Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

I touched on it before, but isn't it amazing that Milanic is still on the payroll?
After all the backroom staff MC sacked to save money, how can he justify keeping this coach on the payroll whilst he does no work for LUFC?

{Ed013's Note - Its absolutely ridiculous and another thing to add to Leeds United the laughing stock series}

18 May 2015 22:56:31
if he's not back as manager which I wouldn't supprised then he should be working with whoevers manager or with the academy because I don't think dark is a bad manager he just needs to adapt to the English game.

Thank God for Blackpool. Otherwise we would be the most ridiculed club in recent history. Then again.

How many backroom staff did he sack was it a lot?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 10:15:58
Kitchen and laundry staff were sacked at TA and ER. Numbers, not too sure. Many with double digit years of service clocked.

Feel for them its hard when you been there that long. Happened to me 16 years then out, but it changed my focus and have not looked back, hope they have the same luck.

Is blackpool truly worse than us? Really?

Agree2 Disagree0

19 May 2015 15:18:43
Robbie Fowler was still on the payroll for like half a decade after his exit.

Agree2 Disagree1

So the possible new Leeds coach is angry? Well that's it it can only be the Incredible Hulk! But will we like him when he gets angry? Mot hopefully with not a season like the last.

Good job Hulk turn green not purple

Could be Ian Holloway, conversations between him and Cellino would be interesting!

Agree1 Disagree0

18 May 2015 22:14:25
Could be Di Canio, very angry man

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Please No!}

19 May 2015 05:39:23
Didn't he say new coach wants revenge and has a point to prove?
Omg! Di canio. Please no!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 08:40:07
In his interview last week didn't he say he wanted a English coach

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 10:00:52
Does angry mean unfinished business? If so, it could be darko but also possibly Grayson!?

You have got to feel a bit sorry for David Haigh, locked up for ever it seems, no trial, no evidence presented, not allowed to defend ya self cause some "judge" freezes your money so can't pay for a defence.

I am no lawer but it looks like entrapment to me and what I don't understand is why can't he use the human rights laws? Oh yeah Middle East don't have them.

You can say what you like about the uk but compared to a lot of countries we are ace, seems no hope for Haigh but apart from the odd story here and there no seems to care, I'm no fan of him one way or other but what has happened to him ain't right, still being locked up has taken away "who ate or the pies" jokes.

GFH well looks like they are badder than uncle ken (he only sued you and mouthed off), madder than MC(all mouth), GFH in a different league in terms of screwing people over in my opinion

As I keep telling everyone many times, human rights are inapplicable there. There are none. It is sharia law. Enter at own risk.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it is not quite true though is it, there are 3 legal systems in Dubai, civil, criminal and Sharia law. It really depends on the offence. Though I do agree, best to stay away if you are in any trouble, especially if it is an Emirati you are in dispute with, as the law here will always favour the local over a foreigner.}

After ten years in serie a Cagliari relegated, looks like it was only Cellino keeping them up. What does he know. quite a bit if you ask the Cagliari fans

Believable3 Unbelievable3

18 May 2015 22:03:56
Are you Cellino in disguise.

Agree2 Disagree0

18 May 2015 23:08:35
No but watch out for Avelar and Mpoku from Cagliari and Mauri and Mariga from Parma. Think they will be players Cellino will go for

Agree0 Disagree1

Ross Wallace is leaving Burnley what would your thoughts be if we ended up signing him. Also is there any news about Redfern or is it the same as before

Believable1 Unbelievable0

18 May 2015 16:05:05
I keep checking the banter page several times a day. I don't know what its doing to redfearn but the "no news" is killing me.
Like everyone I plead whatever it is just do it. Get a players list, Chase the ones you want and get them in before they are snapped up (as they will if they are any good). Show the kids your good intentions and convince them to come along for the ride into the prem.

Our contradictory owner isn't going to do diddly squat if it actually means he has to spend money. Bar securing the services of Cook and Pearson because he had to he won't do a thing.

I would say he needs to appoint a sporting director (because he will) and new coach before even thinking about starting talking to players and agents. But this costs money and he will stretch things out as long as he can. And without this in place no player would want to talk to us.

Redders is contracted to the end of June and MC will want to maximise his use, that or he is hoping he packs it in and doesn't have to pay the 1 months wages.

So for the near future, I see no activity aparat from long shot rumours and gossip from the redtops and agents.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 14:57:06
MC just make a decision and get the coach in - if we are going to change then do it now! We need to get the pre season stuff sorted and the team need to know who will be coaching them - let's not do last minute .com - PLEASE!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

18 May 2015 15:34:27
Speaking of pre season anyone know what our plans are for pre season going on tour wise that is?

Agree0 Disagree1

18 May 2015 10:59:49
I might get a lot of stick here but I agree with a lot of what MC has said, the way he has done it is poor though, that goes without saying. I think Steve Thompson was the reason behind the good form just like Poyet in the Wise era. I can't put my finger on it but NR just gets on my nerves, the comments pre and post match, the awful subs and lack of them, the way he talks about his youngsters and won't drop them even if they play poor. MC is crazy for the comments he made but its no worse than NR giving the press his transfer targets. That is desperation, imo two or three additions and the right coach this squad is capable of winning the championship, we just need someone who can handle pressure and not be afraid to discipline players. Whoever comes in needs to sort out the defense as we have been poor in that area for about 15 years now! Glenn Hoddle for me.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

18 May 2015 12:56:37
Agree Vinny with most of what you put! Ain't too sure about Hoddle?

Strong rumour that Darko Milanic will be brought back as head coach

Agree2 Disagree1

18 May 2015 14:26:58
Any coach needs a pre season to get to know squad and what players can do. Last season was up and running when we were trying to put new coaches in place. Not saying Milanic is any good but he did not get much of a chance, doomed from the start, Hope a coach is in place this week and we can get on with it.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 14:28:08
NottsWhite, if what you say occurs I expect the fans to get most restless.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 15:36:05
Think we need more than 2-3 additions but I agree fully with OP

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 15:37:55
I think the strong rumour is just paper talk really. we all knew he hadnt been sacked and was still on the payroll hence the so called strong rumour now! Tbh I don't think he got a fair crack at it really.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 10:43:42
Just been reading about the forgotten man, David Haigh. I can't believe he has been inside for a year without even being charged of a crime. Now he has no representation because the authorities out there won't release funds from his frozen bank account to pay his legal team. It puts my Monday morning blues into perspective!

MM

Believable4 Unbelievable2

18 May 2015 14:30:32
Sharia law at its finest. Haigh is a bit of a prat though. Corrupt and retarded. Doesn't deserve to be treated like this but he never should've gone there.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 May 2015 15:39:44
Corrupt and retarded is abit strong GIW. nieve YES VERY!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 May 2015 20:12:24
And m, no my eval is on point. You don't create fictional invoices to pay yourself out of convenience because your employer didn't pay you even if they do consent. It's called fraud. Then if you foolish enough to get trapped you brought it on yourself. He got what he wanted! I know for a fact he terrible lawyer.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2015 08:31:20
I just thought he'd have been charged by now. Bit harsh to be inside after a year without charge. I wonder how long he can be detained for?

MM

MM, until his death

Looks like Cellino has flaunted FA rules again. FA looking into R.Mc transfer and payment to unauthorised agent. Nothing easy with Cellino.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

18 May 2015 08:59:17
Another week and let us see what we have in store. I bet the red tops are loving it they have nothing else to write about so let us slag Leeds off and cause a bit of trouble. If Redders does go and who knows with Cellino as he would probably change his mnd. I do think Gus would be a good choice I am sure at one time he did say he would love to come back to Leeds. We do need a strong manager/coach anyway let see what is going to happen this week to our beloved club.

What ever is happening/will happen it needs to happen sharpish!

I agree. I think new coach this week
Reckon it might be a surprise new coach though. Maybe non league or something
