Thanks for everything Manor, Joe, Junior and Sam. We wouldn't be where we are without you.

Ya I know, great of all the above mentioned to waiver their hefty salaries and play for. free
Now lads don't go all in on me, . just a reminder, these lads nearly all made over a million quid with us.

Do you work for free pal, or as much as you can get? (This is where he tells me he's a volunteer for the RNLI ?)

No I certainly don't, neither should anyone else, but equally don't lose sight that these lads made huge money from Lufc, so don't be too in awe of them .
Do you regularly go around thanking all employees in other aspects of day to day life for their services?
Answer of course is no you don't.

Dgoodwin mate, I think Chris was just trying to make a point about the money these players earn for playing and for that privilege of earning so much money they should be playing their hearts out every game, and in fairness Rothwell and Solomon did, but over the years we know plenty that haven’t, me being a die hard Leeds fan would wear that shirt for free and play my heart out every week but that’s just me.
Chris is also correct in saying that there a not many jobs where you get thanked for a good days work and these players are in an industry where they get full pay whether they are injured, play rubbish or are just not up to it, they still get every penny, bonus for wins, scoring goals, clean sheets and of course promotion, then if they get relegated they can all jump ship and go somewhere else for more money and stuff the loyal supporters who cheered their name every week and paid hard earned money to watch them for 90 mins, they were the reason you get relegated so they should be made to stay to fight and get us back up, but it doesn’t happen like that hence Chris’s reply mate. I totally get what you are both saying but I’m siding with Chris on this one due to the stupid money that’s in the game now. Only my opinion though Dgoodwin pal. ✊.

So succinctly put Woody pal, of course we support them and wish them to do well, but this idolising footballers that is now so commonplace is just silly I. M. O.

Solomon and Firpo earned their money. They kept us in the running for the last half a dozen games when Piroe went missing. Not to mention Solomon's last minute goal that not only won us the league, but did so by breaking records and breaking (Burnley) hearts.
Solomon and Firpo could have given a half arsed performance but they gave it their all, even knowing they probably won't be Leeds next year.
Rothwell came on and sank Sheffield united.
Respect to all of them. They did what they got paid for, and more.
I hope our fans give them a warm reception when we play against, and beat, the teams they play for.
