Our next manager? For me it can be only one. The only Leeds captin since Radebe who gave everything. His hair is red and fuzzy and he'd kick them black and blue for the sake off Leeds he would brake himself in 2, He knows this league better than most, as he has played in it most off his career Mr Richard Naylor. By the way did you see it when we played and Neville was pushing his birds nest out (Naylors face priceless )

Leave naylor with the U18s he is doing a great job with them maybe in a couple of years time he might get on the shortlist for the managers job.

I am an occassional poster, but seeing this young 15 year old lad, has made me want to write this essay.

I am 18 years old from Brighton I make the round trip when I can, I remmeber when I was younger watching the likes of viduka, smith, martyn, radebe, harte, kelly running their arses off wearing the lily white colours, showing huge amounts of passion, and looking like they loved every minute of it.

We fell on hard times I was maybe too young to understand but when you grow up with this difficulty and not during the golden era it is easier for us youngsters to not recognise the full potential of this club, but I know I would give an arm and a leg to any person just to help fill that ground back up to 40,000 week in week out, we would be intimidating, but most of all how can the owners invest in the club, if we aren't helping with the gate receipts!

Now, I know you all think oh he is young he has no idea, but I do, I went on a stadium tour this year on the same day we beat crystal palace, first time I had been on the tour, I have to say walking out that tunnel sent shivers down my spine, if those players out there wering our great colours do not feel the same way, then I say release them, bring in chris dawson, bring in monty gimpel, bring in poleon lenighan and parkin, and let's see the new golden era arrive on the surface and let's all march on together!

COME ON YOU LEEDS!

TOM.

the downside of watching the great leeds sides was also losing occasionally in devastating style! sunderland! I was there crying my eyes out bayern cup final! ouch that still hurts! colchester! but you know what? i'd do it all again ahh heaven! nickybee

Hi everyone I am a 15 year old boy who can't get to games but I subscribe to LUTV and I know you will all blame
the kid but I am going to say it.
Do you think Billy Bremner Gary Speed and Don Revie and many more cause I maybe was not around but what I heard was that the players were amazing the club amazing and the fans so what happen to the team I try and get to game and that all I dream of doing is going to the games and seeing 40,000
Again think about it

I will march on will you? {Ed016's Note - That's the spirit young man! But a lot of fans would say that dire lack of investment in recent years under chairman Ken bates, soon to be former chairman, has alienated alot of fans. This has been difficult for some of us older fans - speak for myself! who were used to Premier league and Europe in the nineties and 00's) But MOT.

The world went bad after the Millennium. 2003-04 the worst season of my life. My club was relegated and
S Club 7 disbanded. If only this was the 90's or very early 2000's again. what I'd give for Nigel Martyn; a defence of Harte Radebe Matteo Kelly; a midfield quartet of Bowyer Dacourt Batty Bakke and strike force of Smith and Viduka. Even Jason Wilcox would be a supreme player in our team now.
Oh and S Club 7 to reform! : )

Can someone fix it please.

I am the 15 year old lad and I go by the name bluewolf

And believe it or not I hope to play for leeds united some day {Ed013's Note - Lets hope you have an apprenticeship already as this is the age you need to be looking at getting into the U18 squad}

Hi ed I hope to get apprenticeship but I have an eye problem and if any fans want to see me then come down to the lecister training dome for our inclusive tourment I play in light blue {Ed013's Note - Not Like George Boyd, as long as you can see the ball you will be fine}

I thought Wilcox was underated. He aslos played well at left back.

i havnt got a problem with habibou but what I dnt understand is why let nunez go and bring this guy in surly nunez had more to offer? nickybee {Ed013's Note - Nunez was injured, probably wanted to go home and in my opinion he was too lightweight. Habibou was brought on in the wrong game and although looked out of his dept, can't be judged on the little time he had on the pitch}

Think some team in america has signed nunez ed {Ed016's Note - He's a free agent now anyway I believe, but good luck to him though, he didn't really a get a real chance with us)

I really hope Habibou gets a good run out on Saturday and plays out of this world, and to top it all off gets a winner. .

Just so all you negative miserable boring Habibou haters who have evaluated him in 15-20 mins of scrappy footballing time suck on it and put a sock in it!

Go on Habibou lad show these Leeds "fans" what you're about and make them support you instead of just looking for someone to point the finger at to blame!

See you at Wolves Leeds fans, can't wait for it!

PickersLUFC

Plymouth Whites!

Habibou is 25 and from Belgian Div 2. He is not worthy of a Leeds shirt.

Certainly shouldn't come before Somma on the bench if last week is anything to go by!

Not sure why everyone thinks somma is a world beater. He's an average league 1 player from what I've see. From my seat in the kop. Habib had 15 mins and is not getting stick. Laughable

Whoever said habibou is not worthy of the shirt, what a k**b, where did becchio come from, or snodgrass, or even the greats like jordan and mcqueen

Yes I am here again, Lust said on the radio this morning let's all start thinking positive and move forward together, well said that man, at last some positive attitudes from people who have talked ridiculous before before and during the takeover. I must admit we here at Leeds have got some real muppet's who post on this site, where do some of these people come from, if I thought negative like these people every day then I think I would jump off a M62 bridge on to a on coming crap wagon.
Come on you twits stop all these stupid comments and post good intelligent things like I do. Now for the sensible questions? is it so important that we go up this year ANSWER no, is it great to see new players signing contracts again ANSWER yes, are we moving forward and improving on the pitch ANSWER yes, is this squad coming together and is the bench starting to look strong ANSWER yes, are we now signing and paying a transfer fee for players ANSWER yes. Seriously though I am really excited at the prospect of how things are moving forward, NW and the new owners I believe have planned promotion for next year and if it happens this year its a bonus. let's not all forget that from August to 21st December NW had his hands tied and he kept saying with the squad he had we were not at that time able to contest for promotion, he was right of course he was, this guy has been there before he knows what is needed. Ask NW now in February if we have had this squad back in August what the promotion chances would have been. All you sensible people know the answer. Keep positive the football we have played in the last few games is as good for many months, we have got some good ball players who move, yes move, I posted a few weeks ago that Cardiff are very average team and I was proven right, Cardiff could not live with our passing and movement, it is just a mystery why we can not beat them, we were seriously hard done by. I now await the mob who jump into crap wagons to reply. Kevin Leeds 50 years

I agree with some of your comments, but you let yourself down on the last few lines. Cardiff could not live with our passing movement? Were you there? The football is poor. If we win I can put up with the long ball and the fact players are out of position. If Warnock had played some of his current squad in the correct places or not at all in some of their cases, then we would be higher up the table. I ain't negative, just an avid follower of football and have played and watched all levels. What I'm watching from my seat every home game is like a Sunday morning kick and rush. Cardiff came to Elland Road parked the bus for a point and ended up stealing 3. We deserved a draw at best.

Best Post for a long long time here!

MOT German Leeds Fan!

Next time against Derby at Elland Road!

Shame on you leeds 50
Just happy to get away and watch a kickabout over the park are we?
Forgotten what is expected of pro footballers earning between 250 and 750k a year?
Isn't losing hilarious
Cardiff beat leeds at home. Along with many others this and every year. But that's ok. It's just nice to watch a kickabout eh?

It is important tthat we go up this year because we get more money this year than if we go up next year {Ed016's Note - TV Money is indeed going up sharply)

Rio Ferdinand is being forced out of United at the end of the season because he is getting to old. It is rumoured that he wants to return to Leeds to see out his career. What a signing he would be!thoughts?

I think he will go to Chelsea

Rio Ferdinand left UNITED years ago. Get a grip lad!

I agree with the original poster would be a good signing but how can Leeds fans refer to that lot as UNITED. There is only one United, Leeds!

did you watch england last night?. weell england of old and usual remind me of leeds now. pedestrian midfield, no pace, boring.
but roy woke up and played a pacy team. wiltshire runs forward all the time, johnson, rooney, walcott, welbeck.
england looked a diff team and actually decent to watch for once. and won. ok its a friendly.
but neil you know what we need, why didn't you get it?
i nkow you tried with burke but you would have got the 250k you wouldn't pay 1000 fold if it made the diff.
if we don't get at least 4 points from next 2 games then we must concentrate on next season. shrew leeds

Absolute agree with your comparison, you hit it spot on. How refreshing was it to see England play like that and how refreshing would it be lot see Leeds play like that (albeit at a much lower level of skill). Nowadays I feel excited if we make a 4 or 5 pass move on the odd occasion during the game. Once a Leeds fan always a Leeds fan which is a good job because if it was not in the blood the 19,000 would be 9,000 nowadays.

On saturday watching the game it seemed we gave more respect toncardifvthan we did to spurs against spurs varneynand McCormack attacked as a pair but against Cardiff varney, didn't appear to play along side mac Just a thought but we seem to play better when we attack in numbersb it was almost like we expected them to, score and hoped we'd hit them on the counter like we were playing away from home
