Farke OUT NOW !! He has no "man management" skills. Berating players, encouraging others to leave (who end up playing better elsewhere), not able to try to get players to stay....they obviously see no future with Leeds, players don't want to come. Now every other club knows we are a "soft touch" when it comes to money.
Very naive Paul, you are following the herd. Marathe has undoubtedly made errors , not renegotiating Rutters contract to at least increase the release clause for one. Reserve your judgement until 1st September. Bad boys act in silence. Should they have advertised these release clauses, should we publicise our targets, should we break PSR, should we pay over the odds with our limited budget?
Unquestionably a long list of departures over the summer. Rats fleeing a sinking ship, I suppose. That the weak crew collapsed, and took 7 points (!) from a possible 21 down the stretch last year -- scuppering our Prem bounce back -- looms pretty large now, dunnit? *THEY* have to wear that forever. And the fanbase has to wake up and realize that LUFC standards have seriously dipped, to the point that the departed seem better than they actually were. Time to gear down: no hasty or rash signings; trust the young 'uns rise to the opportunity; and get off of the skipper's back. It's definitely gonna be a slog. Cheers.
Not at all beyond the realm of possibility based on our 3:3 come-from-behind draw at ER against newly promoted Pompey on opening day last weekend (!) and the midweek 0:3 League Cup whipping by Boro. Cheers.
All those season ticket & yellow shirt sales are practically worthless, not one person will sit in stands without thinking "what the hell am I wasting my time here I must be a mug"
Thanks Paul. Good to see you’re better. I’ve said on a number of other channels that this window was going to be tougher than last years due to possible player losses. Think I’ve been proved right. Time is passing by quickly and we need 5/6 new players in asap. We’re only mid table with current squad IMO. Some great observations Paul.
49 ers just need to tell fans to put up the cash buy the club and let us implode on ourselves sure keeping top notch player in, staying within psr, and not loosing you ass financially is easy. Or are they only running the team to keep us happy. They dished out 73 mill last June and need around another 60 plus mill next 2 years to pay off old debt not a lot of assets to strip when you have 190 mil in debts that you have to pay before you take any. Don't see them spending more than 20 to 25 mil more this window top 2 might be tough
Where do we go from here ...... Get rid of Farke .. Tactically inept one trick pony who cant read a game and gets out thought by any decent managers ...
I am quite calm so I understand the Archie deal for PSR, I get the release clauses - reluctantly, but now we seem to have a very large purse and no Leeds fan would be cautious about spending the whole damn lot on as many decent players as we can.
We will end up with new players we know nothing about from Europe. It's sickening losing my favourite player, then the next favourite player then the heartbeat of love from Georgie. Gutted. I'm sick of been taken for granted. I've just bought three Leeds away tops online from Leeds official. Paid for Georgies name on. Fecking worthless now. For me, my wife, but most important. My thirteen year old daughter. I feel like never getting a season ticket again for all my family. Bates. Ridsdale cheleno now 49ers. Asset stripping. Nothing short of a SCANDAL
You're completely wrong Paul. This is ASSET STRIPPED. 160 MILLION POUNDS. 14 MILLION SPENT. They new Beighton would make the deadline. Why why why not offer the heartbeat of Leeds team go. I'm totally against this asset stripping. Another Ken Bates at our club. Sickening. Please do live streams. Your great on here. The silence is deafening
Another gift from Radz & Orta ..... Another massive hurdle to overcome..... promotion is only a dream......49ers seem a bunch of cowboys......in it for the money... Hope you fell better soon👍
Radz 'built' everything on sand though. It wasn't done professionally and now we're back in the hole we started in, but fortunately not anywhere near as bad as the Bates/Cellino/GFH years.
Surely we would have to agree to the terms of the deal i.e. what if Brighton are only offering 25 million up front with the rest as 'add-ons' ( or something similar), would we have to agree to that ?.
I think we are run by sensible people, clubs would have known about the clause in Rutters contract. Makes sense that we haven't just bought players we at to wait and see who was leaving. I fully expect the 49ers to go out and spend.
don't agree with your view on Rutter, he is a project player and I don't think we have time for that. lets use the market and get player who have composure to get us out of this league
Heyup Paul, thanks for the update. I was called out for suggesting this may happen so nothing surprises me, Gnonto & Meslier will be next. Take care bud.
They have thrown Farke under the bus, and screwed us fans over. They were going to give him the players to get the job done? They were going to replace like for like? They were well prepared early this time? They brought red bull in to stop players leaving? Why the hell did they bring in so many recruiters. My blood is boiling right now.
Havent been able to sleep after this news. Im genuinely heartbroken and feel like i want the season to be over and done woth now. Too much to do now with 16 days left of the window. That team last night had zero spark and no fight and we will lose more of them before the window closes. There will be riots at elland road soon. Georgie is the heart and thats why we connect with him so much. Sending love for the tooth, feel your pain with that.
I was at the game Evie, we were all saying in warmup that all players looked like something was off. A lot of us think the players knew about Rutter way before the game. One of the lads even ended up banging £250 on borough to win because it was that clear there was something weighing on the shoulders of the players pre match
You say he unlocks defences? So many matches last year we couldn't do just that...... Unpopular opinion I'd take it, he gives the ball and away too much.... potential is there,we overpaid and now make a profit...
There’s been a lot of talk about Leeds having a stronger squad this season. That is clearly no longer the case. The owners are sending y’all down the river, sadly.
Hey, Paul, sorry to learn that you're poorly. Trust you'll be better and back on your feet before LUFC is. Getting our feathers plucked is just going to happen. Cheers.
