Paul Green called up by the Oirish for the Euros. All contract talks, including with LUFC, will now be put on hold to end til the Republic are out.

This explains him not signing - his agent knows its a shop window ( good or bad ) and more options for him if he performs well in euros for a Prem move etc - let him go Neil i say - if he's not passionate about coming to ER
Agree0
Disagree0
Lol if he preforms well?, the guy is a last resort for the republic the amount of game time he will get will be 0%. The reason he hasn't signed officially for anyone is because his contract with derby doesn't expire until the end of the month.
Agree0
Disagree0
Well he wont be signing till mid July as Ireland will win the Euros he wont be involved as he is not good enough to make the team.

I am the director of the cooperate boxes at Leeds and my boss has told me that the reason why the ward deal is off is because he thought he would of sold clayton by now. He thought he would then have the funds. If Ross goes NW's replacement target will be sylvan ebanks-Blake! Pace and power all the NW attributed

Utter bull mate the position u r talking about doesn't exist

If you were indeed the director, i am sure you would at least be able to spell corporate.
Agree0

Director of the Corporate Boxes or the 'Cooperate'. Your obvious illiterate attempt displays obvious lack of intelligence.... you should be LEEDS FINANCIAL DIRECTOR.... Utter B/S comment mate
Agree0
Disagree0
Freudian slip maybe were getting took over by the co-op
Agree0
Disagree0
I am director of my business but i would never refer to my chairman as MY BOSS!! maybe we will have a co-op built into the south stand soon! handy to pop in at half time for a bag of carrots and some tampax for the wife when i get home!!

Regardless ...good shout Ebanks-Blake, be a good signing that....lets big it up get it on NW's radar!

QPR are to discuss the future of goalkeeper Paddy Kenny on Monday.
Kenny has been strongly linked with a move to Leeds United, having played under Elland Road boss Neil Warnock at Rangers, Sheffield United and Bury.
So far there has been no formal approach from Leeds, although that could change if Kenny is made available next week.

If we have no money why would we buy an average keeper, check our squad mate we need outfield players
Agree0
Disagree0
We already have aless than average keeper thats why we need Kenny!
Agree0

Think Kenny relationship and potential move has been on cards for some time. This would not be a surprise. All on hols so dont see move for few weeks. I'm personally 75% convinced he will come
Agree0
Disagree0
Kenny is no better than Lonners or QPR would not be getting rid. Think about it.
Agree0
Disagree0
Lonergan will do well next season he is a good keeper but only IF he has protection from a good strong defence

Contract offered to free agent Nicky Shorey. However, highly doubtful we can match Leicesters offer. Will all depend on whether he moves for just the money or the football.

Potential investor could be Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani (Google him). He's been hovering around in the background for a year or so.

Isn't he if I'm not mistaken the guy with the money behind Cf Malaga ! I'm a white through n through my second team is Malaga so would be its at all true

It's not the Malaga guy, he's a distant relative, the one mentioned above is heir apparent to Qatar
Agree0

We've got more chance of Sheik Rattle and Roll taking over.

He owns 70% stake in PSG - I dont think you are allowed to own more than 1 club?

All this talk of a takeover must be rubbish, not one rumour has been justified by providing a reliable source. MLSE have distanced themselves on twitter, the Freddie Shepherd rumour is 4 years old and who are Pearson, Wilkinson and their mysterious Arabian backers? KB is onto a good thing at LUFC creaming off the profit year after year so why sell? Any potential investors with half a brain will not trust KB with their money either. Remember Abramovich had to pay KB off when he bought Chelsea, as Ken wanted to retain a seat on the board (ego wont let go) which is what will be the sticking point should any takeover bid happen at Leeds. I hope I'm wrong about all this.

Unfortunately, i think you've hit the nail on the head there, but we can always dream

Wilkinson doesn't need an Arabian backer as he is extremely wealthy in his own right
Agree0

Totally agree with original post! Well said, bates will hold on to our beloved club until he fills his pockets and leaves us with no assets we already don't own our stadium or training facilities, and by the end of this summer we will have none of our best players and just replaced with 2nd best players! The White Rose needs to be strong but without that grey haired gimp!!
