[Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

[Sid and the Sharknados]

He wa always Piggy Watson to us

This just reminded me of the story I heard once about a kid who didn't catch the name of his (somewhat overweight) teacher, so asked the lad next to him what it was.
"Mr Creosote".
He proceeded to consistently call the teacher Mr Creosote for the rest of the term, which wasn't openly acknowledged or questioned by anybody involved.
Some time later, the kid saw Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
Anyway, as you were.

That is a hilariously crap contractual arrangement. I hope Luton buy him.

Where there is one hilariously crap contractual arrangement, there are sure to be more? No?

I’ve a feeling that Leeds are going to entertain us more in this coming transfer window than they did being spanked regularly last season!

He’s only got 12 months left on his deal, and on £100k a week reportedly

It's not getting any better for them...

That’s got Everton all over it.
For what it’s worth I think he’s shite.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

That’s got Everton all over it.
For what it’s worth I think he’s shite.

Well they've either wildly overpaid.
Or they'll massively undersell.
Or... both?
It's funny every which way.

Oops!

The second part of that is not too bad. If you're in the Championship and contracted to pay a player somewhere between £3-£5 million in wages for the year, a quick and easy exit doesn't seem a terrible idea.

The first part - spending £27 million on someone who was nearly thirty when they signed him was pretty reckless and stupid.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Leeds are Champions of Europe. Why worry about what goes in releg......

 

[nwgull]

That is a hilariously crap contractual arrangement. I hope Luton buy him.

That's the sort of release clause a club would only put in if they thought that there was no chance that they could be involved in a relegation fight.

 

[Motogull]

That is a hilariously crap contractual arrangement. I hope Luton buy him.

Born out of naivety and misplaced confidence they were in the EPL forever.

 

[Triggaaar]

That is a hilariously crap contractual arrangement. I hope Luton buy him.

Not really, because when you think about it, there's no way that Leeds will ever be relegated.

Blimey, I used to enjoy this thread, it was hilarious, now it's chock full of Latin bollocks. Disappointing.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Buy him for £3m, loan him to USG, sell him back to Leeds for £40m…….

C'est La vie*

*(I know it's French, not Latin, but I went to a comprehensive).

 

[Mellotron]

Did have a Leeds fan I know message me after the Forest and Everton results saying he thought we’d lost to them on purpose as Leeds had annoyed the club with the way the Ben White purchase bids had been done!

That might be the highest level of Main Character Syndrome I've ever heard of. Wow. Absolutely wow.

C'est la vie. (lower-case 'l' please.)

A comprehensive during the Thatcher years. You're lucky I used an apostrophe.

 

[Muzzman]

FFS

 

[A1X]

Far too much foreign language posting, not enough deluded Leeds fans IMHO

Thatcher actually visited my comprehensive in Portslade when she was education secretary
