What do you think?

[Dyvel]

I voted no, but then again, i'm an optimist.

[CrewDust]

No, Leeds will make it.

I'm moving into a house next month that will have digital cable (thus Fox Sports World).
It will be the first time ever that I'd be able to watch the Premiership live (or relatively so). No more shipping and handling on grainy tapes of the matches that I get in the mail 1 week later.

...so it's obvious that Leeds United are going to get relegated. There's just too much irony at stake here. I wonder how much it would cost to get grainy tapes of first division matches from England?...


Seriously, we're in trouble. We only need a few wins, but look at some of the clubs we're up against before May! Westham seems to be finding their feet, and Bolton beating Tottenham doesn't help either. I think it's going to be a close shave.

If you're getting Comcast Digital Cable I don't think you get it. One of my friends has Comcast Digital Cable and he doesn't get it so you might have to pay extra or something.

Relagation is not an option.

no way they get relegated

I'd rather not see Leeds get relegated. But Peter Reid isn't exactly the guy to bring in if you're going for results. Seriously, what was Risdale thinking? Worry about changing managers when you know you're safe, not when both West Ham and Bolton have been showing good form and you're only a few points above the drop zone.

And if they do drop, say hello to division two in 2 seasons. With their current debt load they'll be lucky to stay in business with trying to pay that off given the transfer market and the big drop in revenue from the drop to div 1.

Then again, they have few points over West Ham. They're likely to squak through.

How ironic would it be if Peter Reid coached two teams to the drop in the same season? Has that ever happened before? Not that it will be Reid's fault if Leeds do go down, but it's definitely his fault that the Mackems are gone.

I don't think it's set in stone that Leeds will keep Reid... It's quite possible they have their eye on someone currently contracted and employed, and are waiting for the season to end to approach....
