Leeds Banter Archive April 11 2014
Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.
11 Apr 2014 22:47:35
Jeff/survivor,
Are you that kid who rang bates and Mc up the other week, then broadcasted it?
{Ed013's Note - TNS he is known as}
No but it was brilliant
11 Apr 2014 21:41:43
Love this site - been watching from a distance for a while - every time there was a hint of progress for our fantastic club - every transfer window - now finally I've registered. Keep up the good work - and here's to 3 points tomorrow.
{Ed013's Note - Thanks buddy}
11 Apr 2014 21:30:49
I've posted before but not left name now I'm registered feels good and ready to help leeds mot
{Ed013's Note - Cheers Damo and welcome}
11 Apr 2014 21:20:29
This Jeff survivor geezer is really getting on my nerves and most other peoples I suspect! Been on this site for 2 odd years now and always enjoyed the banter but this fella is going down a whole new road of what I believe to be total and utter rubbish! Its getting to the point of being ridiculous. Not sure you going to post this Ed because you seem to believe in this mans credibility at times but surely by now you must be doubting his integrity? I have the feeling he is a sad liitle man wanting to sound important and gets a buzz from all his Walter Mitty rubbish but enough is enough. Anyway enough talk about this man and heres hoping for 3 points tomorrow and just as important a good performance. MOT.
{Ed013's Note - I give everyone a chance mate and I understand where you and most of the others are coming from. It is a shame really because if he is ITK then he is digging a hole for himself and eventually will be unable to use the site due to the amount of abuse coming in making it not worthwhile to carry on. I suggest that Jeff takes a chill pill and enjoys the site. I am sure most people that go to the games would gladly meet him for a chat. I treat people with an open mind, but if Jeff turned out to be an other Indi Kalia (sit at home teenager that makes stuff up for attention) I would be greatly disappointed. Anyway, everyone is Leeds and it would be nice if everyone could March On Together}
We'll put ED everyone has a voice, let's stick together lads and lasses. Jeff think before you print ;)
11 Apr 2014 21:11:49
Surely the feel good factor has to take over tomorrow. 3-0 to Leeds.
Hope your right and it's a win Hebbers, I backed 3-1 @ 16-1 ;)
AndyMOT
11 Apr 2014 20:45:48
I urge everyone to get down to ER tomorrow. Its MCs first home game let's show him the potential and this great club is ready to take off once more! MOT
11 Apr 2014 20:01:23
Been reading this site for ages so I thought I better register hello one an all keep up the good work edsgreat site this.
{Ed013's Note - Hi mate, your registration doesn't appear to be working}
Weird that because I received the e mail thanking me for registering.
{Ed013's Note - Try logging in again mate}
11 Apr 2014 19:48:49
I would just like to say I'm finally registered as a user after using this site for 2 years. Iv seen some brilliant posts and rumours. And some hilarious comments (as long as it's friendly).
Now I'm full with optimism for the new ownership and after finding what we did today it's going to be a very interesting next few months. Massimo on on on on on!
Over and out :)
11 Apr 2014 19:38:11
Ok I love this site it's wonderful.
Massimo is at the game tomorrow.
The guy is going through hell to buy us and he deserves our love and support .
Back Brian and the team and shout for Massimo the Gladiator who has saved Leeds United.
Jeff
Newsflash! Massimo will be at the game tomorrow, thank G you keep us informed of this quality inside info, we would never have thought it ourselves
11 Apr 2014 19:24:54
Even now the loser has gone I'm getting grief.
Thank The Lord Leeds Urd has Massimo the saviour.
Jeff
How boring, at least John Fitz was funny!
11 Apr 2014 18:47:13
Blackpool are one team who are just as bad as us on the field. We should be able to beat them. I wish I could say what lineup i'd put out but I really don't know. Not Noel Hunt anyway. Wish we had Peltier to cover Byram.
11 Apr 2014 18:40:47
I had a meeting with D Haigh a couple of weeks ago at ER and he took me in with his rubbish.
Since then he's not answered a message till last night and then today he tried to cause me big problems with Massimo.
Let the 747 rot in hell.
I only wanted to open Yorkshire Radio for the fans and I get all this grief from a loser like him.
Long live Leeds United
By the way his statement today is a total lie
I introduced the Italians to Leeds United through Paul Hunt at the end of last year.
Another lie D Haigh.
Sue me if I have said anything that's not true.
Jeff Samuel
{Ed013's Note - That doesn't surprise me at all with those clowns}
So far there's no radio station, and most things you've said have been wrong. Why should we believe that you introduced Massimo to LUFC?
No I m Spartacus!
So where is this text u was trying to copy and paste from haigh earlier, I really don't know about u mate I'm hoping for all the eds sake u do get intel because they have shown a lot of trust in u posting all your comments
{Ed001's Note - there is good reason why I always put his posts on banter and not rumours. I don't believe anything he says personally. I treat him like I do those fantasists we have on other sites, such as Oracle on Spurs and Malaga Gooner on Arsenal, just a bit of fun and not to be treated seriously.}
11 Apr 2014 18:23:27
My predictions for tomorrow,
Good crowd, 30k? All getting behind the team, McD & making ER sound like it should do.
Singing Cellino songs throughout the game, no income tax, no VAT.
Players up their performance.
Ross to score a couple.
Win 3-1.
And we'll be safe, championship again next season.
What odds would Bill's give me for that?
MOT
Yes come on get down to ER and sing your hearts out for the lads. Its the dawning of a new era. In MC we trust MOT
11 Apr 2014 18:14:23
Hi lads just posting to Say would u guys lay off of survivour please, he's a good man and doesn't deserve this, he made a few bad predictions but the others where spot in and I hope hell make some good ones in the summer transfer window,
So survivour if u think everyone's against you don't worry I'm still on your side.
We've got his mum to look after him derrick. I have just worked out his true identity after a bit of detective work mainly through the radio job. yes survivor really is - alan partridge! ah ha!
Thank you Dellboy I really appreciate that.
I just hate people who are trying to rip off Leeds Utd.
Aw bless, they were not predictions, he said he was in the know and that's what flapped a lot of people off, its one thing to hive your opinion, another thing entirely to state something as fact when it clear isnt, I've no grudge against him just keep it real.
I like him
How can my mum be called Derrick when her name is Pauline?
Please explain Jeremy.
Jeff
I was referring to the original poster whose name was delboy04. dellboys name in only fools and horses was derrick. I once had a fling with a pauline.oh no
11 Apr 2014 17:06:50
Looking at league table;
5 games left;
Blackpool (H)
Barnsley (A)
Notts Forest (H)
Birmingham (A)
Derby (H)
8 points away from safety
Having lost our last 5 matches
Were are these 8 points going to come from?
8 points?
That's not really how it works. We only really need 1 win to stay up. There is no chance all the teams bellow us will win 3 out of 5 whilst we lose all out of 5
Agree 3 pts should do it. let's hope we get them this weekend as other games are tough.
Looking at the fixtures of the teams below us, the fact they play each other in most cases and they play teams who are going for the play offs we could very well have enough points already, especially if you take the goal difference as being worth a point. Three points tomorrow should see us home and dry.
You can't predict the results in this league, us against Donny and Charlton, Millwall 2 very good wins away, doesn't matter what other teams do, its in our hands, our record the past 20 matches has een pathetic and the worst in the league, but Ill still e there tomorrow, doing my bit, let's raise the rafters and show both massimo and the team our support.
11 Apr 2014 17:01:21
Spy cameras?
Haigh quitting?
"Theft" of club funds?
No comments from GFH?
This are getting inetresting
DS
Hi Ed I posed you a serious question a few days ago about why GFH could not be investigated about why we are in so much debt? Todays goings on will surely mean this now has to happen? Hidden cameras and missing money! How did the FL allow us to be taken over by these crooks? MOT
{Ed013's Note - The police will investigate them now mate}
Spy cameras in the boardroom has got uncle kenneth written all over it. but why would you put some in the toilets? kinky ken
Hi Ed just registered I asked you a serious question about a few days back about investigating GFH. This surely this must now happen! Hidden cameras and money gone missing. Why did the FL allow us to be taken over by crooks? MOT
{Ed013's Note - Yes mate, by the police}
Funny you should say that as I hear it's been done before
Good Ed I hope GFH get their comeuppance they have nearly destroyed this club! I hope there is a massive crowd tomorrow to get behind the lads and show the GFH what we think of them! MOT
11 Apr 2014 16:54:50
I'm really enjoying this but you didn't pass my posts yesterday.
If they cross me they fall.
Good riddance David.
He even tried to stuff me today before he resigned.
Jeff
{Ed013's Note - What are you going on about}
I sent you 2 posts yesterday that you didn't print and you can check with Mad Mick as I told him.
{Ed013's Note - Your posts went on}
Jeff you upset half this site with your prediction last week stating MC would fail and admin was looming etc, we all listen to rumours and get things wrong from time to time but please please reflect on what happened last week I thought you WOULD HAVE learnt a tiny lesson??
Tell us more our jeffrey
Jeff you need to start explaining your posts more, you've already lost most of your credibility and people won't bother reading your post if you don't make them clearer. If you've got stuff to tell us, just put it out there man.
Firstly I won't talk to posters who don't give a name.
Jeremy do we know each other?
I'm now gunning for Master Bates.
He's next to get stuffed.
Jeff
After seeing what D Haigh and GFH have done to our wonderful football club I am disgusted and frankly ashamed with them all.
Don't let any of them inside ER ever again.
Jeff
11 Apr 2014 16:36:02
I've been an outsider looking in regularly on this site. Registered now so I can be part of it, part of the feelgood factor that's been missing for sometime. If MC's actions are as good as his words then BOOOM! MOT. PS how do you spot a Leeds fan . they've got a smile on their face.
I pad white
Nice one lol

11 Apr 2014 16:33:29
if massimo the messiah(a saviour or liberator of a group of people) wants a coach not a manager what are your thoughts on ray wilkins? he is available and supposed to be a great coach
Not a chance.
We need a young coach not an old man.
I prefer to use the term experienced not old our jeffrey
11 Apr 2014 17:24:30
I wouldn't mind Ray Wilkins.
Scoops
Hope that's not you coming out of the closet lol
Andy MOT
Wilkins is not on the agenda
11 Apr 2014 19:51:29
Not at all. I remain in Narnia ;-)
Super Ray Wilkens? come on you lot catch up - Ray Butch Wilkens is not well - its been all over the press - alcohol and anxiety and other complications at Fulham - a brave man - told his story and I admire him. Was a great player - but at the moment he is not employable and is out of work to recover.
11 Apr 2014 16:05:41
Massimo Cellino, the new owner of Leeds United. Guitarist, and eclectic president, says that "Elland Road is my Highway to Hell", referring to a famous piece of AC / DC. He said, it is a three hundred and sixty degrees turn around from what he was as a waiter in London at eighteen, he says, "I have nothing to hide." On McDermott. "It 'a good guy." Then on the objectives United. "I wanted to give him a chance, to engineer us up, and McDermott told me that if we were not in the Premier in two seasons, he failed in his mission. Two more years I can't see him getting promotion ever just not got what it takes. cellino needs some Stiff upper lip, and a touch of High voltage. tell the players to Shake a leg and Shoot to thrill. nuff said MOT
11 Apr 2014 15:51:42
Just registered. Let's get behind the team and manager between now and end of season to ensure we stay in this division and then see what the summer brings.
11 Apr 2014 15:21:57
Posted as a reply earlier but has shot to near the bottom of the page already so reposting as an original post;
Heard that a few people are having t shirts done with MC's quotes.
What's everyone having put on them?
My favorite one at the moment is ' you can buy a whore but you can't buy the love'.
Also, 'you don't sell your fridge for beer'
MOT
There's so much potential Lucas and I can see there being many more gems to come! Harte of leeds
11 Apr 2014 15:20:34
Don't think we should play Murphy and Mowatt in the same midfield just yet. They tend to get steamrollered in this divisionNot sure with Peltier gone and Byram injured who we can play at the back. Definitely not convinced by Wooton.We have Pearce, Warnock, Lees and Pugh. Zalukas. Thought he was good when he came - been disappointed since the first three or four games he played.
Given the lack of options:-
Kenny/ Butland
Lees Pearce Warnock(central) Pugh
Stewart Brown Tonge White
Smith McCormack
Not keen on either of the wingers but they are the best we have. Could give Dawson a run out instead of Stewart but that could be a bit unbalanced. Peltier could play central when he was here Warnock might be able to do the same. Don't mind Kenny or Butland-but the way the defence have performed recently we could ask permission from the FL to play them both. They like supporting us! Two keepers and ten outfield might just give us an edge.
Or you could leave Smith on the bench and play Murphy OR Mowatt in Midfield with McCormack up front. Smith on as an impact player with 20/25 minutes to go. Downside, without Smith to aim at, I'm not sure we have enough quality to pass the ball around and play the striker in. Banging it in the air to McCormack is a waste of time.
I really couldn't care less what the starting lineup is. they are all as bad as each other. as long as they get a result, who cares.
11 Apr 2014 15:06:52
hi fello leeds fans want to be honest here and come clean i'm also a rumourholic and can't keep off this site have only refreshed 10 times today so getting better on a serious note love that more supporters are finally registering welcome all and ill look forward to reading your future posts doing a fantastic job edd makes the site more of a personal level when having a name attached to posts so again great job I love your site and cellino don't forget to pick me up on the bus when passing through ireland!

{Ed013's Note - Really sorry mate, I probably wasn't around. A massive welcome and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cheers Edo13, you've made my day!

as it is a brilliant site
3 points against blackpool
all the best to the best fans in the world
11 Apr 2014 14:37:53
Lot of talk about a new manager. Some things happen for a reason. I'd rather get the wrong manager at the wrong time which is what happened with McD. He is not a big club manager. Now we have Cellino it's the right time to go for Nigel Adkins. He is tailor made for Leeds. Plays decent football, 3 promotions under belt, has extensive knowledge on physiotherapy which can help injured players and prevent injuries, is studious constantly thinking about tactics and his middle name is Howard! Hopefully he wouldn't keep harping on about his time at Reading! Go for Nige MC.
Good assessment george, is he available at current time?
Wow. he can't prevent injuries. Water to wine, anyone?
11 Apr 2014 14:09:47
Iv seen a few people mention pirlo and conti? From Cagliari on here:
Pirlo set to sin new deal with juventus and conti when asked said " me at leeds? I think no" most of you have probably seen this already but just thought I'd share as haven't seen the pirlo set the resign on here so far and people mentioned both players a little while back. Sorry if I'm late with this!
11 Apr 2014 13:26:40
I think either our shirts or stadium will need to be sponsored by an Italian corn company next season so that the fair play rules don't interfere with our team development. Also does anyone know if spending money on buying ER back would count against us in terms of outgoings, we already have a massive disadvantage with our season ticket sales and catering sales being mortgaged to buy a white elephant which will make ER more expensive to buy back.
MOT
Isn't this season the second of the 2 season loans against tickets/catering etc?
Catering is being changed mum.
Our we going to get lots of pasta, pizza and corn on the cob our jeffrey?
Mums doing the cooking soon
11 Apr 2014 12:58:17
New Manager has to be Alan Sugar, clearly going to be a lot of "your fired" in the summer.
On a more serious note, we must get behind our current manager, squad until the seasons over. Mot

11 Apr 2014 12:06:25
Don't worry that's it, nothing more the FL can do. In my eyes they should be saying sorry to MC, as they failed him on a dishonest act without any evidence of this. MC knew what he was doing all along, why else would he agree to keep paying the wages? He is much smarter than the FL and so it has proved. The fact that the FL were disappointed in the appeal victory just goes to show the alleged bias. As someone said a while ago these takeovers should go through a QC anyway to stop any conflicts of interest. We could all be wrong about the FL and they could have the best interests of LUFC but I can't see it and us true Leeds fans just feel it deep down. But on wards and upwards as MC rightfully won and a big phuck you to the FL. Oh yeah and sack that bald guy please MC.

must admit read some good posts on here, but lippys blog is just how I believe should happen. we need another 3 points out of the last 5 games to keep us up. get rid of all the over 21s .play the best of development squad and the likes of mcormack and smith for rest of season .with the intention of dumping all the dross after the season finishes.start fresh next season with lads that want to play for the shirt. just my thoughts.

Morning LUFC family.
any thoughts on what we think/would like the team to be this weekend?
taking into consideration our injuries at the minute I would go for this. (3-5-2)
GK: Kenny
CB: Pearce
CB: Lees
CB: Warnock (I would try him central)
RWB: Stewart
CDM: Murphy
CM: Mowatt
CM: Tonge
LWB: White
ST: McCormack
ST: Smith
Subs: Butland, Wootton, Pugh, Brown, Poleon, Dawson, Walters
Would agree with you regarding Dawson. I think he's got really good potential and needs more game time to improve further
U mad Stewart rwb he can't defend
{Ed013's Note - Can he even play football ;-)
11 Apr 2014 10:50:41
Is this the line for Masimo Cellino's feel good factor express to the premier League, Europe, Infinity and beyond?
No excuses now, let's have a good end to another poor season.
Great site. On here multiple times throughout the day.

Let's hope for a win over Blackpool tomorrow . big crowd and get behind the team Brian and Massimo. MOT
11 Apr 2014 10:39:38
I hope MC doesn't sack BMCD before the end of the season, I think he deserves a chance, all depends whether MC trusts him to spend his money on decent players over the summer. I think if we win 3 or 4 games before the end of the season, he might keep his job. Who do people want in next season if he goes? My choices would be Mackay, Di Matteo or McInnes at Aberdeen. (PS if anyone sees our Jeff tell him he's forgot his PE kit)
Personally if BMD does keep his job I think the players will be bought for him and he would be told to use them ;)
AndyMOT
Mum tomorrow could be D day for a Big Mac.
Hope not Andy, can't see that working. Surely the manager must pick the players to play. MC could pick some right duds!
Jeff - no Big Macs for you, eat ya veg son.
11 Apr 2014 10:38:20
Just listened to BmD interview on and he still spends most of his time banging on about how great he did at Reading. He needs to realise we don't give a flying truck what he did/didn't achieve at Reading, his record here is appalling. He needs to motivate the overpaid under talented players he recruited to get the results to ensure we avoid relegation.
Oh and Reading clearly didn't see him as the Messiah as they sacked him a few months in to the following season.
In Massimo we trust ( well at least hope )
On if anyone was wondering
11 Apr 2014 09:29:58
Liking MC interview in the YEP, still viewing it all with some suspicion, but I am old and cynical.
BMD will inevitably get the sack, which I think is a shame, still think he can do the job well, look where we were at Xmas with a crap side and before all the ownership nonsense really kicked in. Just wondered who people wanted as new manager, don't want to see us go down the total Italian route. How about 1 of these 2 to start with;
Eddie Howe -
Dougie Freedman -
Wondered what other people thought?
Tewy
Just some suggestions:
Simon Grayson (not one for going back but would like to see what he could do with a proper owner in charge)
Chris Hughton (just throwing that one out there)
Zola (even though his agent has spoken out and commented "no")
Tim Sherwood (if Spurs let him go and we can prize him from the prem')
DS
I thought eddie howe a while back, but couldn't see him leaving bourmouth, he went back to them from a championship promotion chaser to a league 1 side. So he must have some personal connection with them
I was disappointed to see Grayson go and agree with you he deserves another chance, but there are some very good managers out there that could develop a NEW squad into something we haven't seen Grayson achieve. He's been the only manager I can remember in some time now that you could see gave a damn.
11 Apr 2014 08:34:32
I too just read the YEP interview with MC. I really like his style. He seems very motivated to create a legacy for himself and the fans. He seems to want to leave a positive mark on his life so when he dies people will say " he created the New success at Leeds" and his statue will stand outside the ground!
He is his own man and he wants to be loved. What more do we need from an owner! Great to see so much optimsm from the fans. Unfortunately living in Bristol you feel a bit removed from the real action and this great site keeps me informed and involved. Every time I visit a client in Leeds I always visit the ground and stock up on shirts etc. It always feels like I'm home. Premier League here we come. MOT!
{Ed013's Note - He is very impressive when he speaks, lets see if he follows the talk up with more actions. Here's to a brighter future}
Eddie Howe would be a good shout but I think he's happy where he is. Uwe Rosler and the ginger Mourinho ( Sean Dyche ) would also be good but they will be hoping to make it to the promised land this season. Malky Mackay could do a job for one season ( About MC's average ) but wouldn't trust him with the big money in the premier.
Karl Robinson would be my choice as whoever takes over will be on a tight budget due to FL fair play rules. He would be great at finding good players on the cheap and coaching the kids to a higher level and he does wonders with sweet FA at MK Dons
11 Apr 2014 08:16:56
Nice to see GFH are being consistent. The silent asassins, they came, they saw, they bled dry. The leeches have slunk back to their murky pool to celebrate the greatest escape since Appollo 13. The past IS the past and let's hope they are written out of the present and future asap
11 Apr 2014 07:00:42
Just registered and made first post last night- getting used to how it works. In our house we are pretty much addicted to both banter and rumour sites since first started reading them around the time GFH came on the scene- they have been really bad, whilst the site has been really great- there's loads of rubbish on here, but lots of sense and close to the mark too- brilliant. Thanks for all your efforts Ed, and best wishes to LUFC + MC, I hope he delivers on his promises of being ruthless yet sensible. Leeds Forever
{Ed013's Note - Thanks the drummistman, welcome and really appreciate your feedback}
11 Apr 2014 07:58:30
Just read MC's report in the YEP. NOW that's a positive attitude!
I also wonder what's going to happen with the younger players.
Would like to see the new lad we got from Ireland have a shout.
Hi Gazza
If your on about young Robbie McDaid, I've spoken to a friend who lives in Tyrone.
At 14 Robbie was playing u16 level and at 16 u18 and senior level a few times and stood out by MILES.
He says he's an EXCEPTIONAL talent with a natural eye for goal but lightweight. Obviously he's NOT an expert but says given 12 months to adapt and build his core strength LUFC will have a serious talent.
Fingers crossed
AndyMOT
Its to early for McDaid yet but young Dawson should be getting a game, he has been playing really well of late.
McDaid doesn't actually join until end of season.
Would agree Dawson worth place on bench. Apparently played well for Development team earlier in week.
I agree Dawson needs more game time

"The fans of Leeds, they're tired of eating Amelia Earhart and shutting their mouths. They accept me with enthusiasm and that gives me a lot of responsibility. I'm the richest man in the world with these fans and I can challenge anyone, everyone."
