Whatever happens atleast we are getting shot of the poor players at our club, still a few I know but I feel a smaller squad has better understanding and I suppose that's a start. In revie stand tomorrow so see ya there dudes. Will be at n10 area if ya wanna buy me a burger. Vinny.

Not a rumour I would just like to say although it is nice to see big money signings arrive I believe when some fans go on about spending loads it doesn't mean we will do well look at QPR they are doing rubbish. For me I believe we need hungry players trying to make their Mark on the game we love.
After all the players that have been taken out the club. I as a long standing fan, want to see some good players put back in. Why should we keep settling for average players, while good ones leave.
3 good players is all it will take, they don't have to be world beaters just good. Then your idea of bringing in young hungry players from lower down or academy, will work a treat then because then we would have players for them to learn off and grow into. What would they learn from half of this team?
GFH, do this and I and many others will be back in a flash. The reason why, is because we will BELIEVE AGAIN!!! Don't worry about getting promoted quick, just show ambition and look like we want it. that's all most of us ask and the money will pay for its self.
Is it going to be HIGHER OR LOWER in 5 days time? YOU DECIDE!!

The statement on the OS re; ''third bid rejected'', I do believe it is from Turkey however it is Trabsonspor, I feel we should all commend the club for the statement denying the bid is from Galatasary, in this one statement it makes it clear that LUFC will Not enter in to any sort of transaction with this scum.

anyone else think we should put a cheeky bid in for Birminghams Marlon King, Nathan Redmond and Curtis Davis- 5-6 mil for all 3 players?
Not marlon king but other two yes mate
What about chris burke he would fit straight into are side on right.

26 Jan 2013 21:13:47
Lets be realistic, there's what 4 days of transfer window left...chances are becchio will go at the end of the season despite the transfer request as he is still on contract..likelihood is that we won't make any top signings in this window, so stop kidding yourselves. We will finish the season as we are, if we go up, great, if not then Warnock will leave, so will becchio and we will get a new manager who is hopefully given a bit of cash...not many people want to do deals in January...so if we don't get behind the lads, Warnock or board will make panic buys and get in some complete pile of rubbish. come on you whites, let's beat another prem side!

thursday 11pm innit...that simple - call me gullible but I got that butterfly feeling that by that time we will make a signing that will give us all faith for the first time since we knocked out man united in the FA Cup - oh please god let one of 'em be Max !! {Ed013's Note - They have to make 1 or 2 signings mate, I wouldn't expect the World due to Summer being a big window}

Mis à l'essai il why a une dizaine de jours par le club anglais de Leeds United FC, François Marque avait retrouvé l'Igesa cette semaine. Mais l'entraineur du club outre-match souhaite revoir le défenseur bastiais à l'oeuvre.

For me why don't we put in a bid for Vydra at Watford? He is on loan there. Not sure if you can bid on a player that is on a season long loan so please correct me on this. If so then maybe he is one for the summer. Cracking player and whilst we are at it lets get their manager Zola on board too. He has them playing the kind of footy that I would like Leeds to play play. Anyway good news on little Sam Byram today, shame we have to feed on scraps. Mot

It's been said on here a number of times and now I am starting to believe it. GFH are going to give Warnock no money for permanent signings this winter. Instead I can see a load of loan signings to plug gaps until the summer, then when a new manager is brought in the purse strings will be opened.
Even if Becchio is sold this window which is looking more and more likely I doubt Warnock will see any of the money and we will have to get a loan player to cover his position too.
However I would be happy with this approach to the rest of the season, I can't think of any Warnock signings apart from Austin who have been any good and it would be a waste of money to let him sign anymore permanent players.
I Agree, but GFH should talk to the fans and let us know if these are their plans, most of us would accept this if a longer term plan was in place and most of those who do not grace ER road at the moment would return. Honesty is the key for GFH
Diouf is his best signing by far for me and Austin has lost his way for me after his injury.
Liverpool Leeds lass
Peltier has been a good signing when he has played at CB and Green has done fairly well. The rest have been average at best.
Spot on, I agree with you (original poster). It seems common sense to me, if I owned Leeds Utd I certainly wouldn't be giving money out Willie nilly knowing that the next manager will have his own philosophy on the type of player needed. Anyhow, GFH are an investment COMPANY, so are concerned with 'the bottom line', so they won't have acres of money to cover two spending sprees in a short period of time (now and summer).

It sounds to me like Becchio's hand has been forced, it looks like Colin has minipulated the situation and Beccio has had enough. I don't believe he has been offer 20K a week but I do believe he would like to play for Leeds in the prem and he has realised that will never happen (the players will know more than we do about transfers in or out and he see's no future at Leeds). I know he is replaceable there are better out there but will we replace him with better?? McCormack is more than capable to run the front line but a high profile player would revive some faith in the fans and that would be reflected at the turnstyles.

26 Jan 2013 16:29:55
some of you people are pathetic, becchio is worth 20k+ and as we cnt offer anymore than 20k then becchio needs 2 leave and better himself at a higher level as he's been our best player for the past 2/3 years. as 4 wanting warnock sacked that's even more stupid as he aren't been given any funds yet so he's not magic, I seen someone wanted grayson back lol give your head a wobble. we as fans should be supporting the team, as i'm afraid warnock knows far more about management than any of us on here.
Warnock does know more than us about management and as he has said in the past how he totally dislike Leeds, it is easy to see he is making no attempt to get us promoted but just to see out his last season and take to cash. He has chosen the players and he shipped out Graysons players this is his team, don't give me the no money rubbish at this level you have to get the best out of the players and he is certainly not doing that at all. Ridiculous hoofball is disheartening for some of the better players and certainly for the fans. As a swansong Colin is minipulating Beccio out of Elland Road (who has been Leeds most consistant player over the last few seasons) .
Warnock can't leave soon enough for me!
Agree in part with both comments - I do not believe a word Warnock says, he hates Leeds and is a s**t stiring trouble maker - the sooner he F**ks off the better - Becchio has been if not our best then certainly one of the best players for the last few years - forget Bates, Warnock & individual players they will all come and go its Leeds United that we support so let's show it (it may be painful at times but we all still will remain MOT) {Ed013's Note - Mate there is no way Warnock would take this job to ruin the club just because he dislikes Leeds!}
ED: explain warnocks team selections, style of football and some of his signing of old mates who clearly arn't good enough. A final payday for him and some of his cronies. I know read it and weep. don't forget this is the fans fault for being negative or have you forgotten already.
Warnock needs to go he is poison {Ed013's Note - I agree some of his selections are terrible, but if he sorted the away form out and carried on the home form, although its hard on the eye's, he would be in the top 6. Not bad for someone that hates Leeds}
ED: this is what stops him being found out! win some lose some, change the team when we have won a couple back to back, the man is a genius.
We have the players that can make the play offs but we wont?? Digs at the fans, changing a winning team, critising players (becchio) cutting out ball players by hitting the long ball. I am willing to bet that if another manager came in with the same squad we would have better results. When Warnock first came, I appreciate it was not his team but his record was attrocious far worse than Graysons, I thought this fella was an expert in man management and getting the best from players?? Sorry ED your wrong on this one. {Ed013's Note - Ok I give in, Neil Warnock is here to ruin Leeds United}
26 Jan 2013 21:19:41

Warnok critisised Becchio because he knew that Becchio wanted to leave and his performance had dropped because of that, I wish people would stop protecting a player that has recorded his desire to leave Leeds United.
27 Jan 2013 10:31:46
Not defending him, it's his right to ask and do the best for himself and his family - The reason there is so much passionate feelings about it is the simple fact that he is valued here by the majority and has been a good servant to the club - love to see him stay, love to see some of the others in the team play with the same passion - whatever the outcome I say good luck Lucianooooooo !
26 Jan 2013 15:37:04
Why don't we just offer Luciano Becchio 1million and then the prem wages we supposedly offered him? I don't see the problem because it is easy going to cost 1million+ to replace him.
FozzyLUFC
Slightly flawed logic there. If he leaves we will receive a transfer fee, we can use those funds to sign his replacement. So it may not cost us £1m, or anything for that matter, dependant on the fee agreed
Yup but that's 1m from the fee we get for him so if we spend the money now were out of pocket by a million when we would be in profit by a fair bit if we let him go

Regarding Luciano Becchio, Jan 30th is my guess as the date he will be sold.
No one signed will look at a loan for end of season
Colin Hoofball to see out his contract
If Adkins takes hudders job Frank rejkard to be approached.
Gfh to sound out new investors at seasons end when colin and bates are no more.
26 Jan 2013 14:40:58
We need to sign Warnock Gradel CMS and Dorrans or Faurlin. Even if we sell Becchio these are the signings we need in the last few days of January. We'd have a serious team then.
26 Jan 2013 14:38:32
Since we won't sign anyone today or tomorrow due to the FA Cup the equation becomes 3 quality signings in 3 days. Every Leeds fan knows that's 1 every day. Tall order for the Harvey. Ironically, I think we will win tomorrow.we will use the drama of Becchio to put in a high charged performance but what good will it do us regarding promotion? We will be playing championship football in August.
26 Jan 2013 18:26:24
Signing 3 in 3 days is not a prob if they been planning for few weeks, it could easy be 3 in one day!

IfBecchio wants to leave for money, I have lost all respect for him.
Im sure he wnt lose any sleep, he's worth more than 20k, who in the right mind would not want to better themselves and get more money you nugget
Why? isn't 5 years of him giving his all good enough? he's 29 and a striker....he doesn't have long left as a top earning pro so its in his best interests to get as much money as he can now to secure his future for him and his family
Would you leave your job, which you have given everything to for over 5 years, for lots more money he has a family to think of and I for 1 will thank him for a great loyal service whilst he was here.......p.s and that's if he goes.........kevlufc
Maybe it is enough in your eyes, but as a fellow Leeds fan, I can state my own opinion.

Not really as someone else would be in his place and we wouldn't need 2 keep playing high balls so we would be in same place probably
Who can replace him when we have no money berty25
26 Jan 2013 13:21:09
don't buy what they tell you boys, if we were in the position to offer 20k wages to anyone, players would be queuing up to join. the likes of George Boyd would be no problem to sign. they offered Becchio 15k tops.
Judging the snodgrass was offered 15k and becchios offer was the best NW has offered it's at least £15,000.01 pw
They offerd 20k but becchio is worth more so I agree with him wanting out as he deserves far better
He can easily say that though, can't he? probably same terms Snoddy had.
26 Jan 2013 16:10:04
Wood went to leicester because they offered more money, so obviously becchio thought that whatever they offered him was more than he is on and he wanted a piece of that....cant blame him.
Just because they offer LB £20k doesn't mean they would be willing toffer that amount to everyone, it doesn't work like that. As the official statement says he was already the top earner BEFORE the offer.
26 Jan 2013 12:31:24
ive been a firm supporter of Warnock but enoughs enough, the way in which he's gone about the Becchio situation is disgusting, he's pretty much put him in the shop window along with Mick Jones, if neither of them 2 had said anything, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation, let him go in the summer and give Grayson his job (which he shouldve never lost) back and let him take the club he loves to the promised land!
Some people have a very short memory, this time last year everyone was calling for Grayson's head, just been sacked again after a run of 12 games without a win, definitely not the man to take us forward.
It says 'banter' at the top of the page not rumors ? have you missed the last 4 to 8 years of lies from our chairmen, selling our best players, dire football, premiership prices, and dwindling crowds? I think us Leeds fans can moan as much as we want as we have plenty of reasons to do so.
The defence and tactics are bad enough as it is, Grayson is not the man to get us up.
I think if we look at it simply its just a case of him realising he could earn more before his retirement which will in the next few years. Its got nothing to do with NW or MJ or GFH nobody is forcing anybody to do anything its just the current state of financially driven football of today, get over it its not the first and it won't be that last time!
OP here, I never called for Graysons head, I always said he shouldve been given to at least the end of the season
26 Jan 2013 12:23:28
I think this season should be used to test younger players with next year being more focussed on push for promotion after a summer where we have more time to source quality reasonably priced players. We will not go down this term but will not go up either as we are not good enough let's stabilise not panic buy and focus on the new season
26 Jan 2013 12:10:30
You thought it would be simple, either sign a proper target man that wins headers and suits the tactic orr change the tactic that suits the players we have! Bring back gradel to bring back fans!
Now where will we find a modern day Lee Chapman.
26 Jan 2013 12:09:47
A little bewidered by peoples ranting here.. Lets wait till thursday before screaming all venom and hatred... Weve got rid of most of the deadwood that people were demanding we do ... Thus freeing up wages for maybe 3 signing as was suggested was our plan ...Becchios transfer request is dissapointing, but he hasn't gone anywhere yet, and if he does it seems we will get what he's worth ... I get the impression most the fans wrighting on here are totally deluded, or sheep[following the latest critical trend].. Have a long think about it... i'm sure even some of the posters on here would agree they bawl out absolute nonsense most the time.. Its a rumours site, not a persecution site...

if and I wish I had a voice on the main board at our great club and with niel warnock publicly stating this is his last year as a manager I would be on the phone to nigel adkins for a meeting and sit him down and agree a pre contra ct for next season go and get some sun and downtime for a couple of weeks then come and watch our games see the weak links go scout and draw up your requirements for the big push for next season and also tell niel what ever is in the pot stays in the pot work your magic with what you have got.this season is a write off but we could use this time to be so far ahead of our competition with giving a new manager nearly 4 months to asses 0ur strengths and weakness, s with no pressure on him and a war chest to give next season the big push!
If I had had the money to buy Leeds and I had 10 million or so to put into the squad, well what would I have done
I am pretty sure I would have sacked Colin and got a manger who is committed to the long term, who would buy players that he wants
Why wait till the summer and then have the situation where you have a new manager, looking at a squad that Colin left. There will be another bout of changes in personnel, which is a waste of money usually. A team that will need time to gel AGAIN when they could have had the last half of this season to do that.
I feel that we are going to have wasted a half season just marking time

why not approach nigel adkins and agree a pre contact agreement as we are not going behind warnocks back as he has stated his intentions.tell nigel to go have a well earned break come back watch our games go and identify who you think would fit for next season do not give niel any more money to spend keep that for the summer for adkins. by doing this...niel work with what you have and lets see how good you are and nigel when you come on board the main agenda is footgall on the floor play from the back through the midfield entertain no more journeymen . by doing the above it would give him an advantage for next season
Are you nuts ? Only 5 points off play off place. And 9, behind second team. Who are not consistent. And you want to write this season off ? Money needed now for 3 quality signings. And watch us climb the table.

At last a sensible, do-able suggestion. Spot on!
Would agree to an extent but its questionable when play offs are a possibility still personally I would like Leeds to try get rijkard in charge but imagine we can't afford it
26 Jan 2013 10:44:27
Hope Leeds use part of the Becchio money to buy Dundee Utd skipper Jon Daly.
His contract runs out at the end of the season so although Dundee Utd won't want to sell, I think they'll pretty much feel they have to at far below his value.
A solid player, leadership skills, good goalscoring record. Almost a straight replacement for Becchio (although Daly tends to stay on his feet more often).
Would cost much less in wages, can play in defence as well, so better squad player and would leave us enough money in the kitty to buy a marquee signing like Mad Max
26 Jan 2013 10:42:14
I agree with most people that it will, be sad to see Becchio go, great servant to Leeds in tough times. Also I wish him well wherever he ends up, the lad deserves a crack at prem football. Something we cannot offer currently.
Also I think it will not be a disaster him going in spite of his impressive goal return. ( a small handful of which were penalties btw).
The way we play at present is with Becchio at the leading edge of our attack, so far this season he has been the target man for everything we do. Not surprising therefore his goal return is so impressive. If we replace him with a player who can play on the ground a bit, who can bring others into play a bit more what might result from this more of a distribution of goals between fwd's and mfd's. A player who will give defenders a bit more to think about.
Rarely does a team win anything where you have one player scoring the bulk of goals. More of a concern is the games where we have hardly managed to get a shot on target in 90 mins. This is Symptomatic of a much deeper malaise in the team/squad. Poor tactics and depending how the t'fer window ends a lack of ambition as far as this season is concerned. On this latter point I will reserve judgement until midnight jan 31st.
Also still a concern is Bates loitering in the background, worried about him informing or contributing to any decisions gfh are making. Perhaps i'm paranoid, any thoughts?
LLHB MOT
I wish with gfh in theory being a visionary go ahead company should start to be looking to the future warnock is walking by his own admission into the sunset we or should I say the board of our club should now draw up a shortlist for our next manager starting with nigel adkins roberto de matteo ( now very high profile but if you don't ask you don't get) no compasation get them in the background nosw on a pre contract agreement so they can evaluate the teams strengths and weakeness with still 4 months to go and have a big push for next season. any success this season will ank with bradford getting to the capital one cup final

Jesus! Some of you guys! One day we may get amanager that's actually succesful and a team to match. What are you going to moan about then?
You must be a real joy to live with.
Well when it happens we won't be moaning will we, but after watching the same crap for the last 10 years( apart from the div 1 promotion)we have every right to moan.
Ive been watching the same crap as everyone else has. I'm not likely to change my allegiance after 45 years. We are prem club out of the prem. We will be back
My loyalty to LUFC is beyond question. More so than Becchio, Howson, Snodgrass and many many others. I've been there through 2 relegations and I intend to have witnessed 3 promotions.I come on this site to see what rumours are around. Ok most are a mile off and there are some highly amusing ones. To be honest I get sick of seeing the moans and conspiracy theories. I understand and feel the frustration of 10 years of rollercoaster (but mainly frustration). Risdale started this sticky ball rolling with his wild schemes and delusions of grandeur. I for one don't want to see this happen again by buying over-priced players or over-paid prima-donnas (Brolin, Sharpe, White, Seth Johnson, Fowler et al). We can not sustain a large group of players on 20,000 a week at this time. Not without a large cash injection and initial losses. I don't think GFH are gamblers. Also where do we think changing managers mid season is going to get us? We are not under threat of relegation, just low on patience for the good times to return. I'd rather be a Leeds fan than a fan of Bristol City or Peterborough, or Barnsley

I would be happy with a striker who could score 190 goals in 6 seasons never mind half a season.

Do we actually have money to spend? Was looking forward to this transfer window, signing some high quality players that could push us on into the playoff places. If anything our squad is going to be weakened with the loss of Becchio . Seems to be a lot of rumours but nothing concrete. We need to be to busy thus week otherwise I can see us falling down the table rather than progressing up it and back into the premier league where a team with Leeds United's stature should be! Hopefully a heroic performance and an amazing atmosphere at ER on Sunday will give us a well needed boost and tempt new players to come to play for Leeds. MOT

Got a gut feelingwere going to get some one from qpr just waiting for them to get players in first. Hope its faulin. Although warnock has his faults can't blame him for players not comming its up to harvey to do that and sell our club to them which let's be honest he's usless a. Over last 5 years or so this has always been the problem operating with a rubbish budget. Now we have a bigger budget apparentlyt we still arrive at the same place. The man has seriously under performed and needs to xxxk off

So tell me, honestly why is everyone surprised with what's going on at our beloved club. a saying springs to mind which is:
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose
translated it means
the more that things change the more they stay the same.
No communication, players leaving, empty promises of marque signings, promotion to the prem.....need I say more.
in who do we trust now?

If we can offer beccio 20k a week bring Becford back same wages
26 Jan 2013 08:54:50
Ime not slating becchio for 1 minute. he's been a great servent to our great club BUT 20 k a week is more than enough for a striker who lacks pace and doesn't have the best touch in the world . 20k a week = 1 million a year . I reacon he should of sighned that contract . But good luck to the lad anyway . Mabey if we can start paying 20k a week we can start going places again . Mot.
I love Becchio but if he wants to leave then this is the time to bring back Beckford. Huddersfield are without a manager and he is only on loan there. Warnock should give it a go. Even Beckford knows Leeds are much bigger and better than Huddersfield

What would happen if gfh spent silly money in jan then it comes to summer and warnock leaves and the next manager is left with all his poor signings and gfh say sorry we've done all our signings for the year what then? Think about it they've got money just not willing to give it this particular manager. And with the current players we've got eg brown drury tonge we wouldn't have a chance in premier league. So I say finish as high as possible then bring good young manager and give him the chance of building a better team so when we get back to where we belong we can stay there and not be laughing stocks.
Why not bring in new manager now and let him decide who good and who
Not so good then let him go shopping
In the summer
Because they would after pay warnock off and probably pay more that way then letting his contract run out.
Ed, correct me if i'm wrong but if you release a player/ manager you pay his contract up, full amount no more no less. So if we was to get rid of warnock, it would cost us the same as letting his contract run till summer ? {Ed013's Note - Not really, if you release someone they can take you to court for Unfair dismissal, but you can come together in an agreement to settle the contract that both parties will sign. If the Manager gets sacked then he is entitled to his contract being paid up, but the 2 parties usually come to a settlement figure. As far as I know, Neil is still on a month by month rolling contract. He may have signed one since the last time I spoke with him, but it never got announced}

I hope Luciano Becchio doesn't get a bad reception tomorrow, he's honest in what he wants.....he's been with us for years and scored goals every season, so he's served his time in the football league well, and he knows that Leeds aren't going to the Premiership this season, he's thought of his family and wanting to have one last big payday and a crack at a higher level of football. I don't blame him, he's not done a Beckford and thought he was too good for the club so put in a transfer request and no effort on the pitch, he's puts his heart into his performances for our club, the bloke is a legend and I for one will be said to see him go, yes we may get a good sum for him and buy a better all round striker, Becchio isn't the best footballer in the world but he does his job properly and his work rate has made him a fan favourite! I wish him well for how future and hope him and his family have a good stable life!
Thanks for everything Luciano!

Luciano. lucianooooo. we offer.more money. and he still wants to go. luciano lucianooooo. if you want to leave just.**** off and go.
You seem to have already forgot what he's done for are club mate . Mot
To the last poster, yeh he has done a lot for our club but I think Leeds United have done just as much for Becchio in all honesty. If he doesn't want to stay then good riddance. 20k is more than enough.
20k 4 becchio is poor he's miles better than most in this league simple as that

Don't turn up on Sunday. Show GFHI and Smurfy who's boss. We the fans are. If you don't invest our money wisely you don't get paid. I reckon a couple of weeks no show will make them realise the true spirit of LUFC
Yh gr8 idea, stay at home and let us true leeds fans go
It won't help on sunday certainly as all the armchair fans are going to show up anyway and it won't have your desired impact.
26 Jan 2013 09:54:51
Am sure turning eland road even more morbid will tempt better players to come, let's fill the place sing our hearts out (positively)and show everyone why we are best fans in the world.Eland rd is becoming a depressing place to go do you not think that affects players, whatever we think of them they are wearing the White shirt when they are struggling they need us to sing louder not boo.
