I hate it when people say if we'd have won this game or bought that player we'd have been in the play offs
So I really hate myself for saying this but being only 13 points behind Wednesday I just wonder if we would be where they are if we'd have bought Forestieri. I mean, I wonder how many points he has won for them this season.
We might be a few quid worse off but we also could be looking a a Premier League return next season.
I know some on here are happy that we're still a club that exists (mentioning no names BW 😉) but I'm a lot older than you and I want to see us dining off the top table before I shuffle off this mortal coil! #spend some money Massimo!

If its right how they got premier stars to do videos, message for terminally ill boy, shows what a sick bunch of individuals these people are.

If that's true we should let them know what we think of them the next time their outside Elland Road.

As they have claimed it was not done in their name. Think people should calm down! Tabloid rubbish have been fueling false claims from both sides for weeks now. It seems some are quick to jump on anything from the other side, but when their own side is attacked the cry goes up that it's only been reported in "the fail" so no chance it's true. How about both sides are being played by tabloid journalists.

Disagree easy for this nameless faceless group to declare nothing to do with them after it comes out how there players were disgustingly tricked into saying the words. Why didn't they distance themselves from video straight away . Answer. They were delighted to be getting the airtime.

Same as when Cellino comes out three days later stating he is being mis - quoted. Funny then how you always seem to find this plausible. The person responsible for this is the same person who has phoned bates/Cellino in the past. He should apologise immediately.

Totally agree Leeds in dada land.

Deda no comparison to someone claiming to be misquoted to what ever individuals who were behind this disgraceful video and the disgraceful way they went about getting the footage.

One individual Wex. As stated guy should be ashamed of himself and should apologise. There session to be some consistency on here, Cellino's son makes comment and gets ban. However some on here seem to apologise for him and excuse him. If the other side are accused then the same people believe it without question, even when it comes from the same unreliable sorce they slate when it's about MC. No doubt if we lose a game before the end of the season,the anti Evans brigade will surface.

I see your point deda but this group of about 100 people are glad of any airtime.

Sorry guys the group who did it support the cellino out group. Players said why they did it so sick. Not saying it was cellino out lot. Just shows who their friends are though.

Whilst I applaud the season ticket gesture would it not have been easier just to show commitment and thus push ST sales, by saying that he will back the manager and provide funds for at least 3 new quality players. I know some say 5 but I was being a tad conservative with the budget. that's what people are calling for. Investment in the team (and the repurchase of Elland Road) . Those actions will convince many people to stump up the readies for a new ST. Unfortunatley with so many broken Cellino promises most people want action not promises of action. Shows of commitment will go a long way as all we have now is uncertainty.
Is Cellino going/ staying?
Is Evans going/ staying?

No it would not make sense at all
3 new quality players like wood. Boka and Erwin would not sell tickets.

I would say the offer is a clear intent to invest otherwise why would he waste his own money, so agree with ausman this way better.

Agree re SE going or not best to know sooner rather than later.

Is Cellino using his own money to refund ST holders if we don't achieve top six next season? I think it is a good initiative to maintain/ increase season ticket spend prior to the end of May but don't kid yourself this is going to cost him money.

Agree0 Disagree0

To validate my previous comment it is fair to say that you have to make some presumptions prior to the details of the refund being made available. There are those that believe that if we don't make top 6 next season we will receive a refund equivalent to 25% or 50% of the ticket price. I believe that the refund will be received as a discount on the following years season ticket. Another assumption I make is that the aim of the offer is to at least retain or increase the number of season ticket purchases before 31st May 2016. Assuming we have 12500 ST holders who pay an average of £500 that would equal £6.25m. If the offer increased the ST allocation to 15000 this would equal £7.5m revenue. Assume we did not achieve top six and 25% was due per ticket (approx. £125) , this would equal a refund of £1.875m however if the refund was through a discount on the following year season ticket (average price £375) and all 15000 wanted to take advantage (another assumption) then ST revenue for 2017/ 18 season would be £5.625m. In summary on my assumptions the total ST revenue over the next two seasons would be £13.125m as opposed to no offer being in place and 12500 ST holder being retained (assumption) then ST revenue would be £12.5m. The ST offer (if my assumptions are realised) would increase the club revenue by £625000. Nothing wrong with that but until the details of the refund are confirmed we cannot make assumptions one way of the other that it is costing Cellino money (forgive the irony that I make many assumptions and this post is somewhat nerdy)

"3 new quality players like wood. Boka and Erwin would not sell tickets"

unfortunately the word 'quality' and those three names are a total contradiction in words?

We need to get rid of fringe players and pull more youth into the team, backed up with a few more experienced players.

Wood has done nothing to justify the money we paid for him?

Highest priced Leeds signing in how many years?

To get any refund that would mean buying season tickets for two seasons. Assuming that prices do not increase for following season, (big assumption) then a player will be sold to cover refund. All in all a clever marketing ploy, but if it increases revenue for the club then no-one can complain.

As Mad Mick is convinced we will win at Hull, it got me thinking how would SE stats look if we win our last 3 games.

Well if we do (if I know) it would look something like this for the league.

Played 35 w 15, d 10, L 10 Pts 55 at an average of 1.57 ppg so over 46 games would have given us 72 points.

Wendies on 70 now with 3 left so that prob would not quite get us into top 6 but on that form we not far off even now with squad we have.

All if/ buts I know but does show that maybe SE could get us there with a bit of backing in summer?

I love hope, its the hope that kills ya, going for a 2-1 win tomorrow but only cause MM seems so convinced, will be a close one just hope we approach it positive as best way for us.

How does se stats compare with the last 35 games of vertigo larry as a matter of interest?

God we are going back in history now, I will look into what Larry did last 35 games in championship but travelling about at mo, would be interesting to see.

We cannot mathematically get into the top 6, so not sure where this is going?
