Moan moan moan moan moan, that's all the majority on here seem to do. Why support Leeds if all you ever do is be negative? We can still make the play offs mathematically! We've played well the last two games and not got the points we deserve, have some faith in the team and the manager!

If the season comes to an end and we finish in mid table, then look forward to the summer, a new manager new players a fresh start and could be under new ownership!

No point in moaning about it all, just live for the next game and see what happens, one day we will all get what we want it takes time, enjoy the ups and live with the downs, and eventually we will get ups on a regular basis!

Leeds and Proud, we all should be!

March on together, and let's beat the Boro!

I know what you mean pal its all gone a bit flat with the supporters but this league is very tight. every team will drop points if we went on a little winning run we would be right amongst it. play offs still a very realistic goal! Come on let's get behind the lads we can do it! Karl mot

Your moaning about people moaning.

Oh the irony.

Yes look forward to next season when, Byram, Lees, Dawson, White all go and bring in any out off contract has beens to fill the gap GFH will be as bad as old Master Bates ripping the heart out of our club.

It's the glass half full people on here who are delusional that things are going to be happy ever after
The glass half empty fans who are realists and are not happy to settle for second third or fiftieth best, actually want the club and team to improve.
I'd rather seek improvement a d want more than play sheep and follow thy leader, regardless of how inept he has proved. He has actually proved nothing other than how poor a manager he is.

What I love is everyone saying how GFH are the same as Bates. What are you basing that on. We asked for a lot and they have delievered alot. Cheaper tickets. Half season tickets. getting rid of dead wood. And when we lose our best player we replaced him with a like for like for the first time.

Who's replaced Snodgrass??

Ausman, I don't understand how you can have a right to have a go at us fans that are a little optomistic about what we want for us.

Just like you we have every right to think in a manner of silver linings and doesn't make us any less of a fan just because we don't put a downer on everything!

"Who's replaced Snodgrass?"

Why can't you keep up, GFH didn't sell Snodgrass, Bates did?

Do you know its bowt tym you so called fans stopped moaning bowt everything. are you true fans or not? I've bin goiong elland road for 12 straight years. the team are the ones we support so support them. the owners are crap I agree but at least they trying to do something bowt it. lower tickets. half season tickets. ger rid of useless dross. intent is therr an have publicly made it aware that they need investment. so a couple of loans will come in and n we will make that final push. support the team or support soneone else. because we are the ones who march on together.

And who put the money in for summer transfer this season it wasn;t Bates

Which young player have they sold this time? They extended Whites contract before they even took over the club, extended Byrams then top player in Diouf. Swapped 29 year old becchio for a better 29 year old striker and money. Lowered tickets, half season tickets, invested 2m in the summer before they actually owned the club. Oh yeah looking at all that I see why he is the same as bates. haha. Also the guy on about half empty = realists and seeking improvement, its making us worse as the atmosphere is shocking, also what benefit does it give being negative as if you moan 24/7 on this rumour site do you really think it will change anything. As a Leeds fan it pains me to say this but he was right about one thing there are a lot of people who support this once great club.

On what basis are you saying morrison is better than becchio? can you tell me when morrison last scored 16 goals by january in a season?

Maybe they should have taken over the club before extending whites contract so they could have had a look at him, then they would have probably sold him and got any money they could for him as he is mostly pants

Question to all the whites out there. are lass has told me am taking the pxxs now with all these run of games of late and that if I do middlesbrough that's IT don't come home EVER!. So what do I doo? go back the mighty whites and find a new wife! Or stick with the 1 I've already got ( she's well fit) but its a big 3 points. Believable for take the pxss and back the lads. Unbelievable for stick with wife no 1. Batley lad Mot. {Ed013's Note - Bin her}

Marriage is temporary nowaday, Leeds united is for life!

Cheers for the note ed. Bourgh it is then! Come on leeds. {Ed013's Note - By the way, if this is serious then I cannot have you blaming me for being out on the streets! Listen on Minster FM if you cant go!!!}

Anyone who's says there wife is "we'll fit" is clearly masking the fact that she isn't! Man rulebook p56. Get yourself there and find another "fit" bird lol

Leeds will never leave you, she might!

Mate if she can't except you love football then she don't deserve you: )

Tell her your off for some milk lol. {Ed013's Note - Or a Horse burger}

I don't think it as bad as I first thought. Something is happenning at Leeds one idea is that NW might walk in the summer, so the new owners/investors have a idea of a new manager and will give him the money for him to create a team he wants.

At least someone has brains, unlike the majority of whingers

"one idea is that NW might walk in the summer"

That isn't 'one idea' that is the true situation as it stands, Warnock was given this season to get promotion and then the agreed contract ends?

After that it's down to both parties to decide if it is renewed/extended?

Apparently no discussion has taken place about his future yet?

11 Feb 2013 12:41:33
anyone catch this in a certain tabloid this morning?

Recent developments have accelerated the move for adkins (which was due to take place in the summer), with Warnock moving to take up the papacy at the Vatican.

Speaking in a press conference, Neil conceded:
'To be honest, I don't know my st peter from my st paul, but we'll have a bloody good go at it!'

OK i've got nothing against Warnock. We've not done amazing this year but I'm pretty happy with the position we're in now considering the size of our investment compared to other clubs. However, one thing which is really starting to annoy me and a few others i've talked to is Warnock's lack of substitutes. He barely ever takes people off, and the amount of times I've seen him make his first substitute in the last minute is ridiculous. He doesn't seem to understand that players get tired and I think that contributed to our draw over the weekend. He plays more or less the same players every game which I have no problem with, but the fact that he doesn't even give a chance to others through substitutes is depressing. Pearce I feel isn't being given enough time and don't get me started on Hall. I think he has great potential, but what's the point of signing him to make him a benchwarmer? He doesn't give enough people a chance. You never know, that might be what we're missing to get in a few cheeky goals and results. MOT

Very Dissapointed with throwing away 2 valuable ponts at the weekend however, still 100% everything to play for, the next 6 games are against either teams above or teams also battling for a playoff place, every game a 6 pointer.

It's going to be a well exciting end to the season and I for one am still confident we can get into the playoffs, if we can hold onto Barkley and get a winger this week, it'll add that extra spark we needed in the last 2 games which we should have won! Roll on Tues

i think warnock will wait to sign a winger or they would miss the playoffs if we reach them

Me too absolutely gutted
so many games we deserve to win and dont
i do however trust the new owners and believe given time to put a plan together it will be one to compete next season
infact I believe that we will be the team running away with it (if we don't make the play offs this time) TS

What about the very long list of games we won but didn't deserve to - Palace, Leicester, Barnsley, Bolton for starters. Bit rose-tinted - we are not a top 6 side. The table doesn't lie is one of the oldest, and truest, clichés in football.

The table doesn't lie? We win tonight and we're two points off 6th place.

Ed. And other fans. I don't really know anything about the goings on behind the scenes at a football club. Anything more than footy manager i'm clueless. I just support the squad of players and hope to here good things from the club. i'd like to ask of your opinions on how gfh are doing compared to bates ownership. Are we looking in a better position than before? Are we going the right way? I like to be optimistic but all these rumours don't sound good. Dannylufc {Ed013's Note - It all depends on what their long term plan is as they know that they must spend to take this club forward and that may require investment which if done the right way is fine. They have started well, reduced some tickets, made available half season tickets, paid up contracts of dead wood players and created social network sites to interact with the fans. People are only judging GFH on the lack of big money signings, they need to realise that Jan is a hard month to buy players and if Neil goes before next season then it is better to back the new man rather than waste money on players that may not be needed next season}

Good response Ed013! {Ed013's Note - People will have their own opinion mate, but we have to be realistic}

Lots of fans wanted the new owners to be our saviours, to show the ambition and investment that would help take the club back to the top. IMO the current owners simply don't have the capital to do so. It's all very well Mr Patel tweeting a link to an article saying that January is a bad time to buy players and for the OS to have a statement describing all the great players acquired since the takeover. Sorry but it doesn't wash with me. Why couldn't they find the extra money for Burke, where were the players of the calibre of Boyd? It says it all when you realise that our new owners are already seeking investors. Isn't that what Bates did for 8 years?

Big difference is NOBODY wanted to do business with Bates! Already investors interested - Adam Pearson being the only one that's public. GFH stated from the outset that they would welcome investors that would help take the club forward on a sustainable footing. Jimbo
