It would be fantastic if the board could sign Martin ONeill. He would work wonders with a small budget in the Championship

Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.
30 Mar 2013 23:06:50
Not a rumour just want to congratulate the under 18s and Richard naylor for winning their league. Well done lads!
Although I want to see a new manager in, I have some sympathy for NW. I can't see how his tactics are to blame for our so called forwards missing so many chances. He is correct to point out that we should have at least ten more points if our forwards could score. We should have been out of sight today before young Lees was sent off.
Perhaps a note of caution to those who want to see more youth in the team, discipline is important no room for petulance. Hopefully Tom will learn from today.
If our strikers could score, our midfield pass and defenders defend and goalkeeper catch we would be great
So why loan out Poleon?
It Tom Lees had been sent off earlier in the season would he have been loaned out!
30 Mar 2013 22:51:49
How can Neil warnock blame tom lees saying he's let everyone down, ill tell you now Neil, that lad has certainly not let us fans down, how about looking at yourself and your own rubbish signings, where do we start, let's see, paddy Kenny, Lee Peltier, Adam drury, Luke varney, Michael tonge, David Norris, habibou, oh and not to mention Steve morison, who missed a sitter 6 yds out at 0 a piece and us down to 10 men you missed that, so before you slate someone who is Leeds through and through and will lead us back to prem and will be here a lot longer after you and your misfireing misfits are packed up and safely heading down m5 back to f---ing Cornwall or wherever it is you come from.
30 Mar 2013 22:46:54
O'neil sacked at Sunderland it's 10 years too late but he should be approached immediately!
30 Mar 2013 22:39:33
Ok gfh show your intent make other teams sit up and notice the mighty whites, show them you mean business, go and get martin o Neill at any cost, I don't care people might say he has not done a good job at sunderland but are Sunderland ever going to be any better than where they are now no, you don't become a bad manager over night, he is quality and would lead us back to the promised land
Sunderland battered in H2, and played some great football. Get o Neil now!
30 Mar 2013 22:37:03
can some one please explain to me why we signed ryan hall if we are not going to play him could have bought george boyd instead
30 Mar 2013 22:33:12
Now some of you may have already heard this news.
But Martin O'Neil anyone?. umm, yes please!!
Stewbo LUFC
30 Mar 2013 22:20:36
Not a rumour, more a probe for opinion, Martin O'neil shown the door at Sunderland, maybe a future at ER?
I think he has always done well with a low budget, wherever he's been, could be the slightly off-square block to fit in GFHC's peculiarly shaped holes (and shallow pockets)?
30 Mar 2013 22:14:42
Ok seriously now, GET MARTIN O'NEIL IN!!
30 Mar 2013 22:09:48
Get O Neil now. Yes he has been sacked but who the hell is better than him who is available. Get him, spend a few quid, use the youth who just won the league and let's fly next year. MOT Valleyswhite.
30 Mar 2013 22:03:10
There's are guy right there boys, Martin oneil! Thought I'd try and be the 1st of no doubt many who clamber for managers newly out of a job ;-) But in reality idon't know if he would end up being another warnock, one last heart not in it type of guy but if he gets a team playing like he can he could b the key too 50/50 for me I think

I was also at the ipswich game today, again I stood with the ipswich paying £29. 00 per ticket, for the first half an hour it was probaly the best football we have played all season, except we could not score, hit the post from a corner, two shots cleared of the line then morrison missing a sitter, lees got sent off ipswichcame back into the game had there first shot after 30mins, our players tierd in the second half, still had the best chances and lost 3. 0 I think warnock got the team playing well, if lees did not get sent of we would have won easily
30 Mar 2013 21:40:21
should not of slated the lad like that in public thought he was better than that, wheels are now off time to change, mcdermott for me
30 Mar 2013 21:32:03
Martin O Neil sacked tonight - could be one for us?
Oh yes please!
30 Mar 2013 20:17:18
Warnock on Lees " Weve got one lad who's let everyone Down, he's let me down, the team down, and all the fans who travelled here" Even the Red nosed one who we hate sticks up for his players, these are disgraceful comments putting the whole defeat down to the young lad is unnaceptable
It's no one else's fault but Warnocks, fact!
What's wrong with keeping it in the dressing room? Say what you want to say behind closed doors but in public your players are your players. Now what's so difficult about that?
30 Mar 2013 20:07:00
An open letter to NW;
I was at the game, at Portman Road today, I sat in the Bobby Robson Stand, with the Ipswich supporters! and I paid £36. 00 a ticket.
For the first fifteen to twenty minutes we were all over Ipswich; Loach (Ipswich goalkeeper) couldn't hold a hot potato but, neither could Morison or Varney hit a barn door fom Six yards; we should have been 4 - 0 up in the first twenty minutes; point in case Morison only has to tap the ball in from six yards and instead cannoned it over for what would have been three points in rugby; my twelve week old grandson could have scored from there.
OK so Lees got sent off! but, the game should have been well out of Ipswich's reach by then
Lees was a bit petulant but will he be banished like Poleon? NO
It's no good Lees looking for revenge for a first half clash of heads with TABB get over it and get on with the game
With the exception of Sam Byram and Stephen Warnock the rest of the team need to be transfer listed NOW and you should RESIGN
I feel robbed and cheated; under the trade descriptions act NW can I have
my money back
If you went to the game think your find you had a few half chances yes first 20 mins you had a hold but with crap players your never get anything get over it better team won the game is 90 not 20 go back to dreaming of your takeover that was never going to happen
Just pissed myself laughing!
The best team didn't win; we just threw the game away due to poor managerial leadership, poor attacking options, players past their prime, a petulant player who needs a bit of guidance and support from his boss and some knob in yellow who didn't know his arse a from his elbow
The game is about goals you score more you win simple you keep going on about what you missed try spending all that millions you got o sorry you ain't if you can't score from 6yrds then give up and go back to league 1 where you belong
30 Mar 2013 19:58:10
I would like to see Dawson play cause he looked really good when I see him he is playmaker
30 Mar 2013 19:25:40
Well mr "sheffield" you have done enough damage to our club now, so do us all a favour and go now. we should have seen it coming today. he drops norris to the bench and brings back brown? essex leeds
Norris did start today!
I've never been one to slag off the manager but I agree with this post, Warnock is stale with old fashioned idea's, other managers seem to have worked out his team before they step out onto the pitch, it is time to go and if there isn't a good enough manager available then put backroom staff in charge on a temporary basis.
30 Mar 2013 19:15:54
just got in from game and I dnt want to listen to warnocks excuses anymore and as usual teams around us lost or drew so he will say we are no worse off than we were and got everything to play for!! please dnt just say bye bye now and bring in mcdermott or di canio now!! mot nickybee

Just heard that GFH are Fuxxixg clueless - how the hell is keeping Warnock in post any good - I suppose eventually even a bloody person will see how sh1t our squad is and they will act - but letting Warnock have any input in the future choice of replacement would be like saying he knows what he is doing - for f sake sack him now or pay him off - relegation under him is not impossible this year - take note!,,,,
I'm sorry to hear you are blind Faith but I must say I agree with your post totally. JD
30 Mar 2013 18:33:41
Its now time for Warnock to go, full stop!
We aren't going to get a play off pot, we need to get a grounding for next season.
Lets pull all of our youngsters in and give then the chance that Warnocks cronies can't deliver.
Normally I'd agree but if we lose 5 we could be relegated. JD
As I've said before I'll go and get Dominic Poleon myself.
Agree with op totally as I said in previous post earlier kids would give their all to the shirt and maybe just maybe we would get a better game an some honest results

30 Mar 2013 18:26:33
It started out looking like one of the most promising seasons for some time - how wrong can you be - Warnock, GFH, Bates all seem clueless - we have definately gone backwards since Warnock joined.
I can't wait for the season to be over as am sick of the constant stream of bull that now seems to be associated with the club.
30 Mar 2013 18:16:22
I wish some people would just calm down, ok we are 7 pts off relegation but look at the position in the league, all them teams below us won't pick up 8 pts they'll be lucky to pick up 8 pts between them, so drop the drama queen act. ok it's been a bad season but there is no way we will be relegated so stop been stupid.
Had to check the date, thought it was April 1st already when I read this one, This team is well capable of relegation as form is dictating at present, you've made a brave post, but if we lose the next 3 or 4 we could be in the mix.
Peterborough won 3pts sheff we'd won 3pts Blackburn drew 1 point Ipswich won as we know 3 pts. U do the math and that's just this weekend, we need to get real if we don't win another game from now till end if season we will/could be in serious trouble.
OP; I take it you were at today's game?
The whole team apart from Byram and Stephen Warnock, s***
30 Mar 2013 18:12:19
I'm can't see where our next point will come from, look at the team's we have left to play. They will all have more fight in them than we have, under Colin. Get rid of him now, and give it to Naylor till the end of season, he would get some fight into the team.
30 Mar 2013 19:47:52
We were playing Ipswich off the park today until lees got sent off and even then we still had the chances to score loads.
But we did'nt, as we have failed to score loads in previous game's, that we should have won. Plenty of shoots but still no goals, it is all to familar time for change!
To the poster that disagrees; I take it that you were at the game today?
If you were you would know that we were S***
30 Mar 2013 17:57:39
Warnock has just slaughtered Tom Lees in his post match interview, it was well over the top, if that's his way of dealing with our young talent by slating them over the radio then good riddance, can't take an ounce of blame himself, he's blamed refs, players, GET HIM OUT NOW and take some of HIS signings with him.
30 Mar 2013 18:39:01
That man is so god damn arrogant it's untrue! he does not deserve to manage this club a minute longer! he is just completely oblivious to the real world.
Totally agree, take the rubbish signings with him. still can't understand why we accepted morisson in part ex 4 becchio. it seems to me morisson is not becchios replacement but barn door billy s the bloke is garbage. 2.8 million for him effing joke we could have picked up 3 decent players 4 that 4 eg boyd would have cost half a million burke about the same leaving 2 million for a decent striker.
30 Mar 2013 19:50:43
Boyd is up at 3 million. Morison will come good is all round play is good just needs some luck.
I agree you can not do that to lees cause he made one bad foul all season long when he has been brilliant and white needs to get playing time cause has been brilliant over the last couple of games and Austin
He'll which games have you been watching. Austin is hopeless. JD
30 Mar 2013 17:53:11
relegation is more likely than the playoffs, new manager asap to sort out what very few players are good enough to play for leeds
30 Mar 2013 17:42:53
Warnock just leave your not wanted.
I wonder do the fans who have been constantly backed him this year with the usual lines of "we're only so many points from the playoffs and it's still mathematically possible to make the playoffs", what's their opinions now on us being 7 points of the relegation places meaning it's mathematically possible for us to go down.
Surely the rose tinted glasses have to be taken off now there's not one possible argument to defend this man.
In every single way he has brought us backwards.
I defy anybody to logically argue that Warnocks latest comments "The foundations are laid now and the club will benefit from the hard work that has gone in over the past 13 months or so" are true.
It's not mathamatically possible anymore as we needed to win all games before today to get to 76 points at the end which could have just about get us in to the playoffs, now we can only get up to 73 if we win all games which would see us 2 points off like we were under grayson. So it's guaranteed that there will be no change under warnock
30 Mar 2013 19:53:34
6th place will probably end up with 72 points this season but I don't think we will even get to 63
Proving Grayson was a better manager!
30 Mar 2013 17:41:09
LET ME START BY SAYING I DON'T NORMALLY SLATE THE TEAM OR NEIL BUT. what the effin hells going on 1st half we had 19 attempts on goal they had 4 till goal! Our strikers are effin worse than Emile heskey they make his strike rate look fantastic. if the 1st team players have given up. dump them put kids who've just singed up and won under 18 league (congrats on that lads) at least they'd fight tooth and nail during games not just go thru motions! Sick of this mediocre crap week in week out and even when we win the footballs painful to digest and ye ( I don't get to all matches now adays due to family reasons can't even get my 7 year old to come nowadays he would rather go rhinos )but that don't make me a lesser fan been following white since 1972. wish all the current lot ie Neil gfh and our loving shirt kissing journey men would now do 1 and make way for somebody who would die for privilege to wear our shirt if they put a decent shift in and lost I'd rather see that than half hearted crap that's dished out to us this season. say what you will guys that's my opinion 100% effort in my book beats 30% skill/ wool pulling garbage we've been dished up of late

30 Mar 2013 19:56:56
I think the performance dropped as we had a man less for about an hour and Warnock didn't alter the team effectively. We would of won that game with 11 men
30 Mar 2013 17:33:20
What are the odds for either Lambert or O'Neil?surely one will be available in the summer and is be happy with either.
One il goes flat after January once his expensive flops are found out so 1) not enough money for him to spend here 2) no thanks bit of a fossil like Neil has no 2 nd plan ask villa and Sunderland lads.
30 Mar 2013 19:59:41
O'neil is a great manager . The only reason he left villa was they sold Milner for 30 million and wouldn't give him any money to replace him
30 Mar 2013 17:27:37
The only reason Warnock's still here is because he said he'd leave at the end of the season. Had he not said that all year then he'd have sacked by now surely? This has been a brutal season for managers everywhere (moreso than most seasons) and yet this senile fool is still in a job? This has to be the only reason.
Some persons were saying keep warnock for next season only a few weeks ago?
Warnock only has a contract until the end of the season, full stop. Not his choice? Weren't you watching when he got employed?
Hopefully he will be gone by the next game, whatver!
Hes stated, if GFH want to bring in a new manager now he's prepared to walk, all chance of promotion is long gone, surely now would be a good time for a new man, make us safe and plan for next season, what good will NW stopping till the end of the season do, if, as appears GFH are being guided by him, its God help us, FFS GFH, get your finger out.
Warnock doesn't have a choice about leaving, he was only employed till the end of this seaso anyway.
The sooner he is gone, now, the better!
OP here. I meant that it has been common knowledge that he is only going to be here for this season (with a few rumbling some time ago about a contract extension) so yes I was paying attention, funnily enough, to the team I f***ing support when he was appointed! I meant that this common knowledge has made it not worth the effort to sack and replace him. otherwise he would have gone by now. if anybody else has trouble reaing very simple messages then please let me know and I will try to translate it into person language for you.
He would lose 2 months wages that's why he hasn't walked!
He plays brown instead of Dawson, a player he describes himself as the next giles! He has no motivation unless it's his own, he is blind and ignorant and stupid. He should not be Leeds manager now or 2 weeks ago. We are wasting very precious time.
30 Mar 2013 17:21:57
Warnock, please just go. It almost seems as though he wants to destroy our club. Get rid before it's too late. 7 points off relegation and in terrible form. It really is looking glum.
To be fair I think that is harsh!I agree its time for a change, but that he wants to destroy us?i have to disagree.
Here we go with the pathetic conspiracy theories, FFS give it a rest, the guy may not be up to the job but to come out with crap like that beggars belief.
30 Mar 2013 17:10:16
who would you say is to blame for Leeds poor run of results the players or manager or both? I would say it is down to the manager as it is him who picks the team and the tactics.
Both to be honest and the lack of investment, and the odd bit of bad luck.
30 Mar 2013 17:09:41
Can't wait for the season to end, new manager has some dross to get shot of before we see things improve. On a much brighter note, well done the u18s, hopefully some will start playin for the 1st team soon
30 Mar 2013 16:59:58
Apparently we had chances and played well, but the scoreline speaks for itself, Eddie Gray just said that we were beaten by a very average side, I would rather see the season out managerless than listen to Warnocks excuses Week in and out, it's been a very disappointing season that Ipswich have finally put to bed for us. Roll on August.
I agree, put Naylor in charge for the rest of the season. May put some of the youth in, give them a chance.
I don't care who is in charge as long as warnock has gone.
30 Mar 2013 16:59:50
So at half time on tv sport they said Ipswich were winning and the 3 points would help them in the battle against relegation. Well looking at Leeds we are know 3 points above them and 7 points above the relegation zone, so now in the space of a week we find our beloved team no longer playing for a top six finish but now avoiding the relegation battle.
What a torrid time it is been a Leeds United fan and there never seems to be anything to get your hopes up no more.
Absolute disgusting season, shocking football, utter garbage! Manager and players should hang their heads in shame. What a waste of a season, and all should apologise to the fans who have had to put up with this

30 Mar 2013 16:36:00
Warnock left portman road, and thumbing a lift to cornwall. Any takers? Stay where you are Neil, we'll send a taxi for you so you get home ASAP. Stay away from Leeds and don't come back!
30 Mar 2013 16:35:36
WHAT is going on? I cannot believe the scoreline AND Tom Lees sent off.
30 Mar 2013 16:35:23
Why Warnock played Brown today I have no idea? I assume because of two games in quick succession and ipswich the easier team.
But why didn't warnock pull brown off and put on dawson?
Listening on LUTV today and it was hard to listen. Brown was rubbish.
Warnock has been consistantly poor at making substitutions all season.
30 Mar 2013 16:33:28
3-0 down. come on neil. go now and give the new fella a chance to get rid of some deadwood. you gave it your best shot

Just a shout, what about Terry Butcher? JD
30 Mar 2013 16:24:06
Muppet Morison misses yet another sitter (now 4). Where does Warnock find these losers?
Totally agree morison is worse than barn door billy. I've seen some rubbish strikers at the club but morison has got to be the worse. its got so bad I would rather have kandol, enoch, barn door or even rickets back.
30 Mar 2013 16:23:09
Muppet Morison misses another sitter (3 now).
30 Mar 2013 16:19:59
Further to my last post. Muppet Morison misses another sitter (He is almost as bad as McCormack)- Muppets United concede another goal. Worst Leeds team I have seen in fifty years. Warnock should walk. Said when was appointed it would end in tears.
30 Mar 2013 16:19:24
2- 0 down and 10 men. Warnock needs to go now to give a new manager 7 games to realise how s*** we really are. JD

Enough is enough FFS Warnock walk now. If we can't afford a new manager give Redfern a go till the end of the season

New manager now!!!!!!!!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!now!!!!!!!!!!!!
30 Mar 2013 16:03:08
Well on top - can't score. Lees off - Morison misses sitter. Ipswich should have a penalty. Then a very poor Ipswich team score. Byron now playing at centre half. What a set of Muppets. Season ticket holder wondering whether to waste my time driving another 200 miles to watch Warnock's clowns.
30 Mar 2013 15:53:04
Lees sent off, losing 1-0, can't take much more, just want this season to end.
30 Mar 2013 15:47:09
So how many chances do u need to score 1 goal. Approx 15 apparently. 10 men now. F. Hate this season
30 Mar 2013 15:38:21
Why do people rate Naylor so much as a coach? Heard a few fans say he should be given a chance and even possibly as a manager.
Because he just won the league title with his academy.
30 Mar 2013 15:02:28
I have to back the post that said he would like to see Lee Clark at Leeds, look where brum are above us, and he has had his hands tied, he is doing a better job than Warnock is doing at leeds.
Easter bunny could do beter job and they spend 80% of their woken life shafting
Oh. there's no diference warnock shafts us instead
30 Mar 2013 10:47:19
We could do a lot worse than appoint Uwe Rosler as the new manager for beginning of 2013-2014 season with Gunnar Halle as his assistant.
Rosler managed Molde at the end of 2010 for the last 8 games of the season, with Halle as his assistant.
They won 6 & drew the other 2 games.
Rosler is currently doing an impressive job for Brentford in League 1 and has made no secret of the fact that he wants to get back to the premiership.
I can't work out if this is a joke or not?
30 Mar 2013 09:00:04
3 wins out of the next 3 games could see us move into 6th but I actually think if we win all 3 we will find ourselves 1 point behind 6th
There's no chance of us winning 3 on the bounce, I'd love to see it, but we've been average all season and our away form is poor.
30 Mar 2013 16:03:50
out of the 63 games colin has been in charge 25wins dream on. need to plan for next season now. get shut of colin now

Brian McDermett has said today that he would "jump" at the chance to manage Leeds according to the YEP. How do others feel about this? In my view he would be a good manager at Championship level, he got Reading to the Playoffs then won the league the year after with 16 wins in 19 games. He's still young in manager terms and hungry, we could do a lot worse.
30 Mar 2013 04:38:34
Players signing, investors coming, manager leaving-next year has to be better. Poster down a few is right. Keep a few of the first team, blood a few youngsters, buy a few and new manager will make next year a prem year. can't be worse than this year. Jigsaw is coming together. Just a shame we have to suffer the rest of this season.
