I am connected to Thorpe Arch, and admittedly drunk, however i have seen or heard about neither McFadden, Beckford, Smith, Woodgate Or Yeboah . The news tonight is 'Hill", 'Clint Hill'

Please no!!!!! he wasnt good enough for birmingham so why would he be good enough for us? hes past it!! maybe we can offer him a position as a steward!! lol

Ed! What is he talking about above when he says "not heard about Yeboah?"
Has he not heard of him or is there like a management/coach rumour of some kind linked? He clearly isn't still playing at 45! {Ed013's Note - Lets just say it was posted around the time of night when its possible a lot of alcohol may have been consumed!}
Agree0

Not connected to thorpe arch but did a show with Mcfadden's cousin who is a good mate of mine, she said he wants to go back home which for thoes of you unsure is scotland. dont think he would sign for leeds unless we showed real interest and deisre to get him which i dont think we would/should

Just out of interest how much is beckford on at leicester? Because all we can offer is max 15k (correct me if I'm wrong) just didn't know how much of a wage drop it would be if he did return to Leeds? {Ed013's Note - About 35K}

Let's hope he comes here -Leeds is going to be the place to be. Liking the way the summer's going so far -NW impressing me with who he's talking to, and his pragmatism when it comes to the likes of Mac and Clayton (neither of whom could get in the team remember, when we were flying in 2010-11).

Please forgive me for being a tad negative but just exactly are you impressed by?? talking to who exactly? talking means nothing, all i see is more players wanting to leave than wanting to join, i see a long hard season ahead unfortunately for us long suffering lufc fans.

The unknown clubs are derby and Ipswich and we're closer to the deal than they are but nothings been agreed or decided on

beckford would be a good re sign i think. maybe a few players from qpr would be good but only ones that have the experience of playing championship and promotion.
a keeper is needed although lonagran or what ever his name is, is a decent shot stopper i feel he has a part to blame in most goals conceeded.

Reo-Cocker activated his own relaese clause in his contract (prob so he can move back to the prem and keep his high wages) - We have no chance
Robinson although solid and no nonsense wasnt sensational when he was on loan and Warnock didnt seem all that impressed - No point
Klasnic would be an amazing signing with his eye for goal. M Connolly is a decent prospect. Would be happy wi both.
Agree0

Warnock's already said he doesn't want Robinson or we'd have signed him by now and i'm pretty sure Matt Connoly plays for QPR.

I'm told there have been multiple offers for the club over the past few years, but that the current board are interested only in a cash investment rather than a sale.
The club is independently valued at around £45m, but Ken's asking price is £90m i.e. the club is not for sale except for silly money. It is NOT an attractive investment currently, with no stadium or training ground and a steadily declining fanbase.

10 Mil to 15 mil? Don't own Stadium, don't own thorp arch. teams thats not all been sold yet is worth about 10 - 11 mil.

Well he seems to value things far more than reality but i would think £25,000,000 should be tempting enough for him to walk away,bearing in mind how old he is now too!! it all depends on his restrictions regarding the administration etc!

He wants 100 mil now or 150 mil when we reach the prem league after buying the everything back with the money received for going up and hes not intending on putting any money into new players

NEWSFLASH!!
Ross McCormack set to leave Leeds after turning down contract offer, now we know who asked for £15K!
Leeds boss Neil Warnock admits he does not expect striker Ross McCormack to accept the club's terms on a new contract.
The 25-year-old's current deal runs to next summer, but his decision to refuse an extension could see the Scotland international leave during the close season.
McCormack was signed from Cardiff on a three-year deal in 2009 and after a quiet first season at Elland Road he hit the net 19 times during the last campaign.
"It's unlikely he'll sign," Warnock said. "We've offered Ross an increase but his representatives made it clear that they're looking for a more significant increase after the season he's had.
"We've agreed to play it by ear and see where things go from here but he's going into his last year and it might be that people come in for him now."
Believable21

Ed, would it be possible to not allow the same rumour to be posted so much? as just take a look at the main page, so many others have already posted this news about Ross, it just clutters up the page
I know it means more work for you, but the only alternative is for users to actually read the site before posting {Ed013's Note - I am trying mate, but there is more than me on here so the other eds may not see that it is already posted. I am trying to get rid of the unbelievable one's, the Smith one's and any that repeat themselves}
Agree0

Think it was Aidy White who asked for £15K not Ross. Would like to know how much we have actually offered our top goal scorer to stay! {Ed013's Note - It wasn't Aidy White it was Adam Clayton's agent}
Agree0
Disagree0
Thanks Ed, while I have posted fair amount of times on here, most of it about how some people are idiots for posting rubbish, despite them, I do enjoy coming here on a daily basis, and your work is appreciated, so please don't take my comments in a negative way, it's just frustrating seeing posters not use some common sense
Agree0

Sod Mcormack and his greedy agent. There is better out there who would kill to wear the white shirt. White til I die.
Agree0
Disagree0
We should be paying our best players ross, snoddy etc 15 to 25 k per week if we are to compete. we will now have to let our top scorer go and replace him with who? beckford and pay him 30 k a week? dont think so and he aint nowhere near as good as ross anyway. defo think snoddy will be on his way soon.we simply are not competing at the level we need to both these players can get 20 to 25k a week in the premn and with other championship clubs... 12 k a week get real.
Agree0

Hi Ed - Origional poster here, yes i had seen it on the forum earlier, but ive pasted the details from the yorkshire post with NW comments, so evryones doesnt have to start to google it as its a correct rumour rather than someone guessing. {Ed007's Note - No worries mate.}

Macca out, Darius Henderson in, as I posted before, rated by NW as one of the best in the division, wouldn't cost as much as we'd get for Macca and woud probably want less wages.

Disagree0
If you seriously think that championship players like snodgrass and mccormack should be on 25k a week then you need to wake up and get off champ manager. paying stupid wages is why leeds got in a mess last time
Agree0
Disagree0
To the guy who stated we should be paying our best players £25k a week, What world do you live in? How many should earn this amount? if it was say 4 players, that would cost the club after tax and national insurance £6 million pound alone. What do you think the other 20 players in the squad would say then? Do you understand that to pay for these 4 players the club would need to sell 250,000 tickets at around £25.
Please everyone use to sense and have a think before you talk rubbish!
Agree0

Absolute rubbish, no offence to Ross but he has had one good season. Let him go there are better strikers out there.
TeejLUFC

I fear this will trigger a chain re-action with Snoddy waiting to see wo is signed / who stays.
Agree0
Disagree0
So if Clayton wanted 15K and was rightly turned down, how much do we think McCormack is turning down from us? Likewise what do you think Snoddy's 'top' wages being offered are? I find this whole wages thing really hard to get my head around cos I don't really know what the going rate in the championship would be for an average striker like McCormack or average midfieilder like Clayton. I do believe that Snoddy is better than average, on his day he is very good but again what wages does a very good on his day striker deserve? Ed - can you shed any light on what you believe the 4 guys have been offered and what they likely want? {Ed013's Note - I believe Snoddy would be offered in the region of 15K where as Ross around 10K max. Clayton was on 2K and his agent wanted 15K}
Agree0
Disagree0
Love the comment "There are plenty better out there who would love to wear the white shirt."
Who? The sad truth is we don't have the pull we once did, as we have been out of the top flight for 7 years. Says it all about the club's ambition.
Football is a different game to how it was in the Revie or Wilko era. Players won't just come because it is Leeds, as we have seen time and time and time again.
Agree0
Disagree0
Let him go... I'm sure we could bring in a proven scorer at this level and move forward
Agree0
Disagree0
To the guy going on about tax and NI etc. First, you've got your maths appallingly wrong. £25k a week is about £1.5m per year.
And as for the bilge about tax, NI etc, you're starting to sound like Ken on one of his broadcasts. You don't hear other Chairmen going on about this, its all just excuses for not investing properly in the team. The player is liable for tax and National Insurance, not the club. Recommend you head back to finance school for a refresher session, and stop listening to Yorkshire Radio!
Agree0
Disagree0
The club pays National Insurance as an employer. £25k a week comes to £1.3million a year, but with agent fees, NI and other costs 4 players on £25k would be about £6million per year.
15,000 season ticket holders raises approx £10million.
Jake
Agree0
Disagree0
To the guy commenting to the guy going on about tax and NI etc. Firstly you are correct 25k per week is around 1.5m per year, But he also stated to pay four players this over a year would cost around 6m a year. Hence 4 x 1.5 = 6. Thank you and goodnight Brayzerwhite
Agree0
Disagree0
To last message. i think he meant for 4 players which would total 6 mil lol
Agree0
Disagree0
We really will not miss Mac if we get Beckford, who will score more goals; and Boyd, who is more creative. Bring it on!
Agree0
Disagree0
Swiss ramble studies on football finances report says what we all know that Leeds can afford to be paying more for players and on their wages in relation to our turnover.where is this money going, to develop the ground? We should have a top wage bracket of 15 to 20 k a week for our top 4 to 5 players not 10 to 15 k and we could even push to 25 k for one or 2 exceptional players.we are not competing even with the top championship clubs our best players keep leaving and we cannot compete with others. Snoddy will go next and we already are losing out to players we want. 12 k a week for your top scorer that's a joke.

Beckford over mccormack .what a joke . mccormack is alot better than beckford . his work rate is better mccormack would of scored alot more goals than he did if leeds had been playing well all season .
beckford is fast and can score but once his head drops its like playing with 10 men .
Agree0
Disagree0
I'll definitely take Beckford over McCormack 365 days a year! It's sounding like Ross has rejected his new contract (after we stuck with him following his awful debut season for us, shocking). Get rid of him and use the funds to entice Jermaine 'what shirt am I wearing bruv' Beckford back where he belongs. - JamesC
Agree0
Disagree0
Not a joke at all, ! perhaps not Beckford inparticular, but pace makes defences back off allowing space for others Snodgrass for example and the midfield. Likes of Ross defences are not worried about him running them.
Agree0
Disagree0
Most of the posts on here are very amusing, but it's getting tedious now with the constant Beckford talk. I don't want him back at my club. He's a petulant brat that on his day is good at best, but he's far from brilliant, and he hardly sets the heather alight. However, he's good at feigning injury or his he trying to push the stuffing back into his empty head?

Really hope we get Beckford -a proven winner, with those all important X-factors: pace and timing. McCormack is decent, but I'd take Beckford over Mac every time.

Cant help thinking that (Go with me here) Leeds offered Ross a new deal kind of expecting him to decline it, creates a media circus about the top scorer wanting out, then we sell him for half decent money and bring in an attacker with Pace.. Seems Warnock never fancied him / trusted him to lead the line in the games he was in charge. Played him as a winger .... {Ed013's Note - I had thought of that myself and if I we are honest would we miss him! Yes, before I get slated, he scored 19 goals, but how much of his playing time was greedy and losing the ball? How many times did he miss the target? etc etc. The one thing that sticks in my mind is when he scored and ignored SG as he was more bothered about pointing to the name on his back! Just things to think about as I believe we can bring in better and hopefully Somma can get over the injury and come back strong}

Ross McCormack will reject new deal according to the YEP.
Looks lime we're essentially looking for a brand new team. Problem is, as we saw with Johnson/Kilkenny/Gradel/Howson, with the wages we pay, we won't be able to bring in a replacement of the same quality. Will have to be a gamble on someone. In my opinion, we can forget promotion. Teams don't get thrown together over the summer and then go up. {Ed013's Note - QPR did}
Believable16
Unbelievable11
Yes but qpr wasn't paying peanuts to there players .bates OUT .top gks and defenders should be on 5 - 10 k per week top midfield should be on 10 - 15 k and top strikers should be up to 25 k in the championship . {Ed013's Note - The wage cap will be 20 grand max}

Agree0

Nothing in yorkshire post of evening post, so where's this from ?
Agree0
Disagree0
Original poster here. Ed - I believe the wage cap is 15k per week, which we have offered Snodgrass. I would also concede QPR did do it to some extent, but they also spent 29m on wages, which is triple our budget.
To the person talking about negativity - its more being realistic. I don't see any point in pretending that we're going to go up next year when once again we're unable to keep our best players. The problem at the club is Bates. We have plenty of money to spend on a highly.competitive team, but year after year the money goes into pointless redevelopment work and Bates's pockets. But.if Leeds.fans just stopped giving him cash then he'd have no.choice but to sell up.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why forget promotion, the season is three months away. There is plenty of time to gel a team togheter....
Agree0
Disagree0
To be honest Ross should show a bit more loyalty to the club who really salvaged his career.He was out injured for a long time joined Leeds when he was over weight and they stuck by him after a rather disapointing first season the club should not be held to ransom i would rather have a player with hunger and passion for my team but does Ross really care about Leeds i think not!.
Agree0
Disagree0
Original poster here - agree on loyalty point. Unfortunately, since the advent of the mega-millions in football, player loyalty is a thing of the past. They have short careers, and in 99.9% of cases are interested in nothing more than filling their pockets with as much bunce as possible before retirement.
I don't understand people harking back to the Revie or Wilko era - those were totally different times, on a completely different football landscape. There is no loyalty now other than to the bank balance.
Agree0
Disagree0
Fans, players and agents need to realise that the FFP rules will bring a change to what clubs can offer players. Clubs can no longer afford to throw big salaries at players unless they are prepared to take a massive gamble.
The £15k/wk offered to Snoddy will become a top end salary in the Championship, and looking at other clubs turnovers not many will be able to afford that.
The problem is Ross thinks he can get more than that and the only place he will get that is the Premiership because even Leicester are looking to get rid of their big earners (Mills & Beckford for example)
Agree0
Disagree0
To the poster above who said "But.if Leeds.fans just stopped giving him cash then he'd have no.choice but to sell up" what do you think will happen to Leeds United if every fan stops buying tickets, merchandise etc etc?
This is what will happen turnover will drop significantly which means less money to invest in the team, quality of the team reduces, the club makes losses instead of profit, the club goes into administration etc etc.
So you would be happy for your club to die to get rid of Bates
Agree0
Disagree0
Yes ed qpr did go straight up but look how much money they spent {Ed013's Note - I don't know on wages, but on transfers it wasn't a lot}
Agree0
Disagree0
Original poster again - the club will die if Bates stays anyway. We URGENTLY need a return to the Premier League, I cannot stress this enough. Year after year, the fan base is declining as fans simply lose interest. The club also doesn't have the pull it once did. Players reaching 18/19 now will not remember Leeds as a big Premiership club, but a League 1/Championship club.
And worrying about how the club pays its bills if Bates's business plan doesn't succeed is for Ken himself to worry about. Rather administration etc, he would either begin investing in the team to draw the fans back, or sell up.
Agree0
Disagree0
To the poster who said "what do you think will happen to Leeds United if every fan stops buying tickets, merchandise etc etc?" Bates is taking the fans for mugs. He is spending your money redeveloping a ground that the club doesnt own, and he will only use it to charge the club higher rent, or a premium to buy it back in the future when he sells it on. Its like a landlord making a tennent pay to do up his house, and then sticking the rent up cos its a nicer house! Anyone who continues to fund Bates is a mug.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its the same old story as it was on here last year ppl complaining that we hadn't signed anyone and others saying there is nothing to worry about most saying the squad as it was was good enough to at least make the playoffs and some even tipping us for a promo spot(last year) lol. And what happened nothing we sold some of our better players replaced them with a few world beaters lol sacked the manager and replaced him with another and finished 14th while in the end bates made 3.5mill profit. When oh when are the fans going to wake up. The pessimists are actually realists trying to wake other fans up but tbh whats the point if they have not woken up by now they never will.

I know this is going to sound like im just badmouthing him because he is leaving, but his consistency is terrible.
I've always found McCormack to be a confidence player, as I personally think he is too easily frustrated if he cannot score. He is a good player, but for 5 to 6 games at a time he will be non-existent on a pitch.
He is someone i'd like to have kept, and I know there isn't many player who can keep form all year, but when he plays bad, he really doesn't seem to be trying at all.
This is just my personal opinion, and I haven't watched him every single game, but I think if he does go I have faith Warnock can bring in someone better for less wages, and money.

Same old story if he turns down a contract he is suddenly a bad player. They cant see the real problem at the moment. These players can get better deals elsewhere and they do end of story. Its not like they are leaving a team of world beaters, they are leaving the most unstable team in the division. What are the fans expecting, the only rumours that are looking like coming true atm are the one's of players leaving. I wouldn't come anywhere near leeds atm if I was a player and thats being a leeds fans so best of luck bring in new players its going to be the same old story all over again.

£1.5m for one championship player? Why not buy 3 good players for roughly 500k like Pearce?
