Saw the PR. Reasonably impressed with TC. However, VO came across as a bit of a tool. Don't see him succeeding in the transfer market. This will hurt TC who might actually be decent.

Good job you're not a judge GIW if you make your mind up on people on first impressions 🔪

He comes around slowly Lucas

That's what she said Cur

Why Lucas? Do you know with certainty different? Do you know VO is absolutely going to succeed in the task of finding good players capable of taking us into the PL on a budget whom have only a passionate desire to play for LUFC and will buy into the culture and philosophy of the new management team?

No outsider knows if he's going to succeed or fail especially seeing as though we don't have in depth insider knowledge of his strategic business plans. I like most fans hope he succeeds. How are you so sure he'll fail?

21 Jun 2017 00:23:48
LIG, I am not certain he will fail but I did not like some of the things I saw from him during the press conference. Like every fan, I hope he succeeds but I am preparing myself for the worst. It's a tall order and if top money is not going to be paid in wages then you'd rely on the recruiter's personality to get the deal over the line. I don't see VO possessing the necessary charisma to pull off the type of deals needed. Call it a GIW hunch.

Is anyone going to 'An audience with Peter Ridsdale' in Preston at the bargain price of £65 on July 6th? I'm thinking of becoming a ticket tout buying a bucket load and selling on eBay, there's bound to be high demand 🥃

Lucas, what are you on about that's a bargain! Oh, sorry I thought you said 65p. Then again even at that price I'd want a bogof deal and then I still wouldn't go. 😆

How many £65 would he need to make pay us back? he better get on tour

I've got an idea, crowd funding. Everyone donate what you can and when the total has hit £100 I'll buy a ticket and ask any questions you want. £100 to cover ticket, petrol, pie and any additional funds will go towards the Peter Bull s**t protection suit. What would you all want me to ask? And try to keep it family friendly as there maybe 1 kid in the audience, the tea ladies son.

What's he talking about, goldfish?

19 Jun 2017 22:21:01
do you get to kick him in the nuts afterwards? if so 65 is a bargain.

19 Jun 2017 23:36:01
LIG, I'd buy a ticket but I doubt I'd make it through the metal detector. I'm wondering though if we can scare Peter a little by ordering a group ticket for a table of say a dozen? Group name: Beeston Death Squad. Tickets c/o Treasurer Martyn_g.

GIW, they haven't invented the metal detector yet over the wrong side the the hills. It's at least 25 years off so you'll be ok

Still undecided after press conference. Will give TC a chance with an open mind - ever the optomist.

Not unhappy with press conference. A lot of people have said Orta was arrogant but i didn't see it. I think he was straight about players coming in and said we will sign players who want to play for Leeds and not just coming for the money. That is fine by me. It looks like we have a strong experienced structure with Orta, Kinnear and Bravo especially and i am hopeful for next season.
