See Man ? has put in an offer for ex Leeds player Raph hope he says NO and stays where he is until we can buy him?still not likely.
1.) 18 Mar 2025 11:58:02
His dream was to emulate his hero Ronaldinho at Barca, so there’s no way he’s leaving there, unless they decide to get rid, and even then, I really can’t see him going “there”.
2.) 21 Mar 2025 00:18:41
Diddly squat chance of signing raphs. Why would he leave champions league certainties for a relegation battle.
3.) 25 Mar 2025 23:28:03
Rapha leaving his beloved Barcelona for any other club ain't happening.
20 Feb 2025 22:41:13
Can we see a new ground any time soon or are we just looking at a touch up, have we got the money to do it, think we should hold on and wait till we can build 100000 seat stadium to hold all the fan that can't get in now,
28 Jan 2025 06:53:49
DF look at AC I very much hope not a has been who is unfit is that the best 49 can ?we are in trouble.
20 May 2024 19:10:24
BA and JH talks in place show them the door as soon as possible.
1.) 21 May 2024 08:38:34
Let’s hope we get rid of them all. Don’t think Farke will want players with no passion for Leeds anyway.
2.) 22 May 2024 11:32:13
We need the money much more than we need them. Hopefully we get a decent price for them.

I wish it really was just a rumour or Clickbait Whitey ?.

5 mil to pay him off, that should only apply if you're in the top half not the bottom half, Football has no money ??♂️.
1.) 27 Nov 2025 12:34:50
Looks like he has lost the dressing room too. Both gabby and grue slagging him. Only amps spouting rubbish about sticking together.
2.) 27 Nov 2025 13:06:57
depends on the terms of the contract doesn't it? One of the reasons the 9ers didn't give an extension. He was only ever caretaker after promotion.
3.) 27 Nov 2025 13:42:52
Where are they slagging him off Aus? I want to read/ hear it ?.
4.) 27 Nov 2025 13:50:18
Is that right Alf? Are you saying Farke is now only caretaker?
5.) 27 Nov 2025 15:40:37
he was only ever a caretaker after promotion Aus. Unless he did something to convince the board he was the right man but it has gone pretty much as expected so far.
6.) 27 Nov 2025 16:40:03
If they expected it why are they dragging heels on replacing him?
7.) 27 Nov 2025 23:20:23
How long left on his contract? Would it be 5mill to pay out? What’s he earn?
8.) 27 Nov 2025 23:38:16
Because they want to get a manager that they want.
28 Mar 2025 20:42:50
Well no help from fat frank team and they don't look fatigue in fact they look fit. puts that to bed what Malarkey.
1.) 28 Mar 2025 21:52:00
Quite!
Thanks Frank you w£! k3r!
2.) 28 Mar 2025 21:59:41
That's the gauntlet thrown down. Over to us tomorrow.
3.) 28 Mar 2025 22:08:33
Matters not what others do bro, we just need to perform ourselves, it's in our hands, the only team that can beat Leeds is Leeds, expect nothing from anyone else and quite rightly too, we have to earn it not be given it.
4.) 28 Mar 2025 22:39:44
So much for that then
Leeds gonner have to do it themselves.
Six wins and one draw in their 8 matches by Leeds
means Burnley will have to win all 8.
5.) 29 Mar 2025 08:34:39
Totally correct Vid. Yes, it’s nice if other results go our way, and yeah, it’s fine to hope for it too, but it’s pointless counting on it. Wilders team, and maybe Burnley, are certainly going to keep the pressure up by bagging the results. We just need to keep on doing the same as we have done all season, and collect enough points to maintain that top slot. Blunts were very solid last night, and that’s huge credit to that grumpy, tho somewhat mellowed, sod!
6.) 29 Mar 2025 09:49:35
The Blunts have burgled a fair few wins when they have been outplayed, but worryingly last night they played really well.
7.) 29 Mar 2025 11:13:33
Thought exactly the same Brighty, points deduction fair few injuries and yet, I grudgingly must acknowledge, he’s a top coach., especially in this division.
8.) 29 Mar 2025 12:32:53
Baz Burnley could still draw one game and go up with your scenario.
9.) 29 Mar 2025 13:30:32
Yep indeed Corky .
23 Mar 2025 08:58:59
Can anyone tell me what we get for our loan players like
Harrison
Kristen seen.
Do we receive money from
Do we pay there wages any part
End of there contact do we receive anything.
Like Harrison he's pick up a wage we paid millions for him and getting nothing.
1.) 23 Mar 2025 12:00:36
It’s very different times now Whitey, there’s very little if any loyalty from modern professional players, conversely clubs view their players as little more than commodities, to be bought and traded, more akin to a race horse trainer really.
Harrison, irrespective if people like him or not, has probably been a net positive for the club given his contributions to our promotion and retaining epl status.
Not sure anyone knows the actual loan details although as a minimum, I would believe Everton as an epl side would be paying all of his salary, money which we are then able to reinvest in the likes of Joe Rothwell, Kristensen, Wober, Mackennie etc are probably firmly in the deficit column but it’s all horse trading and about balancing net profits with success.
Players like Archie Gray and Cree gave us huge profits in which to avert any potential PSR issues where as Rutter was probably nearer break even, after transfer, add ons and high salary.
This is why AO is thought to be a potential flight risk, he’s a fantastic footballer but conversely the club would be very tempted to sell given sizeable profits to be made on him whatever PR guff they would feed us for selling if it happened.
When you think Cree and more lately Archie cannot get regular first team football it demonstrates the stratospheric gap between Championship and EPL.
It used to wind me up, now I support the side (Side before self) as a whole, as it’s all very transient from both players and the clubs.
2.) 23 Mar 2025 13:46:49
Had there ever been loyalty from players? Or clubs for that matter?
Yes money has gone mad and transfers are more frequent but was loyalty ever there?
Allan Clarke had four clubs when leeds come calling he didn’t show loyalty to lecister. Mick jones played 150 odd games when he dropped sheff utd for there Yorkshire rivals. Goes other way as well the don was quick to drop Albert johanssen when he no longer served a propose and Eddie grey took his place as did sergeant Wilko when batty and Mcallister meant vinnie Jones had no place at leeds. Then batty and speed moved on when time was right, with speed saying his best times as a footballer was at Newcastle and not leeds!
End of the day we the fans are the only ones loyal to our club through thick and thin
To everyone else it’s just a job/ business and rightly so
One club players or players picking clubs over trophy’s (like shearer are very very rare) and even the one club players are often because it’s a good fit like giggs being the best player but also playing for the best team or le tis not wanting to push himself in case it didn’t work out
If things went bad at your job and someone offered you a better deal wouldn’t you jump ship? It is understandable in my opinion.
3.) 23 Mar 2025 16:14:25
Class thank you for the information, I understand about loyalty or if other offers come in, but we paid millions for Harrison he them jump ship because he didn’t want to play in the championship, it’s ok for Everton to pay his wages in full but what do we get in terms of the financial lay out in buying him, if as he is doing will be free agent 3 years time and we get nothing can’t be right there should be some money coming back to us not just the benefit of not paying him any wages. One way ticket by the sounds of it.
4.) 23 Mar 2025 16:42:43
Leicester offered £20 million for JH in Jan 2023
instead Uncle Vic and others within Leeds offered him a 5 year 90 K a week deal with R clauses to a heavily R threatened LUFC
Its not nearly as bad as the JKA red flag fiasco deal though.
5.) 23 Mar 2025 17:29:20
Not many at that time thought it was good business to get rid of him at that price tho did they Baz? Pretty sure we were both among them, so the uncle Vic rhetoric doesn’t really fit here.
6.) 23 Mar 2025 17:31:03
So Baz we get nothing for the fee we paid, nothing for him when the contract ends no sell on fee mad no wonder footballs in a mess??♂️.
7.) 23 Mar 2025 17:44:09
Very true Baz, but JKA aside (unforgivable) I recall it was our current owners who stopped the sale of JH at eleventh hour, and there have been some very astute signings along the way for very little money, Cree, Struick, Gray (s) Gelhardt, Greenwood…you can get away with it more outside the EPL, but very different financial strategy required to stay up in the EPL.
8.) 23 Mar 2025 17:50:44
Thank you to all Class, Baz, Bright, Brem. For you input on the about.
9.) 23 Mar 2025 18:02:38
I rated JH for Leeds Brighty in the EPL but even I would have baulked at the exorbitant risky conditions it took to get JH to sign a new contract
. so I would have taken the £20 million.
10.) 23 Mar 2025 19:08:37
Gary Kelly and Radebe two players who stayed loyal to Leeds United. Bermo correct though in what he says.
Players have too much power these days but they’d probably disagree?
11.) 24 Mar 2025 20:33:16
Great call cork on radebe and Kelly were both loyal and great servants to the club but they are execptions to the rule sadly in my time as a leeds fan I can not think of ten players loyal to the badge sadly. I know a lot of professional footballers and it is a job not a loyal passion. Like most jobs I guess we fans are loyal but can expect the same elsewhere.
12.) 26 Mar 2025 06:31:39
And yet Baz, this season you defend him so energetically and supported his return, but would’ve flogged him him for less than we invested in him? Which at the time you didn’t agree with? Thanks again Felipe Felope.
13.) 26 Mar 2025 11:46:44
Bright
During posts this season I primarily defended his very good Leeds Utd record 2018 to 2023.certain peeps on here dismissive of it
JH would still do a job for Leeds in Champo or EPL. but I don't agree that Orta should have given him a whopping OTT 90K a week 5 year contract . and he has regressed and lost confidence at Everton in 1.5 seasons of Dycheball.
The £20 million offer from Leicster looks even fairer/ better now.
22 Mar 2025 08:58:53
Phillips tipped to return to Leeds whilst I don't have any issues with it can see how he will improve the team believe that if we have 29 million we should look elsewhere.
1.) 22 Mar 2025 13:07:06
Whitey pal all clickbait imo
1) KP has 2 years left of his contract at ( awhopping OTT for his limited contribution) £150 K a week
2) Since his deblitatinh injuries in 2022 and 23 and major drop in form he isn't anywhere near the same player. He is also approaching 30.
KP to Leeds Utd never happening imo under this Leeds Utd hierarchy and rightly so.
2.) 22 Mar 2025 13:15:35
Bottom line thanks to the uber woeful Signor Orta JH is under contract to Leeds Utd till 2028 another 3 years on a ridiculous £90K a wèek.
JH seems to have unsurprisingly regressed under mostly 2 seasons of utterly woeful very depressing negative Dycheball at Everton.
So therefore not sure which club if any will want him in his current form and wages.
So don't be surprised if he goes nowhere Whitey and is in Leeds set up next season.
3.) 22 Mar 2025 14:05:10
We all know my faults but in all seriousness he ain’t doing well at ispwich and is he better than ao and amps?
150k lot to put on the bench.
4.) 22 Mar 2025 16:01:57
He's useless in a double pivot now. Might make it as a CD but only at Championship level. ? avoid. Better value abroad.
22 Mar 2025 08:20:35
Jack Harrison he keeps popping up let's make it clear as he has we don't want you back as much as you don't want to come back your bags are packed get lost.
1.) 22 Mar 2025 12:03:47
Hear hear.
15 Feb 2025 21:36:27
1970 we need to get through promotion which has just got harder we could be two pints behind come Monday night.
26 Dec 2024 09:25:42
Baz stick with Mess, new keeper now will not be any batter.
26 Dec 2024 09:22:54
Oh Koch you gone and done it now Aus will be on his war path with that post.
26 Dec 2024 09:19:23
Aus, money will make his mind up.
26 Dec 2024 09:18:14
I agree with MO that would be a very good idea something new for the new season, however then the referee would say nothing .
26 Nov 2025 22:33:48
Black smoke see at Elland Road top meeting to look a new manger.
24 Nov 2025 18:51:05
I believe they are holding on to see who is around then when the January window opens the new manager can bring in who he wants. They will be working on who that will be now.
20 Nov 2025 15:39:48
Lot of stick from Leeds fans about Sunderland’s recruitment in the summer would seam to be a great job done in the end what we would give to have that lot now.
20 Nov 2025 15:32:58
Ausman it’s very much a case of dammed if you do or dammed if you don’t wouldn’t want there job would you?♂️?♂️.
11 Nov 2025 21:01:06
Your all for getting Farke is the best in championship management just look at Norwich for me it’s two late to change now.
