I keep seeing rumours that "Joel Ward signs for Ipswich, on there website" and "Joel Ward signs for Crystal Palace, on their website" yet nothing appears on their sites and Ward stays at Pompey.
Can we all stop making these rubbish rumours up and then wait for something concrete

Take over rumour...is this just hope or has it got some legs?

Is this why the Ward deal is off/stalled?

Last i heared, KB didnt want to sell, but wanted investment......just can see anyone taking over Leeds and if they do it could mean we wont be buying anyone for a while until all the paperwork goes through.

Would love to have a take over.....just a dream for us lads though.

I seriously hope Joel does sign, not to prove we have money but just so you moaning f@ckers shut up about. Can any of you buy the club? No, so until papa sells give it a rest and back warnock to get it right, which he will. We'll be ok, have some trust. Expect proper business to be done in June.

It's getting tiresome reading the same posters wanting to burn down ER, have papa taken out and our manager to walk, why!

Crystal palace have sign joel ward

Well said!

Grayson has another promotion under his belt...

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Good luck to him! I just hope we beat them this season -Mac

Agree4 Disagree2

You mean Grayson takes the credit for all Lee Clarkes work.

Agree3 Disagree2

You mean Grayson is a much better manager than Lee 'i cant get the best team in the division promoted' Clark?

Well done to Simon Grayson- truly nice guy. Will be very interesting indeed to see how he does next season especially if he has a generous transfer budget

Believable8 Unbelievable4

He will go up....we will stay put...I guarantee it.

Agree2 Disagree4

You might be right about Huddersfield going up but i think leeds will go down and swap places with shef utd

Agree0 Disagree0

That would be like us

Congratulations to Larry and Huddersfield, sad thing dean hoyle will back Larry with funds now, unlike bates, sure Hudds have sold alot of players for millions and have a turnover/profit more than Leeds, what a joke of a club we are now. Still mugs like myself still throw hard earnt money at the club to see nothing given back. Sad times

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Well bog of and support Hudds then,and give credit where its due,it was Clarke who did the bulk of the work,Grayson took over a good side,lets see how he does from now,support your team or do one.

Agree5 Disagree2

Here we are congratulating Huds and they have a severe dislike for us???

Agree4 Disagree0

Well said second post. Udders could of been promoted without a manager, Grayson did nothing to improve them

Agree4 Disagree1

Grayson took over a side that drew too many games and were destined for play-off disapointment under clark

Agree1 Disagree4

Clarke wouldn't of got past mk dons in the play offs never mind get them promoted ,well done grayson

Agree2 Disagree0

26 May 2012 18:15:25
Justice! Simon Grayson was wrongfully sacked from the club he loves, and now hes back in the championship, shame its with Huddersfield but nobodys perfect, myself and im sure many other fans will be giving him a standing ovation when Hudds visit Elland Road

Believable9 Unbelievable6

Clarke was wrongfully sacked too,and wheres the mention of all the work he did to leave Grayson with a good side.

Agree6 Disagree1

3 promotions in 6 years - at least it's good to see the Larry Out brigade on here are keeping quiet. Bet they felt really clever watching us fall to 14th with relegation form after he was sacked.

Well done Simon. I'd love to see you back in the home dugout one day.

Agree7 Disagree4

Grayson gave clark credit, grayson is 100 times the manager clark is

Agree5 Disagree3

Still only proves he's a lg1 manager

Agree5 Disagree2

Grayson was not the man for Leeds. am getting fed up with this love in for other teams. the only other team you should be happy for is Leeds reserves. stuff the rest . wishing good luck to those inbreds isn't right. south Leeds white

Agree4 Disagree3

Still only proves he is a league1 manager? Get real. He has got OUT of it 3 times! Kept Blackpool in the championship from which they gained promotion the following year. Almost got us to the play offs with no budget, and got sacked when he had a chance of getting into the play off's again. That ain't league 1

Agree3 Disagree1

Promotion the following year at blackpool because he left and the next team he left will get promotion the following year too!

Agree4 Disagree0

What about U18s if thats the way youre gonna play it? im not happy for Huddersfield, i cant stand them, im happy for Simon Grayson because he should still be our manager!

Agree0 Disagree0

To the guy that says hes a lg1 manager, whats NW then? a championship manager? i think everyteam hes got promoted to the top flight has either been relegated or hes been sacked before they went down anyway, hes not as good as everybody makes him out to be

Agree0 Disagree0

Ufortunately, the only way we will get rid of master bates and his cling ons, is to boycott all things Leeds and stop these leaches from making money off our great club! I for one am not going to put any more money in the pockets of people who only care about that very thing! BATES OUT!

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Go support someone else you plum!! you are all we need o.w

Agree2 Disagree3

Good. So stop posting as you officially stopped supporting Leeds with your last post.

hi ed do you think there is some truth in all of this takeover talk. what do u think. hope it is true cos then money will get spent. MOT {Ed013's Note - It is a made up rumour as the group from Canada has denied it on the social website with reference to a bird singing! The Sheikh one is someone clutching at straws due to him spending some time in England. If it was true I am sure it would all be hush hush until process was made. I feel that because we have only made one signing and apparently lost a target, people are generating rumours because they are bored. Time will tell and I mentioned last night that I don't think Mr Bates will sell until Leeds are in the Prem, but he is open to investment, so maybe that will happen. You never know, I may be wrong and if I am all transfers in and out will not happen until it is over}

Let move on from Ward, if he has gone to Palace..good luck, you wont win anything with them.

Time to find better left backs and right backs

Believable4 Unbelievable1

If we cant afford him at 400k what chance do we have

Agree1 Disagree0

Who says we cant afford the fee? Take your head out of your backside and dont believe all you read, last week Ward was of to Ipswich sources said now he's off to Palace. The media really know whats going on dont they.....NOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Gents all these rumours on takeover are pure speculation mixed with hope mixed with desperation. Anyone buying a football club could invest their money far more wisely and maximise their returns far far better. You have to be a bit of a nutter to buy a club these days because contrary to popular belief you lose far more than you earn except in exceptional circumstances when you own a brand as well as a football club! So the question is does anyone on here know of any wealthy nutters please come and rescue our team

Believable2 Unbelievable2

You don't buy a football club to make money; you buy it as a fashion accessory or status symbol as John NJeksi
stated a few years ago.

Re NW, just hope he stays loyal to us as we have been to him. I'm sure I speak for all Leeds fans that love the club, that his arrival has made us excited about the future; hasn't happened for years!

Neil, sure you can work your magic on Uncle
Ken; just think of that promotion feeling come May 2013!!

Agree3 Disagree0

26 May 2012 11:38:32
So if this takeover is true and it takes 6 weeks then what happens? Obviously Bates won't spend any money on te team and it will take a while for the new buyers to fun money into the team? Can anyone help?

Think you need a doctor and to stop drinking.

MLSE aren't the one's that are supposedly taking over, that was just another stupid twitter rumour. Rumoured to be happening over the need 6 weeks {Ed013's Note - Correct}

BATES: Its been quite obvious for some years that KB cant do anything with the club. I appreciate the stability and control of the debt which he has done but it cant continue. Dont want 10 years of stagnation when there may be interested parties who have good intentions and ambition. KEN...PLease step aside. We appreciate your efforts but your time is over

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Hi this is ken bates I've been reading this forum over the past week after concluding that 99.9% of you Leeds fans want me out. I'll pack my bags up first thing Monday morning and leave I'll leave the club to the supporters let you lot make a complete hash of the business

Agree2 Disagree2

Hi Kenny x

in baker tillys audited accounts for last year the limited company that runs the pavilion posted an operating loss of £196m, yet had reserves of the same amount. Mark my words Bates has just taken all the cash out of Leeds, and that means he is about to sell up. WHilst we all celebrate lets stop for a moment and think that close to £200m of cash that could have been spent on buying the ground and getting us promoted 2 seasons ago has just vanished.

Believable1 Unbelievable7

What a load of twaddle, you any idea what you are talking about!! o.w

Agree1 Disagree0

What total and utter sh@t. What are you on? I've just been into the auditors, like you do on a Saturday and then they told you everything. NOB!

Agree0 Disagree0

All the takeover stories are genuinely exciting if they are true. I know these are rumour and banter pages but is there an actual source behind these rumours ? I think to give us hope that someone might come in with sufficient money to offer a sensible transfer budget and sensible wage structure for a championship wanting to obtain promotion so we can go absolutely mental this time next year, is pretty sick if it just ain't true! So if you don't have a genuine source please please stop this torture. Phil Bramley
