Having a different opinion is fine, but when you start postulating factually-incorrect bollocks (such as White taking no part in pre-season training last summer) I'm fairly likely to respond - it's a bit like a red rag to a bull!
Of course, I have no inside info on what actually happens at the football club, but I would expect a loan move such as White to Leeds would be at least days, and more likely weeks in the making (particularly as we now know there was to-ing and fro-ing about the terms of the deal, with Leeds wanting a right-to-buy option that Albion wouldn't give them).
Potter joined the club on May 20. He already knew of White from wanting to take him on loan to Swansea. I'm absolutely certain he was fully involved in the decision-making process that eventually took White to Leeds, and I have absolutely no reason to believe that he was disgruntled about it in any way. And I have absolutely no problem with you believing otherwise - just don't pervert the facts when you try to justify your ridiculous theory.

Are they still going?! Desperate.
For a set of fans who mistakenly like to make out they’re a big club, they don’t half come across as TINPOT.

What f***ing planet do these tools live on?
That’s a Chelsea fan, but still utterly deluded.

This is a new insight into what Leeds fans think they know (well new to me)

I'd try to pick him out in the training photos but I have no idea what he looks like, based on never hearing of him until leeds united made him the player he is today.

strong and stable with me, or...

I never suggested he was disgruntled.
Only thing I got factually wrong was that he was at pre-season for 2 or 3 days. Blimey, doesn't take much of a red rag for you does it.
Potter may well have known about White before arriving, but both of us are making an assumption whether he agreed the loan deal being made or not, or whether it was pretty much done anyway, I guess we'd have to ask him (which is what I had already stated numerous times, and as clear as I could state it was my opinion not backed by any facts - do I need to put it in bold in future?)

F*** Twitter. Every other post seems to have a f****** Twitter link in it. Usually a useless bit of crap.

Good lord it never ends does it. What on earth is going through their minds?
Sincerely. I mean I see a lot of Brighton fans on social media, and you get the odd nonsense but by and large we’re pretty damn humble, reasonable and level headed.
I’ve never seen anything like this behaviour and I thought Villa fans were bad. A poster above suggested there are issues with the education system up there, and jokes aside I think there is perhaps an element of truth to that.

The Twitter quote I was trying to share was this:
"we are lead to believe , each time he rejected he contacted Orta , so we could prepare a bid ...yes i agree with negotiations ,its my business ! but even his own agent said whilst he was at Leeds he had turned down a revised new contract additional to the one he signed before us"
Not seen that reported before on here.

That makes absolutely zero sense.
Shouldn't be surprised really, It's clear we have entered some kind of bizarre parallel dimension when leeds fans are offering financial conduct advice to a club their owner has publically stated is the model to follow, suggesting Leeds is a nicer place to live than that "Seaside shithole" and best of all claiming our youth prospect is somehow "leeds through and through" after a year on loan from us. You just could not make any of it up
I'm almost sad that it's all coming to a close.

From having seen Leeds fans’ social media comments on White throughout the season, I think you’re 100% correct. Even after recognising that they hadn’t been able to sort a buy clause at the end of the loan, they just assumed he’d be their player on promotion and Brighton wouldn’t have a say in it.

Not to mention the paradoxical assertion that he’d be first pick for Leeds’ top ten side, but he’d be a bench warmer for Brighton’s supposed weaker side that are likely to get relegated.
Don’t recall it being as bad as this though Simster......
Perhaps my memory is just selective.

I have a theory that a lot of these leeds fan twitter users aren’t actually from leeds. In all likelihood they could have chosen any of four or five teams based on their geography but either they or their parents were attracted to the leeds ‘reputation’ over the others so the whole thing gets re-enforced. That dope killer whale wrote several long posts where it was clear he was turned on by the violence and hatred. I’m sure there are many more like him and combined they are a pretty toxic bunch of thickos. I feel a bit sorry for the embarrassment they must cause to the regular leeds fans.
