Not a rumour but a suggestion.
Personally dont believe wholesale changes like a lot are calling for is needed.Last season we ;lacked a leader who could organise the team on the field if Paddy is in there believe he will do that so i would give him the armband and let Johnny get on with playing.With Clayton and Nunez pushing they are like 2 new signings anyway then there is the youth who are starting to push themselves in the frame.Lets get behind SG and the boys and we will be up there come end of season.

Whilst I agree that Nunez and clayton are like new signings, consider this: Bradley at least had a bit of presence physically. Kilkeny had the orginisation and abity to pick out a pass. Do clayton and howson have both of these things? No. Yes clayton apparently can pass well, bu neither have strength. We need a rock in mf otherwise our defence will be exposed like last year, I hope SG has a solid mf lined up, otherwise we will concede heavily. Just my opinion but we need a balanced mf MOT just those with flair.

Maybe Grayson is looking at the Barcelona "skill over power" model... we can dream...

2 weeks ago I went into the club shop and they told me the shirt would be out within 6 weeks and it was delayed because of sponsor problems. (I know its not a rumour but people wanted to no)

Getting fed up of looking at the Leeds website to find that the only news is fairly trivial - Theres only 10 days before the Pre-Season programme starts and were still no closer to improving the squad.
Grayson's had loads of time - look at other managers they've signed tons of quality players.
I'd Like to see atleast 2 signings by wednesday to make me feel better

All this talk of take overs is a little premature.
What do LUFC have to sell asset wise. It doesn't own either the stadium or Thorpe Arch. We do not have a massive revenue stream from being in the premier league.
The fan base, history and potential of being the largest city in the UK with only one professional club ( Farsley Celtic R.I.P) is about it.
If you tried to borrow against that at this moment you'd be laughed out of the bank. That's why Bates is trying to raise a mortgage from Leeds City Council to buy the stadium back.
What we need is a Leeds fanatic with more money than sense, hopefully billions. Trouble is most folk with that sort of brass didn't get it following their heart.

I've been to the Newcastle university open day today and was in the starbucks on Northumberland Street and Alan Smith walked in. I asked him if he was going to sign for Leeds and he said that he wouldn't as we aren't prepared to pay him enough. I got a picture with him though so how do I post that?
{Ed010's Note -the tab below where you would post "banter" is named "Leeds sightings". That is the place to post your photos. Regards Ed10
