I say bring on you brum's, rams, tractor boys, addicks, hudds and forest with half the kuwaity national team. For we are LEEDS UNITED and guess what we rule SUPREME.

Forrest appoint Sean O'Driscoll as manager from mighty Crawley Town, now that is "iconic". Can we please put the Warmock rumours to bed. Looks like the Kuwaiti fridge sellers offered jobs to Warnock in June and then Macarthy this week and both didn't want to touch it with a barge pole. Might tell you what you need to know about there owners. The Leeds takeover has been much more professional in its undertaking

Believable8 Unbelievable0

Sean oDriscoll got donny to play us off the park when was there probably one of best footballing teams we played against for a long time with Swansea
Let's be grateful that warnock staying at a big club no matter who's in charge
Let's remember his loyalty when we're questioning his signings he has earned some time from me to put us where we belong

O'driscoll, desperatly wanted to get back into the championship and this was the only door that was open. He might aswell of managed Kuwaity national team. Then they wouldn't of had to bring them here.

i know we have made 4 signings so far in drury,green,pearce and kenny, but i think we still need 1 more striker, a central midfielder, a winger, right back and another CB. also warnock has said he wants another goalkeeper

Your forgetting Austin and Varney more or less done deals. Austin being the most exciting of the two. Don't write off Varney yet, he could still show the magic he did at Blackpool. Lets give the lad a chance of are passionate support.

Does no one understand that you can mould a player around their pace, you can't learn pace you have it or you don't, aidy white may run into the corner and ruin the delivery but at the end of the day warnock can teach him to cross a ball!! We keep saying we need young players with pace yet aidy white should be sold? Rubbish we don't want to throw away future talent

Crewe, are known for that in there youth system quick and strong and they sign you because they teach u the rest.

What a crock of s###e
Running is part of a players make up but just because they can run fast means there gonna be a good player
If that's the case lets sign usain bolt then
White is very average and has no footballing brain and often looks lost when has the chance to use the ball that is something you should not need teaching at his age
Plus he has turned down a contract so let him go

I rate Aidy so think we should keep him but as a club we can NOT be held to ransom by a 20 year old, imagine whats going to happen with the rest of the squad when their contracts are up! #MOT SussexLeeds

I am confident the take over will be tomorrow. A new company has been registered called Leeds United Vision and as LUTV is outsourced and LUST often refer to the vision statement it all makes sense (well I hope so!)

Neil Warnock is a top manager with bags of experience. and he wont take any crap of the players. he is with out doubt the best manageril appointment we have had for a long time. just hope this takeover is completed as soon as possible so we can all then concentrate fully on pre season and neil warnock can add the players that he wants. and hopefully snoddy will sign new deal. bring on 18th august COME ON LEEDS MOT.

Hey guys, why is aidy white going to derby he's only gonna be a benchwarmer after the manager realizes he's a load of rubbish.
Another point who made up the roumer about beckford comin back to Leeds.If he does come back(wich I bet you he won't ) he will get a he'll of a leeds reception ie we won't want him.


Come on get the takeover complete you bahrainian big spenders

Mot

Believable3 Unbelievable10

It will be just you then mate because when i was at the Leicester match last season the Kop (myself included) were chanting his name and he gave us a Leeds salute back.
They subbed him after 45 mins because he wasn't actually trying to score against Leeds and even tried to swap shirts with Alex Bruce.
The man is a LEGEND, remember we could of still being in league 1 if he hadn't of scored against Bristol Rovers to make it 2-1.

Agree5 Disagree0

I for one want Beckford back, He's at his best with a Leeds shirt on and I bet he would score 20+ for us next season if signed.

Agree6 Disagree0

I'd pick beckford up and clean his boots to get him back he is a Ledgend at elland road
Don't be so bitter he had chance to play premier league football and quadruple his wages
Suppose you would have said no yourself would you cos I Wunt and I love Leeds
Also you can't get to elland road much cos he got best reception of game v Leicester

Last season more often than not I'd go to watch Leeds and get really frustrated with Aidy White because he blew hot and cold. I think he's not a bad player but needs to get a lot better. If he stays he will learn a lot from NW and benefit from his management ifbhe goes I think he will end up dropping down the divisions. His agent obviously is telling him he's better than he currently is. Philbramley

Believable8 Unbelievable0

I think neil has brought in such as Drury so that White could learn from him I also think that it is useful for Brown to stop to bring some of the younger players along als, what do you lot think?

If aidy white leaves for derby it won't be for money. He will be going for first team football. If carney signs, he is much stronger, runs a lot more, has much greater composure, and isn't too much slower than white. I can see carnet playing on the left. White certainly isn't going to get in at left back with drury on the team. So it would seem he's leaving for first team football. Also brown will be used as back up for Austin if he signs. If Austin and varney sign. We just need a right back ( maybe peltier) and a pacey forward ( maybe dj Campbell ) and well be looking in pretty good shape. I still think we could use another good centre back ( any possible targets?) but all round if snoddy signs we will be looking good.

Just seen a couple of "news" accounts on twitter saying Snodgrass has told Neil Warnock he wants to go to Norwich. Wouldn't surprise me too much. For as much as 5m ?

I doubt Houghton would spend £5m on Snodgrass if I'm honest.

Please Stay Snoddy !

Had some information from a friend living in Yorkshire who is a lifelong Leeds supporter and who has regular contact with one senior member of the backroom staff at the club, he has told me to keep an eye on the OS for some good news today, he did not mention whether it be a signing or any news regarding takeover but as I live in Brighton I don't get much chance to get information regarding the club so thought I'd post when I do. MOT SussexLeeds

As the OP I felt it necessary to come and apologize for this lack of activity, being based in Brighton I can only go on what is offered up to me, and being a regular reading and a frequent replier to many posts on here I only thought it right to share the so called information I had, I too am a little dissapointed that nothing progressed, here's hoping today will bring something!

The future is bright, the future is very white!
I don’t understand why people are so negative any more. When the club announced DD and exclusivity they would only do this with a deal agreed (Subject to DD) in principal and for a limited pre-determined time span. Any extension agreed now, to the exclusivity deal, will just be more time needed to complete DD.
Worst case is the deal collapses and we are left with Bates etc. While this is not what we all want, the up side to this is Bates has now announced to the world, LUFC are for sale and a new buyer won’t be far away.
If the deal does go through then in order to pay, Est £50m for the club they must be wealthier than the current owners. No one in the business world spending that kind of money is ever going to pay that without a plan of making even more money back. That for me, indicates their intentions are to be consistently in the Premiership, a very realistic target with a club whose potential is as big as LUFC.
The squad rebuilding so far has been steady, no stellar signings yet but I think in all cases so far the player in are better than those they replace. If rumours are to be believed, then there are some even better ones still to join. We have the best manager for the job, so have faith in NW and see where we are come the first game with Wolves.

Time to stop the moaning and start building some belief and confidence, we are a new Leeds United. MOT

Believable20 Unbelievable0

What a sensible statement I agree with you 100%. Let's keep up the positive posts Ed

Agree12 Disagree0

I hear ya most sensible post i've read in a long time i must say! irish leeds fan!

Agree8 Disagree0

Couldnt agree more. NW is in a real pickle at the moment. He is trying to build a squad under current budget restraints set out by KB but is no doubt aware that additioanal funds will be made available when takeover is complete. A nightmare scenario for any manager at this stage of the new season!

Agree8 Disagree0

The last post about Warnock being in a pickle is exactly why I don't understand everyone being so chilled. This could indeed turn into a nightmare if Warnock loses out on his remaining major targets. Hopefully there are some cracking signings out there following instructions to "Hang on in there!"

Agree4 Disagree0

19 Jul 2012 02:55:32
This is not a rumour as such, more a personal opinion. I think the Austin deal must be as good as done, one way or another. As a general rule NW keeps pretty schtum about his preferred transfer targets. Considering there is an article up in lights about Austin on the OS I reckon it's a safe bet that we'll announce him as a signing in the not too distant future. Putting an article like that on the OS before something is agreed to is as good as announcing to the rest of the world "Hey we've found a good player at a bargain price that would be a welcome addition to almost any club - anyone else want to start a bidding war?"
