Re: Ross McCormack Sold to Fulham

Great result for us I feel (if the £11m fee is correct). I thought Ross was our best and most creative player by a mile but even if you aren't a selling club, every player has to have their price. There's no chance he's worth what Fulham have reportedly paid for him and I'd have been happy enough if...

Re: Cellino wins FL appeal / TAKEOVER DISCUSSION

Good news at last. Finally we have a passionate owner who craves a successful football team, not just a financial return. McDermott has to go IMO but that's probably for another day. For now, I'm just eternally grateful for the QC who overturned the FL's biased decision. Forza massimo, forza leeds. ...

Re: Cellino set to acquire Leeds / TAKEOVER DISCUSSION

Personally I'm delighted this has happened and will be even more pleased when the FL has ratified the process and it's all finalised. Me too, we just need an end to all this and we can start a new era with renewed optimism. Ill be giving cellino a fair chance, he's one of us now. Welcome back Barne...

Re: Cellino set to acquire Leeds / TAKEOVER DISCUSSION

Personally I'm delighted this has happened and will be even more pleased when the FL has ratified the process and it's all finalised. I think it could be a rollercoaster under cellino for the next few years but I honestly think we'll be back in the big time within 2 years. I couldn't have said that ...

Re: Cellino set to acquire Leeds / TAKEOVER DISCUSSION

It's hard to know what to hope for from this mess but I wouldn't be in the "anyone but cellino" camp. Ok,he seems a colourful character with a slightly shady past but we put up with the biggest parasite in football ownership history for years up until recently. He seems a maverick,he seems...

Re: 2013/14 - Transfer rumours and squad discussions

We'll,I think the current run of form proves one thing definitively...we simply aren't good enough to mount a genuine promotion challenge this year. We need some pace and quality in the team urgently. Too many very average players. January is too far away to be able to wait for signings. We need at ...

Re: fao our ROI members

Question - Is McDermott of Irish background? Secondly I'm not sure McDermott is that great a manager! In the limited time he has been here he has done well. But this is a manager who was sacked by slough, Woking & reading - he is hardly Brian Clough yet. Certainly in terms of track record he is...

Re: Scott Wootton signs from Man Utd

Surely isrodger has a valid point based on observation? That, based on the single aspect of the length of the contract, the player that hasn't played a game yet has got a better deal out of this than the club? No, I don't see how that's a valid point. but how many facts do we get told at Leeds, to ...

Re: 2013/14 - Transfer rumours and squad discussions

I don't think it's too much of a shock regarding these 3 players. As has already been stated, we have plenty of cover in these particular positions already and it makes sense to get these players off the wage bill. I'm not too sure whether much (or any?) transfer funds will be generated from getting...
