QSI buying 20% with a view to a full takeover will know more at end of the transfer window when the announcement will be made more public.

13 Jan 2020 16:21:32
I hope so . because Leeds need way, way, way better than Radz tbe Chancer and incompetent Orta.

13 Jan 2020 16:53:53
The only, important, question is will they be paying 80mill or 120mill?

13 Jan 2020 17:21:59
Yea it’s awfull finishing 15th and 16th every season isn’t it bazooka with a tin pot manager and a bunch of overrated league one cast offs in front of 17,000 a week on a good day. You should be grateful for how he’s turned this club around.

13 Jan 2020 18:19:30
incompetent Orta :-/ ridiculous comment.

13 Jan 2020 18:24:28
Martyn you just don't get it do you. Radz first season he sold Chris Wood for £15 million and Charlie Taylor for £ 7 million . neither player has been replaced properly till now.

His cheap managerial appointments that season were TC and Heckingbottom, Leeds were garbage and finished below mid table under Radz

Radz and Orta bringing in Bielsa is only so good if you. provide him with enough good players

The past 4 transfer windows have been. appalling under Radz and Orta and to have currently just one, ( not prolific ) , striker in Bamford and a lousy keeper in Kiko is incompetence of the highest order and a complete waste of 2 golden opportunities to get promoted under Bielsa ( there won't be a third because Bielsa will be gone) .
Then the scenario you painted Martyn on your post will exist next season unless Radz sells up .

13 Jan 2020 18:42:56
Craigbr . yeah right having just one striker ( and a striker who can't score) Ortas signing Bamford in the squad . pure genius.

. signing useless goalies in Wieldwakd and Casilla etc etc

. last seasonsJan window of a car crash that resulted in forking up promotion. yes Orta is incompetent to put it mildly.

13 Jan 2020 18:58:27
We are near top of the league and financially stable.
That is the exact opposite of incompetent.
Could things be better, 100% they can, but far easily they could e worse as many clubs can prove!

13 Jan 2020 20:04:33
Fair comment Canada but ( yes there is a but )
1.Leeds were mediocre to garbage under Radz and Orta pre Bielsa
2.It is incompetent of Radz and Orta not to grasp the 2 seasons of promotion opportunities that Bielsa has provided by taking a conservative risk and providing more funds for better quality players
3.Having just ONE striker in your squad now for 3 matches and counting is 100% INCOMPETENT etc
4.Lets see how Radz and Orta get on next season without Bielsa

ORTA does not have a successful track record at any club

RADZ businesses elsewhere are floundering says it all about him

We need better

MOT.

13 Jan 2020 20:51:24
Yea his businesses are flaundering he’s down to his last 400 million, as for mediocre before bielsa then who do you think brought him in? He said 3 yrs ago it was a 5 yr plan not a 12 month plan.

13 Jan 2020 21:11:15
lets wait and see Martyn . personally I sincerely hope as a passionate Leeds United fan of decades that I am proved wrong and the remaining time under Radz and Orta is an unqualified success. but I doubt it strongly.

13 Jan 2020 21:24:17
Bazooka I’d be very grateful if you would stop over populating my favourite Leeds banter site with your ill informed nonsense . Thanks!

13 Jan 2020 21:27:06
Baz,
1) very fair comment albeit countered by the fact the got Bielsa here
2) failed 1 season. 2nd season still promising.
3) agreed. Can't understand edmondson not playing and recruitment needed. Still time, but worried.
4) won't happen when we go up!

Keep the faith guys.

13 Jan 2020 22:26:02
Canada good reply. it's difficult at times but yes let's keep the faith. we obviously all want your point 4 to happen this season # promotion

Sage and gracious RHC lol many thanks 😂😂 .

13 Jan 2020 23:38:48
Baz, the one striker we have has actually a better stike per game ratio in the league than your favourite striker I think (but I may be mistaken) . Keep the faith. Hopefully we can look back on the last few weeks a a blimp on a great season. MOT.

14 Jan 2020 01:36:19
Let's hope so Fredh MOT.

14 Jan 2020 09:17:20
Agreed currie, it’s getting an opinion shoved down our throats again. Here’s a good idea. Why font you buy the club viduka and run it with your money because your obviously a better business man than radz and know far more about football and business than him see it’s easy to spend someone else’s money. If after 5 yrs we are not we’re he said we would be then slag him until then try getting behind him. It could be worse it could be BATES.

14 Jan 2020 11:29:34
Viduka we didn’t sell Taylor as he ran his contract down, £7 million was the compensation due to him coming through the ranks and still bring under 23 ish.

14 Jan 2020 11:32:52
Lol Martyn you said this same nonsense suggestion to Chris the other day.

I also see you keep stating the same confused incorrect
nonsense that Roofe run his contract down and left on a free . and you had to be corrected again by Chris that Roofe still had o e year left and was sold for £6 million

Really not interested or bothered by your nonsense comments or RHC for that matter.

14 Jan 2020 12:16:19
Must be tough been the only one on here that’s right especially when all of us are wrong all the time.

14 Jan 2020 12:13:57
Ed please can you confirm if we sold Charlie Taylor or if he left after his contract ran down. If I’m wrong I’m wrong but something in back of my old mind says we kept him till it ran out and didn’t sell him.

{Ed002's Note - Taylor left on a free transfer.}

14 Jan 2020 14:04:50
Thank you ed002.

14 Jan 2020 20:07:35
Stick it up em Mart!

13 Jan 2020 10:44:08
so Ian Poveda is set to sign a perminat deal at leeds with medical imminant.

bit mixed about this he is an under 20 england player with city and Barcelona on his cv so he must be good

however belisa wants him to replace clarke. who didn't play. with FFP is this where we need to spend money?

why has he brought in a winger to replace a guy who wasnt on the bench when we need striker and a Cb

good player maybe but if we don't get the striker and CB it will really make me angry and I don't need that this time of year!

13 Jan 2020 12:21:34
don't really understand why Clarke didn't play it must have been to do with form or attitude. I still maintain that he was never the same after his 'illness' even when he was still our player.

I have a feeling that the loan back was actually one of Spurs requests as part of the transfer and not ours, meaning Bielsa didn't want him back in the first place and therefore didn't play him, which would make more sense to me.

13 Jan 2020 13:06:42
Attitude I believe, I heard bubba had regular chats with poch about Clarke’s attitude in training. Think it’s all gone to his head. He will be the next byram.

14 Jan 2020 17:35:12
a change of team might be what he needs Martyn but that will come to late to benefit us.

13 Jan 2020 09:55:38
Hope I'm wrong, but I've just chatted to my fish man, Soton season ticket holder, and Adam's ain't leaving unless they buy another striker, no rumours of that happening, like I said hope he is wrong
