Believable8
Unbelievable28
Im ashamed of some of the Leeds fans on this site. Money money money. No wonder Bates doesnt waste his money on you. Hes done more for Leeds and has more integrity than all the whingers on here.
Fawksey (LoveLeedsHateLust)
Agree1
Disagree3
Totally agree Fawksey. People talk as though Bates hasn't ever given managers cash for the team. He gave Blackwell a rubbish load of money when he wasn't really in a position do so. To be fair, he gave Grayson plenty - he just spent like a tosser. The McShefferry & Doyle loans from Coventry cost us almost £2m after we got promotion. Grayson made bad choices at the end of the day. The likes of O'Brien, Varynen, Forsell, and many more would have all been on top money and wouldn't have come cheap. Grayson went for quantity rather than quality. He managed his budget badly. He brought in a lot of players os the same level of ability instead of bringing in 1 or 2 of top quality and backing the squad up with good youngsters at the club. Grayson got it totally wrong. You can't blame Bates for how Grayson spent the money. Bates let's his managers manage the club. He gives them a budget and it's up to them how to spend it. Grayson made awful decisions in the transfer market. FACT.

Don't think we will be lucky to stay up . i still think we will be in the top 6 come jan transfer window ,if we dont spend then we will be lucky to end up in top half

Talk about been negative!! We have a good team have fantastic fans and a great manager whoever we play well be hard to beat
Agree1

Been a Leeds fan for 40 years, and today was an oppertunity for them to strengthen the squad. But the lure the club used to have is gone, and NW has a mighty job to get us up. So then the question begs, what of next year if Bates is still around? Fan base starting to argue with eachother, reputation of having no money, wow, what happened?
But this squad is different, built from the back 4 up, and the days of Leed letting 4 or more goals in are gone! I say we finish 5th or 6th.
Agree1
Disagree1
Haha Leeds signed there main transfer target andy Gray lol what happened to it def being sharpe or Maynard? I've said all along Leeds have signed some good players but not enough to challenge for a top 6place mid table at best

I would take mid table now. Lets face it there will be no takeover.
Agree1
Disagree0
Just face it Leeds are no longer a big team there a mid table championship team and that's why players rather go to other teams in the league teams with real chances of going up
Agree0
Disagree0
We have strengthened the team loads this summer. It's only because we haven't had all the media hype that you people crave so much. Relax and support the team, and when we go up without pissing all the cash down the drain like Leicester or Forest we'll be laughing.

Boothroyd to wednesday on loan? Where were we with a bid. Ideal loan signing. We cant be that skint? Come on bates surely you must see a stronger squad gives u a better price for sale. Nb88
Believable12
Unbelievable7
We didn't bid, we were never going to bid, not for him, not for ANYONE TODAY, PERIOD. NW said there would be no one coming in and he wasn't lying. The cash box is empty, no money for transfers, no money for loans, not even a few quid to keep diouf, one out/one in if we are lucky.
Season ticket money covers debt, gate receipts covers the rest (maybe?)
Time to realise bates doesn't care, so long as the club stays out of administration he cant fail to make a profit and thats what it means to him, profit, pure and simple.
If NW could freely say what promises he was made and have been broken I am sure we would know the truth but it would cost him his job and I am sure he has more pride than to vent his spleen, it will all come out eventually once KB has knobbed off.
Long hard season ahead but its been that way for the last 10 years

RUN OUT OF STEAM: Boothroyd to Weds, Maynard to Cardiff. No sign of final quality that NW assured would end up in place for season. I think KB games have shafted NW attempts at putting final touches together. He's been let down at a time when he's most needed support and strong negotiations backed with a little finance. If I were from Bahrain I would pull the plug and let the bugger suffer whilst tactfully and discreetly releasing info about KB contract negotiations to the masses. Oh well.... the real support starts Saturday MoT
Believable14
Unbelievable2
I agree totally with this post. However I will not put a penny in KBs retirement fund anymore. I will always support the mighty whites but while KB is in charge I cannot bring myself to attend anymore. I may get slagged off for this but I was a regular attender when we were in League one, I have been to all the play offs and attended when regularly except when on tour but enough is enough KB f off and stop ruining our club

Looks like the boycott bates bandwagon is beginning to roll! About time too, bates is a out and out liar, impossible to do business with a man like that. I suspect the consortium( if they exist) are finding this out all too well. The ONLY way to force bates out IS TO BOYCOTT ER. Its all he understands, LLHB
Agree1
Disagree1
I think that after the Blackburn game the attendances are going to drop off big time if he hasnt gone. However if we should win I think theres a chance that fans will keep it rolling until theres a down turn in results. Cant and wont blame NW.
Agree0
Disagree0
"The ONLY way to force bates out IS TO BOYCOTT ER". That's a great idea. Then we can see the club go into administration, have a 10 point deduction and possibly get relegated to League 1. You absolute muppet.

Yet another rumoured target Jay Bothroyd going on loan to Sheffield Wednesday of all places. I know the squad is thin on the ground but i think we only need 2 decent loan signings, a fast + tricky winger maybe jesse lingard from the possibly? And another decent defender which i thought martin cranie could have been as back up.

Warnock just said on yorkshire radio no signings today. AHD not yet signed due to poor wages offered. No offers for our 3 transfer listed players. Loan only once we ser who is available. Keeps refering to the chairman. I get the impression Bates not leaving any time soon. Its a bit doom and gloom. I feel.we are better than last season. Warnock will have to play the youngsters no other choice. At least the want to play for leeds.
Max 2 loan signings one of which will be a striker. Its a big ask but if Somma gets fit he could have a massive effect on the squad. Impact player 70- 75 mins on hope to see that.

I really hope we can bring in a couple of new faces but it's not looking likely at the moment :-( If Beckford is available on loan like Shy Sports reported this morning then we should definitely hijack his move to Huddersfield (if we can agree the percentage of his wages we would pay).
Unlikely, but never say never when it comes to LUFC!

No players to be signed today unless we can find a few bob for diouf, more worrying for me is if there is no money to pay loanees wages either then despite the great start the lads have made the squad is too thin to cope with injuries and suspensions. The T/O will drag on for as long as we remain in the mix for promotion so providing potential buyers remain interested dont expect this to happen until there is no chance of auto or play offs.
No sources just my opinion

If you watch the NW interview he clearly states where we stand with new players. We wont sign anyone as we have no funds. Diouf has been offered a 5k contract, but has better offers abroad. From reports he wants 2yrs which is understandable at his age, I say just give it him we need need the options wide and forward. NW also wants to bring in another forward this will either be on loan of free agent but will wait to see who is availble once PL teams have named thier squads. If we can off load the listed players will free up as much funds as we can to get the best striker available. If the takeover happends its a bonus but we just need to get behind the team. I'm makeing the trip up north to cheer on the lads this weekend its gonna be tough but lets hope we can put in a good shift and grind out the 3 points! MOT

I am not sure of the exact figure but promotion to the premier league and all the extra revenue must run into a tidy old sum. Surely the prospective investors/owners must see that the players that could help us achieve promotion are being snapped up by our rivals. Wouldn't italy business ssense to pay bates off even if it's a bit over the top of his valuation and not miss this opportunity, speculate to accumulate. There is another west yorks club nearby with a very wealthy owner and an 8 mil cash injection, enjoy knows what they could achieve with the momentum of their promotion just look at Norwich and Southampton. We need to act now this league will only get tougher to get out of with parachute payments and FFP rules. Investors your time is Now - don't miss the boat or we could be left in this league for a long time

Grow up mateeeee do you think they would just stick around for a whole season then do one when we DO nothingg. waste a year of there lifes. it will happen sooner or laterr bates is 80 for christ sakess be positiveeee you moron

I think yesterdays deadline deals tells the whole story. Rivals have got every player we have been linked with throughout the summer, had the investment takeover gone through do you think this would have happened. Just call people names of you don't like hearing others opinions who needs to grow up?

If Beckford truly wants to return to The Mighty Whites at some point, I don't think he would go to Huddersfield, he knows the rivalry between the two clubs.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hello what rivalry have we got with under? They hate us we dont give them a second thought. there just a club in dewsbury imo.
COME ON LEEDS LETS GET BEHIND LADS THEN SIT IN PROTEST AFTER GAME
Agree0
Disagree0
Who says he could make it again at Elland Rd , seeing as he hasn't exactly set Leicester alight. I watched him be a lazy fecker game in , game out and Leeds fans calling for his head - suddenly he's this great saviour we need . Get a grip , we wanted him to stay he wanted the wages & left, END OF !
Agree0
Disagree0
Why do we want him back he has done nothing since leaving and becchio and mccormack have become better strikers since he left and have a great partnership. If he comes back I would expect him to be on the bench and his doing just that at the foxes
Agree0
Disagree0
We never wanted beckford so obviously u know nothing about our transfers. hes greedy n he showed at the foxes he is a league 1 player at best now will ppl just get a grip n stop living in the past, mccormack, somma, becchio are all far better than beckford will ever be
Agree0
Disagree0
Remember him ducking out ot a few challwnges and been booed off.
Thinks he's Je-main-man.
I'd rather have a team.
Agree0

Shame on you leeds fans on here for slating a past player, with regards to ppl saying hes done nothing since leaving clearly you didint see him playing in the prem lol regardless of the transfer situation its shocking to read some of the comments tut tut

Huddersfield to loan Beckford and sign Hamill according SSN. I know they got £8mill for Rhodes, but it just shows what happens when you have a Chairman who actuall invests in the squad rather than a silly old person who's lost the plot.

Might finally get to see how good grayson really is and how much of a tw*t bates was for letting him go

If you think Bates is a silly old person who's lost the plot then you are very wrong.......
.... or do you have more money than he does? Or are you milking Leeds dry, and we're all thinking it's Batesy?

How is being shown up by a team who have just received £8m. Id love to see beckford at Leeds but if we can only pay a small part of his wages n hudds. An pay a huge part with their ££ is it any wonder where hell go?

He's on an apparent £25-35k a week!

Leeds to sign 3 players tomorrow in a frantic day at Elland Road.
2 are free agents and a deal is close already for them. Those 2 are Buazacky and Reo-Coker.
The third player is Matt Ritchie a deal is close to sign the winger.
These deals will be funded by Danny Pugh, Rachubka and Nunez all leaving the club to free up wages for these signings.
Believable6
Unbelievable32
Just cant see it happening, both Nunez and Rubber Gloves refusing to go quietly, particular Rubber Gloves, Nunez hopefully will sign for Bradford City today and to be fair no one wants Rubber Gloves, Danny Pugh expected to join Doncaster on Loan.
NW will wait and use money to loan a couple of Prem Players after they have done their 25 man squads today.
