Only leeds could let Casper Schmeicel leave on a free.

we didint we got 1.25 mill for him, don't gget me wrong we should of kept him or got a lot more but that was life under ken bates.

Just how much did we get for Tom Lees. Cellino did well with Kiss my badge but has bought loads of rubbish.

09 Feb 2016 21:42:47
What's the betting no sell on clause either.

09 Feb 2016 23:27:13
There is a sell on clause but it goes straight into bates account no doubt. Along with snoody's Howsen and Johnsons fees. How much would bates have made this season with Cook etc etc.

According to yorkshire post cellino said a while back that the trust he set up to run Leeds will not invest further funds untill the situation with the football league is resolved. Sort of explains why its a one out one in policy regarding transfers. Nothing to do with him being skint or being a bad ass. Worth 750 mill and skint at the same time survivor you make me laugh.

I agree big e
Too much gossip on here!
I think he has learnt lessons slowly but surely in eng football
I think he seriously underestimated the quality of the soccer and didn't realise u need quality to get out. He prob also didn't realise 3 mill could buy you dross. I don't expect anymore in and out till September. Why bother now when better be available then.

On that note guys, what's the situation with the FL? I wondered if perhaps they thought Cellino was damaging Leeds and therefore doing their job for them, so have decided that leave him alone. You can garuntee though that as soon as things start going well, they will reappear with another banning order.

That's just w theory I had, but does anyone no what the situation is?

That would back up why Evans changed his tune regarding spending money in the window. I think he will sell up to Parkin as soon as the ban is confirmed. Maybe that's why Harvey and the FL are taking so long to make their decision on the appeal, so it scares away Parkin and we're stuck looking for new owners.

They didn't faff about like this last time, the delay is very strange.

09 Feb 2016 18:50:01
Well by taking so long they have ensured we will still be in championship next season which is the FL yearly target.

Looking at Sheffield Wednesday. They acquired great squad in two transfer windows. I hope that they go up this season or next. They have better players on every position including their captain on defence who is one of us whom we get rid . Their promotion will be shocking for our fans and I hope that it will push rich Leeds fans to do something, buyout Cellino and the rest. And we will end impossibilism mentality which affects as for far too long.

09 Feb 2016 11:12:54
No chance of them going up!

09 Feb 2016 15:24:11
why would you want a rival team to go up. Surely you must want them to over spend over budget fail to go up then have to sale players cheap not be able to buy and get religated. bit like what happened to us. that is the smart leeds fans thoughts surely?

09 Feb 2016 15:58:47
Yeh can't understand any Leeds fan wanting the wendies up I personally thought we were the better team there bar the goals.

10 Feb 2016 07:00:27
I want them go to up to show us fans that even petty clubs like them can do that with ambitious owner. No more excuses to Cellino and other owners if they want Leeds they must be ambitious and fulfill our expectations. i'm tired of this crap.

10 Feb 2016 11:12:36
now come on lajt that is not being fair is it? it is not crap it is just where leeds are at the moment and where we should be. lots of teams go through this their whole history and I think leeds will be this crap for many a season to come due to past history. I think it is unfair to blame our current plight on MC considering what hand he has been dealt and how the club is run. we are where we are due to past owners more than the current one. not every team can be good, not every team can go up, some teams just make up the numbers in the legaue (lot of my local clubs fans have seen this their whole lives) we use to be good, we are not anymore and may never be good again. That doesn't make me want to see local rivals do well. all it should make fans do is realise we are not as big or good as these other clubs which have been run better since 1996. we are all gutted we are not doing better, we would all like promotion but as fans and adults we realise it is not on the cards at the moment and nothing anyone can do about that. so my view as a fan is to take it on the chin in good humour, stop moaning and support the team as best I know how. have a little club mentality it is far more fun and then you enjoy the little mercies like not getting religated, every win is like a cup final win and not getting spanked week in week out is a blessing. some leeds fans live in the past and think we have some devine right. Try thinking like a millwall or leyton orient fan it is far more suited to where this club is not where this club was.

I understand your point but can't agree with it. Look at SW since their relegation from PL they were moving between Championship and League One. Their best place in Ch was 9 in season 2006/ 2007 and it was only one time when they were in top 10 of Ch and add to this two relegations to L1. So they were poorer even than we. Look at them now after Chansiri takeover two different clubs. I feel anger, frustration and jealousy because how long we will wait for good ownership? Now even Sheffield Wednesday are better than we. I'm sick of this and will never accept 'small club mentality' which affects more and more fans who accept that we are poor and that it fits us. If we accept this nothing will change.

10 Feb 2016 14:02:36
i do see where you are coming from but don't think we as fans can do much to change it to be honest. also unlike sheff wed and the other clubs we nearly went out of business, outside of portmouth and blackpool no other club in the country was run as badly as us for so long. we are lucky to have any club so compared to our only to real rivals, blackpool and portsmouth we are doing well considering how bad it will be. leeds are a big club with good youth and good fan base so we will rise again and I do think this will be the worse period in our history but don't think changes can really happen over a season or two and do think we will be here for a good five or so seasons and think that is both realsitic and accpectable considering. I also think it is unfair that MC who is crazy but decent is getting stick for past chairmans crimes. MC is not the best but there are far worse out there. and our status being as good as it is is largly down to him. he is not the richest and not the best but a lot better than most will give credit for. While I agree we could be better I am just thankful that I don't have to support leyton orient or crystal palace (which would be my two options should Leeds fold) I do agree with your logic and your sentiment LAjt and think your post are far from silly but I do think it could and should be a lot worse than it currently is.
