Forest having a bid for McCormack.

He will play for us on Tuesday night and leave on the Friday, and who can blame him with all the things going on with our club, or not as it seems. He will go to the club we feed every year! The Mighty Norwich LOL, god how times change,! We will end up with Becs back and £3,000,000 in the coffers, and manage to stay in the league again. Get your fingers out all you buyers and sellers and stop messing with my head and all us others from the theatre of hope. oh and good luck Brian in keeping your job, I really do think you can help us get back where we belong, spend wisely in the summer Mr BMC X come on the mighty whites, we will always be marching on for you. Markyboy63 43 years a fan and I have never cared about our club as much as I do now, Because to be honest i'm worried

Probably the only chance Ross would realistically have of playing alongside Dexter Blackstock again. However, I am confident that Ross will stay at Leeds and given time and some decent team-mates will prove to be a decent captain (despite my preferred position for a captain being a commanding centre back).MOT

I can't personally see rossco going to Forrest green, not for another 10 years anyway. Ha

Lies. McDermott has said there is only interest in 1 player and it isn't Ross. It's varney

Why don't you all take a chill pill and listen to fleetwood mac 'rumours' album.have a glass of whatever, and stop making up all these stories. the reason why all is quiet is because any business deal is confidential until agreed. i'm convinced this is going to work out fine.there are 3 consortiums bidding for lufc. now please just everyone chill out.my opinion. several players getting layed into here because they are useless.not so. we just don't have the calibre of players to support them. varney is a good footballer. look up his past. green is quality hard working midfielder. I just think for bmd its all a work in progress at moment. great things don't happen overnite. so chill out and put that rumours album on. MOT

Mcdermott has said he doesn't expect further interest in ross so your surgesting you know stuff the club doesn't know you could earn a lot of money selling your extraordonary information to the press

How many top football clubs in this country are owned/run by 'consortiums'? Yet we seem to have found not one, not two but three consortiums! Consortium seems to be defined as 'a number of fairly un-wealthy individuals who want to own a football club but cannot individually afford to do so agree to pool their 'wealth' in an attempt to do so. Even if each have an equal financial stake how on earth are they all going to ever agree which players are worth buying? who does the manager speak to persuade which players to buy? especially if one or more of said consortium disagrees? Our bizarre recent TO history clearly demonstrates how long every decision will take. I hope the Rumours album is a very long listen.

At long last a Leeds fan with a brain.
100% correct sir.

I am fairly sure the plural is consotii?

Consortia. Just as the plural of any word ending in 'um' is 'ia'. Stadium-stadia. Forum - fora.

just seen on tv transfer centre

15:43

We are hearing that Blackburn Rovers are eyeing a move for Leeds United forward Luke Varney. Blackpool have also shown an interest in signing Varney before the transfer window slams shut, but Blackburn are now thought to be leading the chase for the Derby man.

For the Derby man?

I'll drive him there myself

27 Jan 2014 22:09:37
I doubt its true sounds too good to be true there would be thousands waiting to give him a lift to Blackburn

Is he not a Leeds player? This Marching On Together isn't true ffor most Leeds fans is it?

fawksey

To be honest. if we're not getting a marquee signing. Varney is one of the players I'd keep. He's not the most talented but at least he seems to give a sh*t when he pulls the shirt on. same with Brown. MOT

6 goals in 44 games matt smith has already scored that already plus he scored a hatrick against hull XI behind closed doors varney is the worst striker in the football league he never scores he always misses even from a foot i'd like to think i'd score more than that in 44 games and this clown was a replacement for Snodgrass what a joke he sums up warknocks time at leeds

28 Jan 2014 03:16:55
Reply to the person mentioned "marching on together" I don't know which club you support because it obviously ain't leeds united his a bad player and is bad for our club we want rid and we will march on together at least untill the world stops going round other clubs can't handle 100 percent of our support are die hard fans we live and breath leeds united 100 percent of us we always fill our away allocations and put most premiership attendences to shame so do your research before you start surgesting we aren't loyal because we have the best fans in the world we want players that everytime they pull on the leeds shirt feel great pride and everytime they walk onto the elland road pitch get a buzz and get fired up and want to give everything we will support leeds no matter how bad they get because we continue to march on together and always will as long as this club exsists

I'll drive him there myself

i just can't see how varney moving out on loan would benefit leeds united unless we go and loan a player . if varney goes and we can't get anyone else in we are a player down . varney isn't too bad a player he just isn't a striker or a winger . he should really be played just off the striker.

27 Jan 2014 15:15:45
Varney going to Blackburn 100%

27 Jan 2014 16:24:22
Blackburn Rovers are after Leeds United's, Luke Varney according to ssn

27 Jan 2014 16:41:08
Can't see varney been allowed to go anywhere until we have another replacing him

Apparently Blackburn and Varney are happy for the transfer to go through- the only sticking point is how many seasons Leeds are prepared to continue paying his wages after the transfer in order to get him out of our club. Haigh is currently consulting Robbie Fowler's agent via text because he cannot afford to call him on his mobile. MOT

It would be crazy to let Varney go in our present predicament. Unbelievable it may be to some, but he's arguably our second best central attacker at present! Chapel A

Sam has said no more signings at west ham

the jyg

So we've missed out on offloading this waster yet again, should have got rid when Middlesborough came calling and we've missed the boat again.

If I remember right big Sam said they COULDN'T sign anyone in Jan as the club had used all its revenue for this season? People have short memories :). Andy MOT

27 Jan 2014 09:35:46
A new revised offer today will be a comprise a £4m fee plus £1m of add-ons dependent on McCormack's appearances for the east London club.

4m and Carlton Cole please

Carlton Cole? no thanks! we'll stick with the championships top scorer.

Sam Allerdyce has also come out today saying he won't be adding anymore signings to the sqaud as they hit there 25 man limit.

Please get it into your head he's not going anywhere MOT

2nd post spot on

West HAM have also signed another midfielder AND New striker
Surely Ross must think about how much game time he'd get at West Ham? Look at Becchios plight at Norwich as a sample in case!!

Sam allerdyce now saying after the two players he's already signed that will be it for jan, so can't see another bid being made

Off point- Some . Just heard from one of Leeds United Academy juniors whose dad is also security officer based at TA (where his wife is also a canteen lady)- Brian Mac seen in a Cagliari estate agents this weekend and this source has been told that Cellino has offered Ivo Pulga a job swap with Brian as an alternative to joining Cellino's long list of club manager sackings. This source has always been spot on in the past. You heard it here first.

Hello boys and girls! I have good news regarding transfers. McCormack will NOT be sold and Leeds are eying a move for Rangers striker Big Jon Daly, Brian hopes to conclude a deal by Friday.

Dont be a silly billy ross WILL go as the club have no money. Also there will be NO new signings, this is because the club has no money and as david haigh's bid to takeover the club has collapsed, they have to pay back the cash haigh and his pals have put into the club. FACT!

Get real we won't get any1 same old I'm afraid

I have heard that Daly is the main target, McDermott is desperate to get him in whether McCormack leaves or not. Would cost around £800,000.

The guy said 'FACT!', there is no arguing with that logic.
I too remain hopeful on this one, Rosco to stay and a oan striker in, no need to threat about this tear push, we will have to do our money deals in the summer.

I've also heard that Daly will be travelling tomorrow for a medical

Daly would be a terrific addition, big, strong and also very good with the ball at his feet. Age could be a problem but stars like Daly don't become available for that kind of price every day, really hope we can get this one done!

This deal will NOT happen. No other deals will happen either. When will you realise - We have NO money!

27 Jan 2014 00:07:18
McDermott will NOT be sacked as Leeds United manager

He will do if we don't win our next two matches, so seeya brian

Hopefully your wrong. he is a nice guy but a useless manager

He will be if Massimo Cellino is part of the takeover or indeed if this current poor form continues

I like Brian but he just might get the push. Not sure about his ability tbh
Conspicuous in his absence recently and there are manager's like Malky McKay unemployed.
My personal opinion is that all manager's should be given at least 3 years to prove themselves and give the squad continuity.

Can't believe people are talking of sacking and wanting BMD to go!
6 weeks ago he could do no wrong!
This guy is a quality manager and has proved it, the issue he has is the fact the squad isn't good enough, which isn't down to him. He has brought in some decent players on limited funds but we all know that to compete in the Championship, you need to spend a fair chunk of money, which he hasn't been given.
If he did go, who would come in and do anythafing better, Nobody! Plus nobody with any calibre would want to join unless significant monies were made available.
Lets get behind McD, he is the man for the job but he needs cash (and players that want to come), just remember he isn't a magician and can't polish a turd (metaphor that means he can't turn what he has into Real Madrid, so get off his back)
P.S. If Ross McTiny Man goes to West Ham, were are royally in the pooper!

Mcdermotts a good manager and cares about this club and is a good lad we are very lucky to have such a good manager you wait till end of season when 6 players are going and he can spend some money on players I think they will be strong next season we keep replacing managers once a year and its costing us compensation and we buy praticly a new squad every year again cost money the players his signed are good his got the best out of mcormack than any other manager baring in mind his 27 we don't need to bring in someone who will rip apart the squad because if we keep doing this we will never go up give him 3 years to build because this club has intelligent owners who know sacking a manager whos quality doesent work and he need time I think its disgusting people expect him to go up his first season no need to put pressure on the lad give him 3 years he will get it right

You can't polish a turd, but u can roll it in glitter ;)
