Warnock has said he's stabilised our club in the year he's been here. Please someone tell me what is his evidence for this? What has he done that Grayson hasn't?

I think Neil should retire now. Thank you. I would like Nigel Atkins or gus Poyet as Leeds manager.

Stabilised us as a mid table Championship club. Not what he intended or what we all hoped for. How can he possibly consider that a success as he seems to be saying? He'll finish his contract as the worst performing Leeds manager for50 years. I wanted him as manager 12 months ago, as he says himself 'be careful what you wish for'.

Proud as a Leeds fan to be associated with Robbie Rogers. All the so called 'hard men' and 'macho' footballers we've had at the club over our history and the bravest turns out to be an American who played only a handful of times.

Shame we didn't see the best of his playing ability at LUFC. Good luck Robbie.

Whoever disagreed with this can stop supporting Leeds United right now. We are United and a former player who never got his chamce has been so courageous as to be the first footballer since Vashnu to announce he is gay. I hope he comes out of retirement to come and play for us again if I'm honest.

Gay or not he was too lightweight for british football and injury prone with it, why would you want him back?

Will everyone get of NW's back. It's not his fault we have no money to spend, no ambition, no fans etc. I'm fed up with all this negativity towards him he's a good championship manager like anyone with poor bosses soon saps all your motivation, morale & passion for the job which in turn feeds down to your staff. Leave him alone & direct your anger at the owners whoever they are GFH, Bates, KFC.
Bring on next season and that's when the fun will start. MOT

Neil will you stop posting these messages, no one believes them!

HOW has he done a good job?

He took over a team that finished 7th and were 7th in February last season. He finished mid table and this season he is making us in to a bottom half team - what's he going to do next season if he stays? Relegate us?

He's had tons more backing than Grayson by the board and signed most of the players he wanted, so he's got no excuse - he's just not the right manager for this club

Dear GFH,

I am sorry for David Haigh's family
bereavement I am, but

I don't see why
his being absent prevents Salem Patel and Hisham al Reyes hosting the forum.

Our fans are crying out for information and
you are running the risk of alienating them
if you continue with this wall of silence.

Put another date in the diary quick and get some players in in the emergency loan window.

Something needs to be done sharpish before
this house of cards comes tumbling down. It
is too precious a football club for that to
happen.
happen.

I think you have the wrong address

Quality reply! Haha

Robbie Rogers as announced he is gay and he is retiring from professional football at the age of 25. It's a bit sad if he feels he needs to retire from the game because of this. I thought them dark days where well gone. Keep fighting Robbie lad. Mot

I am surprised he has given up the game as I think he has a lot of talent that we never got to see but I wish him well.

Adam Pearson banned for 16 months for drink driving anybody willing to give him a lift to Elland Road.

C'monnnn the might leeds fans, way to negative all of you, be patient. GFH have seen what bates got, i'm sure they don't want to experience that

Okay we are now sat mid league, could go up, could still go down?

How much are we paying Warnock per week/month?

If we terminate his contract what will it cost bearing in mind it ends in May anyway?

Why can't we get shot, and bring in someone that wants to give our OWN players, a chance?

Why the f**k are we putting Poleon out to Sheff Utd?

Why are we loaning out ANY of our young players, when we are performing so dismally?

We are crying out for players like him, and Tom Lees and Sam Byram have 'stepped up' to the challenge?

Where the f**k does Warnock think the likes or Lennon and Milner came from?

I will not be putting any more of my hard money into travel and ticket money to get to Elland Road until some one realises that we need the4 upcoming talent that WANT to be in the first team?

Pay Warnock off, he should be drawing his pension now, and give the youth a chance!

i fully agree I can not understand why we loan our players who we know have a great future at our great club and take an unknown on board. we need to blood out youngsters ready for next years big promotion push.

this year has been a total mess - take over / no take over funds very little of
now another take over, bates out colin out NOW

i haven't posted in a bit and i'm no manager but it seems to me that we don't have the right manager at the healms was full of faith for NW not anymore!
i pick up from his body language after games and excuses used that we're sick of hearing its so obvious his heart isn't in it anymore but more or less hoping for some kind of fluke promotion he takes the fact that we haven't been at the top league for awhile that were in the same stature of the sheffield clubs or huddersfield he constantly talks of other teams having great squads like cardiff and the like as if that's where we want to be!
i don't wanna be like cardiff I want to be better than cardiff be ambitious for gods sake! seems only like only yesterday we were playing champions league don't care what other clubs and people say we are a massive club not 2nd rate club championship club!
and before any1 says anything that's where we are because that's where our manager thinks we should be every club in the premier league miss
playing us!
GFH whether your selling up now or whatever do one good thing for the club b4 you leave and that's the obvious thing I think most of us true fans want that is tell NW walk and bring in nigel adkins b4 its too late least he might wanna win the league NEXT season! its screaming out at ya come on!
irish leeds fan!

Warnock is in it for the publicity, not for any interest in Leeds, we are just another team to him.

He will take his pension payoff from us and retire, win lose or whatever

There's a lot of fresh rumours on here about a change of ownership etc and this can be very frustrating due to the lack of any challengeable source. However, just trying to look at the logic to these rumours and they could be real. For instance, since the takeover, GFH have been noticeable by their absence, twittering like mad before but silent after. There has been no real investment in the team, strange given their stated intentions. Two transfer windows have passed us by with no activity which would show intent to get promoted. The results on the pitch have been dire, how many managers would still be in charge under new owners if they were committed to the future? They left KB at the helm because they have no knowledge of how to run a football club and have no intention of learning because they don't intend being here long enough to make the effort to learn.
This isn't a rumour, just my attempt to make the facts fit the current re-sale rumours. You never know, sometimes 2+2 does equal 5.
CJS

To be honest there was nobody available that we needed or wanted, anyway.

We need to try and 'steal' players and that isn't going to happen untill we have owners who are prepared to realise what REAL investment can bring.

They want to make a fast buck, rather than realise Leedsin Europe could bring in milloins.

Never going to hjappen while Warnock brings in his players looking for their pension supplements.

2+2 will never equal 5, but sometimes it doesn't equal 4 either.

We have 2 plus 1 new directors, but unfortunatley Bates makes 4.

Living in oz I don't really see many games but I do read peoples opinions and watch a game, when on (including highlights on fo. tube).
I Would just like to get a general opinion on the player of the season so far?
From what I have seen mine would be Diouf (Don't want to give it Byram as the lad might get too ambitious and then definitely leave and the summer).

So do you want our opinion on player of the season. not related to football but related to their what. feelings. ego. or do you want us to leave out the players that will get too big headed (for want of a better word). or leave out those that, if we mention their name they will put up there hand for a transfer or. maybe not suggest anyone in case Delia is reading this post. FFS get a grip and watch the A league.

You are spot on in regards to the player of the season though. I reckon it is Diouf, but very close between him and Byram. Nooooo he's going to ask for a transfer now.

. Jesting. hard work being a Leeds fan in Australia isn't it.

Fredh MOT (Brisbane)

Bloody hell, and I thought it was only southerners with whom you couldn't have banter with. I was asking for a general opinion and trying to get conversation going with the forum. i'm Amazed at the very negative reply which wasn't really called for. Anyway the question is still open. {Ed013's Note - Byram has to be player of the season mate, no other player stands out at being consistent and committed as young Sam}

Not a chance when Brown has been are best player by a country mile. Just ask Warnock he rates him. B+LLSH+T!
BARMY ARMY!!
mot4life

Brown hass been beast! defo my man of the season so far, its close between him and varney
