Don't know what anyone else thinks but Ross being made club captain tells me Austin is probably leaving, probably to the Canaries knowing our luck?

Leeds supporter for over 40 years never been more disappointed than I am at present, sorry but I cannot see an end to our current plight. The signings being talked about a just not good enough for Leeds Utd we should have more ambition than the speculation the suggests. We should be up there with the best in the premier league, no excuses.

Hope so, green is a much better player.

Na makes him try work harder mc two tomorrow on a high hopefully ha

Austin quit as captain

"Green is a better player" Really? . When he has a bad one there is no one who can compare with awfulness to Green. Get off Rudis back . think we've learnt that he isn't a week in, week out player. So use him to suit.

lets face the facts, d.h. has lost the plot, he hasn't got the backing from the investors he claims.
he is scampering round looking for financial backing. he's skint he's made silly claims to andy flowers to get him on board and it's backfired on him, flowers is well pissed off.
he can't complete because he is financially embarrassed. he has his own money but not enough.
can you see the resemblance to the g.f.h. debacle, this takeover is going down the pan as we read. come clean haigh and tell the truth, let the other takeover group who you blocked and now are trying to get in your group move in and complete before its too late for the jan. transfer market
you can rubbish all you like but you know what i say is the truth.

You seem to know a lot about what is going on within the Club! To know what you claim you must work for the Club or know someone who does. Alternatively this is just your opinion? I thought we has established that saying this is the truth doesn't make it the truth!

What is going on in our club is unbelievable, there is no other team out there who is so badly dictated by their loudmouth board of directors. When have you heard the Leicester chairman talking rubbish, the middlesborough, brighton chairmans etc etc. these people are egotistical persons. Why are they more interested in publicity then getting the club where it belongs?

People I mean

This is not just opinion pal i can guarantee you that, watch this space.

Gfh no longer trust haigh he has no more backers

Well Pearson is talking S***e. You think their going to make Europe lol. They'll be lucky to not get relegated!

MCD = truth
Pearson = fantasy

You'd be complaining if mcD said this ad you'd be on about our weak team. Leicester are bottom PL at best!

Stop a**e licking and be Leeds!

MOT ALWAYS

What takes longer? Billy Paynter to find the net or Haigh obtaining takeover approval? Answer. It's about the same. So we in big trouble.

So it's not happening then

Instead of looking for new strikers, how about spending the transfer money on the best treatment available for Davide Somma, then get him match fit asap. Would be great. (Sorry I am aware this is a pipe dream, but would be great.)

He must be fit by now. One year deal maybe but I love the guy and I've conceded that's its over for him here, wld love to be wrong

said it before . this is the worst time of the season for leeds and especially bmd, it's no surprise with the takeover hovering painfully over the club that players at the club from the last managerial outing are less than committed as have been slated from pillar to post mercilessly for ages . they are waiting to go , unfortunately bmd has to play players some who know they are going . that's all it takes unless you have 11committed players it will show in the team performance as it has so painfully. new players need to be bought into a good solid committed team . they havn, t been so I'm finding it hard to push to much blame on them. bmd is in no mans land right now trying to keep a fragile dressing room together . so FFS pull your fingers out directors and such like and let's get this show on the road before we implode.!

Makes total sense. Right on the nail here. Very likely the correct reason for loss of form. When we were going well we weren't really all that convincing so wouldn't take much to change the whole balance of the team. So get the finger out and do this deal. rubbish or get off the pot,,,

Leroy Lita anyone?

Not for me thanks.

Watched him loan at Brighton, shocking! Mainly unused sub. We can do better than this, no?

17 Jan 2014 19:33:56
Not better than what we already have.

As supporters and a team you're right, far better, but as owners and directors, can we? Do we have the pull we like to think we have, used to have?
Lita, Moore, Becchio and the likes are not the future, this season as with many others is gone but we have to look forward. We have a development squad that has ability and with the right choices under BMD it will go far, but at the moment we seem hell bent on employing any old name that fits the bill. When will it stop? Soon I hope.the name of Leeds United will haunt the opposition once again! MOT

He would be worse than varney, hunt, morison, paynter, showunmi and pretty much any other striker who has been on our books. Brighton fans disliked him, he was slow, lethargic and just useless for them.

Yes but did you see him on loan at wednesday last season I for one would take lita least he has pace to get in behind defences

His goalscoringrecord record is poor, 7 goals in 22 games + he would have high wages + why is it he can't hold down a place at any club? Why should we want a journeyman

Leeds united laughing stock of football Grayson team in league was miles better than Sunday league players we have now

17 Jan 2014 13:00:55
I think if we get beaten or battered tomorrow, if the team give less than 100% and are anywhere near as bad as they have been for the last 2 games then this job is beyond BMD already and he needs to resign, saying that, I sincerely hope the players turn it round and play with passion and BMD gets his tactics right!

Another transfer window and more disappointment. Jimmy kebe and cameron Stewart are good signings if they come good but we need 3-4 more signings. David haigh has said there's money available so Why aren't we ever ambitious enough. Look at other clubs that are getting players that we should be in for. Chalobah to boro, Maynard to Wigan, wells to uddersfield, joe lolley (gamble) udders, Simon Dawkins to derby 50k, Ashley Barnes to burnley. I know majority are strikers but that's what we need badly. Hope I'm proved wrong but can't see us getting anyone quality. Jim_lufc

we now have 3 home games and need we think a def 7 points.
now without tempting fate, what if we just get between 1 and 3 points?.
after all leicester and ipswich will be tough games.
what do people think should happen then?
I don't think there's much choice but to wait till end of season, get rid of deadwood, get in better players and give bmd everychance i'd expect owners to say.
the disappointing thing is the football we play.
you could forgive bmd if we played good stuff and were decent to watch, but we are so boring.
tough decision for new owners if we fin in say 12 to 13th place and look horrible.
if I did have a say or choice and that happened I would actually let bmd go and get back grayson.
go on slag me off but we played decent stuff, he loved the club and he had to put up with loads with rubbish which he wouldn't have to now.
he would jump at the chance.
anyway let's hope for at least 7 points and better performances and a mighty push. shrew leeds

You are missing the fact that half of our team are a shower of s**t! As you old saying goes you can't polish a turd. I'll take 12th or 13th this season and I think we will push on next. You state when he gets rid of his deadwood we will be better, we will. The reason the football is so unattractive is because we don't have players with flair. We can't expect mediocre players to be able to play like Brazil. I agree with you that we give Brian the benefit of the doubt this season and then see where we are this time next year. He will have his team then and there can be no excuses. He is building a team at the moment and I pray to good it comes good, but as I say if this time next year we are still struggling, then call for his head.

We have major trouble keeping the ball and passing so why oh why has McDermott told diouf our best player last season on the ball that he can leave stick him behind main striker and he would feed McCormack all day absolute madness perfect foil for our new skipper and we are trying to buy carp to replace him we don't have enough money to buy a player of same talents really bad managing I know he is slightly unfit but come on the other players are supposed to be fit and look at there performances recently diouf could help us up no doubt. Passing passion possession diouf mot

DIOUFF hasn't been interested all season.

Diouf does not want to play for us any more, he's hardly been anywhere near Leeds this season, and although he has had some very good reasons for this, they do not account for half a season away. Get him off the wage bill.
