I posted a while ago that Ross was not a Warnock player and I felt he would go.He is not a team player no way would he play any where but up front next year,He had a good year at Cardiff hull came in transfer request.One good year whith us wants a big wage increase,Ross is all out for him self.Warnock wants players who will battle go into the trenches for the team.Forget Beckford he's off the same mould. Dj cambell for me he will play wide up top on his own much better option than the other 2 IMO
Why do you think he is nopt in the scotland fold? for the same reasons that you have mentioned!
18 May 2012 21:35:18
ed just seen on ssn qpr players offered new deals ? no clint hill no paddy kenny no derry deal ? as such also wish ross all the best if he can get more than has been offered else where we wont break bank for deluded wage demands i thinks mot !! {Ed013's Note - I don't won't Kenny, Would take Hill and Derry for a season}
Yeah good shout season at most with them we will see its like being in a sweet shop with no pocket money for our neil lol !!! mot nicky bee
The players they have offered deals to are up and coming young players. Just wondering if they are starting with these and then moving on to the other players. Just a thought as I too would like Clint Hill as a Leeds player or even better Jay Bothroyd.
18 May 2012 21:19:45
This is what jermaine beckfords agent said according to their web site
The 28 year old was reportedly offered to Leeds twice last season according to chairman Ken Bates, with the outspoken chairman saying 'the club had moved on.
So maybe beckford might not come
That is old news.
Not up to mister, fit for the captains table birdseye. It all comes down to who warnock wants through the door, as results stop with sgt warnock. If he feels becks can do the job he needs, then becks will be coming home, to the best supported team in the world. WE ARE LEEDS!! mot4life
As if Bates doesnt get the last say Lol
The old get would lose face if he went back on his decison, i cant see it- Mac
But this time the managers is not a yes man and will say who comes and who goes. Oviously with in budget but we can see already that sgt warnock is not scared of making big plans and that i love in a manager. UP THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE WE GO!! mot4life
18 May 2012 21:14:32
Not really a rumour I know but I wouldn't b to upset if we sold Ross for good money, though he scored a few on the season since warnock came his style of play doesn't look like its suited Ross and he's been poor, get some money for him and invest it back in with a forward, heard burnley are after him so wouldn't b to upset with a swap deal for pattinson, very lively forward in the keogh mode but more prolific
Macca was too lazy anyway and half the time looked like a telly tubby. We supported that lad when him and Billy boy couldn't hit a fu=king barn door for a full season. Just shows you how loyal we are and how much players over rate themselfs, with deluded wage demands. Now fu=k off macca, poor season for you next season, as you've always had a good season followed by a sh=t one. BYE,BYE MACCA,BYE,BYE SON,BYE,BYE MACCA, YOU NEVER SCORED FOR FUN. mot4life
We want palyers that wanna play for Leeds, if Ross is more interested in the money let him go!
I don't have a problem with forwards being lazy some of the best have been and are ie Beckford but they have to score regular and like u say it's one good season followed by a s**t one! He probably knows that so he's trying to get as much as he can while his stocks high, can't blame him all of us would do it but from a fan point lets get rid and either get Beckford who we know will score 20 a season every season and probably 15 in prem or go for a new face all together
Ps ed great site both of these, on them every day, find the deluded ones funny and the serious ones good reading MOT
It's not that Ross is more interested in money, it's his agent and his agent controls him. If Ross were to sign without his agent's consent he could be sued by the agent. Agents own players these days.
They can change agents anytime they want, so he knows whats goin on, same with clayton. Just easier for them to hide behind them, as we never see the agent on the pitch. PAIR OF THEM CAN DO ONE!! mot5life
Yeh totally agrees with the above, agents don't rule players and never will, they can b very persuasive with players but they would b nothing without a player! Players havent always had agents and could easily do without again, where would agents b without players? Phrase fly round s##t springs to mind
18 May 2012 21:06:01
some people on this site need to get realistic as far as wages are concerend . no championship team can afford to pay wages of over £15,000 a week, unless, a- they have a wealthy owner putting his own money into the club , B- they have parachute payments from dropping out of the prem or C- they want to go bust. reading about we should be paying players 20 to 25 grand a week is tottaly unrealistic. garyd MOT
Great post !! at last someone with some sense !!!!!! mot
Top players- 15k max
Thats what Snoddy will be looking at, for RM....not a chance especially with NW only wanting to retain him as a Sub!
18 May 2012 20:25:57
Would like to see the Becchio - Beckford partnership renewed.
18 May 2012 20:17:44
think we could get a completely new team and one with more of a chance of gaining promotion this season than the last.mccormack will go, clayton will go, aidy white will most likely go, all the rest of the dross will hopefully go, and if snoddy goes that should give us alot of money to play with if bates doesnt pocket the lot. i like snoddy a lot but with the amount we could sell him for i think we could get someone in with genuine pace and a good cross and with some good central mids i think snodgrass wouldnt be missed. lets face it bates aint going to splash out enough money unless we sell
Sold Delph and Howson for decent fees.. So if we get money for McCormack, Snodgrass (if a bid came in)and Clayton it doesn't necessarily mean the money will be spent on players.
The big difference now is Neil Warnock. He won't settle for being messed about. It's important not to forget that & just jump on the doom & gloom bandwagon this early.
Howson was a staggered deal up to 2 million. hardly a decent fee.
It was a decent fee bearing in mind he could have walked now (season end)for nothing.
Come on! Snodgrass is quality that is why clubs will pay millions for his signature, if he does go we WILL NOT be able to get the same quality player as a replacement without spending millions on a fee and 25-30k a week. Snodgrass must not go.
18 May 2012 20:12:34
Grétar Steinsson possible rb. Plenty of experience and would be a solid championship defender.

They'll be off, there's a long way to go yet.
18 May 2012 19:48:09
i for one want to see these players that don't want to sign to fu=k off and let us move forward with the transfer money. There is some good players out there but warnock needs to move fast. Dieing to see some sort of shape coming togeather with are team. WE ARE LEEDS, LEEDS,LEEDS. mot4life
You are so right mate - anyone that doesnt want to stay or sign can do one - if you aint gunna live Leeds Utd then f### Off.

I for one think he'd be a great addition MOT
18 May 2012 17:55:23
Marcus Hahnemann anyone? Hes got alot of experience in PL and although hes getting on abit would be a good back for lonergan.
18 May 2012 17:50:16
Everton have released six players...any worth a punt?
18 May 2012 17:34:53
we should of kept grayson . if he gets Huddersfield promoted this season he will be 4 promotions behind warnock and only managed since 2005 no relegation's either . this season coming is going to be a relegation for warnock
Haha tbh with huddersfield he didnt have to do anything they was up there anyway and he already had the team there
Warnock has some good coaches behind him though which Grayson didnt because snodin and miller were absolute jokes and caused injuries. How many times last season did you hear about injuries happening during training? Too many for my liking. And grayson didn't work hard enough on fitness either which warlock definitely does every season so warnock is better than Grayson but I must say that in 10 years time when Grayson is more experienced and has a good backroom staff then I would be more than happy to have him back at Elland Road
Christ on a bike mate, you're a little ray of sunshine aint ya? I bet your glass is always half empty. Mine isn't it's Friday and is full of lovely Stella. Cheer up son and keep the faith. MOT
I agree Grayson shouldn't have been sacked but he has been and we need to move on. We should all give Warnock a chance and get behind him. We won't be relegated but I don't think promotion's going to be easy looking at the way things are going with players rejecting deals. Bates has a lot to answer for and there's some mid less optimism on this site. People calling players greedy when they're just asking for the going rate for the job they do. Not like they're making Rooney money is it?
What a happy soul you are!
Haha,theyre ought to be another site for the Leeds United desponds,never happy whatever happens,cheer up FFS,keep the faith,let Warnock do his job.
Grayson is gone so get over it. I bet you're still crying about O'Leary. It's all about the future not the past.
Stella is not lovely. Get a proper pint of Yorkshire beer down yer neck...
It will be his 3rd, Blackpool, Us and maybe Uddersfield
Hudds will not beat sheff becos when it matters, they always choke and when they don't and sell rhodes. We will see that grayson did us proud but is only good for league 1, just like warnock is known for being the master of the championship. So right man for the job or do you want us in league 1. mot4life
18 May 2012 17:20:53
How about signing James McFadden from everton been released reckon he could do a job at Leeds
I hope you are NW visiting this site to kill some time. Would be an excellent signing.

if we miss out on joel ward what about jack hunt from huddersfield if they dont get promoted? looked really good in the two legs vs mk dons and he has 10 assists from rb this season plus hes still young!
18 May 2012 16:54:33
So Joel Ward's waiting on the outcome of tomorrow's play-off final, apparently.
Forget him Warnock! He's messed us about, move on now. There's plenty more out there.
Agree, withdraw offer and find someone else.
18 May 2012 16:50:39
Grant Holt officially hands in transfer request. Source:Ssn
Very good player. Any 1 see him coming to leeds?
That's cos he's looking to go to a bigger club!!
Theres talk of him playing for England, been one of the top forwards in the premier, think there would be at least 10 premier league sides in front of us and then i dont think we could afford to pay tax bill never mind his wages
In short no. i'm fairly sure he'll want to stay in the prem after having a ecent season there.
He's only done it because he thinks that if he's playing for a more prestigious club his chances of playing for England will be increased! He spoke often that he felt he should be picked for Euros, but when he didn't will have blames current club Norwich!
So all in all.. Chances of a move to Leeds is about the same as Messi signing for Hartlepool! ;)

18 May 2012 16:27:12
I say we should get Thomas Hitzlsperger down to Thorpe Arch and get the physios working on him none stop so we can have him as our midfield dynamo!! Rocket of a left foot and a class overall midfielder!!
Youngie
18 May 2012 16:15:23
The reason that Joel Ward has not signed yet is becuase Blackpool have put an offer in for him so he is waiting to see the outcome of Play off final. If Blackpool don't go up, then he will sign for us most likely.
Source: Phil Hay twitter (YEP leeds united reporter)
Toby Gray
I just can't believe we find ourselves in a situation where we are less attractive than Blackpool . had someone of told me this would happen 10 years ago i would of laughed at them and told them to f off .if we don't watch out notts county will be more attractive than us in another 5 years .i think ward will now sign for blackpool as they show more ambition than leeds and play better football than us we are a joke and we are heading the wrong direction
Er,if Blackpool go up theyll be able to pay him a lot more,AND of course theyll be in the premiere league, doh.
Warnock should have already told him to get on his bike! Once we're back up (which I 100% think will be this season), we'll be staying up a lot longer than Blackpool IF they do go up. On top of that, his alleged best buddy's already here!
We only want people who genuinely want to wear the white shirt. That also goes for players taking their time over signing contract extensions. Show you want to play for Leeds or on your way.
^ My thoughts
18 May 2012 15:16:19
Apparently bates is signing the first ever football team of monkey's because he can pay them peanuts !
18 May 2012 14:47:34
Very frustrated! People are saying We should bring in the likes of Beckford and other strikers but if we can't offer McCormack a top deal, how can we off someone better a top deal? I know it's only the start of the transfer window but this is happening in every transfer window, we lose our best players and we bring in frees.
From a very concerned Leeds fan!
NW said Ross was going to be a bit part player next year, so is he worth a top deal to us, or does his Agent (I'm god and the be all, end all off football) think he is worth a top deal, ross is easily replaceable already within the ranks, becchio get a good preseason and somma, we will be saying McWho next year! plus sign backs and 19 goals per year won't get him into our reserves!
Mark14
If they wanna come to Leeds then thats in there hands, if its about the money then they wont. We want players that are gonna play for the shirt
18 May 2012 14:41:46
Guy's i know there's 3 months to go, however i am worried, First time in years we get a decent player in early, and now what Nothing just excuses.
Let snodgrass; white ;Mc C go, Lets cash in on them, Bates please do something Gj
I agree it would be good to keep snodgrass, but clayton, white and mccormack are all easily replaceable, look at all the players being release and still lots more to come, get shut and get them replaced in warnock we trust (o.w)
18 May 2012 14:19:42
Ed any chance of a overall list tof players that are looking likely to be joining Leeds? {Ed013's Note - Unfortunately I can't get into Neil's brain and to be honest that is best as hopefully the players that he wants won't get snapped up by someone else}
18 May 2012 14:19:24
Beckford would be good but his style of play does not suit the fans. Leeds fans gave him no end of abuse calling him a lazy sh*t etc. Then when he scored the goal that got us promoted everyone praised him. Would love to see him back but his problem is he has to play with another st eg becchio but NW played on the last day of the season 4-5-1 with mcormack on LW.
Mot
Mcormack has rejected contract on ssn
18 May 2012 14:39:55
Leeds go get BECKFORD NOW!!!
Leicisisiter have got Vardy

18 May 2012 13:50:02
anyone think it could be worth putting bids in for a couple of rangers players. they have a few decent players and could get them for cheap with the situation they are in.
Theyve got a transfer embargo so won't be getting rid of many playrers
Sone aluko top quality player
But would welcome 'biggish bids' to help their finances
18 May 2012 13:49:28
Sell McCormack, Snodgrass and Clayton. Get the compo from White and use that money to build the team, should get about £6m-£7m for them four. If they don't want to stay then fine but they will be sorry if the don't go to a prem club because in 12 months time we WILL be a prem club.
Best thing i have read all Month :-)
6 to 7M for all 4? You are joking? More like 9 to 10M in my opinion.
Get 6 for snoddy if we sell now 1 to 2 for clayton ,1.5 comp for white and around 2 for mccormack i would hope for more like 3-4 mil for mccormack if Huddersfield get 4 for Rhodes
Original post is right though the amount of good players around they can all be replaced especially if we pay for some of them!! o.w
18 May 2012 13:34:19
just heard that Bolton have released Ricardo Gardner and Ivan Klasnic... Come on NW Klasnic and Beckford up front next season would be imense.
I live 5 mins from horwich wonderers sorry I mean Bolton and have been to a few games ( for free of course ) klasnic is carp he is slow lazy poor on and off the ball and looks very tired and old. I don't think he would be worth a go at all. Sam rickets is Pretty good tho he'd be a good buy.
Chorley White
18 May 2012 13:28:35
Just thought I would post something for all us LUFC fans to consider - if we were to look at the lower divisions, who would you like to see snapped up by Leeds? There must be a whole host of players more than worthy of stepping up to the Championship and giving better than what we have had the past year.
Torquay had 4 players in the PFA league two team of the year for example.
Come on, name those players who could make the step up to the Mighty Whites?
Personally I like that bostwick of stevenage and lewigintion of MK Dons.
Matt Ritchie - Swindon
Ah yes I quite like Lewington too
18 May 2012 13:01:30
Come on guys, no more doom and gloom posts about player sales. If we sell Snoddy, White, Clayton and Mcormack we would be looking at somewhere in the region of £5m in total transfer fees. With that we could comfortably get a squad more than capable of winning promotion. I mean for ffs we spent most of last season booing these players at ER and now we dont want them to go!!! White til I die.
I think we should be aiming for double that with the sale of those 4 players, i.e. 10M
Someone cant add up im glad your not manager we would be ripping ourselves off . 10 mil sounds more realistic and we could get a decent enough team to get promoted
True, the team were poor and couldnt cut it we needed a bit overhaul and were getting one, lets trust int eh manager. Hopefully this time next year we'll be saying RM who?
18 May 2012 13:00:13
Let's face it mcormack is a good but only average player and he played for a average championship team last term. We now need to be looking at the future now and the best person to do this with his incredible knowledge is warnock. Snodgrass will sign his deal and leeds will replace mcormack with a natural and talented goalscorer. Rumours growing fast on the beckford fronyt he his in my opinion his top class. MOT forever.
Average he scored 19 goals playing with a team that didn't know what to do with the ball . had he of played for reading he would of scored double . we will miss him next season.if we sell mccormack for 1 mil and bring in another player for 1 mil and give him a 10,000 pw wage we will be paying the same amount over 4 yrs new player
1,000,000 520,000 4 yrs 3,080,000
mccormack at 15 k pw
780,000 4 yrs 3,123,000
Snoddy wont sign for a team thats got no quality .
18 May 2012 12:41:55

If Ross wants to go then....BYE

If White wants to go then ....BYE
Greedy b.....d's
We need and want players who want to play for Leeds. Any one on 5grand plus should be doing summersaults and to play for leeds then even better.
Get on the elland rd turf, kick some arse, how much better can you get ! Then get 10 grand at the end of the week..FANTASTIC.
"T"
by the way Niel I'm availible from july 1st, and I'll play for free all day long..
I agree as does every Leeds fans that you would sell your left arm and still play for free for Leeds United. But alot of players are not Leeds fans and dont have that desire and are driven by money.
I also agree we need to bring in players that want to play for us, but they still need to have quality about them, and for quality you have to be willing to pay, especially if the player is weighing up their options and money to them is a factor.
Theoretically if Leeds and Scum had the same wage budget and we were still in the championship and we were after the same player, if scum valued his wages at 30K but Leeds at 100K he would choose the money despite the division of football they would be playing.
All well and good saying that but problem is no one wants to play for us we pay s**t and expect everything
People have said this many times. But if you were on £5000 a week and somebody offered you £20000 a week what would you do? Think about it logically!
Why is it when ever a player wants to leave he is greedy, maybe he just has more ambitions then to play for a very average mid table championship side, maybe they can see we are so far away from the prem, that they are never going to get there with Leeds and they just want to test themselves higher up the league
Very well said!
People are deluded if they think players will stay "to play for the shirt". Unfortunately nowadays players are ruled by money and if they think that they are good enough they will ask for more and if they don't get it, then they will move to a club that will pay.
I wouldn't sell my left arm to play for Leeds, but then again, I'm a goalie! But I know what you mean. Maybe my left testicle!
Come on though, its hard to make 5k last you a week...
Five grand a week? Ha ha ha , Im a plumber and i wouldnt get me spanners out for any less, let alone kick a footy round.
Maybe Paul Rachubka sold his left arm to join us
I will be amazed if becchio doesn't put in a transfer request in the next few weeks . can't see him wanting to stay after we lose all the other top players.
Less of the doom & gloom ffs. It's May 18th for crying out loud!
Becchio will still be here, as will Snoddy till Christmas at least, If the rest want more they know where the door is. they arent irreplaceable, but KB needs to make sure it goes back ito the squad
18 May 2012 11:13:56
remember Neil alluded to McCormack being a bit part player for next season, no wonder he won't sign a deal.
Yet he wants more money????
18 May 2012 10:43:05
If all the rumours are ture about RM, what are other top players we are trying to sign going to think.
I posted after we lost Beckford that more would follow if we do not tie down our best players on longer deals. In my opinion the best players should be given 4 year deals then renew ever 2 years if they don't renew after 2 years they are then sold but not at knock down prices as we saw with Howson.
And Bates calls himself a business man, don't make me laugh.
Good luck Warnock, you going to need it. Bates out
Sir Phillip.
Can't force people to sign for 4 years to begin with. Can't then force another team to buy them from you for a decent price if they don't extend after two. Face it, every player in the championship wants to be playing at a higher level. As long as we are a championship club players will be trying to run down contracts and move up a level. It's not nice, but it is how football works these days.
18 May 2012 10:35:18
Gretar Steinsson has been released by Bolton, would solve our problem at RB
Would be a great signing, However has he been released because he doesn't want to play in the championship?
TeejLUFC
18 May 2012 10:12:55
Just a question for anybody who can help, How much is the wage cap going to be for everyone in the championship this comeing season?15k? 20k? Just wanted to know the max any team can pay a player! Cheers S.T.W
{Ed013's Note - Owners will be allowed to invest £6 million next season, £5 million the year after that, then £3 million in the 2014-2015 season.
From 2015-2016, clubs will be allowed to make a £2 million operating loss, as well accept a £3 million investment from an owner – allowing for a £5 million overall loss.
I can't find the text book answer for the wages but I am lead to believe that it will be 20 grand a week max with an exception of 2 players only being able to get over that amount. Don't take this as the correct answer as I will do some more digging. It may be that each squad can only have a max of 3.5 million to spend on players wages and therefore if you have a smaller squad you can pay more wages}
No wonder players are rejecting contracts, they want their last big payday before the restrictions come in play.
But thats it, we not pay it (and I am sure other teams not too!) Thing is this is one thing that actually Papa Smurf and co have got wright. We have a solid business plan atm the min and truth is if teams stray away from being on the safe side they risk points deductions, fines and the right to sign players. this means that although a long way off and I don't want to sit in this league that long but as one of only 6 teams breaking even or better, we are laughing. However we just need that small investment (which I actually believe is there this year) to get the right players in. Truth is for the "Club" it wasn't the right time to go up last year, but got the fans its always the right time!
Lets judge Papa on the first game of the season to see if he has backed us or not, until then, new season, new start for ALL at the club!
Mark14
MOT
Theres no cap on wages at all if your club makes 30 mil you can spend that much thats all it is
I think the wage cap is maximum 60% of income and you are right Ed owners can only contribute a maximum sum towards the income.
Original poster here, thanx ed, just trying to figure out why people r turning down contract offers, do most of these players honestly think they can grace the premiership and play regular cos if they do they r deluded, or even bench warm in the prem is past most of them, they would b lucky to make most squads at all, its just the money they want but the prem doesnt have enough room for all these chancers! S.T.W
Is it like the American leagues then, arent they allowed two palyers that exceed the wage cap?

I can't believe the negativity of some people considering it's only May 18th. If McCormack wants to go, get the fee for him & let him. That goes for White & Snodgrass too.
The HUGE difference this summer is called Neil Warnock. If there was the faintest possibility of this going the same way as last summer he would be GONE. Contrary to what some idiots would have you believe, his interviews still sound extremely positive.
It's only May 18th, exactly THREE MONTHS to the start of the season. We've already made one signing and a cracking one at that. Sit tight, smile, and enjoy the ride back to the promised land.
I really feel that players are living in cloud cuckoo land, Can they not see the average working man is struggling to make ends meet during this recession yet they still pay their money out each week to support them. I do think we all know that there is no loyalty to any club, they just take the money and jump ship when they have an odd good season. Let them all go and lets bring in players that are proud to wear the Leeds shirt.
Totally agree.
Its ok saying that but why should the players not get extra money when all the people above them are getting pay rises each year . if the players don't take a big rise the chairman will just pocket that money so someone that is working hard for it should get that money rather than an old fart that's sitting on his ass in Monaco
He still sounds positive because barring Snoddy, he knows the players are not as good as they think they are.
I'd even include Snodgrass in the category of players who aren't as good as they think they are. He started and finished the season in terrible form. We've never had much more than a good half-season from him. When you look back to our League One team, he was on the bench when we beat scum at old scaffold (ok he came on & rattled the crossbar) and he was on the bench when we beat Bristol Rovers to win promotion. If he could play to his full potential for a full season then he WOULD be a Premiership footballer.
And on the subject of Joel Ward, this has dragged on long enough now. If I were Warnock I'd be giving him the finger and moving on to a new target.

Don't think it's a case if what Leeds can offer is more of what Leeds are willing to offer

why are people taking what YEP writes as gospel, they write anything in that, just to get you reading and posting garbage, I still feel we will keep mccormack, snoddy and white (even if i would personally get rid of white, do not rate him)
In warnock we trust, its on the 18th MAY and yet we are getting write off, I do not think we should sign beck ford, money grabbing sod, somma should be back remember his form before he got that bad injury.
Looking forward to the summer ahead, warnock will not be silly he will have people watching the euros closely. just taken 10/1 leeds to win the league, sure thing I think.

Bye bye ross nobody is bigger than the club and especially not you my son So good riddance i say same goes for clayton aswell and any other player that decides to use are club as a stepping stone in warnock i trust! Dale mot 4 ever
Hes not saying hes bigger than the club . even if he asked for 20 k pw hes worth it . he works so hard and he is not injury prone
People say that about Ross, but theyd welcome Beckford back with open arms, just saying
Yes we appear to be stepping stone for many players today!
Sub player this season yet you think he's worth top wages now in the prem? ok

My main priorities would be if McCormack goes:
Jermaine Beckford
Luke Varney
DJ Campbell
Good post but we can only hope Gj

Please stay McCormack!! {Ed013's Note - Why? if he wants to go bye bye. No player is bigger than the club}
Well said Ed {Ed013's Note - Thanks, I cant find the article anywhere so maybe it is more lies. Time will tell}
It is in the YEP {Ed013's Note - Yes time was quick on this occasion, I have found it and he wont be offered better terms so expect offers from other clubs over the summer}
After last season I don't care if we're watching a complete new 1 to 11 come August. To be fair McCormack was my player of the season - but even he wasn't out of this world. Nobody is irreplaceable.
Stupid excuse for not paying better wages is that (no player is bigger than the club) 15k pw is what a striker at leeds united should be on atleast . we are a team that wants promotion yet don't want to pay the wages for the players with the ability to get us there. all we needed was 4 or 5 new top players to play along side mccormack ,clayton, white ,becchio and snoddy ,we have brought in a top cb but if the 4 players go we need another 8 top players which i can't see us getting for less than we are paying now as other teams that are willing to pay 20 k pw will be in for the top players aswell .
Ed-Well said mate!! Marching on! - Mac {Ed013's Note - M.O.T}
