Thank god the Beckford rumour has been put to bed, TBH I doubt Warnock even considered him, he's been pretty average ever since he left leeds and the fact he's not been playing at Leicester is enough to say he's not what he was... I'll always love him for all he diid for Leeds and especially THAT goal against the mancs, but let's move on. NW knows how to put a team together so in he we trust.
Also, just as a footnote, KB may be a lot of things and i'm not his biggest fan, but he' s leaving our club in a much healthier state than he found it, not many would have taken it on, so thanks Ken, let's close that chapter soon too!

Beckford scored THAT goal against the and THAT goal at Bristol, amongst a whole host of others but I'd prefer we look to the future and not dwell on past players

Diouf, Diouf, Diouf!!!

Alot of people on here slated him. I didn't for one minute. I hoped from the minute the league finished, we would come in and get him. I think anyone else that was at the Leeds v Doncaster game like me. Could see what a real talent he was. He made Snoddy look ordinary, in a game we won.
He said he wanted to be a legend and he's slotting into that role with little effort.

Guys or Ed,
A few weeks ago I was In Kirby Overblow, and was told That Beckford WAS coming to Leeds, We were paying £8,000 towards his wages, After having a phone call this morning, I find Beckford has gone to Uddersfield, with them paying part of his wages..... £18,000, How much is Beckford on a week at Lister ?? Gj {Ed020's Note - i think it was something around 23-25k}

29 Sep 2012 17:46:57
Thanks for the reply Ed Gj

So WHAT, exactly, has Beckford done since he left Leeds.....

...answers on a (small) postcard please?

I could put it on a stamp and use the rest for letting someone i do love, know it!

Errrr
Scored at every level
Premier league and championship
Cost £4million so can't be too bad a player which I quite fancy his record would prove

I don't think these investors have the funds to make us competitive in the premiership,might have funds to get us up but not to take us any further.

At least give them a chance before being so negative

The thing is nobody knows who is investing, we know who is brokering the deal and thats all. All i would say is that there are some VERY rich people in that part of the world. We can all recall the rumours about barhani royalty possibly being investors. If that were the case what would stop them increasing their financial commitment!? Moreover i can see sense in the above hypothesis to remain secret. Were others to get a sniff that serious money was behind leeds then would create unnecessary inflation when players/agents are negotiating fee's salaries etc.

STEP ASIDE MAN CITY! LOL

Oh btw,

Alot people had me down as a doom and gloom merchant. This is not the case and defo not now. The one thing that would change my mind on coming back to watch the lads, was a little investment. I always said Bates out! Boycott, due to me not seeing anyway forward with Mr Bates.
He might of run a tight ship but he tried to run a small crew, with a view to getting lucky. I am so looking forwards to the Barnsley game and doing what i do best, support my team. Now is defo the time to turn ER into a stronghold and not a hunting ground. I have a funny feeling this is going to be are year in so many ways.
So lets come togeather now and stop all the infighting. We all know how each and everyone of us loves are club. Thats why this club will never die.
Hope the lads show the same comitment as the Everton game today. I'm going with a 2-0 win, Byram and diouf getting the goals ether half.
COME ON YOU WHITES!!

As I have said elsewhere, what EXACTKY has Beckford really done since he left Leeds.....

Read Daily Mail online artical ref takeover Of Leeds going through

29 Sep 2012 08:38:21
Great news about the take over being almost complete, i am a bit disappointing that the wording from GFH is that we intend to take back ownership of ER as soon as possible, did anyone else read that the same as me, meaning they are not going to buy ER with the takeover?

Chris

Maybe ER isnt for sale.. as long as they invest in the squad then i dont care how long it takes to get ER back

They can't buy the ground until they buy Leeds City Holdings who have first refusal on the purchase of the ground. An 3rd party can't buy the ground before LCH for about another 20 years

I know it's only a few but can we way off Beckford a bit, let's remember him for what he did for us, yes he left us but players do, some say he left for money I like to think he left to try his hand in the best league in the word firstly, money 2nd. It didn't work out so he went somewhere else and lets not forget he didn't turn us down this time coz we didn't make a bid and now he's gone on loan to get some games again he's not snubbed us coz we don't even know if warnock wanted him back and yes I know it's our rivals but is he ment to turn the chance to play for that? He loves Leeds he's shown that and most love him, let's remember the good things he did for us he never left under a cloud he went to try and play in the best league in the world but it didn't work for him and I'm pretty sure if we had bid at anytime he would have come back. Let him do his thing and let our boys with GFH leading the way do ours, coz if things go how they sound like they might we are going to have many many more players to b proud of. Good luck Beckford I hope u do well and I'd love to see u in a Leeds shirt again someday.

No, he left Leeds for MONEY pure and simple, get over it.

If he DID love Leeds he would have stuck with us.

He DOES love money, that's why he left, as it obviously han't bettered his career?

Hudder.... who??
