Maybe they like fcum..Quote from youtube. haddocklufc1992 (2 days ago) marked as spam From a Leeds fan who obviously depsises everything that comes out of Manchester, i have to say thats top class. Makes me want to get a FC United Of Leeds going becuase we have lost a good 10,000 - £15,000 because of bates pricing us out!! £36 for League 1 next year!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05fno4frbF8
To all the Leeds United fans who are feeling an indescribable pain right now....hang in there. All S.S.C. Napoli fans feel your pain as the same thing happened to us at the end of the 2003/04 season. We were bankrupt and dropped to Serie C1 (third division). We lost our name and were changed to Napoli Soccer. Today, we are 1 win from Serie A. Its a long, painful road, but never give up hope. No matter how down things seem now, one day, it will be right again. I am the newest Leeds United fan pulling for them to make it back to the Premiership.
i really hope they do get back in to the premiership. they are one of the few 'great' teams of england, a genuine big club.
Yes but Captain Birdseye, Mr Ridsdale et al have totally utterly completely, royally f*cked our club up. It will be some time yet.
Bit harsh on Captain Birdseye that - I mean, the content of his fishfingers are nowhere near as dubious as Bates' dealings £36 in league one, surely even an idiot like Bates can see thats going to have an impact on the numbers? That's absurd!
When he put prices up he explained in his program notes that we may lose 4or5,000, but our average attendance dropped from 38,000 down to 26,000, then last season it was 19,000, but as prices have been lowered for next season we have sold 10,000 season tickets and hopefully a couple of the non-loyal fans come back. Should level out now, as much as we hate Bates and Wise, we still support the team, despite having wankbubbles like Kandol and Constantine in it. "Tresor Kandol doesn't score goals. But if he did, they'd probably be the best goals in the world"
ummm its hard to say but... Leeds have only 12 players at the moment and well... they havent even been payed this month. If the players try there hardest fot the sake of the club, than I think it will be possible. And as for Nottingham Forrest, no its not possible.
Err ... so a team with 12 unpaid players (two of whom are, apparently, 'wankbubbles') may make it to the Premiership if they try hard, but Nottingham Forest won't? I'm intrigued to learn more of this radical theory.
Well Leeds do still have a strong squad and are allowed to buy up to a squad of 20, besides offering contracts to free agents, so the squad will probably be: Casper Ankergren - signing from Brondby- Jonny Lund- been touted as a future England keeper though is only 17. D's Frazer Richardson Rui Marques - out of contract but turned down two Bundesliga clubs to stay Matt Heath - out of contract Rob Bayly Ben Parker Eddie Lewis M Jonathan Douglas Alan Thompson David Prutton - free agent Seb Carole Jonny Howson Curtis Weston Fabian Delph Gylfi Einarsson Shaun Derry S Jermaine Beckford Richard Cresswell Tresor Kandol Tom Elliott Leon Constantine - trialist We just need permission from the league to sign three more players, but only Ankergren will need a fee, so we can offer as many contracts as we like. I don't know about promotion, but its a strong squad in League One, so Id expect at least mid-table.
*Leedsunited* have you decided if you will read Ridsdale's book or will it be better burned?? It does look interesting though.
Read it, full of crap. There are so many inconsistencies, and although he mentions the word sorry, it isn't sorry for running the club in the style of a Fooball Manager novice, its sorry I trusted O'Leary/Martin O'Neill (apparently signed a pre-contract conditional upon Liesdale remaining chairman, the latter part of that is total rubbish)/Verry Teribles and the rest of the board. Its a joke. He just can't admit that he can't run a business. Almost everything he says there is a 'what actually happened' explanation needed. He doesn't explain the 'Seth Johnson' episode, recounted by his agent, that he and Seth went to meet Peter Ridsdale in his office at Elland Road, Peter Ridsdale said "I'll have to make this quick as I have another meeting, we can offer you £30,000 a week plus bonuses" The agent, shocked at the massive offer, blew air between his teeth, which Ridsdale took to mean that the offer wasn't good enough. "Alright £40,000 a week" He's an habitual liar, who can't admit he was drastically wrong, and I can't stand him. Mind you, look at him now, signing ageing, slow strikers on enormous contracts, new stadium announcements, threatening the existence of the club if creditors expect to be paid etc. How history repeats itself.
Martin Samuel has a relatively straightforward take on the matter in today's Times. Ridsdale can't make anything square up, it's apparently just a total load of cobblers.
Sorry to "steal" the thread for a second, but I have a question which I cant get any answer to: Where/how do I buy shares in Leeds Utd? TY
& what do you base your information on. ??????? Our crowds are slighly less than Leeds (but always have been) we get more than many in the championship. Our backer is one of the richest in the country. Not a bad combination for a start.
