Warnock best play ashdown in the net against Chelsea. It's not fair that he plays the games upto it then doesn't play the big one. Hope he gets picked for the net. Hate it when teams do that!

Warnock already stated Ashdown will keep his place in the team for the CHELSEA HEAD HUNTERS!! Said he's been keeping himself fit for these games.

GHF/ LUFC joint statement-

The potential transfer of ownership of Leeds United Holdings moved significantly closer today. Both parties can now confirm that a pen which will be used to sign the necessary contractual paper work has now been purchased. The pen, described by Samir Patel of GHF as ' a modern, chrome, slimline design with an ink cartridge facility' was purchased by GFH's appointed lawyers based in London. It is believed the pen was bought in Sothebys and to be a 'top end' of the market product. Ken Bates, current chairman and majority shareholder of Leeds United said:

''This is great news and a huge step forward. Both parties can now confirm that a pen is in place with which the deal can be finalised and pen can, quite literally, be put to paper. People have grown frustrated at the timescale for this deal and we appreciate that it has taken a while. However, people have to understand the complexities of a purchase of this nature and size. You cant for example just pick up a biro and sign the forms. There is a certain way of doing things which will ensure that the deal is right for everyone. The purchase of this pen is one such step and brings the conclusion of this saga closer''

David Haigh of GFH said:

' GFH can now confirm that instructed solicitors have now purchased a pen. I havent seen the pen personally as yet, but I have seen pictures and its a great pen. We are now in a position to sign the relevant documents once other, similar requirments, such as paper, are in place to finally complete the deal'.

It is understood that a deal has still yet to be struck in relation to where to store the pen, and how to transport it to the chosen locatoin. These issues are expected to be ironed out during a further round of talks next week in Monaco. It is not known if the pen will be present. These issues are not thought to be problematic and it is now anticipated that completion can be expected within the next '3-4 weeks'. {Ed013's Note - #Pen4Ken}

Sums it all up really

.....this is just a wind up, right? If it is, its a bloody good one! LOL.

If it's not, then Ken needs to ******* sort his act out pronto!

Major font problems 2 overcome

Like it. One thing concerns me though and could be quite significant. The statement says that the pen takes an ink cartridge yet no mention is made of the colour of ink to be used. Surely this will necessitate a further round of talks to agree on a colour and result in the signing being put back a little while longer. MOT! White4Life.

What about the ink then, and has anybody thought of a sponsor for the pen?

Not like Ken to miss a trick like this - lol?

Waste of Leeds funds again from Bates, it's not like he didn't receive hundreds of pens in the post lol

Good P**stake though. I demand to know the weight of paper. Hope it's not a small weak paper that a cup of coffee spill would ruin. Another 4 weeks to fix that would do my head in

Crmd

They've now been intouch with top doctors for PROZAC! This is just to make sure Ken keeps his eyes on the pen, with no shakes involved. Knowone is quiet show what the after affects will be on poor Ken but like we give a F+CK!!

And surely we'd have to have some quality blotting paper on hand?

Wouldn't want anyone to 'smudge' those precious signatures.......

Prozac is an anti-depressant. May make more sense to refer to ARICEPT an anti dementia drug,..delays the onset.

LLHB MOT

It didn't take this long to sign the Magna carta.

Hang on! Blotting paper?? You cant sign a deal on blotting paper! This will have to go back to the solicitors now!

With Ross coming back in time for the game we might have a chance. Ed, do you know what's going on with Somma? {Ed013's Note - Mate I am clueless, we get told he has starting training, but not heard anything for weeks}

This is when Warnock says, bring out the secret weapon. I take it they don't want to rush him after last time.

we dont really know facts about diouf but when on ssn theres usually no smoke without fire.
but it would be just another nail in the coffin really.. {Ed013's Note - The main thing is that Neil wants Diouf and Diouf wants to stay. The problem is with his agent being greedy. Diouf was on 2 grand at Donny and now 5 grand at Leeds. Diouf wants a longer contract more than anything, but time will tell}

Diouf is on 1 grand pw, Neil is always saying how he's the lowest paid player by a mile. he deserves more and a loyalty bonus to match the earnings he missed out on.

One grand a week my arse,why post rubbish like this,by all accounts hes on 5 grand a week,not a lot for a player of his capacity,NW will sort it.

Watch the takeover now not happen until Christmas. Bates is so tight he won't wanna miss out on the big bucks coming in from the Chelsea game.

More utter rubbish from a Bates hater.

Hi ken

01 Nov 2012 09:50:13

What difference would it make the games in december we cant strenghen the team anyway just hope GFH get in before January

Get ready for the I'M NOT GOING ANYMORE BRIGADE turning up for the Chelsea game,Average 22,000 at the moment but you can bet your life another 15,000 turn up for this game.

To true...i might go to that game. hope it makes you happy :-)

Nope, still not putting money in Bates pocket - sorry Mr Bates....

Sorry but don't believe anybody who says they are not going to Leeds "because Bates is in charge". If you don't want to go, then fine but if you were a true Leeds supporter you would go regardless of who the chairman is. I personally don't like Bates but I support the club and wouldn't let my dislike of Bates stop me from going!

And i bet who ever posted this only goes to the big games himself get a grip if fans dont wanna go that is up to them i for one wont be going till bates has left and thats my choice not anybody else is bates out!

" if you were a true Leeds supporter you would go regardless of who the chairman is."

Normally I would agree, but NOT when that same chairman is taking money OUT of the club for his own pocket instead of investing it in OUR future - ESPECIALLY when it looks like he may be getting a 50 plus million pound payoff anyway?

I have supported Leeds through thick and thin, but not through fat back pockets........

Bates is very tight but you must remember what he did for Leeds paying off all our debt and developing the club from nothing and he is just a buisnessman and was never passionate about football and was only ever in it for the money which is the same with most chairmans they will come in spend big and then never give the club money again

"which is the same with most chairmans they will come in spend big and then never give the club money again"

... and when exactly has Bates EVER spent big then, or did I blink and miss something??

He may have turned the club round, but it's time to move on and look for another lost, er, I mean, worthy cause....

Takeovers 99% done and all you losers can do is bang on about Bates,you obviously hate Bates more than you love Leeds,poor supporters in my view,

Why can't Leeds negotiate contracts . you know bates is going to try hold out until January sometime to sell up fully just to have 1 more laugh at us leeds fans as diouf moves clubs its that last kick in the nuts that everyone as been waiting for .

You mean he will wait till the END of the transfer window, not buy anyone - and THEN sell up.....

01 Nov 2012 02:15:17
does anybody agree joe cole would be a great addition to the squad? just what we need creative defence splitting midfielder, all we need then is a good striker!

Yeah and so would nani.. but there on 70-100 grand a week... we cant pay diouf 5 grand a week hardly... Pointless Post

Was watching league cup show and the presenter said "its time to see if any of these clubs could make a name of themselves". Next leeds v southampton. Does everyone has amnesia except us leeds fans. I'm pretty sure we were in the prem and the champions league not too long ago. Well i suppose if ur in the champions league your not that much of a name. Real Madrid? Who are they?

We're not famous anymore! (As the song goes)

What !!

Can anyone make sense of the original post???
