ed is there any truth in this rumour that hot shots resigned and so to has harvey cant see any clarifcation anywhere ? nicky bee {Ed003's Note - I don't do twatter and I suspect a troll has left his mark this evening,I apologise if I'm wrong but it is occuring on most sites tonight}

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Searched web for this new nowhere to be found I was quite excited for all of 2 mins

Agree2 Disagree0

If Lorimer has resigned, I seriously hope it is because he can't take Bates bringing our club into disrepute, yet again. I might even have some time for Harvey if he has shown the guts to do the same thing?

If there is no take over, how do we as the bread and butter of the club the supporters that is, get Ken bates out the club in the correct manor? I was never one of the "morons" that protested outside or inside ellend road, but I do truly believe that now is the time for Ken to go, I'm tired of our best players leaving and no investment put back into the squad even as we are a debt free club, I as a customer of the club want my money put into the team, I know I'm not alone, I would now go to any length to get this man out of our club and I'm intitled to my say but I want to express this in the most sensible and effective way possible, please help me with your thoughts

Believable2 Unbelievable1

I'm sure by season start we'll have a team that will be able to push for promotion,Warnock is back from his Jollies soon and from Monday will start putting his squad together.. FANS stop the negativity and let's have some positive posts on here.

Agree2 Disagree0

This is totally beside the fact of Warnock and whatever team we have at the start of the season, I'm not going to be someone protesting but I want Ken bates out the club, he is a joke of a chairman and not fit for the job

Agree4 Disagree0

There is only one way to get Bates out and that is to desert the one team we love and support, having said that, there won't be much of it left by the end of the summer anyway unless we actually get any investment in, so no big deal at that stage??

what is it with every player under the sun being linked with us. and whats the rush. the transfer window doesnt officially open until the 1st of july anyway. and even then there is still another month and a half til the season starts. think we should all stop the panicking, theres plenty of time.

Best managers we've have had in our history of course revie is a legend at leeds and will never be beaten in terms of what he achieved at the club but what other former manager's deserve to be on the list i was thinking any of the following wilkinson, oleary grayson, graham, armfield have i missed anyone? Dale lufcmad!

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Revie is peerless.None will ever compare, o'dreary in the same breath? shameful. Eddie did not get a fair crack of the whip. Worst; alan clarke, jimmy adamson, dennis wise; gary mac, venables, reid, ....the list is endless! {Ed037's Note - Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet were fantastic together in all fairness, remember that streak we went on?}

Agree5 Disagree2

Good point ed. we started the season on -15 and were awsome! Shame wise saw the pound signs in Newcastle.

Danny LUFC {Ed037's Note - Indeed}

All went t*ts up after Poyet left - Wise was exposed as a pretty dire manager after that.

Fans of the greatest club in the world - READ HERE.

Listen, I know we are all on edge regarding the current situation at our beloved club, but us constantly saying our season is over already before a fixture has even been announced is ludicrous, we need to wait and see, if we don't sign anyone and things start going down hill THEN we can all let rip, until then, let these guys do the job they are paid to do. I believe things will pan out brilliantly to us, but hey i'm one of those uncommon Leeds fans that is an optomist.

I agree with a previous post stating that if a take over was imminent then it would have been on the cards for several months. However, look at Reading, round about Xmas, when they got some investment, rather than being taken over, their best players signed contracts straight away and all the other players started playing out of their skins, hoping to get offered a new contract. Baring this in mind, look at us, can we honestly say that our players have been playing well hoping to to earn a new contract with the new boss?
Therefore, alhough I check this site every day hoping, just hoping for some news on a takeover, I can t help thinking that some investment is the best we can expect.
Maybe this will be ok? We don t need Man City s wealth to get out of this division as both Reading and QPR under Warnock have proved. With a few million investment in the squad we ve got a good chance and although we may be stuck with Captain Birdseye for a bit, I agree that he will probably sell up should we reach the Premiership. After all he s about 120 years old.
Should we get some investment, it would prove how thick some of our current squad are, having played themselves out of a
major pay day by such abject pitiful performances over the last 6 months. They ll be really kicking themselves when they re looking for a job after next month, or even worse, playing for Bradford City.
Take over is a dream, investment is more of a realistic target.
Keep the faith.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm getting tired of reading stuff on here which people post and obviously have no actual proof or source from their info other than just "their word". As we all know only too well. Leeds United F.C have always been very discreet about any dealings wether it be new signings, players leaving, contract extensions and take over bids. Nothing will change, I personally agree with this as it is the best way to do any sort of buisness. If limited people and groups know of it you have a better chance of getting a positive end result, if everyone knows everyone's buisness it can get out of hand very quick and nothing good will come of any of it. Look at the facts...

We are a big club which has no problem attracting the big names (if we are willing to pay for the sort of quality we are looking at).

We have been to League 1 and suffered financial meltdown already and are now in a position were that won't happen again unless we do a Ridsdale and spend money we don't have (which by the sounds of it alot of people on here are urging us to do) I understand how frustrating it is that we havent signed players but we must do what is best for the club.

We have released a number of players already and have a small squad so Neil Warnock "MUST" bring in players (it WILL happen) lets just support the club and not get on people's backs - especially when it is only the first week in June.

If the take over falls through we still have a great manager with Neil Warnock and a great fan base, good times are ahead with or without millions in the bank.

As for players currently at Leeds who have been offered new deals and have not signed... No matter who they are if they don't want to sign they dont have what it takes to be a LUFC player and they can all leave for me. Look at Tom Lees.. I'm sure that there will have been clubs in contact with us about his availability and he has just signed a 4 year contract (this is what we need, players who WANT to be at Leeds United)

The futures bright... the future's White!!

Well said mate. Regarding being discreet about purchases what about being discreet about sales. Does anyone think that the 11 released or transfer listed have just being sat quietly doing nothing. No course not. They or their Agents will have been busy ferreting around trying to do deals yet to be announced. So it works both ways.

Just looking at QPR's released list, feel free to post any suggestions:

Agyemang
Buzsaky

Cook
Gabbidon
One size Fitz Hall
Ramage
Shittu
Vine

Personally I'd take:
Buzsaky, Cerny, Hall, Ramage, Shittu, Vine(maybe)

WARnock's Whites

I'd have buzacky, hall, gabbidon and Vine as a fringe player

I don't think any of us should get to down beat , let's wait until Neil does a factual interview on YR. I'm Sure he'll put a decent squad together for us wether it costs money or not, the last week or so in June will be when we see the Tranfer Merrygoround start.

To the last post I really appreciate your information from e mails re Walker Morris. However, if you are involved in any way with a solicitor group or even a company dealing direct with a solicitor. Please be careful what you put out especially with your name on or senders name. For most companies this is usually deemed as a sackable offence, and regarded also revealing sensitive information. If this was anyone else other than a Leeds fan like myself I couldn't care less, but I do think we have to look after each other, as we belong to a very special club therefore all ou supporters I feel are special. Hope you didn't mind the comment. Phil Bramley {Ed013's Note - I think I will take it off just in case he gets in the S**t}

The previous post is spot on. How could we have missed out on anybody if Neil Warnock has actually said he has wanted them. According to all the blogs on all the various sites we must be after or are being associated with at least 15 different players (I have counted) so if we don't sign anyone of them, we've missed them??? How can that be when the manager has never stated one name hs is after? Phil Bramley

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Great post and exactly my thoughts, how can we have missed out on a player if we were never after him in the first place and its only been rumours with no substance!

Personaly i cant see this take over ever happening whiile big bad papa smurf is still at the club, he did once say he wouldn't rest till we were out of the football league. Thats why he is dismantling the club bit by bit, then he'll make a mint on the land. {Ed013's Note - Rubbish, because with what your saying then the Bates household will remain at Leeds for life. If Mr Bates was to pass away his wife would take control and she is more stubborn than Ken! I can assure you this, investment or takeover, Mr Bates knows that Leeds needs to spend money to get promoted and if it all falls through he will have to dig into his Moth ridden pockets. Now, Ken knows that Leeds are more attractive as a Premier League club and will get more money back with promotion. He may realises that he wont make as much as a Championship club, but realises that he will make a lot more than he has put in if he sells now and won't have to put any cash in to achieve promotion, so may take that option. Or, with investment, someone else can spend the money to gain promotion and once in the Premier League the investors buy him out or they both sell and make more cash than they would as a Championship club. Either way he has one aim, to make as much money out of this club as he can and if that means selling now and walking away or finding a way to provide the cash to gain promotion, he will. I hope that makes sense!}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Ed, you are spot on. KB is only in this business to make as much money as possible, LUFC is a business after all. Being in the Premiership is worth a fortune compared with the Championship so either he has to dig deep to fund our return to the top tier, or he has to get fresh money in, either way he gets as much out of LUFC as possible. Don't really care if he becomes even more wealthy on the back of the club as long as LUFC is as big a success as we all want it to be.

All the scaremongering about not signing players whilst everyone else is signing players 'left right and centre'! So who has signed who since the end of the season? Chelsea have signed one player, man U one player. Crystal Palace one player. We've signed one player. Anything else major? So why all the panic? Give it a rest and let's wait and see shall we!

Believable2 Unbelievable2

My guess is the panic is born out of the last few years of "bull$#it" that comes out of the club. The we hope to be bringing in a number of players soon and nothing happens

Agree5 Disagree0

Leicester 3 players 3mill

Agree2 Disagree0

Can see that but there is hardly a wave of transfers going on around us with us missing out on loads of players and falling behind in the new player stakes. The whole market is almost dead and through it all Tom Lees signing a new contract has almost gone unnoticed. One of the prime up and coming centre backs in the country has pledged himself to Leeds for four more years. Reading between the lines this signing is a very positive sign in my opinion. Sparkymarky

Agree3 Disagree0

The fact warnock said he wanted new players in asap! Also bates said last summer there would be lots of transfer activity!

Agree4 Disagree0

Bates = bull s@#t nothing is ever clear!!
Dodgy old cockney

Agree3 Disagree0

Ok. Leicester three players for 3million. Look where that got them last season! It'll happen, we just have to wait another week or so. We're not missing out on anyone significant. Joel Ward was clearly a family close by decision like Lee Bowyer last year. And once the investment/takeover is finalised Warnocks Warchest will make sure we get a promotion winning squad together. Got to be positive, otherwise we might as well not bother at all.
