Article from Fulham Chronicle;LEEDS United's plans to take Shaun Derry on loan have been scuppered after the midfielder was included in QPR's 25-man squad.

The Chronicle understands former boss Neil Warnock was keen to bring the 34-year-old back to Yorkshire for a second spell at Elland Road.

Thank god for that

This i feel this is true but i really hope he doesnt come back as i felt he was awful and too slow last time he was playing for us,there must be better loan signings out there who could do a far better job for us,i would like to see younger players from the bigger clubs being taken on loan,markymafia

He was one of our better players when he was here last time so when people slate him i have to question their ignorance when it comes to football. It seems like some football fans think if you dont score goals and create a massive threat when you go forward you are a bad player. He was more of a defensive cm but he was a quality one and if he is that bad how come he was a massive part and one of the first names on the team sheet in QPR's promotion winning campaign?

Bates is sick of planned meetings being leaked through the Press and LUST, and has cancelled proposed meeting on thursday, maybe next week.

I suppose bates wanting you to know so bad he tracked you down and had to tell you personally so you could let us all know.

Thanks we we're all getting worried but now you have told us we can all sleep well.

Any news from Santa as my boy would love to know what he is getting for Christmas.

Really? so you are telling me that he is going to postpone a meeting involving a 50mil pound sale of the football club, because the planned meeting has been leaked? and maybe he will do it next week? oh yeah, thats exactly how big business is done, what an person you are, stop posting rubbish!

Can't be half as sick as I am hearing about this takeover.

Please no TOOLS on this site !!

Takeover? what takeover?
Last I heard we had a match on the 15th, wasn't it. All that matters really

Absolute rubbish, where do these small minded children come from, making things up to annoy people

Boring now d day thursday but which thursday a!!!!

The reports of the meeting came from barain reporter who Quoyes a decision will be made negative or positive on thursday but he wasnt confident .

I thought we would get less of these stupid posts now that the kids are back at school, Bates wont care if its leaked. Either Leeds United finances are in one hell of a mess or Ken Bates is putting up a fight and demanding more money, either way this takeover is dragging on on on! on on on!

The D man

no matter what this apparent decision is on thursday, im happy with the start the team has made, 7 points from 12 taken from one of the toughest starts against 3 very good teams and Peterboro aint bad going at all, lets hope this season is good for the right reasons, not for all the doom and gloom, got boring to read it all last year

Agreed ... and with a little less naivity and a little more concentration it would have been even better. only two points from top spot and one point from second looks good at this stage.

JDC

I'd rather we lose and get rid of Bates, we are going nowhere with that robbing barsteward.

Everything is rosey now because it's the start of the season, witha full squad. Watch when the games come thick and fast, players will be dropping left right and centre. Now ask yourself, who is going to cover these injuries. NOT BATES!
When he's gone, then the club will move forward.
BATES OUT!!

"I'd rather we lose and get rid of Bates, we are going nowhere with that robbing barsteward"

mmm? Maybe its for the best that its not up to you. I'd rather we played the ball and not the man.

Fawksey (LoveLeedsHate... zzzzzzzzzzzz)

I will say it then wont I (not den)


There's been rumors of the war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind and some people thinkin' that the end is close by 'stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die

Fawksey (LoveLeedsHate all this negativity)

We have signed 11 players under Bates. Now a couple more on loan to come. He is covering the positions pretty well

We may have signed 11 players over the Summer but we got rid of 14. The squad is paper thin with no quality at all on the bench
Only the sale of our best player (Snodgrass) has, as usual, created room for player purchases.
As ever we have spent less than we have received and as ever Bates wants us to believe he's some kind of kindly benefactor
Thanks to Warnock for some astute buys against the odds, but thanks to Bates? -
NEVER

They are saying its make or break for the takeover on thursday. So is tomorrow the day weve all been praying for, please please let it be. Do the right thing mr bates, its not like you've not got a pen, unless you've sold them as well

If that deal is not signed by fri that's it they will walk away,they are trying to force Bates hand,very brave thing to do and very stupid.

Bates do the right thing? Good luck with that. To replier saying stupid to force hand of Bates they got nothing to lose so why not? Eventually there always comes a time for make or break. We are here. So they might as well go for it.

How is it a bad thing for them to do there just sick of been messed about by bates and they deserve to know whats happening just like all us fans

How much does anyone know about this company.
I strongly believe they wouldn't do us justice I hates bates i really do but loosing the amount of money they have lost over the last 5 years and only making a small profit....................

Got to force his hand no choice,if it doesn't go through he won't be able to come to leeds again,not without an armed escort anyway.

If they didn't do this, there would never be an end to it. I for one want to know yes or no.

Apparently from what you read: BATES is refusing to sign off an indemnity clause which will make him liable for any hidden financial claims for a limited time period (Standard clause in most business transactions) Or he's trying to keep 20% stake so that he will benefit from the new owners efforts and their investment. Both ways it illustrates what a 'parasite' he is. Sorry Mr Bates but you have one agenda and we the fans were always excluded and simply there for your amusement. Stay and see your investment plummet over coming weeks / months.

Losing money over the last 5 years? Nobody even knows who the consortium is. Don't believe the Bates propaganda.

Dj campbell off to Blackpool
Jermaine Beckford off to Huddersfield
Owen gone to Stoke
Ivan klasnic off to Mainz
Cheers for that Ken, much appreciated !
If you wanna leave the club in "GOOD HANDS" as you put it, use 1 of the pens even I sent you and signing the papers what is ever wrong with you ?
We need money, we need players, we don't get either we don't go up SIMPLE

Don't see what Owen has to do with it. Never in a million years would he have come to Leeds. He wasn't willing to step down.

As for Klasnic, he got offered starting football in Germany, I don't think you can blame Ken Bates for them two.

It's not like they are the only four players available, just wait and see who we get.

If we don't get anyone then blame the miserable old muppet, as for now just stay patient.

U complete mug, why would owen come down to the championship? n ivan klasnic is soo bad he would not add anythin to our team, beckford is in the past plus he was best in league 1 n dj campbell aint that good n has never been gr8 so all 4 im glad aint coming, your just after big names but if you were a real fan you would b realistic n know that someone like owen would never join leeds in the championship

Ken's a business man not a charity I believe he is doing his best, I certainly want to see the back of him but without him we wouldn't be where we are today we'd more than likely be in Div 2.

Beckford not going hudds at all, ssn has confirmed this

Only players not in Premier League 25-man squads: Elliot Ward, Michael Johnson, DJ Campbell, Rob Hulse, Radek Cerny, Luke Young.

I've been saying this since the summer that Warnock might try to get Rob Hulse on loan. Think that this may happen although I'd be happy with any of those as loan signings. They would add depth to the squad and boost competition for places

Sam luFC

I would like Michael Johnson, he supports Leeds

Why Hulse? He is not as good as Becs or Mac we should be looking at improving the team not backing it up. Somma is better than Hulse

What bout these for loans?
Frimpong
Razak
David Bentley

Hulse because what happens if we get a couple of injuries up front? Poelon and Gray to start and finish ever game for a month?

Its about having options, 3 month loan paying very little in wages would suit nicely to boost squad

Better to take a player on loan who improves the squad, not just a backup in case of injury and if Gray is not good enough for that we should not have signed him.

Would take ward johnson and hulse from that list

HULSE,,,,come on mate, were trying to go forward not backward ?////

Joe Jordan is unemployed at the moment, I am sure he could do a job too. In fact he could be a great assistant manger and a better player than Hulse

Not sure what to believe anymore I'm I am as fed up as the rest with all the Takeover talk but just thought I would share that according to LUST D-Day is Thursday, hope mister B has one of many pens handy otherwise it looks like game over on the takeover front ! Fingers crossed it goes through MOT !

Would that be this thursday, next thursday, the thursday after that of sometime never thursday then?

Same old, same old, same old....
