Something else I would like to say, I for one ridiculed Chris Wood and Taylor for going to Burnley, at the time I recall calling them Las Burnley and why would he want to go there! Well for the record I was wrong and I’m sorry because Burnley are a well run club, owned by a bloody good chairman who has all the fans at heart, they have a great set up and a top class loyal manager and they are hoping for Europe, so well done Wood and Taylor as I can now see why you left for Burnley and hopefully one day we can emulate and follow Burnley’s fully deserved success.

Can't argue with that Mike, just wish we could be stable and have some success.

They’re a very well run club and have been fantastic this season, Wood has scored a few. Taylor got in the team for a few weeks, but watching motd, he not playing recently, is he injured or dropped? How do they do it, only get 10-15,000 at home games.

Burnley do it as they don't have Orta bringing in second rate playes picked a good manager and allow him to bring his own players in and Radz making stuupid decisions like giving unproven playerss ridiculously long contracts then slamming them for being p-ss poor pathetic new badge and sticking with Orta after seeing him ruin what we had lst year instead of adding quality to what we had then spends half a million to poach Heck from Barnsley one cock up after another yes we have some good young uns coming through but imo need to strengthen 1st team now can't see Orta and Heck giving us what we want

gate revenues are a very small factor now in football club financing - the majority of money comes from elsewhere like TV deals. LUFC got a windfall of around £7m in revenue from TV last year - one of the biggest in the league but we choose to waste all our money on rubbish. I just go down the tip or the sewage works on a Saturday afternoon these days - there is less cr@p

Program on Sky Sports 402 tonight at 10pm called “Ken Bates: The Chelsea Years” follow the story of Ken Bates Chairman of Chelsea who guided them from second division football to playing in The Premiership and winning major trophies! After that at 11pm there should be another program, “Ken Bates: The Leeds Years” where he transformed us from a Championship club into a relegated league one club with no money and with no idea who actually owns us, his greed nearly cost us our club and sold us making a massive profit leaving us nowhere and in more debt! Put that on bloody Sky and let’s see him for who he really is!

I found it bizzare that he spent all that money on those hospitality boxes in the East Stand instead of buying the ground back. I always wondered if he part owned the ground all the time but kept it under wraps.

The devil incarnate. Came to Leeds with the sole intention of putting us out of business. And damn nearly did. Allegedly my lawyers told me to add

Attended that game kly. think they may have been promoted that day . horrible atmosphere as most games were back then . seemed to spend that period watching other seemingly smaller, less deserving but almost certainly better run clubs than ours getting promoted while we floundered. remember going to stoke two years running for our usual early kick off to avoid trouble and losing 6-2 and 7-2.so it’s not quite as bad as it used to be

Question for Lucas, I’m your two bets a year man and the grand national picks are names me Nan likes. But seems a certainty that McBurnie will score against us on Saturday so how do I best invest my £5 wager?

Dear Co92. Thanks for your question, it's a very interesting one and certainly one I will advise upon. My prediction for Saturday is a 3-2 loss for the not so mighty whites. The Leeds scorers will be Roofe and Alioski. I totally agree with you, McBurnie getting at least one for the southerners. Barnsley to win 3-2 and Oli McB to score anytime is 45/1 on my investment consultants website, bills hills. I do hopes this answers your questions satisfactorily and I'd highly recommend putting more than a lady godiva on it, you could try to stretch to your car or maybe even your house. Good luck and best regards, Lucas.

Hi Ed, I think martyn is asking you out on a date 💙

{Ed001's Note - so long as he pays I am easy mate. In fact even if he doesn't pay. I think Berm and Grip have destroyed any self-respect I once had!}

19 Apr 2018 20:11:52
Lucas what can I say, I am at this very moment evaluating everything I own including my signed Carl Shutt shirt ( really) Mrs Class is playing up as usual about no such thing as a cast iron investment then blow me down along comes Ed001 and with Martyn as security I cannot fail ! Wish I had more but realising all assets (damn you Carl Shutt why didn’t you score more! ) I’m up to £1,33.97 It’s a huge decision so I need to be sure who I go with here, Lucas proven track record and ED001 backed by Martyn . phone a friend time me thinks . Anybody got Mr Orta’s mobile number ?

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - that Carl Shutt shirt must be priceless, I doubt anyone else will have kept one, even his mother....}

19 Apr 2018 21:08:43
Carl Shutt signed shirt eh, probably worth more to a Stuttgart fan 😂. I can advise his phone number. It may seem a bit strange but if you put it into an old style phone with the alphabet those clever enough will soon realise it’ll become unforgettable. 05822747463.

There are a large number of turf accountants on your local high street that are more than happy to take your hard earned cash. Beware though - they have 3 paying in windows and only 1 paying out window for a reason.

Ours is going to have 4 paying in Windows and 0 paying out Windows Alf. We will be millionaires by this time next year 😉

The noises being made by the Manager regarding Hernandez don't sound great. I have to say from a personal point of view I will be disappointed if he leaves, I know we don't know how the negotiations go, but surely this could have been done and dusted and the Club would be starting the summer business on a positive note.

{Ed001's Note - perhaps get Berm to do half time entertainment? That would 'perk' you up....}

You've got a good memory Ed. Unfortunately

{Ed001's Note - actually my memory is terrible but some things, much as we would like to do so, cannot be forgotten.}

19 Apr 2018 08:09:39
Good morning Gents, Just a thought when we watch Barnsley on Saturday, we might get a preview of what we are about to morph into next season if Heckingbottom stays. We are being linked to more than one of their current squad.

Agree Whiteman, hard to see anything but a struggle next year if he stays.

19 Apr 2018 20:13:34
Good post Mr Whiteman, as always straight to the point of fact! If Rockbottom gets us to top ten then to him and what he has achieved is a an achievement! Great managers are not found managing bottom of the table teams, then taking those players to his new team can only result in another bottom of the league team!

Agree1 Disagree2

Sackingbottom has 10 points from 13 games I think. well done you backers. Enjoy the dark ages coming back again! Even Millwall could get promoted!

Are they all from your own sticker collections Ed? I often lament the fact cereal doesn’t come with a prize anymore - we used to base our selection purely on that when we were kids. What happened to that anyway?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't have any sticker collections any more and cereals do still come with a prize. Well they do here anyway as I still base my choice on the best prize. Though I never did complete my Last Jedi pencil tops collection! I do have a few panini sticker packets to open when I get round to it though. Trying to be mature and wait until I open the cereal before I get the prize these days!}

19 Apr 2018 23:17:32
If you do that you risk someone else getting there first though! I will have to investigate this in more detail when I’m next in Moggys
