What better offer are you talking about ? The revenue didn't accept the best offer Bates came up with when compared to other bidders themselves. The best in the history of admin in football according to some people ... I'm not trying to glorify things here but at least we tried our best to give...
Mate , It's not a case of him wanting his money back . It was a case of you pay us as much as you pay the football creditors !
Fair enough , go tell that to the ones who MADE THESE RULES , NOT US ! Don't block us ffs !!
Our club went into bust last season not because we couldn't run ourselves...
I ve done my research buddy ! I don't read anywhere else where the Taxman blocked a club from going through with it's CVA !
In going into administration the FL docked Leeds 10 points during the 45th league game of the season (as opposed to the roughly halfway through that Luton and Bournemouth...
Stop spouting rubbish seasider !
Everybody in the leeds camp admit that we were poorly managed by our predecessors financially and unfortunately , we have paid some diabolical consequences of it . That does not mean we have shot ourselves in the foot.
Right now , we are healing together as a...
El Presidente,
When we went into Admin last season , WE WERE NOT RELEGATED mathematically ( 1 game remaining , 3 points behind but poor goal difference ). So it's completely within the rules . We can't go by meanings here . There might be a loophole in the system and someone had to tap it ...
The bitterness continues ! The only reason I'm still here is because I hope sensibility prevails in the end !
Yes , we out foxed the league by getting into admin last season. Yes , we used that to our advantage as the HMRC did not do what they did to CARDIFF ( by postponing the date for the...
Boy , none of you know what happened this summer and why we have the RIGHT TO APPEAL and why the football league are pissing in their pants in fear of losing the case to us !
If we really did any wrong , why on earth did they not let us go to the high court. Why wait till the last minute and...
Happens !! Such Cyber Wars are never going to end ! It's part and parcel of the system. I guess it feels good for some people to score Brownie points over the other :D .. Makes a good reading altogether ;)
I Think you summed up Carole well ! Good but frustrating ! He could never really carry the burden of our out and out winger when we first signed him and that really killed our season because we ended up playing Healy and Blake in the wings !
But then Wise came in , took him to a side and gave...
Im not bigging him up ! I absolutely despise him . But I'm just saying that , since we were forced into administration ( FORCED is the right word ) , the offer Bates came up with has been far better than what any club had to offer when they went through the same thing . So I really don't see why...
The premiership is indeed losing it's relevance but I don't agree about the championship though ! You have Bristol City , Plymouth and Hull City in the top 6 while Southampton , Preston etc in the bottom ! That shows how level a field that league has become. Championship is definitely an open...
Dave ,
Yes there is this certain honeymoon factor about playing in the lower leagues for us but It won't last for long as it's because of the fact that we seem to provide cup finals wherever we go in the championship and league 1 !! But the longer we stay here , the lesser our brand value and...
If he continues this good form and we continute to struggle , I think Macca will end up finding a use for him !!
But if we sort ourselves out , then his value will definitely increase as we would be looking at selling him this summer as we have loads of midfielders at our disposal and there...
As for Westy , yes , we did pay 1 Million for him in terms of value . You lads know how much Harding costed us ( including the appearances bonus ! ) and add some 350k to Harding's value and you will know how much we gave up for Westlake !
and with regards to any dig about us going to...
How likely is promotion someone asked ? Well I would say , 50-50 chances. We have a squad filled with some fantastic individual talents for this level but you try and put them on paper and form a decent 11 with a shape and system , you would struggle as it is highly imbalanced ( just 1 proper...
Yes , we had a brilliant midfield when Alan Thompson's groin was doing Okay . Thompson , Jonathan Douglas , Prutton and Carole - they were doing fine and Westlake couldn't really break into this midfield as they were fantastic for this league. But it's just that when he did break in , he got...
No , we were just a team capable of winning battles but not football games , under Wise n co ! Fair enough , it worked well untill our captain got injured and some key players were missing ( Clapham , Casper etc ) . We never had a back up plan and the replacements that came in struggled to match...
