That was the best Leeds have played all season at home.

Wood was full of confidence, sure he missed chances again but got into space/ created them, Murphy played well and Cook for me had his best game and made a lot of things happen for the team.

Both full backs got forward really well and apart from the first 15 mins we dominated, should have been 4-1.

I think the season ticket plan is a great idea and credit were it is due, even if you want MC out you have to admit no other club has ever offered anything like this at this level and the logic behind the thinking is that investment in the team will happen in summer or MC wiljust be throwing his money away which really would be a sign of a mad man!

Great game tonight.

Great post dog and love the analysis of game helps get an idea for those of us not there. One thing you have all missed mc has made the seasons tickets for next year three times dearer.

19 Apr 2016 23:45:57
How was that only 2-1?
I was quite taken aback by the positive performance, but don't worry, .
Im still standing!

Excellent Proc. Good of you to Furnish us with your thoughts!

20 Apr 2016 15:31:39
already covered the "furnish" angle on another thread!

20 Apr 2016 16:31:08
tickets are the same price they have been frozen for third year in a row so i'm not sure what you mean by made them 3 times more Bermondsey White.

20 Apr 2016 18:42:36
no dave it was a joke in that he will give half back but charge three times more to get it. I am mc fan in general and think this is great thing and no other club is doing this because mc is passionate and will put money where mouth is.

19 Apr 2016 22:12:15
Shame we couldn't have put together these results 4 or 5 weeks ago. We were missing our most expensive player though. For the Massimo out crowd you lot can crawl back under your rock now. We are improving maybe not as fast as we'd like but we are better than we were last year and hopefully we can push on again next season maybe Evans is the one who knows.

19 Apr 2016 22:35:34
get a grip man. Because we have beat wolves, suddenly Cellino is fit and proper to move our club forward. Listen to yourself the man is a lunatic. But unfortunately we are stuck with him. Until he sells to the right person we are going nowhere.

19 Apr 2016 22:43:49
U must be a bitter MC out man then Slough!

{Ed003's Note - Why is anyone bitter if they want a lunatic out of their club ? no more personal attacks at other posters that make no sense please.}

19 Apr 2016 22:58:42
one thing to note slough with your post, it states until he sells to the RIOGHT man, nothing saying if mc leaves the next buyer will be better, he could seel to somone like bates or gfh or worse to bates or gfh. I think under current form both mc and evans have brought themsleves some time, and this pledge must saying something positive.

20 Apr 2016 12:17:47
Slough facts are facts chances are we will finish higher than we did last season and just because cellino is not liked by some he has improved Leeds as a team and as a club we are heading towards financial stability so what if nobody likes his ways or what he says he has improved our club on the other hand bring back ridsdale everyone loved him.

20 Apr 2016 00:31:07
Calling someone bitter is no comparison to calling a pearson a lunatic!

{Ed003's Note - i base my opinion on the fact he is.}

20 Apr 2016 18:44:59
matter of opinion ed, for a lunactic he is a very rich and successful man who has run a number (male and female) successful football clubs, he brought a sinking ship which he has steady and looks like he might even turn round.

one mans loony is another mans genuis.

19 Apr 2016 21:39:37
Gave it earlier Leeds to win both teams to score 4/ 1 hope some of ye got on.

19 Apr 2016 14:39:09
There's going to be a mass season ticket partial refund in May 2017 guys. Get yours now while you can. Lol. This circus won't leave town.

19 Apr 2016 15:08:34
Wow, couldn't believe it when I read it George. If we reach 15,000 in season ticket sales and don't reach the play offs, he's going to refund 50% of net cost! That's either sheer desperation fuelled by paranoia of fans turning against him or mega confidence. Either way, I like it!

MM.

19 Apr 2016 15:12:54
Must say though george, interesting move and this would cost lufc dear in the event of failiure to succeed. ( play-offs or top 2)
Maybe MC will go for it and surprise us all, much to the annoyance of the time to go lot.

19 Apr 2016 15:13:52
would cost EL TON of money!

19 Apr 2016 15:37:31
what an offer, always loved MC ;) thinks it shows confidenceor an honesty not to short change fans, either way it must get fans onside surely?

19 Apr 2016 15:45:12
Can't wait for the Massimo out crowd to have their say on this.

19 Apr 2016 16:34:21
Guys you have got to say credit were it is due!

I have never heard at a club at this level doing something like this so no matter what you feel about MC credit must go to the club and him for funding this move.

You would think (unless MC just likes giving money away) that this will lead to interesting investment in the team in the summer, otherwise what is the point as current team can't do any better than 10th at best, may also mean SE will keep his job, especially if he wins 3 out of last 4 which would mean top 10 finish.

Anyways I am just so pleased for the club to get some positive publicity for once and hopefully feelgood factor will be there tonight so I going for a 2-1 win.

I must admit that I have only missed 1 home game this season, take my young son to about half of those games so I don't have a season ticket for us but I will now, so if it works on me sure it will on other as well, brilliant commercial/ media relationship move by club -------NICE.

19 Apr 2016 16:42:19
I would like to know when the partial refund would become payable and due and how this would affect possible contravention of ffp rules in event of a failed attempt.

Notwithstanding, this move does please me in all seriousness. Also vindicates my stance in all this and my debate with Bermondsey. We are entitled to an annual attempt at the PL. We are Leeds and we're big enough. MOT.

19 Apr 2016 19:01:43
I smell an investor maybe the end of ghf.

19 Apr 2016 19:35:29
Wex
Your best post yet! I agree. Parkin?

19 Apr 2016 19:54:11
You could be right George but Massimo is a dark horse I would not be surprised if he pulls a big shot out of the bag.

19 Apr 2016 21:20:20
good old george to come in with wanting to know the details of the refund and when the money comes back into the account.

also don't think this vidicates anything other than mc is a decent guy and willing to make bold statements.

19 Apr 2016 21:32:20
Just make sure you get it in writing. lol!

19 Apr 2016 21:33:38
The refund will probably be a voucher to use for the following season. minus pie tax of course?

19 Apr 2016 22:34:55
I hope that those who are optimistic about this news are correct. However, in business, offers such as this, are generally a bad sign and indicate a cash flow problem. let's get cash now when we need it and hope to be in a position to deal with the consequences in 12 months times. NOT an MC or SE basher by the way.
MOT.

20 Apr 2016 01:31:50
Bermo
Getting it in writing and details only way could be enforced.
MC decent guy? Yep, there's another worldbeater.
Watch him sell Cook and Mowatt in summer.

20 Apr 2016 18:48:37
george please,

mc your clubs chairman has done a very bold uniquie and positive thing. every leeds fan is over the moon with this as it shows a commitment to the club and aspiration to succeed or give back to the leeds fan.

literally only you can find a negitive in this. has MC run over your dog or something? this bias is almost bording on obession.

let him sell the players, let's us not get top six and let him not give money back then we will all moan with you, in fact he would be linched.

innocent until guilty at the moment he has done a wonderful thing until he fails in that it has to been seen as such, you should know this coming from a law background, I only studied it and knew this much.
