Before you all jump down my throat, this is a rumour I've heard. Ryo Myaichi who was on loan at Bolton from Arsenal is set to join Leeds, not sure if a loan or perm.

Would be an excellent loan or purchase. Highly rated winger and ready to breakthrough.

From what I have read today and seen on various sites is that Kevin Doyle is on his way to Leeds or Celtic and that Luke Murphy has to choose between Blackburn, Leeds and Wolves.
Also floating around is Grant Holt from Norwich, Noel and Stephen Hunt, Matt Mills on Loan from Bolton and Reece Wabara.
Personally I really hope Kevin Doyle, Luke Murphy and Matt Mills join as well as a winger. Maybe recruit Wabara and N. Hunt as backups.

1st July is the data IIB ( Bahrain) will buy out GFHC 100%- however there is a secondary local ( Yorkshire based) investor, who has agreed to supply a modest amount of money, to push forward immediate transfers.
There will be key changes at the club. Naturally Ken Bates tenure comes to an end on 1st July. Ken is set to be replaced by an Arabian individual. It has been agreed that Mr Shaun Harvey will leave the club along with Mr G Williams.
A business ( corporate ) restructure is also taking place, with one of the conference buildings to be sold on to a private firm- again this has been identified as a loss making wing of the club.
It is also rumoured, but not confirmed that P Dews, the press officer, will be replaced by Mr Paul Grimley of NLH.

You don't know how much I hope all of this is true and as a season ticket holder I think I deserve to see some good football for once which these new owners may provide

Looking at IIB financial statement on their website for the end of 2012 the don't seem to be much better off than GFH so unless they're in with someone like Nigel Pearson and his consortium then can't see it happening as much as we'd all like it too

Salah Nooruddin has replaced Uncle Ken, and David Haigh has replaced Shaun Harvey as managing director, but Shaun will stay on as a Director to offer adice, but his previous role in the running of the club is now Haigh's

Latest rumours doing the rounds:-
Stephen & Noel Hunt moving to Leeds United.
Simon Church agreed a cut in his wages to make a move to Elland Road for regular football.
Darren Ambrose in talks with Leeds United.
Leeds put in a £1million bid for Murphy of Crewe, also tabled that amount for Vaughan of Norwich (on loan to Huddersfield last season!)
Leeds trying to loan Matt Mills or Matthew Upson (Stoke), Matty Fryatt (Hull), Grant Holt (Norwich) & Reece Wabara (Celtic)

Too many strikers.

I sincerely hope the investment rumour is true, all Leeds fans deserve some good news at last, in response to the list of players most of them are forwards, we already have McCormack and Smith I think we need possibly two more but the two Hunts, Holt, Ambrose, Vaughan Fryatt and Church that's nearly a whole team of forwards, clearly we would not be after all of those and to be honest would perhaps only want Holt and perhaps Noel Hunt to join.

Comedy gold.

How, WE HAVE NO MONEY, read the papers!

Problems are we have no or very little money. One 1 million pound bid might be put in but not two! Secondly upson is a free agent therefore no loan deal and wabara is from man city not Celtic!
Therefore this is the most ridiculous most to date

Wabara is man city not Celtic.
Epic fail!

You can tell you've made up most of this when you get the player's team wrong. Wabara plays for Man City.

on 29 June a meeting was held at an undisclosed location to finalise the implementation of a new chairman at Leeds United.
It is unknown who the new chairperson will be, however what is known is the following:
A group believed to be from the Heselden Family have injected significant investment in to the club, which will enable BMcD to secure a number of his top transfer targets.
The Heseldens own Hesco Bastion, the firm which designed the blast wall basket system.

If that is true, I'm very happy because they make around £30 Million a year (http://www.worksmart. org. uk/company/company.php?id=02600319 )
So that should give Leeds United some spending power. Clearly not the £30 Million but maybe around 5-8 million

These will be our 4 signings (plus Matt Smith) this summer. I'm quite happy with these but still missing the wide men we need. Brian will utilise Ryan Hall further on the wing now to compensate for this shortcoming.
Noel Hunt - all but confirmed next week
Luke Murphy - bid will be accepted but he's got to make a decision between leeds, blackburn and wolves
Matt Mills - season long loan
Reece Wabara - season loan

Leeds United have made a '7 figure bid', which is believed to £1m, For Crewe Alexandra midfielder Luke Murphy. Crewe have accepted £1m bids from Leeds, Blackburn and Wolves now so it is going to go down to personal terms and the players choice of team.
Also there is rumours going round that we might fancy Grant Holt on loan/Permanent, Holt who is a Leeds fan has before said that he would love to play for Leeds at some point in his career.
Finally, Leeds have rejected a £2.4m bid from Qpr for Ross McCormack, Another bid is expected tomorrow (Monday)

I think any player who chooses Blackburn or wolves over the mighty Leeds isonly chasing the dough so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. grant holt doesn't support Leeds, his father does. I don't see ross leaving either.

Complete rubbish, much better players out there for 1 mill than murphy and grant holt ain't a leeds fan and has never said such a thing and 2.4 mil for mccormack no chance will take atleast 4 mill {Ed001's Note - seriously you are deluded if you think there are better out there for 1m than Luke Murphy! The lad is class and easily good enough to play in the Prem. You clearly have either never seen him play or have no idea about the game of football.}
Agree1

Yes I soppose you are allowed to dream, what the hell makes you think you will be getting Grant Holt Loan or otherwise,? As a Norwich fan I'm Interested to find out where you get this drivell from.
Agree0

Well said Ed compered to Brown Norris Pearce and Tonge he is class just the kind of player we need. MOT {Ed001's Note - he is class anyway, he has suffered some injury problems, which stopped him getting a move to Villa and saw them take Westwood instead. Throughout his career he has stood out as a very classy ball player, and has continually attracted interest from other Prem teams. It is only because he is playing in the lower leagues that no one has taken a chance on him. If you get him, you will love him, he is a quality footballer and he has a good work ethic. Nice lad too.}

Holt, s no leeds fan his father were, hence the reason one of holts shinpads as the leeds badge on it, its his way of remembering his father.

As a Leeds fan I'm also interested where all this drivel comes from.

I would be absolutely delighted if we could pull off the signing of Luke Murphy. goes to prove just how good a judge of a footballer BMcD is.
Grant Holt. no thank you, even if he is /was a Leeds fan.
Ross McCormack is staying. unless BMcD says otherwise.
