If Becchio wants to leave I will gladly pay for his train ticket....We need a better striker fast!

Are you serious?
Agree21

This Becchio talk is ridiculous at times. Lets put it into perspective; at the beginning of the season, a couple of months ago even, the majority of posters on Leeds fan sites were saying that he's not good enough, so get rid. After 19 goals, he's seen as a striker who may be worth a punt in the premiership by the likes of Wigan. He's a good player and apart from last season, has delivered for us in his time at ER. At 29, he's bound to think it may be now or never for him with regards to playing at the top level - I wouldn't blame him for going, any more than I blamed Snoddy. It's more about the new owners showing ambition and I think if we're honest none of us really believe we're good enough to get promoted this season - it'd be great if it happens, but it seems unlikely. Ambition means looking to the future and sustained success - if the team that goes up next season includes Byram and Lees but not Lucianno, then that to me is more about ambition. Good luck to the Argentinian whatever he does - overall, he's done us proud.

Couldn't make the game tonight as had to work :/ but there are many positives to tonight win,
We came from behind and showed the spirit and determination to get a win.
We won away from home.
We scored goals that weren't from Luciano Becchio.
We've advanced into the next round of the cup and that will give more motivation.
Keep the faith Leeds fans anything can happen in football!
Bring on Bristol Saturday
Marching on together!

Looking like Becchio will leave, complete joke. Yes we're not the club we once were but still don't get how a massive club like Leeds has turned into a feeder club. As far as a replacement goes, Austin - no chance. Wells I would love but I can't see it happening. Jamie Mackie I would love here, great player and so under ratted. Warnock, make some GOOD signs or walk out of our club please.

I do agree maybe we have been misled but is it not the rumours that have mislead others...?!
I for on do believe that gfh will be much better for the future of Leeds united.... Rome wasn't built in a day......

Its not becchio's fault that NW feels the only way anyone can get the ball to him is by launching it half length of pitch. I would like to see Becchio used as a bit of a 'Heskyesque' target man who in turn would free up space for the likes of rosco or poleon. I fear sadly that NW is a bit of a one trick pony tactically speaking.

Yes a better second half but it still doesn't hide the fact we are almost two weeks in to the transfer market and looking like another poor window.I ask the question do GFH have any money or are they that stupid they think warnock and his long ball tactics might fluke it in the prem and get there big pay day.Looking at some of the teams I have seen this season that won't be the case we need serious investment .Well done to the lads today good win.

If warnock doesn't realise this he has to go

He does realise this, he said after the game we probably passed the ball around more as becchio wasnt playing so they didn't just hoof it up to him. Also sounded very cagey about the sickness he had, was not linked with the squad sickness, was just sick? hhhm?

In relation to the Humble Pie post I would say most Leeds fans would agree that 3 points against Barnsley on Saturday would have been far better than the win tonight. We are not going to win the FA cup and promotion has to be our priority. Promotion is achieved by building a strong squad of players dedicated to our cause. Not by loanees coming in for a few weeks and then heading back to their clubs. This is Leeds United. We deserve better than we are getting and, so far, nothing has changed since Bates sold his shares ( as we are led to believe!)

Has Warnock actually said that he doesn't expect any signings this week (see a few posts back)? In his "great job" interview at the weekend he said he expected to bring a couple in so it makes you wonder if he has had thr Scarborough warning from GFH. If they do get rid of Warnock then they ough to write this season off, give the new man a good chance to look at the squad and spend in the summer, just keep our best palyers for now and don't panic buy. There will be plenty that Warnock's signed that won't feature in the new manager's plans and they'll need to be offloaded before he can seriously rebuild.

15 Jan 2013 13:55:58
Lets face it Warnock is deluded and so egotistical coming out with comments such as "I'm doing a great job" and "I'm not looking over my shoulder in terms of losing my job". WTF, I seem to recall him saying that when he got the sack from QPR he never saw it coming and it was a complete shock. Well Neil, if you don't win the next couple of games and our performances don't improve 100%, then guess what? You may find your p45 on your desk, now there's a shock!!!

Not a rumour...A replacement for Warnock (realistically) should he leave...
Richard Naylor is doing very well with the under 18s, would sort defensive issues out.
Worth a punt for the remainder of the season?

He couldn't sort the defense out when he was part of it, doubt he can do it from the touchline

What are you on? we had the most solid defense in recent years with him and Kisnorbo.

Not Leeds related obviously, but just wanted to see what everyone else thought of John Brooks, the official who told the Man City players to go over and thank their fans on Sunday? To me, he's a top man for making those overpaid prima donnas show some respect to the fans that pay their hard earned money week in week out and I totally admire what he did. To the FA, however, who have stood him down from officiating in tonight's FA cup game between West Brom and QPR, he is being punished!! What a joke the FA are!

All I reading and hearing from Leeds fans are losing faith I gfh cause they haven't splashed the cash... Let's look at it why would we go spend 10 million this window than warnock leaves a new manager comes in and dosent like or rate players we buy in this window that means trying to sell rejects like we are still trying to do now from Grayson time...all I say is spend nothing stay in championship let warnock go and new manager might have 20 million to spend summer this makes sense so all Leeds fans keep the faith an let's see what happens over summer

GFH have conceded that it would probably cost a lot of money to push for promotion/playoffs this year. Winter transfers are usually more expensive and also other teams have spent big already (Leicester, Notts Forest) so they want to consolidate this year and then do the main business in the summer and start the next season with a new manger and team that can push straight on from the off.
Also summer is when most players contracts end so they are looking at bosman signings where they can get a better quality of player for less money than signing someone now who would need a transfer fee as well as there wage packet.
They will however back Warnock to get some loans in as there are areas of weakness in the squad but they don't want to spend stupid money now on transfers

I really think gfh have given him tonight, if performance is as bad as sat he will be gone, its gonna take longer than sat to sort this mess out, its gonna take at least 7 New signings, this is a bigger mess than when Grayson was here, there is at least 8 players on our books that nobody wants.

The team out there is Warnock's, not Grayson's. Warnock has made a point of not playing any of Grayson's signings so there is only one manager to blame for the shambles on the pitch. Given the month we are in then it would be prudent to give Warnock the rest of the season to sort it out rather than bring someone in now; he has taken teams up from this position before so we can live in hope........!

Gfh obviously have no trust in warnock, otherwise they would give him some much needed transfer funds, all we will get is a few loans maybe a cheap squad player, basicly just enough to ensure we don't go down. Say goodbye to warnock in the summer and get a young dynamic manager and some good signings. They won't get rid before summer so we will just have to hold tight through even more shocking performances and hope for a summer revival! Then we will know how serious gfh are. Sussex white MOT

For me the only 2 guys I would want to see shouting orders from the LUFC dug out is Robbie Di Matteo or Gus Poyet.
If we have money to spend like people say we do then either of them are realistic and give them a transfer kitty between £4m - £5m with what we already have in our squad and they could easily get us in the top 2

we are currently lacking pace and flair in our team, we have no one who can beat a man on the wings and put a good ball into the middle.

Anyone else reckon we should let Nayls have the rest of the season and see how he does. He seems to be doing well with the u18's which might mean some of them on the bench. I'm only saying this because Leeds have found some great managers from within their ranks e.g Revie, Poyet, Wilkinson, Strachan etc. And if we had promoted from within in most cases we'd be a lot higher than we are now. Look at Di Matteo and Steve Clarke!

If it was possible to get di matteo then there's your manager right there. Plays good flowing football and would have some pull when it comes to getting players in
Also knows the game very tactical minded you only have to look at what he did when taking over Chelsea the game against Barcelona one they were never ment to win a TACTICS won that game Di Matteo Tactics.
Alas I doubt we will see him at Leeds but one can hope

can't believe what warnock is saying about becchio, about him not having his head in the game and saying he should start repaying the club for what they have done for him, owing the fans a performance starting at brum, ffs this guy has been a loyal servent to the club scored vital goals for us always scores a decent amount each season has scored 17 goals this season and colin is happy to pull him down, what about the s**t hoofball football, the constant changing of the team, weak or no tactics, playing players out of postion, playing pelts instead of drury or white, just playing brown, lol, buying varney, getting rid of younger players to only be replaced with journymen that are too old or near it, becchio will always score goals if given the right service from the decent wingplay not having to stand there while the ball is getting hoofed up front with his back to goal, most matches he don't stand a chance, but has still managed to score goals in a very poor team with bad tactics, so warnock i think you better look in the mirror and ask who should be paying back the club with a perfomance and alot more besides, cos your s**t ain't working pal, WARNOCK OUT, MOT

to the people moaning about GFH, are they really gonna financialy back a manager who will be leaving in the summer, spending 10 mil on Warnocks team and then have a new manager come in who would only end up seeling them for half that to bring his own in, causing a loss for GFH already, i can see why theyd be hesitant to invest if Warnocks only going to be around until the end of the season, they said in the contract that theyd sign if Warnock's position was secured, but this was probably to avoid pay-outs and they could just let him run his contract out

Come on Neil call it a draw times up you gave it a go don't imbaress yourself by staying when 80 to 90% don't want you at club.GHf give the 3 or 4 million to a young manager, even if there is fu#k all money get a manager who will get the best out off Mcormack (best player at our club ) Byram get him right midd give peliter a chance and play him right back.tell Becchio you are staying and we are not spending watt money we have on a new striker we are going to find a winger with pace who can cross a ball let the young players you going to be given a chance we will not be signing old cart horses or players on loan to get fit or other teams youngsters when we have a academy off our own that's all we want and with the right manager, a bit off investment (in young hungry players) ER will be once agai rocking from the rafters
