I was very dubious regarding GFH but I felt the saving grace was once they had delved through Bates many scams and offshore companies we would be a lot easier to sell on hopefully!

lets hope big things will happen in the summer with leeds, I think the owners are planning for next season already who ever is in charge will surely ring in the changes squad wise. been looking at the out of contract players for the summer and there is some premier league players that may step down a league to prove thier worth.
think a young manager is needed and as long as they keep blooding out team of young talent like byram etc then we should be ok.

Personally I do not think the owners are planning for next season, I think they are planning for a quick sale. Where are they? why was the Q&A session cancelled? why has it not been rearranged? why is Warnock still in charge? because ultimately they are not going to be around any longer than Warnock if their plan comes to fruition.

" I think the owners are planning for next season "

I think that should read:

I think the owners are planning to sell us and make a big profit for themselves next season

heres what i'd like to see happen. get adkins signed up even if we leave warnock in charge till the end of the season. i'd then sell byram to man city for 8 million. I know he is probably a future england international but we need the cash if we are to get to the premier league. with the 8 million re-invested in the squad and spent wisely we should have one of the strongest squads in the league. players i'd like to see signed are:

johnny russell - dundee utd - 2 mill
gary mackay-steven - dundee utd - 2 mill
alan hutton - mallorca - free/nominal
kirk broadfoot - blackpool - free
graham dorrans - wba - free
albert adamoah - bristol city - 3 mill
young dutch midfielder at chelsea - season long loan

thats 7 million spent leaving 1 million for signing on fees. gfh only need to cover the increase in wages which would come from higher gates due to a more attractive style of football and success on the pitch. not rocket science. what do you think?

I think your mad, why sell byram now he's under a long term contract. We won't go up by selling our best players as we've proven over the last 2 yrs.

OP here. 1 player out and 6 in. its no brainer and we ain't got a pot to piss in

Adomah 3 mill? seriously? maybe 1 mill, don't fancy Hutton, never really fulfilled potential. If someone opens the bidding at 8 mill for Sam I would hold out for 12 mill but hopefully next owners will have some cash behind them and we won't need to sell.

From the look of things NW could be here for the rest of the season, if, as reported GFH are in negotiations to either sell the club outright, or a percentage, the new owners will want to bring their own man in, we could be heading for months of uncertainty again, no investment and NW as custodian, what a horrible thought, GFH were never in it for the long haul, just a quick profit, now there's little chance of promotion, looks like they're doing a runner, God forbid its Bates to take over the reins again, so come on you investors great club, great fans great potential, splash the cash.

Bates has never let go of the reins. GFH are just a front for him. I've said this before - if they really had bought out Bates why on earth would they leave the most hated person in the history of our great club as some kind of 'father figure' to steer the club through the transition period. Bates out and bring your GFH partners with you.

Id like a manager that goes about his business quietly and let's the football do the talking. I don't want a loud-mouth tv personality who loves the limelight. let's get a manager who nurtures the youth combined with some level headed experience and chooses a worthy captain who will galvanise the squad and give them a good kick up the ar*e if they are not performing well enough. Is that too much to ask GFH?

So you want Adkins eh!

So Paul green says the only reason he signed was because Warnock was in charge and he hopes he stays, the only reason he wants Warnock to stay is because he knows the new manager would clean up all the garbage and I'm sorry to say Paul you would be first because you are the biggest piece of garbage to put on a Leeds shirt, pity Warnock in charge didn't convince you to stay away because your free ride is coming to an end, its safe to say your s---e, bye bye, our clubs just to big for you, hey you never know Norwich might take you or maybe huddersfield {Ed013's Note - That is very harsh on Paul Green. He is no where near as bad as you are making him sound}

Greeny has been better than most, works his b*****ks off and has been a driving force this season, I think you have him confused with Micheal brown but then again he has been good as well, do you support a team in white and blue strips? Sour grapes
MOT

Eds notes are right BUT the lads right aswell green in defo not good enough for a leeds shirt. mot

Very harsh, think he's been one of the better players this season!

Becoming a familar trend. SO called Leeds fans talkin absolute crap on this site. Green has had a decent season and works tirelessy for the team with no shortage of quality. He and Byram seem to work well down the right side together. For me not many players have outshone him this season. Lees, Byram would be about it. OP probably one of the persons who thought Varney was useless at the start of the season only now to admit that he's a good player. Or one of those who slagged off Peltier and then after a few clean sheets while playing CB claiming we have found the perfect defence, which isn't true either. Ah as much as I enjot this site it pisses me off at the same time! Roll on next season. MOT

Green has been great this season! Tbh i've never seen two more hard working players in a leeds shirt than Green and Norris (recently, before somebody cries about players they watched in 1940s)

"I think you have him confused with Micheal brown but then again he has been good as well"

I think you have Brown confused with a footballer, mate, all I've seen him do is run around the pitch trying to kick the opposition and risk getting himself sent off practically every time he has played.

I for one am glad that he no longer starts in the team, at least we can keep 11 players on the pitch for most of the game that way.

Green tries hard and works hard, Brown certainly doesn't.

A managers job
Buy good players, some experienced, some up and coming talent.
Blood some of tbe academy players in our team.
Continuosly seek to improve the team
Motivate players
Keep crticism for the dressing room
Play players in their right position
Play as good as football as possible
Change the game plan if needbe
Pick a starting 11 and make substitutions as and when required
Shield players from the press
Play players you buy
Take the blame if things go wrong
Be certifiably sane
Neil, please tick when achieved.
Nothing to do with gfh, funds or players. Stop thinking of excuses for him.
We would have prob got promotion with a different manager as apart from 3 teams, tve rest are completely average and inconsistent.

Got to agree about taking the blame when things go wrong! NW just blames McCormack if it goes wrong! Adkins took the blame when we beat them 3-0
