebe not good enough . I think Stewart was getting better each game . Need more competition in this position . I think Murphy is a bit average. I still believe in the manager . Just needs a season with some cash so he can strengthen all areas. It ok saying he brought in these players but he probably wanted different players as well or instead but we couldn't afford

Just our luck, Phil hay tweets cellino is ill tonight, just when we found a buyer the old Italian stallion going to croak it, just brilliant.

very poor tonight, not looking like lads fighting for bmd.

BWR

Underwhelming as usual, I honestly don't understand what the problem is, I know they players aren't great but in general they're not a bad bunch, pretty average, shouldn't be playing like they do.
I think bmcd has stagnated the team, they don't know what to do and he doesn't know what he wants them to do.
If were all honest with ourselves never mind board disruptions and lack of funds etc. he needs to go, I don't believe anything will change until there's a change of manager ( even with new players)

BMD will be fired before the end of the season. He is a wonderful person but football is all about results and his record at Leeds speaks for itself. I would love to see him stay but I am not the Italian.

Love to see him stay. Wot and get us relegated, nice man but he's not a football manager!

Come on Noel, now's your chance!

Okay here goes! Deal or erm no deal? Edmonds wouldve been a better signing!

Yep, he got a yellow card, despite only coming on for the last few minutes, well done!

Ok Guys, Maybe ED013 can back me up here

GFH actually borrowed £4 million off bates in November, this is to be paid back over 4 years, This is what I believe to have ben the lowering of the original bid

Ref Farnan or what ever his name is, trying to blackmail us to accept his bid stinks

Lets hope Cellino gets the green light, this time next year, we will be millionaires lol

{Ed013's Note - I was lead to believe that GFH owed Ken Bates 4 million over 4 years, or if it wasn't direct to him then it is to the company that loaned him the cash for the East stand improvements. They have since borrowed 6 million off of Flowers, so the figures show that they aren't putting any of their own money in and were hoping the profits paid for everything}

Bates confirmed in snail on Sunday that gfh had no outstanding debts with him?

I'm surprised you believe anything you read in the snail, let alone anything that comes out of Bates's mouth?

For Sale: One Striker, good runner (in all directions except the goal), loads of previous owners (motivation usually lasts 10-12 months due to small capacity), a few knocks ( has a habit of colliding with corner flags/posts/other players and falling over ). Excellent strike rate, well, in pre season. All enquiries to Venkeys we have washed our hands

Why do stupid people make up so many terrible lies on here.
FL rules you can't take a player on loan in this window if they are not registered already with a British club.

Can a player who is not attached to a club be picked up, even if foreign? And could a few be released from calgari in order for leeds to sign them? Just a thought.

11 Feb 2014 16:29:04
Survivor, have you any info on possible targets?

That's actually a quality idea for a loophole release them for no comp or loss to the owner because he is re signing them instantly for his other club. Going to keep my eye out for that one!

11 Feb 2014 11:04:28
Relax people fernan has no chance gfh excepted the cellino offer, waitin on fl approval wed/thurs its in the bag,, also fl haven't got the power to who Leeds can say of owning the club mot

If the FL tell GFH to talk to Leeds Together consortium then GFH could take that as the FL recommending the Leeds Together bid. Then if anything went wrong now or in the future the FL could face legal action for recommending an unsuitable bid.

FL will simply either approve or block the Cellino takeover. They are in no legal position to look at the Leeds together bid as it has not been accepted by GFH and is therefore irrelevant

Brown envelopes?

Two long trips in 4 days?

11 Feb 2014 12:07:01
the players just didn't turn up

The trips one is a fair point. Wont blame him for using that one.

Two trips- poor things! Hope they got pack lunch, eh!
I will winge after they play bristol, not before!
I don't like wingeing, damn it! Just not a lot to cheer about on the field.
Anyway I predict barnsley 1 leeds 1
