personally i think there must be something serious waiting to happen regarding leeds united! for too long ken bates has been very quiet? if it was false he would be in the press stating "utter nonsense these take over rumours" uncle kenneth loves the limelight and would be first in the press to slate anyone and everyone over these strong takeover rumours!
even wily old warnock has been very quiet? i know he's away but news can travel fast....nothing also from shaun harvey??.....im too is very excited with the takeover story and i wait in anticipation! as the saying states! the silence is deafening!!
if neil is given the correct funds? i'd sign up the following.....paddy kenny...fitz hall...matt mills...jack hunt....wayne bridge....gennaro gattuso.....del piero....yakuba....reo coker.....beckford.....then lets sit back and watch warnock whip em into shape and march on together to the promise land....

As you say Bates loves to rubbish takeover rumours and the fact that they announced discussions were taking place last week suggests things are well advanced. Bates first question to anyone has always been Show me your money! so to be shown around Elland Road last week makes me think money is already agreed and hopefully all that remains is due dilligance. these bank holidays are a pain slowing things down. I dont think it is surprising that Warnock is quiet right now as he is on holiday but it was surprising how quiet he was before he went away.

Leeds r going up get bet on now b4 takeover as odds will drop treble it up with rotherham league 2 and sheff utd league one printing money

Do people here honestly think Somma is gonna be a quality striker for us? In my opinion even before the injury I didn't really rate him but I hope he comes back and bangs in 20 or 30 goals and I will gladly eat humble pie.

Believable8 Unbelievable7

You will eat humble pie my son, Somma is better than maccormack. If you look at the season before, he only ever come off the bench but still scored 12-14 goals. Maccormack scored 19 and played and started in every game nearly. The only way to prove this, is watch him play next season and he will do the talk up for me.

As long as he gets the service he'll get 15 easy.

Agree3 Disagree0

You have to look at mccormacks goal ratio was pretty good for a team that finished in the bottom half of the table . somma played for us while we was getting more chances and in the top half of the league . i would like to keep both of these players if at all possible . bring in dj Campbell or beckford for a bit extra pace and we should have everything we need for our season in strikers . i couldn't see anyone with a better 4 than us with becchio
mccormack
somma
dj campbell or beckford

these players between them wwill give us pace ,strength and a high work rate.

Simons mum who works at the Hilton Hotel at East Midlands airport heard a chap telling his son that Uncle Freds nephew who is a friend of Jack, Peters mate who drinks in the Swan was told by Nathen that Sally's brother had been told that a friend who works for a chap part time as a gardener for a Director of Leeds United said indeed it was an consortium from America that were buying into Leeds United if all goes through he will get a substantial pay rise and buy the new water feature for his house at Lintern near Wetherby.
They will get Michael Owen on a pay as you play and there are some other players from the USA that will join Keeting Bandosa and Big Digger a goalie from Red Sox blue pants.
Happy days ahead MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Simons mum should have mentioned to the chap to told his son that uncle freds nephew and or his friend jack, when peter drinks in the swan..not to give you anything with alcahol in. only drink filtered water from now on, hope you get better very soon lol. mot

Sad. Very sad.

Nice story ;)

Agree0 Disagree4

Another clown who think his/ her post is funy. Grow up cos the " my friends anties next door neighbour" rubbish has been used too many times now, and to be honest wasn't even funny the first time it was used never mind the 60th. Surely your time should be used by posting something constructive and at least partly true, getting so bored with it, Leeds fan for 40 years , excited by the takeover/ investment to me this is important times and not a joke,

lonergan white pearce kilgallon hill pelteir snodgrass derry ince beckford dj cambell subs kenny lees kisborno becchio brown this a decent could be better whats your views?

Believable1 Unbelievable3

White will not be here..cnt see why has he is not good enough for pl o.w

Agree3 Disagree0

What formation is that?

for me we need at least 6/7 1st team players and 2/3 subs, maybe more if Snodgrass, White and McCormack go

...........Gk
RB.Pearce.CB.White
.........Cm.CM
Snodgrass.AM.AML
.........Becchio
Subs from: Lonergan, Lees, Kisnorbo, Pugh, Brown, Pugh, Thompson, Roger, Somma, McCormack

Agree0 Disagree2

Why do people like you keep mentioning kisnorbo ? the useless sod wouldnt get in the rothwell athletic team

Agree7 Disagree1

Maybe because he was on the keep list, so whether you link it or not he is going to be around the squad

Agree0 Disagree1

Kisnorbo wasn't fit when he came back and thats why he ended up getting injured again . he needs to get fit and recondition his muscles around his joints and maybe then he should return but maybe more in a coaching roll for the younger ones

Agree0 Disagree0

Coaching him? the mans hopeless {Ed037's Note - I disagree, he was fantastic before he was injured, when he came back he hadn't recovered}

Agree0 Disagree0

Not rumour but just a wishlist of unwanted players from other clubs
Zat Knight
Danny Murphy
Andy Johnson
Ricardo Fuller.
I am presuming Paddy Kenny and Danny Guthrie are on there way.
That lot would do me and get us promoted MOT

Andy johnson will be wanted by a lower end premier league club

Do you think ed, the mystery investor/buyer just might be right under our very nose based on this statement my be hidden clues!According to an official press release, under terms Harvard International's expanded relationship with Leeds United, the company's iLuv brand will be featured on Leeds' home kit whilst Harvard International's View21 brand will appear on the club's away shirts and third team kits.

Financial terms of Harvard International's expanded one-year sponsorship of Leeds United were not released.

"“We are delighted that we have expanded our relationship with Harvard International and that they will be our secondary shirt sponsor for the forthcoming season," said Leeds United chief executive Shaun Harvey. "

"The new agreement is further testament to the strength of our commercial partnership programme and how we pro-actively manage our partnerships with our sponsors. Over the course of last season we developed an excellent working relationship with the executive team at Harvard and it’s great that we can now further leverage the partnership with the View21 brand and bring a range of exciting technology products and benefits to the Leeds United {Ed013's Note - Its a good conspiracy mate, I don't know hoe much they are worth though}

Just a quick question ED. Is there any news on any of the other pertential buyers coming in?
mot4life {Ed013's Note - Everything is quiet over this Jubilee weekend. Harvey got back in yesterday, but I would imagine nothing being said until after the bank holiday at least. There will still be plenty of rumours though and the favorites for investment at the minute is the American outfit that have already looked around Thorpe Arch/Elland Road}

I wouldn't mind seeing Keith Andrews signed up for next season. He's the type of midfielder we've been missing for ages now. It would be shocking, if Larry got him before us.

Believable0 Unbelievable6

Well said Ed ! I knew Harry K personally ;not mates but able to chat to him. but i would never have him back Gj {Ed013's Note - I delete most Gj, but S/He put some effort in to the post. I rated him as a player at Leeds, but what he did was unforgivable. I don't care if I get a backlash from that, he didn't better himself for doing it, he turned the best fans in the world against him}

Agree6 Disagree0

Kewell, a talented footballer who didn't like playing football! Him and that thing he married, all they are is Posh and Becks wannabees.
But worst of all Kewell didn't just stuff Leeds when we where at our lowest, dodgy deal that took him to scousers, Leeds got b*gger all for him, then he went to the turks! Oh to build relation between us and them get lost harry, he went for a pay day as every team in England saw how sh1t he was a Liverpool.
I can't believe someone actual thinks this is a good idea, he can play (well when he can be bothered) but at Leeds no thanks, I'd rather pick up a free agent from league 1.

Agree4 Disagree0

What a complete muppet wanting that disrespectful ar**hole back, don't think deserves to ever come back into Leeds never mind the club,now that was sticking throwning up the middle finger to the club and fans, Delph will not come back, he didn't want to come back on loan he hated everyday back at Leeds and couldn't wait to get back to villa,

Agree3 Disagree1

Are you a candidate for the monster raveing looney party,or are you a total co=k head, that has been supporting leeds for about 3 days.
You mean Harry, i dont give a fu=k about any team i've ever played for and will show no respect for two of the most loyal fans in the country. Who saddly lost there lives, doin the thing they loved.
That lad is not fit to shine there shoes or even mension there names.
My advice to you lad is. Go support another team, as you seam as loyal as Ashley Cole was with cheryl. Now go take your face for a sh=t. excuse my French ED.
