Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

So Mr Warnock thinks the Leeds fans are glass half empty fans - that's because Neil you promise so much and deliver so little, I find it insulting that he thinks he is doing such a good job when the players (some of them anyway) appear to give little in return - can you not hear the ironic cheering from the loom Neil when we have a shot or create na chance, give me strength - let's please have a manager who respects the Leeds fans and can at least for his huge salary expect to have to motivate the players he has signed

Poor, poor, poor again. I'd rather watch my 8 year olds team play. Why oh why does Colin persist with playing becehio and ehd together up front (pace of my nana......and she's dead!!)Barkley looks good and probably glad it's just for a month. White--- sh*te! Brown--- why when there's Norris, green and tonge. Peltier captain, you are having a giraffe warnock. GHD or bates in disguised whatever your called I don't blame you for not giving Colin money to buy anymore of his ex love children get adkins in now and give him some funds, then we may see football how it's supposed to be played instead of Roundhay

I'm going to try write this without swearing I'm that furious with Neil Warnock. So few weeks ago, he publicly slates aiden white. Today he slates him again for running 70 yards with the ball and losing it! Warnock that's called playing your heart out. The kid cannot do anything right . He then swears to us all that brown had a good game and came into the opposition half to get the ball back and passed it around, Eddie gray who commentated on the game says he cannot remember brown doing that today !then wanock has the tenacity to slate us leeds fans and say the glass is always half full here and ythres no pleasing us, he swears he's doing a brilliant job ! Eddie gray Saud Neil that's the expectation of leeds utd football club, Warnock says yes but that's through the years Eddie isn't, like they're not a big club anymore Eddie, Eddie Said well this football club will always have that expectation, then Colin has the cheek to say Becchio had a bad game and didn't hold the ball up well enough, he's not instilling beleif or confidence in the players at all.he can do one I cannot attend a game at moment coz I sit just behind the manager, and if I go ill be chucked out with what I have to say about that man. How can he tell leeds fans to be more realistic and optimistic when he slates his own players after we win? get lost Warnock take your sunday league coaching staff with you.

I think the players we have got at the club are able to play attractive football but the way Warnock wants us to play doesn't allow good performances.a few additions would be good but until we change manager it will be boring long ball till the end.
Warnock just wants a team that will defend all game and take a chance if we get 1 .

Critical win. Looks like NW finally figured out you play your best LB at LB. That means White right now. He also figured out you play Peltier in the center because he's kinda useful there. Only took 28 league games for him to figure it out. Now we got our best back four time to improve the midfield and get another striker. Next 11 days or so critical for us.
Believable11

White was Pants for the first 45 mins, out of position, gave the ball away as quick as he got it, always passing backwards, McCormack has to cover for him numerous times, he also had a words with him just before half time, a decent winger will skin him.

It is becoming slightly depressing now. 10 days left of the transfer window and no ambition has been shown. Our squad is the same, even if ryan hall and tonge are here permanently now, and its no good if warnock never plays hall anyway. Barkley hardly counts either if he just stays for 1 month. If it gets extended then fair enough. Couple in the fact that the last few days of the transfer window will have inflated prices, and we have even less time. If GFH don't have the money, then why would they buy leeds to see us not go to the PL? Once we get promoted surely the profits would sky rocket! Add in the parachute payments and a full ER every saturday... I just don't know why there haven't been any quality permanent signings yet. It must be down to money issues if its come to this date and nothing really has happened. But still, MOT

The sacking of Nigel adkins at the Saints is disgusting, but symptomatic of foreign owners coming into British clubs and just wanting to bring in foreign managers. Clubs have to be careful what they wiish for.
I'm not having a dig at GFH as we don't know what their plans are either in terms of getting new players in and NW's replacement should he decide to go in the summer.Nigel has done a super job for the Saints and that is how he is re-paid.
