Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

06 Jun 2012 22:00:30
Is it me or has it all gone really quiet
Nothings happening, no investment or takeover talk, no sign AT ALL of any players coming in or even LEAVING.
Apart from Ben Parker.
We normally hear something, but his is getting really disconserting. You have clubs like Palace & Posh, signing players left, right & centre, and you've got us, doing f*** all!!!!

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Chill out mate all will start moving again when Warnock is back from his hols, investment, takeover and transfers and of course new away shirt so just hold in just a few more days

The jyg

Agree2 Disagree1

And Parker hasn't gone yet just rumours, stop worrying, best things come to those who wait, and if we don't buy anyone we always have the youth team lol

Agree2 Disagree1

Ben parkers contract was terminated by mutual consent weeks ago along with mika vayrynen

Ed, when do you think we can realistically expect to hear something about the takeover? as I don't think Warnock will want it dragging on for too long {Ed013's Note - My opinion is early next week once he has all the up to date details after his hols}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Let's hope next week things start to happen at ER as in takeover/investment news.

REMEMBER THIS: When buying a car we need to see the registration document before we hand pver the dosh. We have a situation at
Elland Rd where potentially someone is going to invest several Mil. They would want to see confirmation of ownership, registration documents and have confidence and security in the money not going to some obscure offshore company and getting swallowed up. KB has a woven a web of deceit and potential avoidance to hide his business. Any investor will want time to see all of this or they will simply walk if it looks too
secretive. It scares me thinking about lending KB a few hundred quid let alone a few mil.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Well said mate a lot of sense there. The only thing I'm hoping for is that when they came over to look round ER and TA they had already looked at the viability and checked various ownership issues. Bates has always said he wouldn't talk to anyone unless he had seen the colour of their money therefore the cash should be available immediately. Like you say it's the web that needs unravelling and what and how much KB wants out of the deal.

Niel Warnock had to go on holiday just as the investment talks started to catch in the news. We need him back just for him to tell us Wat the hell is going off in captain birdseyes world and at ellend road. We need to know. Come back niel quick!! MOT!!!

is it me or is it the same person posting things about negative action on the take over always saying its fallen through, yet it keeps getting put on here, does my bloody head in! surely the (ED'S) can stop it Harry MOT {Ed013's Note - If only you knew the half of it! We have so many posts and I would say half, if more send in negatives!}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It shows just how much the fans trust the leeds united board these days .it is time for a change and quick .

Agree5 Disagree0

I'm usually quite optomistic but even I won't be celebrating the takeover/investment (what ever it turns out to be) until the contract has been signed and there is a press conference to announce it.

It is well known how much the current board can stuff things up especially with KB there and his ego, if fact it wouldn't surprise me in anyway if at the press conference KB says he's changed his mind and cancels the deal :)

Hope it does go through, as the poster above says we need a change at the top

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jun 2012 13:58:45
Investment or not, NW will have money to spend. Soon as he got here he said that we needed new players so he would of walked by now. I really hope KB sells up to some mega rich invester but either way the quality of our football cant be much worse than last season. Jason Pearce on his own improves us by about 25%. I am looking forward to the lees pearce partnership. New striker and two new mids we will be set. MOT. VINNY.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

But the sale of clayton , mccormack probably snodgrass and with white more than likely to move on we are now worse than we ever have been in the whole of the history of leeds united . pearce doesn't make up for all these players . if we dont get taken over there will be only half of the money from the sales of these players re invested into the team in the summer and the rest will be kept in case we need it in January .

Agree2 Disagree0

We probably lost better players in the last pre-season (Johnson, Kilkenny) than we will this year. The problem is that we didn't replace those 2 last year(hence the dismal season) and so to lose another 2 or 3 decent players becomes a massive problem in that we are now looking for 4or5 good players to improve the team without the funds to do it with.

Agree1 Disagree0

If we lose the 11 freed or transfer listed plus those who haven't signed their new contract offer we will need about 15. How long will that take to gel?

Agree1 Disagree0

The under-19's don't need time to gel.

I hope these posts that the take over has fallen through because of Bates demands are not true. If they are Bates has had it as far as I am concerned, no investment and bleeding the club dry since his dodgy 1 pound takeover how much more life does he want to squeeze out of our club? All leeds fans should boycott spending any of their money on club until he goes. Super Leeds without bates NOW!

I get the feeling more and more this is a Bates smoke screen to increase season tickets sales ..

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Yea everyone is rushing to buy tickets are'nt they. NOT. Do you think fans are thick or something.

Agree2 Disagree0

Well Bates are called us mindless and ignorant in the past so why not try this ploy to make us thickos buy season tickets ...

Agree2 Disagree1

Watt a silly post,It's like saying I have a feeling I'm gona win the lottery,and then spending all my life savings.No way is it a smoke screen.with Ticket sales down bates has realised the pot is running dry.The worst think bates did,(the best for us) was appoint Warnock a man with balls.He will tell all if he lies and cuts him short.Where will bates be then? Mass protests boycotts riots even.something has to give and accepting watts been going on for a while now,best players sold no money spent on team,and we just keep paying our money.no way them days are over,the person fight back is on bates out!!

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jun 2012 12:07:32
warnock back off holiday on friday think we will def hear something on monday afternoon at the latest regarding investment! and from then probably a few good signings on there way to ER def kenny but would prefer robbo back!! MOT

Believable9 Unbelievable0

As a rangers fan I hope you get robbo not paddy. Good luck next season. No doubt Neil will get you up. Legend

Niel had to go on holiday at the time the takeover started to flair

investment! dont make me laugh. this is a classic smokescreen, 2 month of rumour, no quality signings,better players leave then club blame uncertainty. and we return to league one

Believable5 Unbelievable6

I concure with your way of thinking. We need a date drawn in blood of when this Deal will be concluded or not...If it is a deal at all. I suspect KB will say 30th June!!!

Boring boring boring go wum on another site please.

I know they say "no news is good news" but I really hope that either the club or Neil Warnock make a statement sometime this week. Us Leeds fans have been through some bad times in the last 8 years and we finally deserve something good to happen. We need someone in charge of our club with as much passion as we (the fans) have for our club. We are a huge club (despite what most of our rivals fans say) we have a great history, great facilities, good youth policy and everything else that comes with a big football club. Not many teams outside the top division can say they have bigger attendences than half of the Premier League (even when we were in League 1) but we can!!

I'm sick to death of going on the official website and the only posts we get to read about are Flamingo Land deals, Ex Leeds players been linked with other clubs.. There has got to be something going off behind the scenes with either the take over saga, new players been looked at by NW or current situation with players we are waiting to sign new deals etc etc.

I have heard a rumour that our manager has returned from his vacation now so hopefully things will start to happen and he will bring in some players.

My worst fears are that the take over will all just be rumours and nothing in it all, we still don't have cash to spend on players and we will have left it too long where all the quality players which are now available on free transfers will have been snapped up by the clubs we will be fighting against this season... Sounds like just our luck - What ever the outcome I will always support our fantastic club while ever I have a hole in my a*se MOT

Sankey. I

Believable9 Unbelievable1

I know it's very very frustrating at the moment, we all are, dispite all the rumours nobody really knows the truth if it is just an investment or the take over were all hoping of, I really don't think an announcement will be made to late this week or into next at the earliest, we will have some sort of players we can target then, never know Warnock might still not get that much money and still have to find players on the cheap,hopefully he will get a cheque book with some money in the account, talks could always break down but let's hope not, just going to have to be very patient, we all wanting to know as soon as possible

Agree2 Disagree0

Whatever happens, Warnock is still on holiday, so don't expect anything to happen player wise until he returns...

Agree1 Disagree0

Original poster here again.

Does anyone know when Neil Warnock is back off vacation?? I thought he was back already as I watched an interview on Sky Sports News over the bank holiday where he was talking about Becchio and what he expects of him this season. I agree there won't be a great deal going off with our club manager not even in the country.

Sankey. I

Agree0 Disagree0

He's not back yet, old video, I presume he is back this weekend

Why do people enter such tosh. just stop wasting your own time, we are only 6th June, I am fed up of saying this but we are very early everyone is on holiday, wan rock isn't going anywhere, not sure about all this takeover talk (investment)but i think we are in good hands, bates will give warnock money. warnock is not the type of person to take his crap, and ward not signing i personally think warnock didn't want him enough.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

People will be saying its only the 26th of july if they dont take there heads out of there arses . we will sign the pants players that are left over at the last minute .we are going to become the worst team in our league if something doesnt happen soon. you don't sell the best players first or you end up with crap all the way through the squad instead of quality . i hope im wrong and we start to bring players in of good quality but cant see it without a good takeover.i will give the benefit of the doubt to bates and his merry band until the beginning of the season . i predict more Bates out marching .

Agree1 Disagree5

So many idiots posting, either not leeds fans or just out of nappies, WAIT, and stop whinging

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2012 09:21:50
Think the take over is a hoax started probably by bates! While the so called take over is been negotiated you can't make signings or lose plays!? This will allow us to keep the few good players we have left and also provide an excuse not to spend anymore money to fans, players and manager! Take over talks will conveniently breakdown just before the season starts! Hope i'm hugely incorrect but something i can imagine bates doing!! :'(

Believable5 Unbelievable10

Rubbish.

Agree9 Disagree4

Rubbish is putting it mildly.

Agree6 Disagree2

If we keep our best players and just give warnock 4 mil to spend we will be sound and could probably go up . bates hasn't got a risk in him any more so no chance without an investor

Agree2 Disagree0

He'll never give any money the tight old git!!

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Jun 2012 08:41:35
i know this is a rumour site so we cant stop some of the rubbish on here.fact is,nobody really knows what is going on,who is investing or buying.what money it will or will not generate.one things for sure without either a major investment or a takeover leeds will not be where they belong for many years to come.no im not saying we need huge millions to get up and buy the championship.just enough to invest in decent players that warnock thinks will give us a great chance.if we cant afford ward then without money we are going to struggle whoever the manager is.the good news is that everyone at leeds is quiet.snodgrass is quiet,warnock is quiet.these people will know the truth.im optimistic we will be ok,keep snodgrass,get the likes of dj campbell and beckford and give it a damn good go.
you have to give bates a bit of credit,he came up with the money when we were in dire need,but he let himself down with constant promises of finances for the team that he clearly never had..shrew leeds

You know what Bates & Co are like - secrecy all the way, every transfer in and out has allways been for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of...' There will be nowt but drivel on the OS;,half price in Flamingo Land and Tom Lees excitement about this and that next year. But the exciting thing is, soon we will get an announcement and then things start rolling ! England, Euros, Takeover, Transfer Funds, Quality Purchases ! At last my patient friends, we've waited so long, we're very close to getting everything we want !
