Hi Ed,I posted yesterday about my not
wanting Diouf at our wonderful club.
Today I am a little worried.I have spent
a not inconsiderable amount of money
buying an all singing,all dancing,solar
powered radio controlled watch and I
have just checked the time on it and
it shows 19:07,this has to be wrong as
LUFC,according to some of our previous
posters,were due to announce the
takeover at 15:00.Sorry for my long
winded rant but I wish people would
stick to the truth

Right ppl ENOUGH is ENOUGH Now with all the Bull%*$t, I for one am sick to the back teeth of hearing that this that and the other are taking over, or you and your none existing source told you that ? The fact of the matter is NO ONE HAS GOT A CLUE.! Yes its a rumour site but plz come on and get some sort of GRIP, Some of you must just get off building ppls hopes up then seeing all the disappointment in their messages. We are all eager to find out the TRUTH, But time will tell. And no doubt it will NONE of all the speculated rubbish floating around......So lets all just show a little PATIENCE.........MOT

Ladies and gentleman I know this is a rumour site but at the end of the day no one person on this site or anybody knows what the hell is going off. Ken bates and a few others know what is happening, I would be surprised if Neil warnock knew regarding the takeover.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Neil knows whats going on, the fact he hasn't already walked is a positive sign...

like i said i nevet had a source all i said was what was being put on t***er. common sense tells me something wil happen in next cpl week otherwise warnock would hav done one. warnock has prob lined up who he wants and wil complete all his signings as soon as takeover is complete and it must happen in next cpl week before they all come bk for trainin.

I cannot seem to find these tweets although I do not have a twitter. So if I google paddy Kenny twitter he has two twitter accounts that pop up but I don't see any of these mentioned tweets. {Ed013's Note - Try Patrick Kenny or look for our account and find him that way @LeedsEditors}

Major honest gut feeling, I have no source just my opinion. I think Leeds will get taken over before the end of the month by an American consortium, Paddys and Peltiers deals have stalled and calmed down because of it and Kenny is keeping us all on the edge of our seats via twitter. He is waiting for Leeds to get taken over so we can have the funds to buy players like Kenny and Peltier.

22 Jun 2012 17:23:16
Don't think we have the funds to buy Paddy Kenny that's why we have signed frees, as the days go by me thinking this takeover is just a dream, prove me wrong Leeds

Hi everyone!! Can anyone figure this one out for me? I've just been doing some plumbing work at Bradford city stadium. As I was walking to my van I saw ken bates in the car park laughing with some suits. He looked really happy. I don't know if this means anything or if he is just visiting someone. Any body heard anything? This could be a stab in the dark but hopefully he has sold Leeds and made loads of money ( that's why he's happy) and he's looking for some more fans to annoy. Which will make him even happier.

( note to ed. how come you don't post my rumours. I think it was late December I posted that I saw Fabian Delph at Elland road but you never put it on the site. A few weeks after he signed on loan. Yet you let others put absolute nonsense on here that will never happen. I've only typed what I've seen.) {Ed013's Note - I don't know what you are talking about}

It'll have to be Keith Harris & Orville instead.

Apparently, a statue of Mark Beeney is going to be erected following a board meeting at Elland Road.

Very funny - Mark - you were decent cover mate but little else - your Chelsea and you know you are - Bates may pop a statue up in the goal - be similar to your movement back in the day

AN ICE RINK?!?!

Seriously Leeds United, an ICE RINK. Is it just me that see why we're currently the butt of all jokes in the football league?! I can't stand this, you wait for progress news on players or development on the investment/takeover and we're told Ken Bates is adding to his Beeston Olympic Park plan.

I can see it on the website now "Why not come and enjoy the festive season by watching the "Leeds United Story ON ICE" Featuring, Ken Bates, Peter Lormier and Ben Fry. Write up by Phil Hay says 5/5!

It's a joke :'(

Still MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Don't think the ice rink is anything to do with us other than our future neighbour. We dont own elland road, ( the street) and anyone can buy land get planning permission and build something there if they so desire with it being nothing to do with leeds united.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its going to be located on Elland Rd - not part of Leeds United portfolio as I read it.

Agree1 Disagree0

It is the council building the ice rink on council owned land. nothing to do with Bates. JD

Anybody who's bothered about how long due diligence is taking, have a look at when RBS took over ABN AMRO and see how that turned out. I can tell you it wasn't pretty. Enough said

im just thinking of posts on here today ref mccormack going to huddersfield.
now if all is well takeover/investor wise then him going is good news.because that means warnock is aiming for better to come in.
if he thought mccormack was great we would up his money with investment.even though i would never knock mccormack lets face it theres far better out there...shrew leeds

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Not being funny, but Ross McCormack, the good player that he is, isn't fanstastic is he? He didnt get picked for Scotland squad and we saw towards the end of last season that he gives up and beats himself up after a lost ball too much.

Agree2 Disagree0

When Ross was with Cardiff he was O.K but nothing special. Would have him back but again as a squad player only.

We have to be realistic, players are just employees at the end of the day, as we all are. Which one of us wouldn't go to work elsewhere if there was more pay? This doesn't mean that we don't give our all for our current employer or that we aren't passionate about them, but get real, which "true blue" Leeds player would play for free just for the privilege of playing for the mighty whites? No-one, we all get up in a morning for the pay packet.
Chris

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Sorry, this was meant to be in reply to the rumour that Ross is off to Huddersfield and that he's only going for the money and we don't want players like that at Leeds. Blame my advancing years for failing to come to grips with technology!

Ed just responding to the poster who said a top quality striker was on his way to ER, a striker who has played at all levels.
Trying to be a Sherlock Holmes, I am wondering if he means Jay Bothroyd? Now this is one signing Id really love. Mind you Im probably so wide of the mark that I'll look like Eamonn Holmes!
Id also like the Danny Guthrie rumour to be right would also make a great signing. MOT Ron. {Ed013's Note - I was thinking the same}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Robert Earnshaw fits the bill too but I can't see it being him!

Agree0 Disagree3

OWEN - The only top notch striker that has played at every level (would be phenomenal at this level 25+ goals)

Agree0 Disagree3

Owen thinks far too much of himself to drop down to Leeds. either will stay in prem with Stoke or Everton, seek a big payday abroad or retire.

Question for Ed (and all LUFC fans also)

I have heard a few rumours today that there will be a press conference today at Elland Road. Do you know if there is any truth in this or is it just some idiots spreading sh*t to make them look good??

Would be nice if it was true, I would welcome some news about takeover/investment or even a player unveiling. Would be a good start to the weekend and cheer me up on this wet Friday in Yorkshire.

Sankey.I (better dead than red) {Ed013's Note - I have heard nothing other than the rumours on here. I will have a look around and see what is going on, but my gut feeling is its bored people making stuff up. If there is one today then I apologise in advance}

And I'll end up having to eat my cat Ed.... Make it happen and keep Bert the ginger alive :)

22 Jun 2012 09:30:28
Regardless of whether the takeover goes through or not, if the rumours of Danny Guthrie coming to Leeds are true then I think our central midfield will be in good shape for next season. He is a quality CM for this level in my opinion, really hoping these rumours are true but not overly confident!

Just seen David oleary, Alan smith, Paul Robinson and Jonathan woodgates at wooly edge services having a FEB.... They told me they were disgusted at the lack of rumours about their imminent return recently and they have clubbed together and decided to buy Leeds united. They are all planning to play with oleary managing.... They must be taking it serous next year as I noticed none had fried bread or black pudding their plates... Let the good times roll
