I know its late in the season. I want to start a campaign against the ridiculous colours of away kits over the last couple of seasons. The current one
'Beige' and last season Black? . When were these colours even relevant to Leeds. C'mon people, let demand Yellow, blue, proper Leeds colours. let's stop suffering the marketeers stupid ideas.
Tewy

We will not play in purple. We won't have a number 17 in the squad. Cellinio is very superstitious and hates both of the above.

Quite agree the plain white for home theplain yellow for away with the smiley badge

Totally agree. All white, blue & yellow are Leeds kits and let's get a new badge. Ours is awful at mo - back to yorkshire rose or smiley type! PA

Its the start of a new era hopefully, so let's go back to the badge at the start of the last one. a Leeds Owl

Change badge to Yorkshire rose and have white blue and yellow kits

Love to see us keep badge as is but all white with blue trim at home and all yellow with blue trim away and sock tags again and come to centre circle before kick off and salute us as they did in the great revie days ahhh memories!! nickybee

I was a fan of the puma logo down the sleeves and a good collar not a fan of the collarless shirts

Wanting to get a request through to Mr Cellino - Survivor / Geoff let's see if you can pass this on to the powers that be - a good test for you. Its a genuine piece of business for a midfield maestro for next season . he is 34 but just 'LOVE' to see him at Leeds for one season then a No 2 coaching role - can we get this going please as a request petition to the new Owner please ; so he can see it and go for it . Transfer deal offer to Mr Andrea Pirlo

Can you also suggest;

Lahm
Cassilas (Sp?)
Walcott
Suarez
Messi
Iniesta
Aguero

All have potential

07 Mar 2014 22:20:16
may I remind you all that when don revie took charge it took him 2 seasons to make leeds the first year they fought relegation

Dont really think Aguero is Championship material. Negredo please.

Yeah but that was a different time and we were different as fans.

We want success now,
we want quality signings now,
we want tasty tippy tappy football (but not at the cost of wins),
we want cheaper tickets,
we want the stadium to fill out,
we want, we want we want. and all now.

We have no patience now and we are not willing to give guys a chance., whether they be managers, players or owners.

DS

How long do you want to be outside the premiership? I want it next season how long should we be patient. The time is now not the next time or the time after?

Those more ITK may criticise this comment however BMcD has indicated that he has failed to capture his loan target this week. I would have thought it was more prudent to identify and go for a number of targets, it opens up the choice if your are successful. It may be argued that there are few players available however in this high tech society we appear to be using carrier pigeons to make enquiries about the availability of players. Yes, we may have to get agreement with the club, the agent, the player etc. but does this have to take over a week to achieve (and more often than not fail to achieve)? Is part of Brian's issue is his unwavering loyality to a number of players who have not been delivering the performances, which means that he is not busting a gut to bring in additional personnel?

07 Mar 2014 17:12:56
That may be the case but ultimately it will cost him his job in the end.

07 Mar 2014 18:17:42
i think we have a good enough squad now to push for playoffs so any new players come in its a bonus . it takes time because the players bmd is after are not listed for loan and also he wants players that we can sign on a long term deal in summer .

I understand why he wants players with a view to permanent but if there's a player out there available for loan like ramsey was or like zaha with no move available then surely its better to get them than stewart?

07 Mar 2014 10:37:19
To change the mood and for a bit of fun, which players in the past have you been excited about when they signed but turned out to be disappointing?

For me, I can think of:

Alex Sabella
Alan Curtis
John Hendrie
Tomas Brolin

Any others guys?

Roque Junior :-)

Jimmy kebe and stewert?

Tomas Brolin

Fowler .

Seth johnson

Ian rush

Carlton palmer

Federico bessone

Raul bravo,

Peter Barnes. remember him?

07 Mar 2014 12:41:52
Derek parlane

Seb carole, jason crowe, tore andre flo, mikael forsell, mike grella, julian joachim, noel hunt, tresor kandol, rui marques, phil massinga, ian moore, steve morrison, kevin nicholls, billy painter, paul rachubka, micheal ricketts, roch juniour, enoch showumni,

Didier domi, derek lilley,

Hendrie did fairly well but was injury prone

Chris Kamara

Oh yes, Peter Barnes, how could we forget? £930,000 down the drain.
And did anybody ever buy "the Peter Barnes football trainer"? Basically a football on a piece of string!

My team from the 80s to present day, lukic, molenarr, radebe, gary kelly, ian harte, batty, speed, bowyer, milner, yeboah, hasslebaink, and 5 subs, rod wallace, lee chapman, gary mcallister, woodgate and dorigo

I put the 18 players above lol, plus the johnson, rush, palmer, bessone, and bravo

07 Mar 2014 13:20:26
Cant believe someone was excited about signing Noel hunt

Duncan McKenzie

07 Mar 2014 13:30:27
Surely kammy was worth every penny after crossing for chappys goal at Bournemouth?

07 Mar 2014 13:36:03
David Norris jimmy kebe Luke murphy

On the Peter Banes theme, we also Arthur Graham and Carl Harris at the time ( Allan Clarke what on earth were you thinking 3 wingers no striker )

Billy paynter

Sabella was good - did you see him play? - it was the style of play and the opposition fouls that stopped his progress in UK leagues. skillful Players were not as protected then by Referees and Laws of new game. Barnes was a let down - and agreed, Arthur Graham was Class

Sabella was good, though I feel his biggest failing was his 2 speeds, slow and stop. And yes I did see him play, was it around 79, 80, signed from Sheffield United I think. Did we ever get paid for him as went back to Argentina around Falklands War Time

Ian rush

Although we didn't sign him, I got very excited over the rumour of Thomas Scuravy (spelling?) and we had a look at V Nistleroy I think.
Biggest disappointment for me was Fowler,,, a few years too late

Has to be Brolin. World class 12 months earlier but turned into a total joke.

Sabella ( now Messis Coach of course ) left before Falklands broke out - he went to river plate I think - may be wrong? Andrea Pirlo has ''stop and start'' buttons too = its called look up and pass = and that's all I really want from a playmaker - love a sabella type in this current huff and puff Leeds team - players that can make it look slow and simple but its not . its Zen - Hoddle, Brady, Cowans even! Andrea Pirlo in a Leeds shirt - yeah come on Massimo you know you want to:! MOT etc

Roque Junior: World cup winner: Worst Leeds player ever.

Sabella signed for estudiantes in early 82 just before the Falklands invasion

Lee sharpe

Nick barnby, absolute crap!

07 Mar 2014 21:41:38
Biggest disappointment without a shadow was Lee Sharpe. Closely followed by huckerby. 1st game in 93 so my all time xi is Martyn Kelly Dorigo Batty Radebe Woody Speed McAllister Strachan Hasslebaink Yeboah. Really hard not to put bowyer in that team.

Brolin seemed a real statement at the time. Unfortunately the statement turned out to be 'we are persons'.

07 Mar 2014 08:15:42
More twists and turns than a game of Super Massimo Carts, but it would appear MC is an expert with the controls, plenty of practice one could argue and an astute awareness of the rules.

According to his lawyer looks like we will be sailing into calmer waters sooner rather than later. Maybe a little early but time to set out the deck chairs, put on the shades and set sail for the premiership.

Marciare Su Insieme (MOT)

An increasingly hopeful Cornish White

He wudnt be fighting the case if he thought it would cause a problem with the takeover

He would just pay the tax bill which won't be that much to his millions

07 Mar 2014 07:16:39
According to Cellino lawyer he expects him to be cleared of tax evasion he explained as he was an employee of an Americain company which owned the yacht and he was entilted to keep the yacht in Italian waters for up to 18 months under EU legislation and not required to pay tax.
