I hope were signing Varney as a bench warmer, why are we not getting Norris instead of him? Other than Pearce, these signings are Just Grayson signings, Kenny, drury, green and looking like varney, cmon these aren't going to get us promoted and couldn't handle it as a TEAM if we went to the premiership, ageing freebies and losing or selling our top youth, but just because it's under warnock were just agreeing, he could sell sand to a Arab, hudderfield are making better signings than us, it's embarrassing because we all know Simon will get them playing well, gutted, I you I'm going to get told not to worry and have faith, but seriously guys I'm worried, the squad isn't moving forward whatsoever, forget about the takeover what if it doesn't happen it's not guaranteed, just totally not impressed at all so far

Believable6 Unbelievable5

Lets be honest the real person who did the job for them was not grayson. Did a good job for us but the credit goes to clarke.
mot4life

Agree3 Disagree2

We are NOT losing or selling our 'top youth' the only player who has gone is Clayton and he came from Man City?

Agree2 Disagree0

Drury and Green i can agree with you about; but Kenny is still a good keeper and alot of saves he made last season were crucial to QPR staying up. He can hack it in the prem, so he can surely hack it with us.

Agree2 Disagree2

Warnock is looking for a solid team to get promoted . these players that are been brought in on frees are probably going to be bench warmers if we get taken over soon. hes probably doing the best he can with the money we have to spend at the minute. im really hoping we are getting a takeover but the more we wait the less i believe its gonna happen.

right, mccormack looks like he's going, so be it, for me he hasn't done enough to earn himself a higher salary. But the thing is, we need to think about replacements for him + i would love to see beckford back where he belongs but its just not gonna happen, i would also love to get rhodes and see how he can perform in the championship, but again thats not going to happen so, who would you guys like to see? REALISTICALLY?

Send Billy paynter through the academy school and go from there

Don't want beckford back . why would you want beckford no work for mccormack who runs himself ragged all game

It may have escaped your notice but we'll be seeing Rhodes in this division. Let's just hope he has bad day when he comes to ER. Even if he were for sale he's not a Warnock type player I reckon.

Cause they will buy all our targets first!

And they know who our targets are then?? And people are clamouring to join their manager who is?? Oh, even Forest don't know who there manager is/will be....

Agree1 Disagree0

I reckon the new owners might try get Davies back. He's a gobby tw@t but a very good manager - he'll do well with a pile of cash I suspect. In any case, the original poster might have point, any team in our division with an influx cash is not good news - it means there's another team with the potential to build a good team/squad.

Clay got thrown in at the deep end did well but thenfell off towards the end, under warnock he would have become a better player being bled more over the last two seasons, rather than playing 3 good pre season games and becoming our main midfielder. We all knew NW's way is to make the team hard to beat first, we all wanted our defensive problems sorting out, now you are slating a man for doing that. Sit down relax, and lets see what happens, SG had a great attacking team, NW makes a brick wall of a defence, then puts 1 or two flair players in. just wait!

People have short term memories, the guy was a stand out player for Blackpool when they were in the prem. also he started quality for Portsmouth at the first half of last season, alright he died off towards the latter end, but under the circumstances can you blame him?

Not a chance in hell. Bolton, Blackburn, Birmingham, Cardiff and Leicester heavy favourites. we're going to have to settle for playoff dark horses.

Agree3 Disagree6

Leicester haha every1 thought tht last year

Agree5 Disagree2

To 1st reply, we are joint 2nd favourite. we have warnock and a new spirit, you should have more faith

Agree4 Disagree2

They've had a year to settle, can see them doing some real damage this season.

Agree4 Disagree3

Look at the stats. After sacking Sven in November Leicester climbed very quickly under Pearson - they'd have ended much higher with his results over the whole season.

By contrast, with Warnock's results over the whole season we'd have finished bottom by a distance.

No doubt the mindlessly loyal will be clicking 'disagree' by the million and trying to blame 'Grayson's players' but if you go away and do the sums you'll see I'm right on both counts.

Agree3 Disagree5

Who gives a stuff about stats , if you dont think we're good enough go support leicester,leave the real fans to give positive support

Agree3 Disagree2

42 years going to ER with a season ticket mate - I AM A REAL FAN - so don't f*cking patronise or insult me.

ED, Do you think this court case with the police will delay this so called take over even longer ? Gj {Ed045's Note - I'm not sure, as I think the issue is with Bates as a person not as our owner.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

It's the club that's brought the case. Until the outcome is known there is no way of knowing how big the legal bill we be. If we lose we may end up footing the police's costs - adding to the 4m+ Bates has already wasted on lawyers. If I were buying I'd want to know the outcome - losing will devalue the club.

i think its ridiculous everyone debating whether or not beckford would be a good signing or not, at the end of the day i dont see any people sending rumours in working in the scouting industry, beckford isnt warnocks kindof striker, warnock likes the kindof andy carroll/yakubu figure. although i do think a little bit of pace injected into the squad would work wonders, as we seemed to abuse this last season with aiden white, who now seems to be slowing down negotiations until the takeover has been sealed/falls through, expect the worse fellow leeds fans if negotiations with the takeover falls through, as snodgrass, white, mccormack and others could all be leaving. trust in warnock.

OK Whats going on Ed?
Ticket prices fixed for next season,
no increase surprisingly,
so my query is this:

IF we are going through due diligence
IF we are subject to a takeover,
IF we are making decisions regarding new partnerships etc,

Then who is making these decisions, can anyone shed any light {Ed045's Note - It's widely reported over a takeover, I think it's a matter of time and its when not if. The constant 'partnerships' and new pricing paves the way for a new regime. Of course in my opinion.

Hi eds, not really a rumour but more bit of info that cancels out lot of rumours. i was at elland rd yesterday doing a fire service inspection on ground and i can confirm the rumours bates has cleared his office out are false. His office is clearly still there and he definitely still based there as he was in there most the afternoon. im not saying anything that the takeover is not on or anything before anyone jumps on thr bandwagon im just saying he is still working from elland rd. i did ask the stadium manager who was with us if takeover was true and he simply replied he was aware there were talks of a takeover but he said no staff were being given any info and anyone who states to know more is talking crap as nothing has been said to staff. And with him being stadium manager and not knowing im sure all those quoting shop staff, groundsman etc arnt true. Hope sheds bit of light to fans. {Ed013's Note - I have to be patience and listen to all sorts of rumours and theories etc. The longer it goes on the more I think WHY? Leeds is a great club for someone to invest in and take it further, but this is making Leeds fans fall out and create stories etc. I use to have no problem with posting most theories and rumours etc, but now I feel that the legitimate posts that come along and get slated. I hope yours doesn't and if Mr Bates was in his office then lets hope it was to formalise any deals. One way or another, this has to end soon as all Leeds fans will be nervous wrecks!}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Sounds like the most genuine post in the last 4 weeks -- in order for him to comply with his job requirements and the fire regulatory reform act 2005 this guy would have had to gain access into bates office for health and safety reasons --
makes you wonder if all the crap people have posted previously got us all into a frenzy over nothing?

Agree3 Disagree0

Personally I think it is time we gave up on this takeover, even if there is takeover it seriously doesn't look like its going to be before the season starts as nobody on the board seems to be in a rush, another 2 seasons in the championship it seems

Agree2 Disagree1

Better than being in League one though eh?!

10 Jul 2012 08:22:04
Having been on the Leeds website yesterday, I'm thinking Thursday is definitely the day for takeover. Ticket office and online ticket sales unavailable on Friday and not again til Monday due to an "upgrade." That's sounding to me like it gives the opportunity to put everything in place for the new owners. Also, the only tickets for home games available less than 5 weeks before the start of the season are for the Shrewsbury game. Makes sense to me.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Sounds to me your clutching a straws bud, just give it a rest now

Agree2 Disagree0

Really clutching at straws.

Even with new owners, there is no need to take the ticketing systems down, the only reason you would need to do this is as they have stated.... System Upgrade.

Why do LUFC fans always assume 1+ 1 must therefore = 3 approach.

Have they stopped playing football manager/sun fantasy football?or is their wikipedia not working anymore?
Or are we all getting despondant as to whether this takeover/investment is ever going to happen?
I for one, is a glass half full chap and a firm believer in what will be, will be.

My theory on why we could be selling Snodgrass. In a takeover the seller is usually forced to give various representations, indemnities and warranties about the cleanliness of previous transactions. When he does gives those legal assurances, if something untoward comes out afterward, he can be sued. We all know Bates' offshore entities own ER and TA and there's been no buy back yet by LUFC. Presumably the prospective buyer is concerned about how clean those entities and those transactions were (we all know they're a bit funky) so my guess is the delay and the timing of the Snodgrass story is linked into this. Answer for Bates and buyer is easy. Sell Snods. LUFC uses proceeds along with other monies it has (there's probably a significant shortfall without selling Snods) to buy back ground and academy. Then buyer can buy without being over concerned because they only need to be concerned the most with the last transaction which would be the clean buy by LUFC of its ground and Thorpe Arch. The problem is if AVFC suss this out they might lower their fee for our prized asset which if they stumble on this message they probably will. Come on Leeds! {Ed013's Note - Clutching at straws, but you never know}

Really don't know what is going on with the club but wish i did as do we all, are they waiting on this takeover or not? Don't want the made up bull of people say announcement tomorrow and so on, not doing anyone any favours just keep it shut please if don't know the truth, I'm slightly concerned that we only have 3 squad singings so far as Neil want as overhaul of the squad to build a new squad for the promotion push we have been promised this coming season, we need to be making a fair few more signings as Neil is wanting to build a new squad not starting 11, preseason is starting next week and the moment it doesn't look too impressive, are things not going to plan? I'm sure Neil would rather be further ahead than he is at this moment in time, if snoddy leaves the club then people are already trying to justify the sale of him by saying he won't cut it in the premiership which is nonsense, we need to keep hold of our best players and that goes for White and Ross, we need all the help we can to make the push for promotion, I do think these players want to stay with the club but like us all they want the club to some ambition in signings to back up their claims, I hope these coming couple of weeks thing start moving the subjects are put in place, I'm very interested to see to movement of snoddy as I see it as the best indicator as way the club is moving, if he stays then things are changing as there must be a reason for the club to see some form of promise to him but if he goes, even for nonsense of good money then I see that it is the same old story as the money is never put back into the squad

I think that if we get a quality winger like max Gradel (not him tho although I would welcome him back with open arms) then we have a hugely skilled winger and a winger with blistering pace. So defences will find it hard to cope with different kinds of service being provided to our strikers.

The takeovers fell through bates wanted more then the buyers were willing to pay so he's now talking to potential investors instead expect an announcement by the end of the week
