And how would you know then, oh you dont.

I think Maynard would cost more than a million.I hope not but I think he may be a little out off our price range.I think if alf becomes avaleble from Reading we would be in for him.Or Lita maybe

You jealous Leeds fans need to calm down and support your team.Footballers AND managers move on thats the game.Norwich have been in position where other clubs poach their best players.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

I take it your a Norwich fan and haven't got a clue. The minute your manager went, you were all crying the tail, even though you nicked him from Colchester. I will give you 1 more season in the prem. Then you and half the old Leeds team, will be on your way past us. You are a small team and will always shop in the cheap shops. Atleast you have a half desent chef for the soup kitchen.
SUPER LEEDS!!

Agree3 Disagree0

We ain't jealous. But you are quite right in the fact that we will move on. Without synod grass, howson and Johnson. They all made a massive mistake joining Norwich . No one will remember them in 20 years time but they will remember the players that take leeds back to the premier. We will pass Norwich and leave them in our wake. So be careful what you spout about. Norwich is a little market town and will always be mediocre but we are leeds and by far a greater club than Norwich. So enjoy your little flurry in the prem but beware the giant about to tread on you

Agree2 Disagree1

Like who

Agree0 Disagree0

Whatever dude, Paul Lambert would rather manage a team with Emile Heskey on their books. The players that Norwich poached took us to mid table in championship. Good luck in PL anyway. Vinny. Mot.

Agree0 Disagree0

You mean players like Leon Mckenzie and Paul Mcveigh then. Paul Lambert was your best player mate. Dont worry tho Chris Hughtons a good lower league boss.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we be jealous of Norwich? I agree most Leeds fans wanted Howson and Snodgrass to stay but leaving Leeds to go to Norwich is a short sighted career move. Leeds are a much bigger club and we will probably pass you going down as we go up, in the next couple of seasons. DP

Agree1 Disagree0

Only you haven't took are best players, no you've just took are greedy ones ( money ), but don't worry they will drop you like a sack of spuds if your relageted.......kevlufc

Agree1 Disagree1

Jealousy has nothing to do with it mate! It's anger and annoyance that our best players have been sold over the years! U are obviously a Norwich fan, you have the majority of our midfield that got us promoted from league one! Surely you can see why we are annoyed if they are good enough to play in prem then if we had of tied them down to contracts then they would have got us promoted! Don't talk about us not supporting our team either! Over 2,000 fans went to torquay on a friday night for a friendly your team could only dream of support like ours

Agree1 Disagree0

We are a bigger club than you will ever be and will be perfectly calm as we take your place in the prem and you go back to the championship where you belong
martin mot

Agree2 Disagree0

And I'm sure you reacted just the same.

Norwich wont survive in the prem, leeds will tho and when we get there we'l buy prem quality players to keep us there.
You'v got a bunch of players that are championship at best ...good luck

Agree1 Disagree0

Youre a small club with awful deluded fans who think youre gonna be world beaters with Delia Smiths cookbook funds, ill give you 2 seasons tops, and when Grant Holt leaves to join Villa then your only goal threat is non-existent

Hi, note to Ed, as much as I enjoy a bit of banter, is not possible to avoid posting an infantile slagging match?
It is 2012, the world has revolved a few times since the dark ages, the "my dad is bigger than your dad" thing is getting old.
p.s. I have worked it out why I am banned from having my opinions posted,
they do not contain enough nonsense.

I'm a Leeds fan working in Peterborough, went to the Peterborough v Norwich game with a few of the lads from work today and one of them follows the Peterborough chairman on twitter, he posted a picture showing all the clubs that had sent scouts to the game, Leeds were on the list. Maybe watching George Boyd or Paul Taylor? The chairmans name is Darragh MacAnthony if you want to check the tweet. Boyd looked very average by the way but Taylor looks worth a shot, very quick and skillfull.

By a lot of peoples comments on this site we're definitely getting promoted this year seeing as now we've gotten rid of a lot of last seasons team and in the process of getting rid of more.

That team we had under the the far too much abused Grayson was lying one point from the playoffs with still the possibility of automatic promotion albeit a big ask. Warnock takes over and we finish a shocking 14th with the argument of to be fair it wasn't his team.

So surely now with a full pre season behind the squad HE has assembled plus the few months he was in charge for at the end of last season we're easily getting promoted this time around.

A lot of Leeds fans are going to be looking very foolish come the end of season and then the usual typical turn on Warnock when he has us playing brutal boring football languishing around mid-table just as a lot of us for some reason have turned on Snodgrass for no reason at all.

Personally I hope to God it's me looking foolish and I'll gladly apologize for my lack of faith in Warnock.

Grayson did us proud but there are different managers for different leagues. Grayson is the man you look to, to get out of league 1. Thats why only Hudds came calling. Warnock is the manager you turn to, to get out of the championship.
At the end of the season, we will see where these two managers finish and i know who my moneys on.
IN WARNOCK WE TRUST!!
mot4life

Agree2 Disagree2

Very negative post.
You sound like you d be really pleased if we didn't get promoted or do well this season.
I d rather be optimistic and look foolish than be a pessimistic know it all who celebrates bad news and always looks for the worst.
Personally, and I really hope that I speak for the majority of genuine fans, I ll be supporting the team that I love wether we win, lose or draw. If you re going to start having a go at the team at the first set back then I d rather people like you stay at home.
NW has impressed me with his honest straight talking attitude and also the obvious respect he has for the outstanding Leeds fans.
Each of us is entitled to our own opinions, that's fair enough. We ve seen a lot of teams over the years and various managers. I can honesstly say that this is the most positive I ve felt for a long time. Not only is this squad, in my opinion, taking shape into a very strong and experienced one, I think we re lucky enough to have a manager who will make sure the players will run through a brick wall for hin and also for us.
With 2 or 3 good signings I think we ll be challenging for the top 2. I risk looking foolish and I m quite happy for you to gloat if this is not the case.
In Warnock we trust.

Agree1 Disagree1

Seems to be a lot of Leeds fans related to gypsy rose lee, all with the power to see into the future. Why not accept the fact that things are looking a lot better than of yore. Must have spent more money this close season than all the Bates years put together, hopefully he will be gone soon, and Warnock seems to be doing the best that he can. Ok, Snoddy has gone, but let's be optimistic, the season hasnt started yet!

Afternoon,

I currently live in Rotherham and just been to see their new ground, must say its impressive, Rotherham took on hearts today and afte rumours I've heard about David templeton I must say I wasn't impressed, I know it's on a pre season friendly but he was nowhere to be seen in the match. So in my opinion I think their are better options like Boyd.

Just thought I'd share what I saw.
MOT!

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Maybe he is trying to keep fit in the hope of a move elsewhere

One bad game in pre-season doesnt make them a bad player

Everyone has a bad day .I've seen him on a good day and his class.

You can't judge a player on 1 game.

Although I think Quinn is a good player think we have enough central midfielders. We defs need a new right back and maybe one if not 2 strikers. I would also like to see a quality winger come in

Lufc

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I don't think you can have too many good players because to get promoted you can't just rely on the starting 11, you need squad depth. buy i agree with you that we need at least one striker and that winger in my opinion should be templeton

Hi, Ed, what is this nonsense? I looked long and hard, did not spot the Leeds rumour. Are you on a percentage?

Read in the Daily Mail today that apparently we're close to signing Stephen Quinn from Sheffield Utd for 500000 pounds. Wouldn't be too bad a signing, he got most assists last year, although that was in League One.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

28 Jul 2012 15:22:49
The Stephen Quinn rumours surely cannot be true, just ex rumours collocated with NW shef utd connections, if we were to sign another central mid I would hope for a bit more quality tbh. We already have Green and Norris, who are better in that position, and Pugh as back up- Green and Austin in behind could fit in also :/

Snoddy didnt want to be here,so to get what we did for him is good buisiness,nor did Howson,nice bit of sarcasm though.

hope leeds get norwich in one of the cups next season just to show snodgrass and them other two [forgot there names already] just how we feel about him me for one think he is a w-nker [kez1919]

Believable3 Unbelievable7

Whereas the grown ups amongst just accept that players move on from time to time to further their career and yes, earn more money, just like people in all other walks of life do. No doubt this will attract plenty of 'disagrees', not from anyone with any real perspective on life though...

Agree6 Disagree1

Snodgrass was great for us, if Bates had flashed a bit of the cash the club generated maybe we'd have kept him and the others we let go. I'd like to thank Snoddy for everything he did for the club and wish him good luck but I'd love to beat Norwich in the cup!

Agree4 Disagree1

Quit all the BS about grown ups, why shouldnt we expect a little loyalty ffs? We pluck players from nowhere who jump at the first offer. IMO we have every right to say what we want about them, I paid for my season ticket with two weeks wages. Pittance to what Snoddy was on, but no that wasnt good enough. Nor was the captaincy. Should of left him at Livingston! MOT. VINNY.

Agree2 Disagree1

Two weeks wages for a season ticket aint bad going either pal i must say

I bust my balls for it tho mate. Dont work Saturdays tho so jobs a gud en. Vinny.

Anyone else reading into the fact that we are no longer saying "undisclosed fee" in regards to transfers in or out of Elland Road? Just seems that something has to have changed as in all of Bates' tenure we never get told officially how much we're spending.

Club need to show their ambition and offer Ross an improved contract. He is a class act and this level and we will not be able to recruit a proven goal scorer with funds available. Warnock is going to have to earn his money to get an entirely new team performing from the off as we cant afford to lose any ground on other top clubs why the new players bed in.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Absolute cr*p.
Every single team bar none will be bedding in their players.
We will be no different than any others.
JB

Agree2 Disagree1

Put yourself in Ross McCormacks shoes right now. You weren't offered the contract you intially wanted then another player is sold and you are, would you sign under those circumstances? Talk about second choice or a desperation move. As for money offered in contracts equalling ambition, that is the type of player slagged off on this site on a daily basis. Wheres the ambition of selling the best young players, or promising players and replacing them with old players? Wheres the ambition in signing up a 34 year old striker whose only other option was league 2 Bradford? Wheres the ambition in having a manager on a one year contract and the players he has signed, non of which are premiership standard should we gain promotion, are on 3 year deals? Wheres the ambition of a one year plan for promotion with no thought of sustainability in the league above beyond that? If McCormack knows something I don't, which is entirely possible, and believes there is ambition in this club beyond him being the second choice for the big contract offered to Snoddy, then sign. If it is just a case of weekly salary then he is no better than any person who thinks with their wallet.

Agree3 Disagree3

Why are you so negative? it is great to see new players coming in and players who could get us back to the Premiership. Should we get there Warnock or whoever takes over will strengthen as necessary then, you can't build a Premiership team in the Championship. As for ross he ain't that good, if he thinks he can do better then let him go.

Agree2 Disagree1

Bloody hell .... I was in a good mood before I read that ........ thanks!!!);

Agree1 Disagree0

I'm negative because negatives are there, non of what I posted is made up, it's all happened! Whenever people come and here and post champions 2012/13 or we're going up no ones says why are you so positive? I believe as a club we have gone backwards from where we were at the start of the 2010/11 season.
You can build a prem team in the Championship, Norwich, Swansea added very few new faces last year and the ones they did were from this league and they both stayed up without changing their style in any way. QPR had to sign about 8 players then still only just survived by changing managers and spending big in Jan. If you believe that short term, get to the prem then worry about it later is the answer, then why are the players getting 2-3 year contracts? Who is going to manage us next year, knowing they will have to sign a complete new side again, competing for players with established premier league clubs? Warnock has no loyalty to us, he's here for his own ego to try to get one more promotion before he retires to edge himself in front of Harry Bassett. If he fails, no big deal only got a year contract anyway, someone else can come in and sort out his mess. Unless these icing on the cake signings are something really special, although I do have a feeling my defination and Warnocks slightly different (and yes warncok has all the experience take his word over mine blah blah blah), we will struggle to make the top 6. Bolton, Blackpool, Birmingham and Cardiff to me are favourites, our squad and style of play pales in comparison to these 4.

Agree0 Disagree1

No of course I wouldn't want guarenteed income of £8000.00 a week ..he,s possibly being greedy big fish in a small pond and by the way of course i would sign.Sharky lufc

Agree0 Disagree0

Let Warnock have his ego boost if thats really what you think because we would be in the pl...who cares not i stop being so negative most leeds fans wanted change and imo changes that have been made are for the better.sharky lufc

Agree0 Disagree0

God you spout some BS ,positivity from fans generates to the players, and the same with negativity,you're obviously not a leeds fan so take your drivel and stick it where the sun dont shine.any true leeds fan will back warnock and the team he puts out, we dont need persons like you

Why do people keep posting rumours about Beckford being a possible target. Has anyone at the club ever mentioned it, or is it wishful thinking ?
Why would he take a £20k a week paycut to come back to Leeds, he earns a packet at Leicester.
Would be good to see him back, but not going to happen until his current contract expires !,
Rob MOT

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I think it stems from his love for the club and his up and down relationship with the Leicester manager. I guess it is up to Warnock and the new owners whether we go back for him.

Hi ed, just wondering what you think.
A couple of days ago warnock was saying he wants to try and keep snoddy and make 2-3 marquee signings.

We've now lost snoddy and the number of players he's saying he wants is 1-2.

I hate all these mixed messages.

I think the players we've brought in ate going do a really good job for us. Everyone is slagging the ex pompeys off because they got relegated. But seriously warnock knows how to get out of this league. Tbh it's not all that hard to figure out. You need a good group of experienced players who will give their all. And then a couple of touches of class and flair.

I think he's done the first bit right, just the touch of class I'm looking for now.

Warnock said he like the look of boyd and beckford and was looking for players like those.

Now the only way we could afford beckfords wages now is the takeover is announced now that we have the bulk of our team. And they come up with the extra for the class we need.

I'd love to see George Boyd in a Leeds kit next season. Do you think this could happen.

I think we might get him, warnock wouldn't of just come out with his name if he wasn't after him.

Next and final 3 signings will be, peltier, boyd, beckford or someone in the same shape.

Anymore after that will be a welcome suprise.

I would be happy with that team, starting to get excited about this season now.

MOT
Whiterose1919 {Ed013's Note - Maybe he says 1-2 due to maybe agreeing the 3rd to sign. Boyd would be a good signing.}
