Hearing we are trying to get Vaz Te from the spammers, hope it comes off would be the best wide player in the division

Hes a striker, so would not make best wide player.
Agree4

Played wide right for west ham when they went up. Played wide left for Barnsley the day he took the pi$$ out off all our back line very bad day. Just because he's a striker on FIFA doesn't mean it's fact. Better playing wide in a 4 3 3 formation though

Vaz te is a complete donkey! Played well against us at Barnsley and that is it! He scored a jammy goal for west ham in the play off final and that's it. Best wide player in the league? Give me a break!

Agree0

Ever since he spooned that goal a couple of seasons back and the ran back to the kop to celebrate I've hated him

Heineken have paid us £250,000 to use Heineken in the East stand, and also towards other activities around Elland Road on match-day. Heineken have also got a private suite for the fans that have won the competitions to enjoy the game. So far this is all the facts I know yet, maybe more sponsorship to come?

This is good news, but us fans want to hear news regarding major investment which will help us get back to the premier league.

The haven't paid us 250k, they've spent that on the kit to pour quicker pints! And the executive suite is the viewing lounge in the south stand.
You've read the OS like the rest of us

Maybe you should read the article again mate.
They have invested 250. 000 in bar equipment to reduce service time.
They haven't given us anything.

They have not paid us 250,000 they have invested that amount in updating the bars to serve the fans quicker. Trevo

Fosters worst lager going sweet tasting p#ss water least a decent cider. And that big RED star on the Heineken branding will go down well! Lol

How I mean is that the revenue we will get from sales on match-day will be alot!
-PJ
Agree0

You really don't know what you are talking about do you. They spent 250k on replacing beer pumps etc to fast delivery pumps, they didn't hand over the money.

The club don't get revenue because bates sold the catering rights to compass for the next five years! that's been trousered

More information about the Red bull sponsorship. As Leeds united do not currently own the Elland Road stadium, my connections have told me that Red Bull will buy the stadium back for us, then the stadium will be called the Red bull arena. Also I have been told that they wanted to buy into the name as well but I am unsure if the club want to let that go ahead, personally I would be happy for that to happen, what do you think?

Needs to happen ASAP
Agree4

Of course not -it doesn't happen, nor should it, in this country. We've already covered it on here -Manchester Ethihad, Arsenal Emirates, Newcastle Direct. ? Don't be so ridiculous. Chapel A
Agree1

Not allowed to happen in England unless a company buys a club and starts from non league.
Agree1

Of course it can happen! Like I said, I am not sure about the Naming of the club but it would be great to have Elland Road changed to The Red Bull stadium/arena.
-PJ

If they touch the name or the badge or the white kit there will be hell on
Agree1

Red bull don't sponsor clubs, they move in and completely suck the soul out of clubs . If you want lufc to become lrb. They obliterate a clubs history, no consideration for the sensibilities of the fans or local communities generally. Be careful what you wish for.

For those claiming a new owner can not rename without dropping out of the football league a reminder - MK Dons! However there may be league rules banning commercial naming of a club, (eg Leeds Red Bull). They hit this stumbling block in Germany but got round it by naming the club 'Rasen Ballsport Leipzig' which translates as lawn ballsports - which quite frankly means nothing but it meant they could call the club RB Leipzig. As for the kit and badge all of their clubs wear exactly the same kit with identical badges. Hopefully the deal is for stadium rights only
Agree0
Disagree0
I'm sure the FA's rules regarding renaming of a football club were changed to prevent it ever happening again in Britain after the Wimbledon/MK Dons fiasco.
Cardiff City are the most recent case where a takeover has resulted in an upheaval of traditions and cultural qualities within a club (now play at home in red - not their traditional blue; had their badge changed;). But the name has not been changed!
I live 20 miles from Cardiff, so most of my mates are "Bluebirds" (or RedBlueDragonBirds if I want to annoy them) who swore never to attend another game when the changes were made (yet most of them still bought a season ticket). They were adament that it tore the life and soul out of the club. Others were all for the change and over the moon at having investment that could fulfil their Premier League ambitions.
I was happy as a pig is s**t at all the upheaval, they are to me the only team that par with the Red Scum. I'm eating huimble pie now!
What I'm saying is, I'm sure the name cannnot be changed, but if we do have significant investment, I think I'd be willing to compromise on kit colour/stadium name/badge change in lieu of Premier League football.

Wots everybody moaning at? Is there any concrete evidence of red bull even wanting to buy elland road or into leeds?

Find it fairly shocking that most Leeds fans would sacrifice decades of Leeds United/Elland Road history for a quick fix to our current financial situation.

Give gfh a chance for god sake to many fans are to quick to jump the gun on them there building this club back slowly but surely patience is needed

Probably the worst cider in the world.
I love real ciders, Stronbow isn't one of them.
Agree0

Thats it I have had enough. Why is it always lager (pish) and cider (sweet pish)
I will not be going to Elland Road until we have been sponsored by a decent ale.
Theakston's would do nicely lol
Only joking, no doubt I will have a few John Smiths as usual unless Billy's has anything better

No Rome was indeed built in many bloody decades even centuries. but I for one don't want to wait that long for Leeds United to be in the Premiership.

Leeds not to sign anyone until any of the Leeds players leave the club which looks very unlikely for now.

I personally think that we will try to get Mills in b4 next week but because we have been taken over by a bunch of tools, we probably won't.

I doubt it counts towards that, I though he was already just a coach without playing anyway

but why? we have a target man in big Smithy? so doubt it
Agree1

I doubt this very much and also sincerely hope not. He has had one decent season and is already 27. We have Matt Smith for his style of play and I'd rather play Varney every week.
Agree1
Disagree1
Port vale want more than that for him
Top scorer in all of the English leagues they want at least 400,000 apparently
Agree2
Disagree1
Im all for giving players from the lower leagues a chance but with tom pope he simply cannot play above league two
Agree2
Disagree0
To target men humm thought we were moving away from hoofball?
Agree2
Disagree0
Doubt this rumour highly but, to those who fear hoofball; hoofball still has its place in the modern game and if you're under pressure, away from home protecting a slim single goal advantage, you want a big guy up front to win headers and ease that pressure. Much as we all hate it (and have suffered more than enough of it, thanks Neil), it is still worth having that option on the bench because at some point in every season, we will need it. Can't see it being our only plan this season. Brian's going to get that midfield passing and overlaps on the wings making space for some quality crossing onto Smithy's head.
