Just registered after commenting a fair few times and seeing ed saying we all need to soon. I put in a comment earlier in reply to a post about brims and just wanted more to see my final points, for the ones that want rid of Brian were u the same ones that moaned about Massimo and the fact he's been thru 36 managers in 20yrs? I bet a few of u are. Personally I feel he should be given time, yea he's bought some dross but he's also trying to build for the future wootton, Murphy. He's also had to or still is trying to set up a scouting network that realistically should have been in place anyway he's had to deal with a board that say the right things but don't back it up, several takeovers, people maybe not getting paid, this does all add up, if you had all that to do on top of your own job would u still be on top form I doubt it. And finally look at Leicester, they could have very easily got rid of Pearson in the summer, it looked like they would because he'd had a poor season in relation to the money they had spent but they decided to stick with him and now look where they are, and that is down to continuity because he's not bought hardly anything in the summer. I agree with some, yes Brian has made some strange decisions but I personally feel he should be given the summer and at least till December once everything is sorted in the boardroom to see what he can do once he's got his system on place and players he wants not just cast offs

Well said that man

Tigerman
TOTALLY AGREE couldn't have put it better myself, I've had a pop at BmD when we have lost and played poor but I think he deserves time. (JUST ME VENTING MY FRUSTRATION)

Andy MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

U missed the most important aspect of his job and that's the team and the performances.both Pribbably the worst its ever been. Frankly if he can't keep his act together in tough times it only shows a weakness and in this industry. that's unacceptable

Agree0 Disagree0

If he can't keep his act together are u serious? Everyone above him have made his job so easy for him haven't they! Do u really think he has been able to solely concentrate on managing the team?

Agree0 Disagree0

if we had a different manager through all this crap he woud of walked a long time ago . brian is willing to work through the rubbish and enjoy the good times when they come .keep him we will get promoted next season, sack him off and who ever he goes to in summer will get promoted . i'm sure 1 of the teams coming down will snap him up and give him funds

Agree0 Disagree0

Get your point tigerman, but this is a job not a hobby, his goal is to win matches and he's failing dismally, I think he lost the dressing room a while ago given varneys comments. what's with all thispoor brian bull he gets paid a hefty salaey and its not like somebody els wouldent b up for the job, there's folk out yhere eould chewtheir arms off for his position regarless of takeover saga

Just a test comment I went to mobile version and I couldn't see my sig on any comments. Just checking if its working now? May aswell post something relevant whilst I'm here! Can you continue to blog about the games ed don't get to see many at the minute and like to see an honest proper opinion on how the lads perform. I know it's time consuming but even a basic opinion in a paragraph would be fantastic as I enjoy the blogs?

now I hear if the FL can't find any faults and are now sending all document to the premier league who in turn will pass them onto uefa and if still not satified will send to fifa and if there still isn't any faults found cellino will have to take a spelling test and if he passes that with flying colours then they will ask what's the average attendance for a leeds game at home games and if he guesses that correctly he'll be asked to name them!
dont believe ask survivor!
and to top it off leeds will be deducted 50 next season if cellino has more than a 100 million in his account because he'll be too rich for the like of us and we are not allowed to be that lucky tough being a leeds fan!
could take up to ten years to pass the fppt in which cellino will get fed up of waiting and buy bradford!
but its ok there's plan b
bates is interested in rebuying the club so no need to panic

Nice one!

NEWS FLASH. SURVIVOR TAKES OVER WORLD!

Not only is this guy not content with battling with Ken Bates for Yorkshire radio, on personal terms with Mr Cellino (who Brian hasn't even spoke to yet) now it appears he is after our very own Ed's job and will create his own site. that'll be fun won't it lads? me and Mass this, me and Dave that. haha. I can't believe there are so many people giving this guy credence. When he's exposed as the crank that Crmd, Andy and myself can see he is, we'll all say "I told you so". please post this Ed as Survivor has got an ego bigger than my ex's ass so will like the publicity.

{Ed013's Note - Jeff wouldn't like my job mate}

Well said Mick. Utter madness that people believe everything they read. i'm usually cynical at the best of times regarding the nonsense on rumour sites but survivor makes me laugh. Some ego trip on the go.

Ive got a news story for ya Mick. Leeds are in takeover talks with an italian bloke. Keep it hush though. can't reveal my sources as itll cost me a lot of money. Hush hush.

Crmd

Madmick/crmd LMFAO

Do you have to pass a fppt to own a radio station I wonder? or even a drugs test lol

Andy MOT

Probably just have to pass wind mate. Load of hot air.

I believe after the issues with Massimo and BMD it will need a change, can't see as there will be any trust between them and to be honest not sure BMD is the man to take us forward. Nice guy yes but his signings have been at best average and we seem to play a different formation every week. He may be a good coach but his tactics leave a lot to be desired and his interaction with sub choices etc is diabolical.

Sorry Brian but think the new man will want his own manager and someone he trusts and understands.

ED, I've enrolled on to this fine site, but alas my posts don't make it, love to see my monica in blue. Big MARK

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Please check on all of the pages as some could be there,

Here are the recent one's that have been accepted;

Am I blue yet

We stand in the kop anyway, so no change for us, the stewards try and get you to sit down at the start but give it up as a bad job....Big Mark

I also agree with Mad Mick, also if im wrong I will walk the the magic sponge in the buff..Big Mark

Is it you birthday today Kevin?, you have aged a year whilst writing that.BTW I agree with everything you have said.Happy Birthday Kev......Big Mark}

You may not agree with his signings but his hands have been tied. If you only give someone a pound they can only really get something for a pound.
If McDermott is to be given more than before his targets will change and he can start looking at the more upmarket players

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers pal. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

A pound, more like a million pounds mate, WE PAID crew a million, daylight robbery!

Agree0 Disagree0

BMD is the man! For Reading. send him packing with Kebe, Stewart and the rest of the conference players we have. We could use some Italian flair and most needed $$$$$$$$$. Hurry the hell up FL.

Agree0 Disagree0

Who is this Monica? Is she hot?

Maybe I'm an old giffer but I love this site and sadly we don't have enough posters.

Before I build my own site please talk.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed013's Note - It has 1000's of posts Jeff, sadly there are too many abusive, fairy-tale or repeated posts that don't make it on. We try and build a friendly site where people can voice their opinion without being ridiculed. Over the last few weeks we have let more posts through due to the frustrations at Leeds. Next month will become a registered user site only}

Got a lot going on ain't ya jiff? New radio station and now a blog.

Agree0 Disagree0

Got a feeling this Survivor geezer is one big spoof! How can 1 person rate himself so much and talk a fair bit of rubbish if you read between the lines. Ausman used to annoy me until this person appeared.

Agree0 Disagree0

My thinking is that Geoff/ Survivor is a kid with a parent involved at ER, or a middle age Paris 75 Vet like me - Veteran

Agree0 Disagree0

Im disappointed ed I use his site almost daily I don't have a alias but I don't really feel the need to, you don't need a name to have an opinion.
sadly I won't be willing to give my email address to another site to sell on a mailing list, the cookies and location data are frankly enough. I doubt youl be particularly bothered about one person but I can assure you itll cost you some traffic

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Unfortunately it is the way we have to go to stop the rubbish that comes through. All of the sites are going the same way, i've tried delaying Leeds as long as possible. Could you not have a separate email for football related things? That's what I do, a work one and a personnel one}

14 Feb 2014 09:44:12
Ridiculous or what
Now I understand that the FL are checking with the Premiership.
Sounds like they are worried about our promotion next year

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Whatever Massimo told them the other day, they seem to be convinced that he means business and is very serious. So in a perverse way excellent news. What the hell it has to do with the PL though, I have no idea.

Agree0 Disagree0

Have any other takeovers been ratified after referral to the PL?

CTLUFC

Agree0 Disagree0

Like i've said in my posts before, the league will do anything they can to stop leeds united becoming a force in british football again. They never want us anywhere near the top evel again, the club should look into this and take the fl, fa and the fpl to court

Agree0 Disagree0

If it can be proved to the FL have referred to the Premier League then would think LUFC have a legal case against FL unless LUFC have agreed to it.
Haven't seen anywhere in the FL rules re Owners and Directors that information will be passed on or referred to 3rd parties. Also if FL cannot prove that is normal practice they could be open to action by LUFC/Cellino.

Agree0 Disagree0

Do they have different rules? can prem veto a sale in lower leagues

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2014 17:04:11
fl will try to keep us in the league as we fill all there groumds amd will not let us b owned by a wealthy guy b because they r scarebd that we will av money and leave their league to the pr em and can't afford to lose us

Agree0 Disagree0

I would like to know the feeling of everyone regards standing or sitting in the kop.
There is a debate going on inside the club but please let me have your thoughts.
Jeff

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Most people stand during the game anyway, so let's make it official. Might put a couple of stewards out of a job but they have no personality so no great loss

Agree0 Disagree0

Lets have standing back in the kop & south stand lower, atmosphere & passion from these area`s would surely get the team fired up, still plenty of room for people wanting to sit.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep get standing back in south stand and kop lot better and anyway everyone stand up and save the stewards a job of trying to get everyone to sit down

Agree0 Disagree0

We stand in the kop anyway, so no change for us, the stewards try and get you to sit down at the start but give it up as a bad job. Big Mark

Agree0 Disagree0

Standing is the best. there's no atmosphere in the prawn sandwich ends (east and west) because they all sit down.

Agree0 Disagree0

Standing for me and everyone I know who goes to elland road . Please bring it back in kop and south stand lower . Where leeds and we won't to stand! Mot.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Feb 2014 14:28:28
Bring back standing definitely, should never have been stopped in the first place. Atmosphere never been as good in kop since

Agree0 Disagree0

I am against standing. I am visually impaired and the last game I went to I had some selfish pr''k next to me who kept standing up and moving sound shouting at the opposition fans, meaning I couldn't see anything. Despite being asked to sit down he didn't. Standing would just encourage clowns like him.

Danny LUFC

Agree0 Disagree0

I need them to keep the seats because my 9 year old comes with me and he needs one to stand on.
