All this talk of adminstration is really negative, if you think about it if GFH are owed the debt and Leeds go into admin they would only get say 10p in the £ so why would they do it. Also they would loose anything if Leeds got promoted.
Debt to equity is a process most clubs do, as frees debt from the balance sheet and the debt becomes a bigger share holding so it's actually better for the club.
Finally if you look at Bolton for instance they are selling all their assets including players rather than going into admin, if we were in dire straights our best young players would have been sold in January.
I know this is a rumours site but please think it through before worrying people.

All what talk of administration?

bamba goes to france then could be off babma says to evans yes need striker babma then gets told another year on contract, nice to see ERWIN but what does evans want a miracle
give the lad areal chance not 10 mins micky mouse.

have to say mangers know more than me but I never understand why giving anyone just 10 minutes, I understand to wind the clock down but if behind surely you have to change things with more than just 10 minutes, all atacking players need at least 20 minutes to make a mark on average surely?

06 Feb 2016 20:52:50
Agree. But to be fair SE usually does give them longer. That's one of the things I've liked the most about him. That he could see where a game was going wrong and knew how to change it. Obviously that went tits up today.

06 Feb 2016 22:07:11
i thought he was like that so good to see you back that up speedy as I trust everything you say and dote on your word (but you already knew that) . I do rate evans at this level like to see him have a pre season and bring his own men in and see what he can do. gutted to hear all the negivitity about ant I rate him but if he ain't putting in a shift that is not good enough.

06 Feb 2016 18:10:33
Should evans be worried about having to sign on? 1 win in 8 games they said on the radio mr cellino must be stating to itch.
Does anyone think he deserves to go?

06 Feb 2016 18:32:50
No keep him until the end of the season. We can't go up now sure we won't go down. He's done a half decent job of stabilising us and don't want to return to the 3 or 4 managers a season like last year.

06 Feb 2016 18:46:36
evans did say if we don't push for prem next year he would leave so is he saying going.

06 Feb 2016 19:23:26
i like evans and he has done well on whole I think. his signings have done well one the whole so think he should stay on till end of season at least. if he does go gary monk would be stand out choice if we could get him.

Bottom half of the Championship is Evans level. He is tactically inept and basically a defensive coach which is why we draw lots of games.
To often we start slowly and lose momentum very easily.
Evans is quick to point out that this is not his team and quick to point out what is required. But he has not improved any of our players and his continuing use of Wootton baffles me.
For me it is not rocket science get a proper manager in someone with a good reputation, someone who players respect and someone who they want to play for and someone who our youngster will learn from.
Our club needs to be built on solid foundations and MC is not providing that because of his obvious mistrust of managers in general.
We need to get in a Moyes, Alladyce or dare I say a Mick McCarthy and bring some stability to the club.

06 Feb 2016 20:19:59
I don't really know whether Evans is that good a manager or not but but he can only work with what he's got.
At least half if not more of our players are just not good enough to get us promoted.

06 Feb 2016 22:10:07
bit harsh on evans he has only ever had small clubs (which he over achieved with) and now us so he might be very good but at the same time I am not disagreeing with you as hoped we would of improved a little more by now. Also have to put a big no on mick mccarthy. He destroyed millwall (which I love him for) but I hate him, he might be a good manager but he is dull and the wife hates him so if he was manager I would have to not watch leeds interviews for the 23 games which he would be in charge for.

06 Feb 2016 22:42:30
Bermondsey, I share your hatred of Mick McCarthy but he has done well at clubs in the past and let's be honest is doing well at the Tractor Boys. I just want a manager who has the experience and track record to get us first challenging and then promoted, I am getting really tired of this mid table dross we are constantly being served.

06 Feb 2016 23:29:03
Pep Guardiola couldn't get this team promoted.
THE PLAYERS ARN'T GOOD ENOUGH! 😬😬😬.

07 Feb 2016 04:13:11
danum, you are so right.

06 Feb 2016 17:00:20
Same old leeds united performance. season over as far as I'm concerned, I don't like being negative but my goodness something big has to change for next year or we will be in the same position! Let's see how far we can get in the cup, only thing to optimistically look forward to. I'd be interested to know what everyone else is thinking? MOT.

06 Feb 2016 17:42:06
Possibly lots of improvement off the field but I'm struggling to see anything on the field to give us hope for next season. Especially as our better players will prob be gone by then.

06 Feb 2016 17:49:06
Starts with ownership. We are only at 75 per cent throttle due to GFH. They must be bought out for a realistic chance. Otherwise we automatically give up 30 points each season. Wednesday will go up automatically imo just to make things feel worse.

06 Feb 2016 17:49:18
I'm with u mot just on way home from game stopped off for a bite to eat! We are not going forward or back we are " stuck in the middle with u " as steelers wheel once said that should be our new club song! Defo nt marching on! Lol if it wasn't for my daughter ready to give me my next grandchild I would have nothing to look forward to this season now! Mot! Oops I mean s. i. t. m. Lol.

06 Feb 2016 19:27:35
peterbourgh wasnt stuck in the middle with you sung by louise redknapp/ nurding. I thought she wrote that song if not her version must be the better one? one thing positive is we do have young starting 11 so if we can keep them and add a goalscorer (although I still hope wood will come good and be our new chapman) and a good center back we might be up there. in this league it is small margins so couple of good signings would make all the difference. I agree GFH have to go, not even sure why they are holidng on when they have no interest in club and must know to really make money we need to go up. they must be the only poor arabs to be involved in football.

Bermo

Stuck in the middle with you must be half century old song. Steelers wheel. Made famous by Michael Madsen and Reservoir Dogs.

06 Feb 2016 22:11:55
nope sorry definatly louise nurding I remember she had a black leather cat suit on because I was about 13 when it come out and it made me feel funny in my pants and a great artist like louise would not release a cover version. she must of wrote it and steelers whoever must of covered it.

{Ed003's Note - hahaha.}

Only 12 goals at ER this season - 62% possession and 0-1 down against a negative ball team - says it all :- ( Another Saturday ruined.

06 Feb 2016 14:04:36
Wow. Go Leicester!

06 Feb 2016 14:58:50
yeah firstly well done to them has to be one of the greatest football stories ever. secondly it has to give hope to everyone, couple of good managers, some very good players (and getting the best out of good/ average players) and top of the legaue on a modest budget well done to everyone involved.

Dare to dream lads!

Last night I had a dream we won one nil against the broccoli so Mick is going to get on it like the proverbial tramp on a sandwich. Funny thing was the scorer was Wells as in Knacker Wells! This was a dream after all so I won't be predicting the scorer, just the result!

I also had a dream about Mrs Micks sister with the big cahooners but I'll tell you about that another day.

Enjoy the weekend - DTP UTW!

MM.

Cmon Mick tell us! Lol.

So then Forest today a tough game IMO and it should be tougher than Bristol for obvious reasons. But these are the games we should be winning at ER if we want to challenge next season and this season is all about setting up well for next season and people who say that isn't important look at Boro at couple of seasons ago they had a good finish to the season and the season after they got to the playoff final. IMO them building well in previous season helped. Another thing I want to say is that some people on here say that we need spend a lot of money to get out of this division that's not only way there is an other way and it will probably take longer but it is spending a decent to good amount of money that won't put us in financial issues or in FFP ban. And sticking by your manager. (For example Silver and Wilkinson. ) But back to the game, this is the team I would play: 1.Silvestri 2.Coyle (Unlikely but IMO Coyle should be playing till Beradi gets fit and IMO when we have Beradi 1 RB and Coyle a sub full back for me there is no reason keep hold of Wooton Clan. ) 3.Cooper Duper 4.Hess's Lover boy Belluscsi 5.Charlie "Consistent" Taylor 6.Bridcutt 7.Diougara 8.Cookie (In free roaming role. ) 8. Stuart "The golden boy" Dallas 9.Carayol 10.Souly "The goal scoring machine" Douk In a 4231.So predicting 2 1 with goals from the Douk and "The golden boy". ( Also side note I support Leeds as a football club not just as a team and I am massively interested with what goes behind the scenes but please on match day can we concetrate on what's on the pitch not of it. ) So let's get another win and make two wins in two get back into the top half and keeps this unbeaten at ER what's been going on since November. So let's have the best season we can have and continue this decent Fa Cup and make it into a good one and let's finish as high as we can and set up well for next season Were we will hopefully challenge to get back to the promised land were we belong. Up the Whites Down the Pints ( As the great Jedi Master's of Alcoholism said a long time ago ago in Weatherspoons far far away. ) MOT!

great post, I think it will be 2-2. this season now is all about building and also showing the new players in that it is worth staying and the young players that it is worth staying as leeds could be fighting for promotion. Also in this league nothing is ever over. Quite often teams come from nowhere to make play offs. I don't think we will but if palace could (they went from bottom at new year I think defintaly bottom at xmas) to play offs so if we build up a very good run it could be. if nothing else the players need to do it for the fans. I like your line up, don't know enough about coyle to comment but I would defintaly change bellischi for anyone even wooten (who has improved a lot) I think bellischi is good with ball at feet but temprement worrys me and I always feel he is about to get sent off or cost us a goal. my line up would be the cat, bardi (if fit) , wooten, cooper, taylor, cook, birdcutt, dallas, carayol, douk and ant in 442 but try to bring on wood again fitness pending) douingra and boktoka. I like 4-4-2 i'm old school I also would let me 1st 11 know that I am keen to bring players on and the ones who are not performing the best of the pairs in the same potsition will be brought off. I would rule with iron fist.
