Warnock said varney was snodders' replacement, ffs he's been the worst guy on the pitch this season! Already finding it hard to keep the faith for this season but trying my hardest. Mot
There is no this season while bates still runs the ship.
boycott is the only way to get his ar=e into gear!!

Not making excuses but we have being beaten or drawn with teams who are all in the top six currently. Think we have had the most difficult opening six games of any team in this league so far. I think if we are to play some teams on similar level so far to us in terms of positioning and points and some of the top teams were to take points off each other then we will be back in the mix come january time. When hopefully the takeover has gone through or Bates will realise that investing a few million into the team will with Warnock as the helm is a surefire way to promotion. Although I doubt the latter.
18 Sep 2012 23:09:37
time4 bates to go he did not turn up at er tonight b cause he was afraid and he has to sell club now urgently he knows that no one wants him at leeds utd anymore so come on ken sell up now
Boycott all the way until the chelsea has gone from are club love leeds hate bates!
18 Sep 2012 23:08:50
Quite shocked to see the number of fans on here wanting to see the back of Warnock already! Give the guy a break we're only 6 games in- A lot can change yet. Theres People talking like we may as quit for this season already. I understand peoples frustrations, but saying sod it to this season while its still in its infancy is completely the wrong attitude.
Keep your chins up guys!
If you went to E.R tonight you shouldn't be, warnock picked favourites for the starting line up instead of fresh legs. over run again by a mobile midfield, team looked tired after 15mins and lacked composure and confidence, poleon came on and gave us more thrust, grey came on and scored. nuff said. Ps TONGE IS A WASTE OF MONEY.
Agreed mate, he's working with very limited resources and a cloud over the club in the form of the takeover. He's never been a huge spender BUT I'm sure in an ideal world and with more budget, he'd have 5-6 more players in at least so as there isn't a massive panic like we have now Becchio also appears to be injured as well as Ross, same with the midfield with Green & Norris. I'm 100% he's the man for the job and given time, faith and some cash, he'll get us up
More like bates out ive had enough and so has every other leeds fan just get the hell out of are club you money grabbing parasite and let all the fans get back to what they do best supporting the team
Picked favourites? who else was he supposed to pick?
Why do you think Warnock's still managing in the lower leagues with all that experience? It's because he's not very good. Some of us were against him from the start by the way and have been saying all along that his style and his transfers are all wrong.
ML
Bench should have been, tonge, ashdown, becchio, lees, varney, thompson.
pugh at LB, work rest out ya sen.
18 Sep 2012 22:54:57
After tonight's game I personally think we need at least two more front men. Also I would give Ploeon a start instead of him making an impact off the bench.
Front men will only happen, when we get the chelsea out of LUFC!!
18 Sep 2012 22:52:26
i can't beleive we're struggling to make a couple of loan signings never mind permanent transfers (which there are still good one's out there) players sold in the summer came to approx 4 mill with incoming players costing approx 2mill so how can we possibly not have the funds. bates is bleeding this club dry not only of funds but success. the most frustrating part is, nobody seems to have any answers.. bates out NOW
Now more than ever is the time for the fans to come together and do what it takes to remove the chelsea from the club we cannot continue to let him divide the fans even further time for a change we are the only ones that can make the difference!
18 Sep 2012 22:44:20
Not a rumour -fact.
Unless Ken Bates walks out the door soon, attendnaces will continue to plummet, the team will get demoralised and we will be going nowhere fast this season!
It is a monstrousity that the club with such good crowds and high ticket prices cannot even afford a loan players wages or compete with smaller clubs for players. Simply not acceptable. I gave Bates the benefit of the doubt last season thinking that he wasn't convinced that Grayson was spending his money wisely, but now its clear. He is scr.....g us all. I'm an educated man but here goes - Bates OUT!
18 Sep 2012 22:37:52
Philip hay justed tweeted that Warnock when asked if he'll be on phone tomorrow looking for loan players said he might as well go fishing. Sounds as he is getting brasses off and there obviously no money at all. Complete and utter disaster for me how can should a small number of people over the last 14 years completely screw up our football club. It's about time we took over the place. If this was at lazio there would be rioting and mass arrests. I'm now fxxxking pxxxsed off
18 Sep 2012 22:22:10
just an opinion but league one is looking a likely destination warnock and bates are both sh*fting the club
18 Sep 2012 22:17:01
Is Austin the captain or Peltier? Only one of them is putting in a shift and it ain't Peltier
I think Peltier was only offered the captaincy during negotiations, to stop him going to another club.
Peltier needs to man up and Bates needs to go now.
BATES OUT, BATES OUT and do it with your feet!!
18 Sep 2012 22:14:49
im hoping if these potentiall buyers are going to buy us then they will give us the funds to get a few emergency loans! if we dont get anyone more than likely bates is staying. 58% possesion hull had tonight that is not acceptable
18 Sep 2012 22:07:26
7 points from possible 18 so far languishing around 14th in table now.
How many people here genuinely still believe we're going up?
Please no excuses about Warnock's hands being tied with regards to funds because a lot of people were saying we had a great chance of going up anyway regardless of the "takeover".
Now with a couple of injuries that will be the latest excuse to defend Warncok.
By the way 6 league games 1 clean sheet that doesn't seem like our leaky defence has been sorted out.
Overall I honestly would like to know what exactly Warnock has brought to us?
- more wins than defeats?
- clean sheets?
- free flowing football?
Sadly I don't think he's brought anything to us but only 6 games gone I'd love him to turn it around and prove me wrong.

Sorry but its the hardest start from any team, im surprised we have 7 points with the funds weve got
I have to say I still believe NW is the man for us, but hunting around the bargain basement isn t something that he was expecting to have to do. If he was being supported in transfers and I dont mean sell to buy, I mean decent cash, it would be different. Wouldn t be surprised if he walks away soon with the way he s been treated.

18 Sep 2012 22:06:01
I know that this may not be popular with most people and most of you will just say will mention the same things1) it wasn't warnock's team, 2) bates gives him no money, 3) the distraction of the takeover. But i think that we may want to have a look at warnock's record at leeds (not including cup games) so far just for a change of all the recent topics: played: 20 won:5 drawn:5 lost:10 and of this results home- won: 2 drawn:2 lost:6. In looking at this i have to say that this is pretty poor record and even though he has had to sell to spend Warnock has easily spent 2-3mill on players and there has to be some players on a high wage (peltier, norris, kenny and others) and some of those he has brought in have been extremely average whether they are so-called squad players or not as they seem to be getting a lot of game time due to a small squad. So even though i am desperate for bates to go i think that there has to be improvement on the managerial front and not just silly spending of hopeful money as there are players to be bought for a bargain if you have a manger that can spot them i.e matt phillips 250,000 and tom ince for a similar sum, if not there needs to be a change and a new young manager in with positive tactics and an eye for a good young player not just 30+ year old journey players( karl robinson, paul tidsdale,dougie freedman or a young coach from another team)
Great post - Totally honest without rose tinted glasses

I doesn't make a differece who we get. It's not the manager that needs changing, its the owner. If you can not see that, then you will be saying the samething with the next one. No input, no promotion, it's simple.
18 Sep 2012 21:52:32
Why won't the takeover happen, the team now after the injuries is no better than last year. 2-3 at home. Not promotion worthy. Wouldn't be surprised if Warnock walked and the takeover collapsed because of Warnock leaving. Why won't bated just f##k off out of our club. What is he doing. It doesn't take this long to sort out a takeover. Forests and cardiffs took no time compared to this. You can't say someones not stalling. If we are not in the zone by Christmas relegation is seriously on the cards. Not saying we are going down but if we don't start winning or signing were in trouble. I know you'll say I'm negative and not a real fan but u say that because I'm telling the hard truth. You know we are not capable of promotion at the moment. Religation could be on the cards if we dont book our ideas up!
Same old, same old
18 Sep 2012 23:29:25
I said it would happen soon the T/O but now i'm not so sure. Bates is playing this out so he can suck every penny out the club. He tells us these things take time. What he really ment was, these things take time while i'm filling my pockets.
He feeds out little bits of information to make us think he's on are side. He makes out it's always the other people that are holding things up. Which isn't hards to do, when knowbody is aloud to speak in defence. The man is taking us for lollypops. Funny how everton game is coming up. So no chance until after that, with it being a pay day for Bates, not us.
This man will not get another penny. I will not make his pay day any bigger than it should be. People who still think Bates is doin whats best for the club. I question who you actually work for and what your motives are.
THIS SEASON IS ABOUT TO BECOME A RIGHTOFF AND IT@S ONLY JUST BEGUN!
BOYCOTT ALL THE WAY!BATES OUT!

18 Sep 2012 21:50:55
In my opinion, if this takeover is happening it needs to be done soon, look at all the quality free agents about, akos buzsaky, emile heskey (dont shoot me i think he'd do a job in this league) owen hargreaves, anthony van den borre and ben haim, and players such as neil danns and kenwyne jones up for loan, we could have an awesome squad with a little investment.
The only invetsment is in Bates's pocket. He's laughing at us, while blameing other people for the hold up. I say again, vote with your feet, its the only thing that these greedy men understand. I feel sorry for the fans that have bought season tickets.

18 Sep 2012 21:49:22
After watching this tonight I have decided not to go to Everton , there are 4 reasons for this :
1 the money the club get will go straight into bates bank account £100 odd thousand plus any gate takings especially if as reported the buyout is nearing completion
2 the appalling way bates has tried to get the attendance up by suggesting we mourn Gary speed
3 I think Everton will batter us!
4 it would be good motivation for bates to sell if there's only say 10,000 there, it will send a big message to bates that his time is up.
As for the game tonight I dont think hull were all that but they controlled the game at our place which highlights the complete lack of support from our chairman in finance to the team which is another reason not to go to Everton as he will not put any money into our club until he goes.
Were you one of the 'getting behind the team' anti boycott from last week ?
Boycott is the only way to get to people like him. No money, no point in staying.

Tonight was a definite that we are under strength across the pitch. Without strengthening we will be battling to avoid div 1.
I said at the beginning of the season we would be lucky to stop up and nothing has changed my mind. NW is not as good as he thinks and even with investment I couldnt see him taking us up.
Lack of investment is whats killing are season.
BATES HAS TO GO NOW, BOYCOTT EVERTON GAME, SHOW WE WANT CHANGE!!

Will you ever give it up about Boycott? He plainly has no interest in Leeds.
Dont just boycott everton do every game until the leech has left are club one game is not going to make a difference we need to keep doing it
I'll keep saying boycott!! till the cows come home. i love my club but don't need to ask you who you love. whats the going rate, 5 dollars? bet your plan is to keep going and filling his pockets. by the way how much are you on? because you don't sound like leeds to me. you sound like bates's pr team.

18 Sep 2012 21:36:48
I don't think I can take much more of this!
Another season is dissapearing before it's really started and we are so short on quality players.
We are still clinging on to a "Big Club" aura,but soon Leeds will not be an attraction to players.
Already the likes of Brighton, Udders, and even Bristol city are buying better players than us. If we don't get out of this league very soon we may end up stranded in it. Every year it gets tougher and we arn't even challenging near the top.
I have to some extent sided with Bates in the past and commented that we should be grateful we are not in a desperate financial position,but I now agree that we need him out.
A little money(in football terms,2-3 mil) would just give us some bite,but alas the old git won't do it.
Surely a tilt at the prem would be worth the gamble for the return involved.
If I win the euro mill this week end expect a bid for the club, with no indemnity crap , no casino , no new boxes, just some stonking players lol.
I'm off to bed to cry myself to sleep and hope I wake up in a better mood....
Thankyou for listening :)
"T"
Know the feeling mate. Life as a Leeds supporter has never been so sad. Bates is killing the club. Then has the cheek to ask people to turn up for the everton game in respect to Gary Speed. I will never forget Gary Speed and i will remember him how i want to, as the great midfielder he was in the 90s. He will never be forgotten but i don't need to remember him by filling someones pockets.
SO GET FU++ED BATES!! GET OUT OF ARE CLUB YOU LEECH!!RIP SPEED!!

BAN,BAN,BAN,BAN,BAN. You really sound like Bates's pr machine. My anger has only ever been towards Bates and what he's doing to are club. So what if i'm not the best speller in the world. I still get my message across and by the looks of it, thats killing you. So run along back to Bates and tell him. Mot4life will never be defeated and a few spelling mastakes will not get him down. Don't know if you've noticed Ed. This guy never signs off and has hounded me, when ever i put Bates out or Boycott.

Can't see warnock sticking around after the shambles tonight his hands are so tied he may as well stand on the touch line with a straight jacket on
Its you doom and gloom merchants that need the straight jackets,NW wont walk away neither will true supporters,if your not happy f-ck off,the takeover will go through,our injuries will clear,and we will get more players,get behind the team and stick your moans up your ar-e.
Not so sure you're right though. I think he wanted the likes of Varney because he likes that style of player. I've always seen Warnock as a dinosaur out of touch with the modern pass and move game and I think his 'kick and rush' style of play has been badly exposed tonight and by the better teams such as Cardiff and Blackpool. Yes he's been working to a budget but so were others before him and they had a much better first 20 games. It's not all down to the money
He brought ten players in over the summer and most of them are woeful frankly. Yes we have a few injuries but that's part and parcel of the game. I've seen nothing in the last 20 games to convince me I was wrong about Warnock and a lot to suggest I was right.
ML
Carn't you see, he brought them in on a shoe string budget. Thats why theres no money left. You get what you pay for. !0 players and most teams in this league have bought 1 player for 10.
BATES OUT NOW, BOYCOTT THE LEECH!!
mot4life
He's had a better budget than Grayson and has managed to lose 10 of his first 20 games. The 'his own players' excuse thrown at me when I've criticised him in the past is no longer valid so now it's all about budget is it? No - he's a poor manager which is why, after all these years, he's never on the shortlists for the clubs at the top or with ambition to get there when they're looking for a manger.
ML
Grayson had some good players but over time, they have been sold. Once snoddy was sold and there wasn't enough money to replace him and a full team. What else can you do.
18 Sep 2012 21:32:33
Losing at home to hull is no way acceptable! Come on leeds!
18 Sep 2012 21:31:29
Tonight the tipping point has been made. The chronic lack of funding in the team has been demonstrated to all. Bates seems to think we should all be patient and get in the real world, as the Take over will take time, well how much time? May rolled by, June slipped under the radar, August disappeared with a final transfer day damp squib, now September dribbles down the pan as kids and weary players attempt to compete against correctly run football clubs. Enough is enough, Champions League prices for League One standard football. I renewed my season ticket believing we had the right manager, a good core group of players, with the hope of Bates gone and "Icing on the cake".
Instead Bates ate the cake! And left the rest of us to scrabble around looking for crumbs of hope.

i feel that us fans are split in 3 there is us who buy our season tickets and had enough of lining bates pocket which is why alot of us are think if not going to everton match and not buying anything from elland road.
then theres people who try to go to as many games as there budget allows who the same getting fed up of giving bates cash.
oh yes theres the armchair fans who r hapy when we win slag the players off when we lose but its these fans who r saying we should go to every game plus cup games just to get behind the lads but wat r these losing think the to guna go through and the main thing they go is get on at people who tell it how it is.
what do you think?
Well put lad! very true. one or two on here i feel work for bates, with stop all the boycotting, give it up. well i say" get f++ked and jog on" leave it to the people that care.

same old boring Anti-Bates posts, what happened to Leeds fans getting behind the team no matter what?
I know what your saying,but enough is enough,we need the cancer out of our club
Theres hardly anything left of the team - the team can't cope with these injuries as its making us weaker and that muffin won't give warnock any cash to get some quality to give us something to support.
Will people like YOU still be satisfied with Bates if were relegated? Oh wait, we can still support the team in league 1, again! I doubt relegation will happen, but were more of a bottom have squad with the injuries than we have been in previous seasons.
Shut up bates instead of coming on here giving it all this how about signing them documents and getting the hell out of are club leedsmad!
I think most of the people on here support man u or uddersfield. cause clearly some are not leeds fans or just wallys
Same old boring anti anti bates post what happened to Leeds fans appreciation of one another and respect for other peoples opinions
18 Sep 2012 14:11:30
I was bemoaning Bates to a mate of mine in London who asked me what I'd do different if I owned the club. This got me thinking and knowing some of the great posters on here would love your feed back.
I have to work on averages so please excuse inaccuracies.
First thing. Bates gone new regime feel good factor back
Second. Season tickets £500 if we could get 20,000 season ticket holders = £10M. Capacity 37,900. Leaving 19,700 available.
Individual ticket sales £25 cut off point for buying tickets Friday. Let's say we didn't manage to sell full amount but averaged 10,000 individual sales = £250,000 per game x 24 =£6M.
All the schools are put on a register inviting 49 ( and one teacher to look after the little darlins) from each school who have achieved something in sport or academically and as a reward have a free ticket. If there were 9,700 empty seats that's 194 schools. Kids been kids would buy stuff to eat and drink so there would be Some income.
We wouldn't have the income but we would be bringing on the next set of Leeds united fans who were given a chance to see their team as most parents can't afford it.
If people aren't sitting in seats it's not costing anything so might as well have someone sitting there.
This would always ensure we had a full crowd that was still bringing in good income, the club were putting something back into the community whilst encouraging kids to achieve and creating new support for the future.
If you add on top of that merchandise and gave all the full corporate boxes free advertising for their company in the ground, this also would attract more businesses.
The players could get more involved with schools visiting and mentoring, becoming great role models to the kids. Go back to turning our club into one that cares about the community and puts something back to get back the support not just now but in the future.
Of course someone will shoot me down and say it's not financially viable but we would take more money as opposed to the 23,000 crowds were currently getting and do something good for a change. Philbramley
Doubling the attendance means doubling every other expenditure, such as catering staff, stewarding, police etc. good idea but could be hard to implement. {Ed001's Note - that isn't actually true, the expenditure does not double necessarily, in very few cases will it do so.}
I fully agree with everything you say but your speaking common sense and that is alien to most football clubs. I run my own business and everytime I go to a match it cracks me up (no just because of some of the donkeys we have had playing for us) but because of how badly Leeds is run commercially, it is a joke. Even the simplest things like staff at the bar or concession stands, there is very few so everyone queues up for ages instead of being able to spend their money quickly and easily. Its the same in the Bremner bar, loads of punters and no bloody staff!
I could go on and on but who is listening?
Give me a week in the commercial department at Leeds and I would make about 10 changes which would cost LUFC nothing yet increase turnover. Is it rocket science to realise that a full stadium, even if 10,000 of the tickets are given away for little or nothing, makes for a better atmosphere, benefits the players and increases sales of merchandise??

Who says we even looked at Reo-Coker? Just because a player is available doesn't mean we ever approached him or wanted him.
This is why Bates needs to go. We should be getting these type of players. Please! Don't say he will not be doing this while T/O is going on. Lets face facts. He wouldn't of done it, T/O or no T/O. The mans had his fill and now been found out. Hopefully he'll get his in another life.

My best (imaginary) friend called Mark gill will be taking over leeds in the next day or two. He is rumoured to have completed the signing of Lionel Messi also he will be signing a new cm called Harris Petch. BATES OUT!!!!!!
Is your name Harris petch

Kenwyne Jones is TWICE the player Beckford is, get him signed and keep him for as long as poss!!
Mmmm yer we could afford him on a long contract!! About a week should eat up bates whole wage bill! Will not happen! Lower your sites beckford is a much better fit!
It's Bates's site's that needs lowering. We exspect nothing, so give him nothing. He'll get bored and go away( BIT OF LUCK!)

This may sound a bit extreme....what about turning up to the ground on match days but not entering the stadium. Cheer for our team from outside the ground.
1. The team know that we are behind them.
2. It will make a huge story for the media.
3. Fuch face doesn't get a penny.
Sounds really out there and some probably couldn't be bothered turning up to the ground and not going in, but this would prove to the team that we are with them and only Bates that we are against.
Yes I know a stupid idea, but I don't know how to solve this problem we have.
MOT fredh
You got it, Stupid Idea
Rob MOT
I second that got to be the most stupid idea yet
I know how to solve this 'problem' go to the games, pay your money and support your club!
If Bates doesn't want to sell it's up to him, he payed for the club, he can do whatever he likes with it, he's also a stubborn old man who isn't likely to give a toss about protests or boycotts, and in fact this probably will make him less likely to sell the club because he won't want the fans to feel they ever got to him.
I urge all Leeds fans to start being more optimistic, when you consider who we've played at the start of this season I'd say we've done pretty well tbh!
MOT 'C'
For the millionth time, BATES WONT CARE!!!
A Sit-in is the best idea i've seen on here.
So is going to games and filling his pockets. How stupid is that, when we know whats going on.
RMOTLIFE
Haha its never going to work any of this all its doing is causing arguments. if every leeds fans somehow could come to an agreement then it would but thatt is never ever ever going to happen so support the team and get on with it
Yeah...I kind of thought it wasnt a good idea when I posted it, but it is soooo difficult to endure this. I am 52 and have been a Leeds fan all my life. Reading recent posts have given me a glimmer of hope again.

Personally I think Neil is glossing over the lack of money with his suggestion that there are virtually no loan signings that would improve our squad... Let alone strikers...
There are a number of Free Agents AND potential loanees that MIGHT make an impact....
Whilst no everyone's cup or tea, Heskey is still available, as is Sidibe, Beckford is looking lost, and sliding out of favour,,, in other positions Luke Young, Owen Hargreaves, Lee Bowyer! Thomas Hitzlberger, James McFadden!, Reo Coker to name a few...
the above will surely raise eyebrows on fitness, and age fronts, but most on their day CAN affect a game... Why not take a gamble in the short term, it's not like we would give them all huge wages AND a 5 yr deal!!
However, if the money situation reported is Correct, then we had better hope that the likes of Dominic Poleon can score regularly, cos we are going to need the kids !!!
MOT.... BATES OUT
Chris. Morley.
Reo Coker looks like he is going to Charlton
Cant wait to see Poleon get his chance for a few games. Sooner the better

I think it's about time Ken Bates was hauled in front of the FA to answer questions on the state of affairs at Leeds United as it looks like we're going into administration. I thought the FA had laws on this situation. Also I would like to see Mr Bates answer questions on Fraud as it's clear the man is conning the paying people watching Leeds United charging over priced ticket prices for home and away fans, hence forth destroying the game. Also I think it's about time he was made to clear up a few things stating publicly who owns what at Leeds United. The whole scenario at Leeds as become a farce with this cloak and dagger approach with the paying public. It is clear people with season tickets are not getting value for money and are being kept in the dark on certain situations. So conclusion, as above the man should be made to answer questions on the overhaul and intentions of Leeds United before the FA as this might prevent Leeds United going into liquidation yet again.
Were going into administration ? Who the hell are you to have such an in depth financial knowledge of the club ? Stick a name to this completely absurd comment so that we can see who the real person is
You've not put a name to yours. So thats abit rich.^
He is not stating we are going into adminstration
Second poster was Mr Bates and I think I touched a nerve. Truth hurts.
Very true I didn't say we were going into administration. I said likely

If 3000 away fans attend at £35 a game thats £105,000 at average in revenue made just on away fans. Wheres that money going.
Wages? loan fees? just a thought

Ken Bates is a very clever man. By not funding the team he has anchored our expectations. We dont expect any better than mid table but will consider it a massive massive success if we clinch 6th spot and a play off place. It just isnt good enough. Leeds United deserve better. Every football team deserves better. The summer was painful. Now the season is worse. Every week we are crapping ourselves at the sight of players picking up niggling little injuries. I, for one, cant remember a more desperate time as a fan of this football team. And it could get worse. Such an approach to running the club could ultimately bring us back into League 1. If we dont replace Ross with someone truly capable of scoring goals - our already flairless side just arent going to score enough goals. For me, Ross and Snodgrass were the only valid players last season. Now we have neither and, yet again, no one has replaced them.
He's only clever if he as a body double. heeheeeee.
I can, when we nearly went under
I said the team, not the club.
18 Sep 2012 10:17:08
ideally we need to loan a striker that can take a good set piece . we look quite poor on the attack against the better teams in the league and our only real chances this season are coming from these set pieces
18 Sep 2012 09:58:24
New Season, New Start, Same Old Fu**ing Story . . . We're Getting Shafted
Were the biggest club in the league but have no money and no ambition, who long will it be before NW walks away !
With moaning gits like you it wont be long,why dont you concentrate on supporting the boys,all the whining in t he world wont make a shred of difference,NW is doing a great job albeit with hands tied,if your not happy f-ck off and "support" someone else.
Yess support the team you mardy bum
18 Sep 2012 09:25:04
Ken has now money and no ambition for our club, he has to go .... there are no p loan players coming in, we are a mid to low table side.
IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE ...... you have to vote with your feet and stay away, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH . . . . . BATES HAS TO GO !
Are you a huddersfield fan? MOT? does that not ring any bells? why would LOYAL leeds fans stay away from the place they love the most because of some old git. stop banging on about him grrr
18 Sep 2012 08:01:56
Quick question but who do you guys think is worse. The supporter who boycotts games to protest at KB or the supporters who go to the games but spend all there energies chanting for Bates to leave and not getting behind the team.
Before anyone asks I am neither of these, i'm in the can't afford to go as we don't have the money bracket at the moment but was interested in what people think. I won't colour peoples opinion on what I think on this subject just interested in what people think
How do you think that works then? If you buy a company, you buy it , including the cash. If he is owed money by the club he will get it whether owned or not unless it is eliminated as part of the purchase price, in which case it's reflected therein....over simplistic explanation......
I will not reply to your post as it is very questionable and why do you want to know this? We are all leeds fans and we want whats best for our club, but some of us disagree with what we should do, thats all. very devisive post
You've just replied durrrrr??
I would have to say the fans who chant at the game are the worst. If you are at the game, protest all you want before and after the game but forget all the problems off the pitch for 90mins and get behind the team when the game is on. It drags down the moral of the players if all the fans chant about is the owners.
"i will not reply to your post" wally. personally i think we are LEEDS we should MOT show people we are the most loyal supporters and not little divis that let a sad old man ruin us

Unless the club gets sold, we are in deep shi* . . . . if KB does not seal we are in administration, the man is a cheat, a liar, and totally dishonest
Stop Giving KB a reason to stay, if you go to ER you are just giving him your money, it is not going into the club ..... LUFC .. Kens Piggy Bank !
How could it get as bad as that again?!!

Before you start it's not a FACT, well not until it's happened, with so many let downs. Found out today and before you start, NO! I am not saying who by. All i can say is time will tell if i'm right about what i've been told. Anyway, the indemnity is no longer a issue. The people buying the club have said they will cover any loses. From what i've been told it's imenent(spelling prob wrong, soz) GFH are not the buyers, they are the people that are brokering the deal for the buyers. So forget David Haigh being chairman, it's a mith. From what he said and he named no names. We can gat ready for the bigtime. All are worrys and anger, will be gone over night. Like i said lads, it's not a fact until it happens and i'm happy to put my name to this and my neck on the line. Also before the same guy replys, YES! I am the same lad that wants Bates out and for people to botcott. GET OVER IT!!
HOPE MY BOYCOTT IS OVER AND I CAN ONCE AGAIN FOLLOW THE TEAM I LOVE!!
mot4life
Everyone knew they was just brokers like 2 days after the Wolves game so well done on your up to date source with all this massively new info
So what if they arent the buyers the chairman doesnt have to be a buyer it just so happens that in our case Bates is Chairman as well as owner.
This is to those who thought Patel or what ever his name was, was part of the buyers. You might of known different but some didn't. I carn't wait till this happens because you are the ones that shot and bad mouthed LUST in flames. Watch when all this go through and you see that they know alot more than you fans think. Shoot me down but i know in a few days to a week, i will be on here saying" How much did you know?" Not alot by the way you never sign off for what you know and believe in. Even Bates doesn't know who the buyers are, thats why he's been pi--ing around. He wants to know what there worth, in the hope of uping the anty. In time we will see if i'm right or not. Plus if your going to pull my post apart. Then atleast have the ar=e to sign off because your acting like a closset queen(NOT GOOD!)
BATES IS GOING< WATCH THIS SPACE!
mot4life
After agree with mot4life to many fans on here seem to slag him off but you have to hand it to him alot of his posts make sense eventually you will all see that he was right all along as for lust we would be no where without them keep up the good work lads i for one am right behind what you are doing time for a change leedsmad!
People have a right to say what they believe in. You don't have to agree or disagree. We all support the same team and want whats best for the club. You'ld think there was witches for fans. The way people go on.
THE GREAT FEET MARCH!!
