GFH today injected a further 7 figure sum into the club (newsnow). Doesn't seem like a company that is unwilling to invest, or am I being a bit naive

A seven figure sum means a minimum of 1,000,000 you have to ask yourself why
Agree0

1p + 2p + 5p + 10p + 20p + 50p + £1.
That's a 7 figure sum and you haven't even had to break out the paper money yet.

£10. 000. 00, that's also a 7 figure sum, although I hope its in millions. but 20 days too late at least

You must ask yourself why the club is not in debt or so we are to lead to belive so what is the money for no sign of a new player coming in
Agree0

Even a million wouldn't have done much to improve the team.
. I have to wonder why they are having to 'invest' money in a team they already own, does this mean the cash flow IS as bad as has been suggested?

Exactly - all about cash flow and balancing the books.

It's not 20 days too late. Investing in the Jan window is pointles at the best of times. I'd rather have money to spend in the summer, when we know what we need it for, and who is managing the club.

No money for neil no money for anyone else. get rid of the pavilion and yorkshire radio. just left with the debt for KENS boxes.

Like some have said, it's good but all coming too late for this season, and a million (at a minimum) isn't a lot either especially if a million is all we have to spend in the summer.

GFH are looking for a younger manager to takeover on a long term project to build a young team, sounds like we building our own barcelona (hopefully). Well few names were thrown about last might mainly richard naylor, paul dickov, paolo di canio and gus poyet. Personally I would love richard naylor a sort of promotion from within or even dickov he used young players at oldham and had no money to play with. Just my opinion. What young manager/retiring player would you all like?

David Flitcroft. Dicov has an appalling record at Oldham

This could be a contreversial one but due to his knowledge of the game jamie carragher and he is someone who will instantly command respect

We're more Torremolinos than Barcelona, but I get your point.
Trouble is - as with most things in modern football - results are everything and improvement is expected from Day One. Don't get me wrong, I'm with you (I actually Believed) - it's just a sad indicamanet of today's money-driven game. No time given for Managers to work at teams, to build them like that friendly chap across the Pennines.

I actually asked for your choices on managers. And this was a conversation between me and several mates who are attending tonight. Last poster I know what your saying we need to give someone time warnock is too old to bide time with maybe richard naylor would be a better fit.
We need a certain way to play we have a brilliant young development squad and we need to build that and keep hold of anyone who performs to their highest for us
See you tonight those that will be attending. To those that don't you must be against the whole of lufc not with us

"See you tonight those that will be attending. To those that don't you must be against the whole of lufc not with us"
I take exception to that statement, some of us CAN'T be there for various reasons, money, distance, commitments, but that does NOT mean we are AGAINST LUFC!

Agree with the last poster, if people can't make it for whatever reason it doesn't reflect on their support for the club. I have travelled to Europe when we were challenging for honours, but 2 kids mean I can't afford it
I would keep those r******* statements for your mates
Don't suppose you will see this until later as I think I just passed you in Leeds city centre drinking a can of special brew

Id like poyet manager, radebe assistant with batty, Mcallister and an ex leeds forward legend as striker coach. Hasselbaink maybe. Dream team

Go back to your x-boxes. We don't choose owners, managers or players. We are customers. Currently Warnock is the manager, he has a terrific record at this level so shut up and support the team. Stability is what is needed and promotion is not unattainable yet.

Barcelona. You have a way with words luckyluciano. Like your positive spin.

I'm afraid my choice for new manager would not go beyond the obvious, Poyet or Adkins. Managing a club like Leeds with the demands of the fans, is no picnic. We have new owners, and are in transition, an unproven inexperienced coach such as Naylor or Redfearn is not the answer, (I do like them). Poyet and Adkins have genuine experience, and are young managers. They both play a free flowing style of play, that has passing and pace at the heart of the philosophy. For the current position we are in either of these two could give 3-5yrs of there lives to the cause, giving us the much needed stability required as we head into another summer with a new Manager, our third in three years this time round.
Agree0

Luckyluciano fair enough you go to games and well done for your support but your negativity towards other fans who can't make it is beyond belief.
If people want to go to ER and support good on them and if they don't let them support at home or stay away because of Bates that is their choice and nothing to do with you.

Wf6 white I was just stating the people who stay away without them being too far a field are damaging their own club.
Our support is vital and helps push the team on I. e blackpool.
I maybe critical but like many others who point finger at bates, neil, GFH or any other person presumably able to be at fault. I point it at us as a fan base. How can we be best fans in world when we are wholly negative about our club? How can you turn up to a game boo warnock and expect the players to keep their heads?
Bates is gone for the good of everyone.
Also I like barcelonas concept of building a style of play and making everyone down to the under 8s play it and we should follow suit build the youth on the premise of a style of play. Works for barca can work for anyone. Would take years to impliment but would be good and positive.

Poyet (would also give serious consideration to Lambert or Martinez if they were to be sacked). Robinson not ready; definite no to Di Canio. That's it really. NW through to end of season. Really not sure about Adkins -was at Scunthorpe a long time, had money at Soton; not sure about his ability now to make the jump to a club with really big expections -no spring chicken. Chapel A

Paulo DiCanio's Swindon backroom staff all resigned last night after their game! Could be that Paulo has a new job lined up and is taking them with him as is often the case. I think Paulo would be excellent for us as his passion is 100% and he knows a thing or two about how to play football. He is a winner. My son was trialling at Swindon recently and we met him and he seems like a decent guy. He's on his way up in managerial terms which is the direction we all want Leeds to go in.

In my opinion DiCannio would do a good job with the players we have. as we have seen in games against saints and Tottenham, we can play some decent football. a more passing game will release the creative players like diouf and mac. the long ball passes over our players like Austin an tonge who can hold up play and seek through balls. DiCannio or Adkins for me, both like playing the " modern game" as opposed to colins ancient long ball tactics
