Want: people to get off the owners backs

Expects: a decent game to watch i. e on the ground passing

Dreading: poor attendences again, then listing to people say we r a big club

Agree0 Disagree0

Enjoyable attacking football
Promotion
Same as last season, crap football and no investment from careless ownets

Agree0 Disagree0

My dread is titus bramble

Agree0 Disagree0

Wants : to sign someone I've actually heard of

Expects : promotion

Dreading : takeover pt. 2

Agree0 Disagree0

Wants: none of the part time fans back (this does not include people that can't afford it, just the ones that hide behind every other excuse ie Bates then Warnock now GFH not spending or doing well in there roles).

Expectations: Good football, all the core 15-20000 loyal fans to do us proud again especially away.

Dreads: all these part time persons coming back if we do well and all claiming how die hard they are and how massive our club is.

Agree0 Disagree0

When's the new away shirt out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't know when it's out. But the rumour in the LUFC shop, when I asked today was that it would be blue and gold. Similar to training kit

Agree0 Disagree0

And it has 'Sponsored by Norwich City' on the back.

Agree0 Disagree0

How could it be blue and gold when our third shirt will be last seasons away one which was blue unless we are getting rid of the third shirt and just using an away one all season.

Agree0 Disagree0

What do u think ed. {Ed013's Note - Not sure mate, I am just back from the States so will do some digging. I have a feeling it will have a gold theme}

The huge problem with BMcD looking in the lower leagues for these hidden gems is that as soon as they become good for us the bigger boys will come poaching and we'll have to sell again, therefore causing unrest amongst the fans as we begin to sell more talent which we'd like to see stay at ER. Previous managers have done the same, Snoddy, Johnson etc etc. I suppose unless we get the promotion all of us crave we'll have to live in the shadow of the PL teams and accept that we have to sell to survive. No rumour here - i'd rather wait until I see a player holding the beautiful white shirt above their head than salivate over which players we 'should' or 'could' sign.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Partly agree although if we can't get promotion, hopefully we'll at least make some profit. I for 1 have faith that mcd knows what he's doing and proved with reading he is more than capable of getting his teams playing good football and getting promotion. we ALL need to have faith and let him AND GFH show what they can do whatever the budget. let's have some positivity on here until we're proven wrong for ince. its still very early days fir transfers

All championship clubs are feeder clubs to premiership just as league 1 & 2 are to us & championship clubs, I bet brentford hate forrester being linked with a move away. But until we are a top 4 team we will always have to sell to a bigger club, its the way football works i. e. nasri & clichy to man city. Van persie to.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good post, its just a sad fact in the modern era, that when teams such as Crystal Palace, Norwich, Hull ect get into the Prem, they can only compete with the lower half teams already there. The problem for teams in the Championship, is that we are all subject to these type of teams coming in for our best young players because they have the money to spend and they can't expect to compete with the Top half teams in terms of buying 10 mill plus players, so they come in for the best from the Championship Or the cheaper imports. They usually need at least 6 or 7 new players, just to survive, unlike the Elite teams that usually can buy the Top players from home and abroad. The mold can be broken for a well run smaller club with a good manager, such as Swansea. Hopefully Swansea can be a role model for us to build up to.

I like how Doyle said that he's not coming to leeds, which is a relief to me. But he should of said the truth, BM told him that he wouldn't be in his plans but papers make it sound like Doyle said no. And I love this site and the rumours but no one predicted the Matt Smith signing until the day before so I think BM will surprise us. IMO I hope he keeps looking down the leagues for players who would be getting a dream move wearing the white shirt, (white with a weird blue line). MOT, Vinny.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why would McD sign a player that would not be in his plans. either you or McD have totally lost the plot, I pray its you.

Agree0 Disagree0

Vinny I replied to your post about 6. 30 this morning and I think I misread it. I appologise

This summers quieter than a library during be quiet week!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

You didn't expect anything else did you?we have no money wish fans on here would get there heads around this!

Agree0 Disagree0

How do you know we have no money

Agree0 Disagree0

We know because we've spend nothing so far.

Agree0 Disagree0

For the last three years I have said " we have no money " in both transfer windows and not been proved wrong yet. Watch Byram go relatively cheaply on transfer deadline day too as all our best players do - Norwich anyone?

Agree0 Disagree0

Very bored of the rumours about bringing former players back. The past should be the past, and we should move forward. There's more players out there.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I disagree. I would take Beckford and Becchio back. If we had the chance i'm sure we'd take Snoddy, Gradel and Delph back aswell. That's a big IF though.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd take johnson back in an instant, but can't see that one happening!

Agree0 Disagree0

Delph errr no thanks he's proving weekly how poor he really is

Agree0 Disagree0

I saw Delph a few times towards the end of the season and he was excellent and a Villa season ticket holder who I work with says he's done well all season in what was a very poor team

Agree0 Disagree0

Johnson back? Must be joking. Beckford No! Snodgrass No! Howson definitely No!
Becchio No! Players shouldn't be coming back. Only two players that I have ever seen coming back and playing well and making a difference were John Charles and David Batty (until he was injured).

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd never take howson back he was pure sh•t I was glad to see the back of him there was never anything spectacular about him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Snodgrass no. you must be jokeing
