Everton could be heading for a fire sale, following the news today that 777partners takeover deal almost certainly dead in the water due to multiple financial irregularities in the states.

Gnoto statement from club….

The statement read: “Earlier this week, Willy Gnonto and his representatives were informed by the club that he would not be sold this summer.

“Following those conversations, Willy felt he was unable to play in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie with Shrewsbury Town.

“Despite training for the last two days, Willy has informed Daniel Farke that he still does not feel able to play this weekend and has not travelled to Birmingham for the game tomorrow.

“This is now an internal disciplinary matter and the club will make no further comment, other than to reiterate that Willy is not for sale.

Which translated means he will go but it won’t be cheap, liking this new regime management of the situation.

Agree Class, everyone is for sale but we hold all the cards.
Long contract, no clause that we are aware of.

probably not.


2.) 14 Feb 2023 15:12:32
To be fair Baz Nuno didn’t rip it up at Spurs but Levy never backed him, my brother Spurs season ticket holder rates Nuno higher than Conte.

Plus I think Nuno is a good option as he has the EPL experience and I like the fact he’s calm and measured after the silly antics of Jesse jumping around, doesn’t show a manager focussed or in control of his thoughts and emotions.

If they’re going to do it, then it needs to happen now!

Fully agreed Class.

it's not as if Leeds United are a top 6 Champions league team that can attract Poch or Tuchel

OK Here's a Quiz . Watford / Leeds themed


1) Which Leeds United 1970s superb creative midfield maestro began his career with Watford?

2) Apart from Watford and Leeds United name THREE other clubs Steve Hodge played for?

And

3) Name the TWO Leeds United players who played under the great David Oleary teams
who played in the 2006 Play Off final between Leeds United and Watford?


3.) 24 Mar 2024 00:48:00
I like your quizzes Baz, so here are my answers mate:

Answer 1. The great and legend that is Tony Currie.

Answer 2. Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur.

Answer 3. Gary Kelly and Eric Bakke.


4.) 24 Mar 2024 01:31:42
Thank you Woody pal

Super correct answers Woody ; you even giving 4 correct clubs for Steve Hodge.

I thought question 3 might prove to be the most tricky (re Eirik Bakke ) .


5.) 24 Mar 2024 06:43:59
Cheers Baz and yes question 3 was a poser, I was thinking Killgannon then I remembered Eric. Such a great young team that should really of done more! Nice one though Baz as it gets the old grey matter working ??.


 

 

18 Mar 2024 11:07:45
Just watched the game (back from Mrs Class birthday weekend) and what a superbly measured performance against a team who give new meaning to the word dark arts! But love our skinny little fighter Gruev who never shirks a battle.

How a referee and his two assistants could not arrive at a correct decision of a penalty (GBH) and dismiss Jake Cooper beggars belief.

But I’m with Ani and his excellent assessment that discussing contentious decisions is still far more preferable to stop start VAR fiasco in the epl who still get as many decisions wrong as right.

My reason for writing is in praise of Farley’s tactical change. Think it’s fair to say we’ve been (deliberately) conservative in our approach play in particular since Amps has gone into the back line, rather than tearing into opponents we are more Citeh like in passing sideways in and around our 18 yard box, and appear to go backwards when it seems we are in a strong position to attack?

I believe Farkey realised teams had worked us out previously in particular with a low block and now, either before, and then even more so after our first goal we hold onto the ball in and around our eighteen yard box and say to the opposition here’s the ball you’ll have to come up here to get it though.

Now admittedly it can be frustrating and plays havoc with my old ticker but it’s working as it creates pockets of space for Gio to exploit and with amps range of passing and bam bams willingness to run in behind it sews doubt into the oppositions defence to go tight or drop off.

Again, not the prettiest at times and not without risk of getting caught in possession but it’s working, and if it works until the final game then all hail mr farkes genius to adapt and play differently.

Special mention for Gio yesterday who along with Amps and Rodon is probably now irreplaceable and does what no other player in the division can do.

Mot but one game at a time I’m not underestimating just how tough this league and every game is to win.

Classof92

1.) 18 Mar 2024 11:49:50
Interesting post Class
BUT that tactic definitely has significant risks when it is level especially .

. to be frank 1st half against some teams away this year we could/ should have been 1 or 2 goals down in 1st half

Leeds have at times been awful in their slow ponderous play 1st half and very lucky to get away with it!


2.) 18 Mar 2024 12:21:18
Good post and explanation of going from attack to our back line. You maybe right. It def is frustrating to watch. But. We are looking assured and nigh on unbeatable at the moment. The last couple games I never once thought we would lose. We control games most of the time, in possession and out.
Wall were appalling skill wise and dirty too.
But you would have to use the dirty word re ref. I’m convinced he got a pay off yesterday. That thuggery in penalty area has to be reviewed.
It’s going to be a roller coaster. But we in control. Any 2 from 4 still.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 12:29:44
Being top of the league Baz must be very difficult for you to swallow I imagine, given your impressive predictions. ?
You never took into consideration the situation that severely hampered the start of our season and that obviously away games would be more challenging until our team would pick up its full momentum.
You totally underestimated Farke and the players we have, you completely berated the club for not buying more and more players in January and now that is fully vindicated that it was not necessary, especially when we’ve won almost every game since January 1st.

I could go on but I’m bored and need to walk the dog.


4.) 18 Mar 2024 12:44:17
Delighted Leeds are top of League OP and hopefully Leeds will go up OP.

But hold your horses just yet. facts are 3 other teams have virtually the same points . so whilst it has been a fabulous 2024 for results so far . it will count for nothing if we don't go up

Some on here have erronously ruled out Ipswich and now Saints .


5.) 18 Mar 2024 13:17:08
If you read my posts properly you will see that I am very humble about where we are because I know in football anything can change. I can also tell from the interviews with the players, they also understand that we have achieved nothing yet until the last game of the season is concluded.
I still stay with my forecast that I made at the beginning of the season that we will win this league, I do believe Class also made that same forecast if I’m not wrong.
Onwards and Upwards.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 13:57:58
Come on Baz “Virtually 3 other teams have the same points” what sort of a statement is that? That has got to be one of the most nonsensical things you’ve posted, Leicester yes but Ipswich and Southampton no, and as Vid says I would rather have the points on the board! That as well as the run we are on, no one else is apart from maybe Ipswich. Come on Baz, it is what it is and we are it mate so happy days for all the rose tinted boys ??????.


7.) 18 Mar 2024 14:49:51
My dear Woody

re read my post and then your post ; I stated ' 3 other teams have virtually the same points '

Leicester identical ( with one game in hand ) .

Ipswich one point behind ( so virtually identical. )

Southampton. ok 9 points behind. but 2 games in hand . if they win those 3 points behind out of 81 ( virtually identical )

But yes looking much more promising than 2 months ago.


8.) 18 Mar 2024 15:36:31
Yes, OP, had two bets, with one to go up as champions and another automatic promotion, BUT, in agreement re maintaining a humble quiet disposition until the weight watchers lady finally sings, as nothing is certain other than a resolute belief in Farkey and the boys, but in football parlance (especially with refs like yesterday) one game at a time, let’s see where it takes us.


9.) 18 Mar 2024 15:50:16
It’s all nit picking just enjoy where we are no matter your right I am wrong team I am always wrong so what that’s how the world goes round have a ? happy day for all surely, but Baz is right??????????????????.

11.) 18 Mar 2024 17:15:41
If nitpicking is the game, someone needs to review the definition of “identical”.
No such thing as virtually identical. As Master Yoda would say; “ It is, or is not! ”.


12.) 18 Mar 2024 17:38:22
Great post, class. Playing lateral and horseshoe passing patterns is a good way to stretch play and draw out low blocks. We can't always penetrate effectively playing vertically, as much as we would all like us to. It's generally smart play as long as its used in conjunction with trying progressive stuff, rather than it being either or.


13.) 18 Mar 2024 17:43:13
Bright ?we are all on the same side??.


14.) 18 Mar 2024 18:37:29
Brighty Yoda.

I wrote in my initial post 'virtually the same' ( which is 100 % correct)

By the way having just checked with Collins dictionary and Cambridge dictionary. the collocation ' virtually identical ' does exist, is permissable and is terminology to use also.


15.) 18 Mar 2024 19:07:55

16.) 18 Mar 2024 19:10:17

Slightly off topic, but having watched Ambrosia (I think) fortunately beat Everton, like to ask Ed0025 what he thinks of Sean Dyche? Cannot dispute he CAN get results but I could never watch his brand of football week in week out …. Be great to get a Everton’s fan perspective?

Classof92

{Ed025's Note - I think most of us are on the fence Co92, he has got us solid and hard to beat but some of the football is dire mate. He plays one up front on his own and very little support from midfield. But it is what it is and if he keeps us up he will have done his job..


1.) 09 Mar 2024 18:08:30
I love Dyce he consistently gets results.

I know many fans who moan about dire football… then sack a manager like Dyce or rowett (as the case with millwall.

They then bring in a good footballing manager. they then get beat most weeks and sack the manager for someone more like what they had,

Football is a results business as sammer once said (and he won everything) you enjoy winning that is all that matters if you enjoy the football that is a bonus

I’d take a 1-0 George Graham win over a wonder 4-5 loss.

{Ed025's Note - i think there is a middle ground Bermo, you see at the moment we are not winning games and playing very poorly as well mate, its very frustrating..


2.) 09 Mar 2024 18:50:01
I do get that mate but truth is for a king while you’ve had a poor team lacking quality. He has done well to keep you up.

We would never know but if you bring in a football playing manager like kompany I think you would of been in a far worst position

Look at Luton they play like a team who are scrapping and they know they are the poorer team most weals so they play a fitting style and might just survive as a result.


3.) 09 Mar 2024 19:39:20
It’s an entertainment business Bermo surely you of all on here understand that?
Then again in saying that I watched one of your movies once!
???
In all seriousness the Ed is right in you need a bit of middle ground.
Wilkos Leeds united were that. Dogged yet could play scintillating football.


4.) 09 Mar 2024 21:37:23
No in all honesty I don’t, same with films… is it better to make a great film that breaks even or an awful film that sells well?

Same with football I love winning, if I like the football it’s a bonus not the main point

We have played great this season and won… that’s quality… we have also played below average and won… that’s also great

Great football is a bonus and brilliant and the dream senario but I’d take a poor win any day.

If we okay awful for rest of season and bore every game to a 1-0 win and go up I’ll be very very happy

As sammer said… enjoy winning the football comes second.

{Ed025's Note - im with CORK Bermo...its an entertainment industry, paying good money to watch overpaid prima donnas prance around for 90 minutes and not give a toss about the supporters or the club is not my idea of value mate..


5.) 09 Mar 2024 23:12:30
I can see both your points and agree to a huge extent… but take millwall as prime example.

Rowett over achieved with a small club with small budget for four years…. They nearly made playoffs which is huge considering time at club

Fans said we want to see better football, so they bring in Edward, highly rated coach at England and Chelsea… he wanted to play football the right way…. As a result the club got beat most weeks and went from playoffs to relegation. So they bring in Harris… since then the football has been ‘worse’ the results are better.

Not every team can play pretty football, if you are lucky enough to support a team who can play pretty football fantastic… if you support most clubs who can’t…. Then play to win…. The win should be the entertainment.


6.) 10 Mar 2024 10:50:00
That's why bermo that in my opinion bielsa was and is an amazing coach.
He takes very ordinary teams and makes them win and gets them playing attractive exiting football.
He has done it all around the world and he is doing it with Uruguay.
But there is a limit to what coaching and system and hard work can do.
I think once belief is gone the team returns to being ordinary.


7.) 10 Mar 2024 11:43:52
Ben as a coach I do agree.

He was a world class coach, he improves players and gets teams playing great football

However my gripe was as a manager, four years and a small fortune to take leeds where?

Making same mistakes, leaking goals for fun and can’t buy a win

Ideally there is a middle ground like farke and klopp

However if middle ground can’t be found I’d look at a manager like moyes or Dyce over Belisa

Look at Everton and West Ham… leeds got relegated and there lies the main point of my arguement

Results over style when push comes to shove.


8.) 10 Mar 2024 12:57:02
Klopp had spend 1 billion. Pep spent a similar amount and that was after inheritong a team who had already won the title. The 'fortune' you claim Bielsa spent is a drop in the ocean compared to what you actually spend to compete in the Premier league, especially since half the players we bought were injured.


9.) 10 Mar 2024 13:25:44
Bermo yes money was spent but not nearly in the amounts needed in the prem. We needed major investment from the moment we went up. Probably in the amounts that were spent for Jesse.
Bielsa needed a quality bench so the team could have dealt with injuries. Instead we had u21s and championship players as reserve.
That's why I think farke has been helped this year in that he has he benefits of 2 years of premier money inheriting the likes of gio gnonto and dj. Also the likes of cree and Joseph and struijk maturing.


10.) 10 Mar 2024 14:27:38
What's this yet another rinse and repeat rant by Berm on Bielsa.

Surely not ?

# rent free.


11.) 10 Mar 2024 14:51:51
I admit he is in my head. as are most useless managers who destroyed my club… I’ll even admit I still wake up about once a month in a cold sweat screaming HOCKADAY

But you gaz always have to comment… if I didn’t know better I’d say I’m living in you heads rent free, which o guess means you are also paying for besila who is living in mind

I’m in your head … in your head… Bermo … Bermo ber ber ber mo.

08 Mar 2024 10:13:50
Well got a tummy like I’m sitting outside the headmaster’s study, again!

Think one man is most critical to tonight’s success and for me that’s the referee.

Gio and Jimmy have clearly been unfairly targeted since the Huddersfield game as a way of getting parity with us.

Just like that early goal, tonight’s ref must be brave to apply the right level of punishment irrespective of how early in the game it is. I fear a serious, season ending injury if we do not see stronger refs going forward.

Assuming we get a half decent ref I think we win by two goals, strangely have a hunch that Piroe may figure in the scoring this evening.

However, going by my record of predicting the correct outcome don’t rule out it being an own goal!

Hope the ref is fair, we have our mojo fully restored and we win by two…. possibly three.

Classof92

1.) 08 Mar 2024 11:01:35
Great post

Rutter is a game changer but that means he has had two sometimes three men on him. This is a compliment and gives space to others and takes the strain off of our defence.

Jimmy also great but had two men on him, plus teams sit back which stops us on the break which is our main atreanght with jimmy.

Great call about the ref, I miss var with a passion m, how many times have we played against 12 men. The pen shouts at West Brom really stand out and that alone would of given us three extra points in the table plus the lack of protection against the filthy Preston

Can’t wait till next year… when we can all start moaning about car again!


2.) 08 Mar 2024 11:23:16

Good posts guys.

I’m going with Baz’s prediction of a cheeky 1-0 win. Probably going to be a tough watch though. Having said that, after following the test match earlier today then a dire performance from ourselves would still be a significant upgrade on England’s first two days in the cricket!


5.) 08 Mar 2024 15:06:39
Hopefully we are right Cleggy on 1 nil win to Leeds!


As ever Leeds need to start well and keep to that level throughout! . please.

{Ed025's Note - tough one tonight Baz, all derbies are hard to predict mate and i dont think a draw away is that bad a result myself


6.) 08 Mar 2024 15:45:31
I’ve thought exactly the same things class! The last 3 games there have been far too many heavy fouls (not heavy challenges! ) on Gio and Cree, that have either gone unpunished, or severely “under” punished. If the Hooters get away with the first big clat or two on either man, and get away with it, then that will set the tone for the evening. I hope my Bulgarian Brute has his steel toes on tonight to give some retribution; somebody needs to take the role of “minder” for both of them.


7.) 08 Mar 2024 16:18:59
I have an uneasy feeling about tonight's game, I expect them to be similar in their approach as Huddersfield were on Saturday. But as I have said before, if we play our best game we will win. A performance like Swansea or Leicester away please. UTW.


8.) 08 Mar 2024 18:00:31
Cheees Ed0025 . a draw might not be a bad result IF our rivals falter too at weekend

But I am sticking with my 1 nil Leeds win IF we crucially start well and keep to that level.

{Ed025's Note - i hope your right Baz, all the top teams will drop points before the end of the season mate and i think you have a great chance of an automatic place..

Gutted for DJ, hopefully he’s not inundated with keyboard cowards, trolling him for missing the pen, clearly a proud Welshman and takes a lot of courage to step up and take a penalty at such a crucial time.

Hoping our promotion charge will give him both the focus and achievement, his displays have warranted this season.

I think you’re right Woody as I think Piroe’s stronger (physically) than putting Summerville in at 10, although Jimmy would create more, scare them more.
And we have plenty on the wings with Gnonto and DJ but I think Piroe will get the nod.

Most importantly hope we don’t risk Gio unless we are absolutely certain he’s fit to play, better to miss the one game than the rest of the season.

I agree with you Ben, but again if it is “nationalism” those people should not be derided, criticised for having their own beliefs.

We have seen on this site time and time again, if one opinion is purported to be the only valid voice, it gets boring and monotonous very quickly.

It was only last year that our local Remembrance Day memorial had all the veterans poppy crosses and flags (Union Jack and St George) destroyed.

The colour change genuinely doesn’t bother me, but if I had served in the armed forces I might feel very differently cancel culture and devisive politics is a very slippery slope, and I do not understand why nationalists are all generally stereotyped as bigots as opposed to individuals who are extremely proud and protective of their country.

I believe that’s why it resonates so strongly for others?

And we are so fortunate to live where we live, but true freedom means I can still respect another persons right to fervently disagree with my own views, Mrs Class is the perfect example.

Agee Ben, that certain sectors will always monopolise any story to champion their own cause. It doesn’t affect me as I’m more upset with our own FA championing that well worn chestnut that pay £125.00! For a shirt you’ll be helping grass roots football…. really….

I do believe in the obvious irony that the most upset sector of supporters will normally be the biggest purchasers of these kits aside from hard pressed parents, so it may back fire on the FA, Nike in poor sales.

However, my brother lives in Ireland and on one of their biggest radio phone-in shows >90% thought it was wrong to change the colour on the cross of St George and said there would be uproar if Ireland kit was changed in any shape or form.

Like on here, I respect people’s rights to having different opinions and whilst I genuinely do not understand the level of upset, I think it’s more important that we remain a country that has free speech a myriad of different views or opinions, so yes I don’t understand it, but I respect their right to be offended if they are.
