The highest paid player at LUFC currently is 12k and that was straight from Shaun Harvey at an "on the road event" he also stated that Howson's agent asked for 25k to stay, hence us selling him in January for some cash before he left in the summer. ADW

Becchio and Brown are both on more than that according to people at the club.

I don't think this so called fact is true, as you will find 2 of our players on £15,000 a week although they should be on £3.00

If FIFA is anything to go by, I started a manager mode with swansea and signed snodgrass on a 15k per week contract ;)

I read somewere brown and i think bromby were on 15k......if thats true about howson than good ridance.

Guys, beccio, brown, aob £12,000 aweek give or take . ross, andrew lonergan, pugh, connolly and alex bruce £8,000 aweek give or take.
most players signed from lower Leagues are on lower wage, players signed when in League one like paddy, bromby ect are on low wage. Robert Snodgrass believe it or not is only on £4-5,000 a week, billy painter £3000. Johnson and neil k where on the same as snodgrass they wanted the same as becchio but where offered £7000, twice the wage they had, johnny howson was on the same too. He didnt leave for the money as southampton and newcastle both wanted him but newcastle wanted to waited till the end of the season.

He had the choice between Norwich, Southampton and Newcastle, but he chose Norwich? That's just bizarre!

He chose norwich over newcastle? thats like saying would you like a ferrari, no im alright i will take this fiat?

Beckford had the change to go to newcastle when leaving leeds, also there was an interview with howson last week, with the reason why he chose norwich. plus johnson is there too and he said he loves fishing and not into partying. The post three above sounds about right.

PAPERING OVER THE CRACKS BY A PAYNTER AND A DECORATOR!

Great result, great fun at times but don!t be fooled. For most of the first half Leeds were dire. New boy Taylor was ripped to pieces at left back, no surprise that he was replaced with Robinson later on. Posh's goal was the result of the usual carp defending that we have witnessed time and time again this season.
Our equaliser was the result of an equally laughable piece of Posh defending but give Barn Door his due, he was on hand to score.
We started the second half well and quickly got goals and dominated much of the game from then on. But before we herald the new era lets not get carried away. Peterborough made us look good. To be frank, there were atrocious and were there for the taking.
However, a confidence booster for the PAYNTER aided and abetted by his more consistent DECORATOR partner in 19 goals Super Mac!

I wouldn't go so far as to say they were dire in the first half.

Taylor could certainly have done better, but he is only 18, and this will have been a good experience for him. He does appear to have a bit of pace and a good cross on him, which offers potential for him in a couple of years time.

Rogers looked good until his injury, but Webber was pretty disappointing. His attempt to dribble in our own penalty area was tactless to say the least.

Paynter definitely put a good shift in, but he is slow and has an awful first touch. I would keep him as backup though.

Why do you have to be so negative about the team. We won and we will continue to do so providing nw plays the right squad and drafts some players in. Also your attempt at tryin to sound inteligent made you sound like an person so why bot just put your opinion accross like a normal person. You clearly are not a news reporter, just get behind the team.

So you have a sense of humour..... brilliant! i can only imagine how many leeds fans agree with your total negativity towards the team and inteligent joke about the " paynter and docorator " your not a propper supporter, your a part time comedian, full time complainer, and only excel at the latter... stick to what you know, its clearly not our beloved lufc... paynter took his chance, lets congratulate him.

I cant help thinking that there is goals in this lad, but how long do you give a guy, I suppose till his contract runs out to be fair.keep him,hes a big lad who cant be on massive money, and if he doesent produce when given the chance next season then i believe he will and should move along with no hard feelings.

The first poster is just about right. This was an end of season game with neither team having much to play for. Borough were not bad going forward in the first half but they were probably the worst I have seen this year defensively- even by our standards. I have been a season ticket holders for many years. Supporting doesn't mean you cant be a realist and just look through rose tinted glasses. We need a clear out as most of the players are not good enough to get us promotion or have potential to be good but have an attitude problem. Hence the inconsistency. Warnock has a big job on his hands. I hope he is up to it.

I wonder what the scoreline would have been if rogers didnt pick up an early injury and get replaced by webber as im pretty sure that rogers would have put away atleast two of those chances that webber messed up but hope that was just a blip and he hasnt lost his confidence.

One good game doesn't turn the lad into a superstar but gave the guy credit. This is the first time I can remember where he has started alongside a decent striker. He was winning headers against strong centre-backs and held the ball up well- something that has been missing all season. Give him the remainder of the season and see how he does alongside Ross; he might not be the answer but give him chance. Now he has a couple of goals and the pressure is off him he may show why Grayson signed him in the first place.

NW can work wonders if he gets Barn Door to double his career tally for Leeds in half an hour!!
