Sorry if I have missed comment on the site, but has Milner gone to Brighton on a one year contract? If he has shouldn't we have been expressing an interest for some time, if we did, isn't it a bit of a kick in the teeth? Would have thought he would be a great asset on and off the pitch, particularly with some many players potentially leaving?

Milner still wants to play premiership football and Brighton can also offer Europe cup football. Milners so called love for Leeds United appears to not be a big enough draw.


2.) 15 Jun 2023 09:02:40
We in champ they in Europe. Big difference.


3.) 15 Jun 2023 09:45:43
Agree, but sad though that he doesn’t see galvanising Leeds with a quick return to the Prem would not be a bigger achievement at the end of an illustrious/ lucrative career then playing in the lesser European comp with a team like Brighton?

7 He's trying to beat Barry's appearance record. He isn't going to do that at Hillsborough and Home Park.


5.) 15 Jun 2023 12:49:59
Aye George, 34 more needed (according to the Premier Leagues own website (some other stats sites suggest 35, having credit Barry with an additional appearance) - which would take Milly to 653 (or 654) .

It would be quite some feat, and take quite a lot of beating - the next highest player currently active is Jordan Henderson, on 431.

Love Milner. Go for it lad.


7.) 15 Jun 2023 18:01:56
Good luck to Milner, it’s a story of "if only"
Milner owes nothing to Leeds, we had to sell him due to Ridsdales absurd and reckless ownership of the club.
All history now but what a fantastic player and career.

Eddie a class above everyone else on the pitch, fantastic commitment and skill.

Agree the lad is a class above when you have a player if that class you find a way and get best from him he should be in double figures by now

He could play for England.


2.) 26 Oct 2019 14:55:23
Spot on he answered a lot of questions today, saying he couldn't hold the line or help out as much as others, Eddie all day long.


3.) 26 Oct 2019 15:00:02
Showed bielsa he can also run about. The lad deserves his chance to start now, especially is Bamford is injured.


4.) 26 Oct 2019 15:22:28
Held the line with his elbow.


5.) 26 Oct 2019 15:29:44
Bielsa will play Dallas up front :)


6.) 26 Oct 2019 16:15:13
Well Eddie's holding the line with his elbow, is it worse than Paddy throwing himself onto the floor playing Villa last season when El-gazhi never touched him?

Morning all, went on as a gold member on the dot of 10.30 yesterday to by tickets for the Erb County game (last time I went the D and Y had fallen off) , waited for 10 minutes kept saying could only purchase with Gold Membership, which I have, logged back in then said sold out. Does anyone know if they will release more tickets to Leeds as there are lots of tickets for sale on Derby website? I know Leeds have improved, but not enough to want to sit with the home fans!

there is a spare seat on the derby bench at the moment.

Thank God for MK Dons. I think the players have done their best (albeit bar Wood they didn't look that upset to have thrown the game away yesterday) , but with the collective ability of the squad, we are very lucky not to have gone down.

I think Evans also has done well and is passionate (Bridcutt loan was a big factor in Championship safety) , but what is it about Leeds, Colin's achievements at Rotherham look better than Revie and Shankly put together, but was awful at Leeds?

I can't imagine Cellino has any emotional attachment to our beloved institution, but was clever enough to spot the best opportunity in any British club to massively increase income. Unfortunately he didn't acquire 100%, so can imagine why there may be reasons making it difficult to invest proper money. Having said that, whilst any investment on his part will benefit other shareholders, it will also increase the value of his majority stake and afford the opportunity of a quicker exit.

I just just hope MC realises how lucky he has been this season with little investment in manager or squad. His not inconsiderable cash injection would have been worth very little had we gone down. I can't see the players being worth much, as the youth hasn't really shone or progressed in a very average Championship.

Strictly from a business perspective, I think a real opportunity has been missed this year, where return on player investment would have been maximised. Burnley looked very average yesterday (and should have lost had we had a half decent striker and an ability to pass through midfield) , with countless empty seats and they are top of the league. In terms of player talent Brighton look a shadow of the team under Poyet and even we managed to beat Hull! To my untrained eye the only side that looks capable of staying in the Prem is Middlesborough.

In all likelihood next year there will be 3 bigger teams (now) than Leeds in the Champ, so little chance to go up and will have to wait until the following year when Burnley, Hull, Brighton or whoever, come back down, but then they will have the benefit of the completely unfair TV money Sky give to teams no one supports in the Prem and a parachute payment.

Surely Cellino wants to protect his investment, does he really think he'll get crowds greater than 17000 at home next year, when significant investment will be required just to stay in the Championship?

Sadly we have lost one if not 2 generations of young fans in Leeds (despite now being down south, I come from Leeds as did my father and grandfather) to higher profile Prem clubs, its only people of the 40 plus age group who have seen better times, who are forcing their children to follow the garbage (compared to our illustrious past and the Prem) seen on the pitch. Time is fast running out for the sleeping giant to wake up.

Rant over, but I just can't understanding MC's thinking not as a supporter but from cold hard business perspective, he's well and truly in now and investment is his only way out. What's the Tom Hank's film about baseball, with the line, "if you build it they will come"?

I have been to 4 away games this year, Fulham, QPR (Wood looked a world beater yesterday compared to that performance) , Charlton and Brighton and have seen one goal, a penalty.

We met a charming family from Preston on holiday in Lanzarote, so will be going to the last game of the season. I have declined the offer (my wife thinks somewhat rudely) to sit with our friends and will force one daughter to sit with me and the massive away support (5,600) . I was offered from my old job seats for the Brighton game, but thank God was right on that occasion to seek solidarity in numbers. We are still the best fans in the world and it is that and only that, that makes me want to pay to endure a further 90 minutes, if only MC or an investor could see this!

Excellent post, Sevenoaks. As George says this is last chance saloon. Failure for Cellino to properly invest in the summer will see the tide go against him. We cannot go on having season's with no ambition.


2.) 10 Apr 2016 16:15:31
My worry is that even if MC was prepared to splash the cash (which I seriously doubt) , who have we got to source any quality players for the sort of fees and wages he will pay? Don't think we've signed anyone special since he arrived, and can't see that changing.
We don't have a single player who worries the opposition, and we don't have a player who excites me to watch them .


3.) 10 Apr 2016 16:34:53
Very good, well thought out post sevenoaks.
I've always been a Cellino supporter however if he doesn't spend decent money next season then I don't see the point in him being our owner (from his point of view) .
I mean what does HE get out of finishing in the bottom half of the championship or worse every season with dwindling crowds.
All I can see he gets from owning us at the moment is the ego boost from owning a club that was once (a long time ago) one of the top clubs in Europe!

Quality post. Let's think ahead to next season. I see the championship improving even more next season. Wigan and Burton are two good sides who should hold their own in this league. The playoff winning team will likely struggle but what if it's Bradford. Been a bogey team for us over the last decade. What with parachute money teams Villa Newcastle and probably Sunderland coming down without serious investment I honestly see us going down into League One. We will certainly be involved in the relegation battle. We badly need 3 goalscorers and 3 central defensive reinforcements and cover for Charlie.


5.) 10 Apr 2016 21:26:33
Speedy, I agree I can't see Cellino splashing the cash on transfer fees, but there are cheap buys out there, Byram being a great example. What is unacceptable though given our support and merchandising sales is I read our wage bill is something like 7th lowest in the Championship. There was a time when players aspired to play for a high profile/ big club like Leeds because big clubs could afford bigger wages, sadly TV revenue in the Prem has ruined this.

SevenoaksWhites

2.) 28 Feb 2016 12:10:57

3.) 28 Feb 2016 16:06:06

4.) 28 Feb 2016 19:31:40

Totally agree and best badge IMO. Admiral and Leeds were the trailblazers which everyone has now followed in football shirts, very interesting story!

I haven’t been able to get tickets for some time, given our fantastic support so was happy to pay the £330 for the Norman Hunter suite against Palace, particularly following the great Forest result. The Lamborghini in the car park on French number plates really sums up the attitude of this current crop of players who just don’t get or aren’t interested in our great club. Had we gone 3-0 up as we should they would look fine, but have no fight and certainly aren’t a team. Absolutely shocking recruitment from the manager down.

We’ve just lost 5-2 to Brentford, am I missing something on the neg front following a shambolic transfer window?

I was prepared to accept Bamford if he was committed and giving it 100% but he’s always on his mobile phone whether subbed (As Sky commentary referred to) or coming into the ground on Sunday. A bit like the Player on Mike Bassett England Manager.
