Yes, yes I do.Originally Posted by Denis The Red
Amongst Leeds supporters I'm in a small minority who think Blackwells achievements at Leeds were remarkable and that he was done some disservice by LUFC.
Not to take from Wise entirely but Leeds form dipped and stayed down practically from the day Gus Poyet left to join Ramos at Spurs so you may be onto something. I know no Leeds supporter who wasn't glad to see the back of him ...myself included.
As far as I know the debts are gone. An operating profit of £4.5M was announced late last year. If I was one of the misfortunate "non football creditors" who got payed 11p in the pound I'd be pretty peeved and heading back to court to see if I could petition the judge with an AFFL plea ("Ah for f***sake like!") but Leeds apparently plan on buying back Thorp Arch with the proceeds.

TBH I think Blackwell failed big time and folded under the pressure the year we lost the PO final to Watford. We should have caught Sheffield United that year.
And I think in fairness to Bates, he's proved he's not in it for a quick buck as we're profitable now and he's not f*cked off. He's generally been ok with managers and is giving them resources to build with, without interfering.
I think he's done ok, no matter how much Leeds fans resent him...
Beckford rejected his new contract today, and is now on the transfer list...Not realy that bothered to be honest...
Silly move by Leeds. What'll we get for him realistically? Probably a fairly small transfer with appearance bonuses to follow. We know he can score 30+ goals a season so why not use him to try and get out of the division and let him walk next summer? Money better spent imo.

Beckford will probably end up in the championship.
Be a good buy for Burnley.
My point exactly. 1.3 million is the most Burnley have ever paid for a player -and that was last summer. Even at twice that kind of money I think Leeds would be better off foregoing the fee and letting/making him see out his contract and walk away, hopefully from a newly promoted championship club, next summer.

He won't get as many chances in the Championship and he'll be a flop IMO.
And if he's moving anywhere it'll be down south.
i hope so because i'm sick to death of my mates taking the p1ss out of me
All in all they have a huge scum element
Anyway, glad to at least see this statement from Shaun Harvey -if he'll stick to his guns on it....
"In the event that no offers are forthcoming or the offers received are unacceptable to us, then he will remain part of Simon Grayson's squad next season."
Newcastle and Coventry are among the first names linked.

Close the thread. We've been found out.
Great to see the 70's smiley logo on a tricolour at Craven Cottage last night.

Thought Leeds gave a very fine account of themselves against Liverpool last night. Great to see Elland Road stuffed full as well.
Bring on the mock Dons at the weekend.

Snotty boy on fire!

I think we look superb this season. Really impressed with how calm and assured Grayson comes across. Really is a talented manager IMO. Id like to see another striker come in as Showunmi and Grella arent able to pressure Becks or Becchio. Also a bit unsure of Crowe at right full. Very impressed with Higgs in goal and Bradley Johnson has had a teriffic start. Snods is a capable of a higher level and hopefully the goal yesterday kick starts his season. All in all, I think it we look very good!! MOT

Both those lads are very doubtful for the Carlisle match at ER tomorrow night.

Yea what happened to Higgs? Had no mention of it in the match report. I know Crowe pulled his hamstring. Another huge one for us!

Thigh strain according to the site. Not expected to make it. Able replacement there in Casper though -he played the last half hour on saturday. I know an amount of people reckon he's at his level but I rate Casper and reckon he could be a good championship keeper.

Looks like we're trying to bring an emergency loan keeper in as Alan Martin is at Accrington Stanley. I think Casper is still capable of doing a job and has been great for us, but I dont know how much he has left in the tank

Great win last night after a mixed performance. Norwich were pretty good and Lambert was sickened they lost.
Downside was early injury to Higgs. Casper came on and did a bit of flapping but made a couple of great instinctive saves as well.
Back on top.
