[Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Just out of curiosity what sort of money would a player in this situation, never played in EPL and loaned to Championship where he tears up trees, likely be on ?

There were rumours a few weeks ago that’s he’s on £10k a week.

The media love stirring things up. Ben White’s social media post is a very respectful thank you to Leeds United and their fans. Fair enough.
Leeds Live are reporting that the ‘social media post is Ben refusing to rule out a return’... wow that is some spin.

Perhaps they need Ben to be a bit clearer? Something along the lines of ‘why would I ever want to play for that shower of sh@t again’.

Still it keeps the journos busy in pre season.

Their whole coverage of it is cringey clickbait.

Which is the only reason Leeds could have afforded him.

Thanks for that, I reckon there will be much discussion and speculation over the next few weeks.

I think we have played a blinder in his development and I am delighted at how well he has done at DL.

Bottom line is that the decision on Ben Whites immediate future is roughly 80% BHA. 20% Ben White.


0%. Repeat 0% Leeds.

I really don’t understand all the negativity towards us from Leeds. Big clubs have loaned players to lower league clubs to guarantee them first team football for years. We didn’t think he was ready so he tore up the champo. That would do him the world of good. Leeds benefited from borrowing a player from a stronger side and got promoted. They should be thanking us.

Shouldn’t be beholden to #TeamsLikeBrighton

Are agents allowed to even do that? Is that not tapping up and illegal? I thought you were only allowed to talk about contract offers after the clubs have given permission! If that is happening I would hope the agent gets sacked and banned.

Undoubtedly not allowed. Also undoubtedly happens all the time

Ben White's agent is Alex Levack, who was one of the parties who received a 14-month ban for the part he played in Dale Stephens' transfer to Albion (which resulted in Albion also receiving a £90,000 fine and a warning).

Brighton fined £90k for breaching agent regulations during transfer of Dale Stephens!

They desperately need him for their Champions League campaign. No laughing at the back!

What in the Holy hell is this article. This isn't journalism. Click bait garbage. Says nowhere that he's considering his future.

Is there a "This tweet makes me feel a bit crosspatch." button...?

He is either staying with us or off to a top 6 club. Leeds are basically irrelevant to him now.

Need to get him signed up to a new contract and put an end to this utter circus.

But they are a top 6 club according to them, its "where we belong"

 

[The Oldman]

I do feel for BW. All this crap media attention for a young man could do your head in. I hope he has good friends and advisors around him.

in the same way you NEVER drive more than 70mph on the motorway because its illegal! what do I know, but my guess is this sort of stuff will happen indirectly. Agent will have a plausibly deniable and discreet "off the record" convo at arms length.

This is football, its a dirty business and rules are often broken.

Technically true. It’s offensive journalism [emoji106]
