Leeds Rumours Archive February 12 2013

listening to results on radio 5 live tonight, reporter said that gfh buyout had solved nothing leeds still a troubled club with no money, also said people where expecting positive moves in the transfer window and all that happened was a swop deal with leeds top scorer leaving, never can a takeover have fallen flat so quickly, its worse now because the takeover gave the fans hope after years under Bates, Bates is still at the club and still running the club, was there a takeover or not, nothing seems to have changed just same old same old, the clubs is stagnating at best strangled by lack of investment on the pitch leading to lack of quality and short term fixes, we are more likely to be relegated than promoted now and relegation could take this once mighty and feared club into to the abis

As a Leeds United fan for over 40 years it breaks my heart seeing what Bates has done to our great club. I for one have just about given up hope and fear for the worse. I subscribe to LUTV to keep up with the news and game highlites but will let my subscription lapse. I have never had a second favorite team in the UK been loyal to the Whites. My enthusiasm has been sapped and I am close to just giving up. One Leeds United fan in North Carolina.

Its time for the fans to strike even if yo love Leeds like I do, we need to totally abandon the terraces, vote with your feet people. Haigh, Patel and Warnock there's a bus leaving town and we want you on it. MOT

Until Bates is gone there will not be any real change, and anybody who thinks he deserves to be president after what he has done to our club is very deluded.

Take your money and leave Bates, you are no longer welcome or wanted here.

I agree entirely with the OP its a sad day when the club we all love descends into this shadow of a team.

Our club is being run by people with no interest in LUFC whatsoever, they are purely in this for their own gains, end of!

As much as it pains me to say it ( As a LUFC fan for 20+ years ), the only way to deal with these people is to hit them where it hurts - In the pocket!

They are people driven purely by money so, while ever there's 20,000 turnng up every week, they'll carry on as they are and nothing will change.

What would they do if the next 3 home games only 2,000 turned up, or less

Voicing your opinions at them verbally is like water of a ducks back to these people, so as hard as it is I know, the only way to make them get the message is STAY AWAY until something changes.

If you are going to keep turning up every week, then there's no point moaning about it on here.

This season is finished anyway now, another wasted year - So for the remaining home games, hit these people where it hurts -

In the pocket and STAY AWAY!

Stagnating too harsh a word. We have stability. We had good sense to get rid of Becchio and swap him pretty much like for like with someone who would sign a 3 year deal. No promotion but no relegation either. Acid test in summer. We need to spend 20 million in order to have a go. I say we need a new quality goalkeeper someone as good as Martyn or Robinson at peak of their powers, another quality center half, a creative midfielder (that will cost the big bucks), a fast winger who scores goals and 2 more strikers and we will be fine. Only 6 premiership class players are required. Only if we don't spend the 20 million will I be concerned.

20 million!! you must be joking. this lot have not spent 20 quid. Warnock has lost it (if he ever had it). he's signed Tonge on a 3 and half year deal and he can't get in the team, he signed Hall and clearly thinks he's not good enough, sold a striker that gets goals (thats a fact) and replaced him with a striker that can't get in the norwich team. I've watch, loved and supported Leeds United for over 40 years and never felt so disheartened. we will be lucky not to finish in the bottom 6 on current form, never mind the top 6.

Bates always said he wanted to finish us[leeds], looks like he's going to get his wish.

Bye bye Warnock, hello Adkins!

What about giving Simon Grayson his old job he is as much Leeds as any fan.

Atkins will not want this job

We are no longer a big club

We are the next Portsmouth

As much has I liked grayson I feel we need to move on from him adkins for me also!

It's irrelevant who the manager is, without investment on players we will never get promoted. Mr Adkins will not come to Leeds with the current financial situation. He's not stupid the team needs a complete overhaul. My prediction is Warnock will sign fir another year.

Anyone would be mad to join us, whilst GH (D)F (S) Sale and robbery is going on. They can't even get a takeover right, and end up with the former owner as chairman of the board after forking out £52million (?) for a team with no stadium and no training ground as assets, and diminishing assests in the form of attendances. When will someone learn, you cannot just make Leeds fans take, you've got to give.

Totally agree get him out now why we still have time for a massive final push

Stephen Ireland to sign next week as he has been told to train with the youth team and also Stephen Warnock has highly recommended him to the club.

We have not got any money to sign anyone never mind Stephen Ireland

Hope he comes
