Zaha? Ha! Byram had him in is pocket. At the game and thought Leeds were better. Jerome Thomas made a big difference and last night we got more crosses in than we have done all season! GFH will hopefully spend a few pounds in January!

I was at match yesterday as I always am and was stupid enough to think that all the people who said they would come back when TO went through actually would come back. I've been a ST for a long time and know how difficult financially it has been to keep going to every game. But if yu don't show up until we start winning how can you be anything other than a fair weather fan?

Leeds fans have been taken for a ride and felt alianated by whats gone on for the last 7 years , they are still leeds fans , they wont be supporting anyone else and when they see that the new board are treating the fans with respect and want to build a team we can all be proud of and worthy of our club theyll be back , no problem .

More will come back now after that good win even more so if we win next game
Agree0

I'm sorry, well no im not, how can ppl still be going on about feeling cheated over last 7 years, surely getting into the rut selling all our player to cover the depts in the first place was when we were cheated. That was the cause of it all and ppl and still moaning about bates after he has sold the club. The takeover has gone though get a grip and get behide the team and show as much support as you can. Im going to go to as many games as I can afford this season, it wont be many as I live miles away, but the ppl who have been saying im not lining bates pocket which is the pethetic as the money is clearing going in to the club not in his pocket! I dont have a problem with the ppl who cant afford to go week in week out, its the ones that are more intresting in moaning rather that shouting about the fact we have new oweners and investment, new faces, and what looks like a new attitude after saturday.

Your not going to go to all the games as you live too far away? Call yourself a real fan, a real fan goes to every game no matter what.
Agree0
Disagree8
To last poster.
So a "real" fan goes no matter what.
Does that mean people who have kids and mortgages should give them up and go to the match. You need to live in the real world. Not everyone can afford to go every game and it doesn't mean that they aren't real fans. I could go to watch my local team every week because its 2 miles away and cheap but it doesn't make me a real fan.
Agree2

The fact is there were more leeds fans not at the game than were there on saturday . how many clubs in the c-ship can get a crowd of 20,000 and say that . look at the bright side

I thought both new loan players looked great, Pearce and lees win everything in the air but haven't got a pass between them. Thomas looks like he knows how to play a bit as well as gettting crosses in and taking players on, what a difference to watching the headless chicken that is Aidy White. Also if you play lees at right back (when Pearce is back) and push Byram to right mid I think ehd will love playing football with two wingers who can actually play football.....
My team for tues would be.
Kenny
Byram. Tate. Lees. Pelltier (doh!)
Green Norris. Tonge. Thomas
ELD. Rossco
Maybe swapping green and Byram if required, I think this gives us better actual footballers and would hopefully create a better passing game instead of the normal hoof to becehio, becehio loses it etc etc....yawn yawn yawn!!

People saying their staying away because of bates. :(
Ye he ruined our club but staying away now will do nothing but harm our club.
It's rediculous how people say "I'm not coming because bates is still involved."
Bates isn't our club and will have hardly any influence next season.
People that say this need to grow up or reveal themselves as not real supporters.
Bates has done bad in the past to our club. But their is no reason now to use him as an excuse for not supporting the team.
If u use him as an excuse now, you'll be using him as an excuse in 30 years time when he's probably dead!
Believable21
Unbelievable7
People who stay away because of Bates were never real fans!! They are using Bates as a scape goat and they are as pathetic as the trouble causes (LUST). Leeds would be better off without LUST, they've caused more damage to our club than anyone including Ridsdale!

Most certainly unless he lives to 111.

Could never get into the 'we hate bates' mentality. He saved the club, made his money , got out(almost) amd left us in the Championship with a decent manager and new owners. What are you whinging about?

25 Nov 2012 13:04:37
Regarding the Bates issue. I don't really like him but let's face it he did save the club, he has stabilised the finances, he has improved the revenue stream and we are now in profit. We now have new owners and Bates will move upstairs. OK he has made a lot of money out of the sale of the club but what does that tell you? He is a good business man. GHF probably need his advice during the transition period and in his presidency. So no more Bates out chanting. It's a new era. Let everything be positive from now on, no negativity at ER. Get behind the team and I am sure they will repay us, if not this season DEFINITELY next. JD

The replier just sums up what is wrong with these bates out morons! I understand there point but when you put your point across in a rational way they cannot look at the evidence they look at whatever twisted lie they have read on 1 website! I'm sure Chelsea won't hate him now he left them in the hands of Abramovic

After derby game it showed Leeds goals, and both pundits said that Warnock said we will not be spending real money in jan mainly loans. Back in the summer Warnock said he twice was getting ready to spend big. I wonder if lust (ps I can't stand g cooper media hore) were telling the truth and there was a consortia with more money who bates turns down as he would have been out. I guess we will no in jan, but I get the fealing the 8 million quoted in papers and on Fan sites was just guess work hope not . I also listend to kens weekly staged interview and he said we turnd down a prem player cos he was 34 and his club wanted a full time deal in jan he said he spoke to ghf money man and he agreed the lad was on too much money considering his age, I think the player in question was Clint hill.
Believable7
Unbelievable1
I think what they said about only loan players was bull!
U wouldn't buy a club say u want prem then say "only loans people " it's all bull
+warnock and gfh said in January funds will be made available. And I hear warnock will get a pick of the transfer.
They're wrong. In almost sure

Please someone say something that makes this not make sense!

Clint Hill back in QPR team now Hughes has gone and had good game against the scum. Maybe 'Arry will have seen enough to make him stay at Loftus Road though I do agree would be a good acquisition to a Championship side

I think 8mil is a lie yeah, however feel 3/4mil is reasonable, and closer to what we will be given.

25 Nov 2012 16:33:43
i would expect us to sign players on permanent deals in jan but probably around the £1 mil mark each .i cant see us bringing in many players on loan as im pretty sure warnock doesn't like loaning players unless it the only option . diouf is still needing a deal so hope he gets signed up before hes snatched away
Agree3
Disagree0
Just enjoy the ride , don't listen to what 'pundits' say, and if you dont know yet that warnock is great at playing things down then you never will
Agree3
Disagree0
Actually Warnock did not say that, it was Peter Beagrie trying to read between the lines after Warnock talked about the loans and then added he'd like another 2 or 3 in January. No mention that those 2 or 3 would be loans.
Agree3
Disagree0
I think the £8m (if true) is not just simply for transfer fee's, it'll be for additional wages too. signing EHD on a proper contract for example will take some of that budget, if we keep Tait & Thomas will take more. I can't see much big spending in Jan however it'll be nice to know if someone is available who Warnock wants, he can go after him.
I personally don't expect to see loads of big signings until the summer
Agree0
Disagree4
Why oh why would we be waiting until the summer? There's absolutely no point in that at all. Our squad still has nowhere near enough depth.
Obviously nobody at Leeds is going to shout too loudly from the rooftops about how much money we will be spending in January, or other clubs will just inflate their prices for our targets.
I fully expect 3 or 4 quality signings in January to give us a real chance of going for it this season.
Agree2
Disagree0
Well no ones going to brag that we've got millions so prices will be inflated. JD

Bates was only tight with his cash because it was his cash. hes now got someone elses money to spend so time for fans to drop the bates excuse hes not gonna have much say in what warnock gets to spend i just think that bates will be showing haigh how to run a football club .
Agree4
Disagree0
His titles mean nothing, he has no influence over the team or the finances, he has 0% of leeds utd, he is there only to help the new owners
Agree4
Disagree3
As I see it,once the takeover is done,Bates will only be president with very little or no financial gain,or influence,if he despised Leeds United as some on here would have you believe,surely he would walk away,,if his mere presence still offends all these stay away fans,the solution is simple,stay the f-uck away and "support" someone else.
