Ed013, any chance of getting a 'maybe' or 'possibly' button as well as the 'believable' and 'unbelievable'?? just a suggestion...

DPK91 {Ed013's Note - I will ask, my gut feeling is no! It has taken me a while to get a reply button on the questions page. I will ask though}

Hey guys haven't you all rumbled yet that Bates is winding us fans up. He probably has his investment in place but is holding an official announcement back to keep us on edge. He is probably thinking I'll get the B's. When the announcement of potential investment was made it said talks are ongoing with the long term interests of the club in mind. The long term cannot involve Bates has he is in poor health and is ageing so it must be a buy out, That is why it is taking so long. JD

Can I just remind everyone that we beat newcastle this year not many teams can say that.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

It was last year, and it was downhill at home from that game.

Agree5 Disagree0

Great, Gradel played, paynter scored, Howson played, kisnorbo played and scored, the current team bears no reslemblence to that one! Can i remind everyone we beat Capello's Roma 1-0 and Smith came on as a sub and got two Roma players sent off? Pointless post

May I point out that there are plenty of clubs with wealthy backers, they are not all successful. I dont care if its Mickey Mouse or Donal Duck taking over, we need a good manager and a full Elland Road or else we aint going anywhere. There are few grounds as loud as ER when full, so we need to build momentum, in order for crowds to come back. The last thing I want now is an over paid team acheiving bugger all.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Totally agree but with one point, only way we will get a full elland road is to have a decent side to watch, don't get me wrong I would go no matter what team we put out, but for some people it has become a very expensive trip and is hard to keep forking out money when you know you are not gonna get value for it!

The jyg

Agree2 Disagree0

Well said JYG, Not a lot of people realise that the reason some of the Leeds fans don't turn up to games is for financial reasons. They just instantly brand people as glory supporters who only turn up when the team is doing well and not bother when we are playing poor. I for one was a season ticket holder from 1996 until 2008, but down to the cost of living and having children which is bloody expensive I only get to maybe 6 or 7 games a season now. For me, the Mrs and my son tickets, petrol cost to get to ground, match programme and pint and a burger at half time it costs close to £100 a game.

Sankey.I

Agree2 Disagree0

Sankey my son... 'Only £100 quid'. :) I fund a road trip from the South West and fuel alone costs £70. Stick the ticket, parking and food ontop and its hitting a min £150 for a home game. Im 52 and been a fan since 1972. We all go for the atmosphere and passion and very few places in the UK match. I dont particularly hate KB but just wish players would display a little more passion and determination for my buck and KB or who ever takes the reins occassionally gives something back for the loyalty and commitment we fans show. Aint seen much to date

Expect the investment ahem I mean takeover to be completed 1st of july and then we will see an injection of cash into the team(quite handy really as it has saved ken paying a couple of months wages on players like ward for example). It wont be much but we wont need much I mean the signings we are lining up are for peanuts anyway. The downside to all this is bates will still be in charge(he is the investor btw if you have not figured that out already and the investment comes from last seasons high ticket prices and player sales, kasper gradel howsen). Oh the joys of being a Leeds fan.

Believable1 Unbelievable7

Excellent letter addressed to Lorimer in the comments below his column in YEP today asking why he's not yet realised that about £17m has gone missing from Leeds accounts in the last 7 years - about the same amount that FFS were owed when they insisted (only) Bates took Leeds out of Administration or they wouldnt accept the CVA.
Strangely he walked away with £17m profit when he sold Chelsea to Roman Abromovich.
Interesting stats!

I personally do not agree with most of the LUST views and really don't support them representing all the Leeds fans

Agree8 Disagree4

LUST, have the clubs interests at heart, thats why there leeds fans. Why would they want to damage the one thing they love.
Now look at bates and tell me leeds united is in his blood. He's never been interested in anything but chargeing us top wack, while selling are most prized assets. The man is always goin to win, when people like you keep blowing his trumpit.
Think to yourself. When do you say, anothe is anothe and stand up for your club, or do you just wait till theres nothing left for him to sell. GET A BACKBONE!!
mot4life

Agree6 Disagree2

I'm no supporter of Bates and the sooner he goes the better but as Snodgrass said the protests and demos carried out by the LUST did not help last season. If LUST were a bit broghter they would first do their homework (Bates wasn't even there) and second think about the effects it has on the team.

For all those waiting for news re a takeover/investment at ER, I am beginning to feel like the most exciting news we will be seeing on the OS is another exciting offer from Flamingo Land! Does anyone remember that really bad advert btw for FL with the song ' for the best family day out.......go to Flamingo Land!!'

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Thats how bad it's got, when Master Bates thinks we'll settle for a sh=te advert. I for one want the man out of are club.

big leeds fan. rumours are just that. no truth. hoping by the end of the euros 2012 NW will push in some big talent. plus side our youngsters are talented. poleon, gimpel, turner boys,

keeper
right back
left back (if white) leaves
centre back
centre mid
right wing
forward

needs players in these areas

i like the look of andrews the 2 games played for ireland in euro 2012 he showed heart and is a free agent.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Really need to push on soon, we only have around 12 players and half of them are injured or refusing to sign new contracts, transfers need to start rolling very soon, or who we taking on the preseason friendly? Are we just going to take the youth team?

Agree4 Disagree0

Andrews? If thats the quality of player Leeds are after we really are in trouble.
