Seen latest from Phil Hay? Seems AR offered ER as part of security for Sampdoria deal?
1.) 01 Jun 2023 14:08:43
Surprised ??
2.) 01 Jun 2023 14:17:29
Bit weird that would come to light before sale of Leeds.
No wonder 49 hesitant.
Not that I have any faith in either.
Just goes to show you that it’s a business not a sport sadly.

If he plans on selling imminently then its not such a big deal - maybe needed the cash quicker than negotiations with 49ers could progress - and then when he sold he'd have the cash as collateral or could pay off the loan.
If he plans to invest in both concurrently then I'm super annoyed because A. he doesn't have the cash evidently to be competitive for Leeds let alone being involved in two clubs. B. It shows a callous disregard for fans and the community feel of the club.

When they say 'stranger things have happened' - does that extend to Huddersfield Town beating Ipswich Town on Saturday?
1.) 01 May 2024 13:28:25
Yes. It means hudds and Southampton winning.
Now that would be strange.
2.) 01 May 2024 15:35:43
Huddersfield unexpectedly beat WBA promoting us last time.
3.) 01 May 2024 16:59:32
Yes Ani but as you conveniently fail to point out in 2019/ 20 season Huddersfield were fighting for their lives to stay up ( they finished just 3 points above R)
They had 100% motivation to beat West Brom.
4.) 01 May 2024 18:22:47
Baz, I didn't conveniently leave anything out; I made a statement of fact. It is conjecture on what motivated them that day and what might motivate them on Saturday.
By the same token, was there any evidence last night that Coventry didn't want to win the game; again having "nothing to play for? " If they could have actually passed to each other, they should have won last night. Never seen such poor passing accuracy.
We were very motivated to beat QPR, with everything on the line, didn't mean were guaranteed a victory.
I would hazard a guess plenty of Huddersfield players will be elsewhere next season for one reason or another; perhaps they will be very motivated to impress someone.
I subscribe to the integrity of the league; no one goes into a football match not trying to win; Huddersfield will be trying to win.
Southampton have nothing to play for? So I guess we are 100% guaranteed our victory?
5.) 01 May 2024 19:02:51
Ani
Huddersfield motivation and need to stay up in front of a raucous home crowd was obvious as stated; perhaps watch that West Brom match to see for yourself.
6.) 01 May 2024 19:22:56
Quality predictor.
7.) 01 May 2024 23:28:56
Indeed George…everyone here including Baz predicted Ipswich wouldn’t make the Auto’s. Indeed less than 2 weeks ago, Baz was forecasting Southampton for second and Ipswich for third. No doubt, if the miracle happens this weekend Baz will claim “Ipswich, third, check. ”.
8.) 02 May 2024 03:10:16
Ani. I thought Ipswich would fall away finally in April .
Unlike your folly of December ?.
9.) 02 May 2024 09:08:08
I should just take a leaf out of Baz's book on making predictions and forecasting. Essentially, that entails waiting until it's a forgone conclusion and then making them. oh, and conveniently forget those that were still wrong!
30 Apr 2024 20:40:00
I'm subjecting myself to listening to Andy Hinchcliffe fawning over Ipswich.
1.) 30 Apr 2024 21:53:04
Well, a massive well done to Ipswich.
I expected them to drop off, but they didn't and deserve to be promoted
We know our destiny is the playoffs, so let's rest the main players on Saturday and get them ready for the big lottery ahead
#nothingtoplayfor
#dont****thisupfarke.
2.) 30 Apr 2024 22:07:19
Lol, Manston, pride comes before a fall, Udders win one nil in the 90th minute on Saturday, we beat Saints, jobs a good un ?.
3.) 30 Apr 2024 22:09:05
Blimey Manston you’re a glutton for punishment!
I’m not a great believer in miracles but we are in need of one this weekend.
4.) 30 Apr 2024 22:25:09
No chance Huddersfield win on Satdi. They have literally nothing to play for.
5.) 30 Apr 2024 22:55:27
If Farke rests players on Saturday he should be sacked.
Granted it’s 1% chance Huddersfield win but it’s still a possibility.
Scenario. Huddersfield score from a corner early on and then score a 25 yard scorcher. Probably won’t happen but football can be that way.
We have to play our best team even to gain the possibility of a good result and gained confidence.
As Lenny Kravitz said….
6.) 30 Apr 2024 23:01:51
Exactly Alf, no pressure just go out an play, as with us. All the pressure is on Ipswich to get over the line, remember Crisp in the 73 national ?.
7.) 01 May 2024 00:36:25
Pressure on Ipswich?
They need just a point against woeful Huddersfield
A stroll in the park easy 3 nil win.
8.) 01 May 2024 08:59:17
Stranger things have happened.
Not saying it will, but rule nowt out!
9.) 01 May 2024 09:15:19
Cork we can but hope mate.
27 Apr 2024 16:15:01
West Brom currently getting beat. Hull must smell blood if that stays the case.
27 Apr 2024 09:07:12
Is the reality a bit more simple in respect of last night? We were playing a team fighting to avoid the drop at a known compact ground. They started the season badly but then brought in a new coach that has turned them round. They would be up for it. Why was Kamara on the bench and only brought on after 87 minutes? Is he injured? Rutter is big and skilful but everyone knows he's a big softie and easily dispossessed. Archie is still only 18. They ran through us in midfield all night. No wonder there was no link between defence and attack. And why wasn't Piroe hooked when it was clear he was having no impact on the game? We failed to do our homework. Perhaps also a lack of respect for the opposition?
1.) 27 Apr 2024 09:27:07
Indeed 56. Manager useless or on a payroll. That was the worst team performance I’ve seen all season inc Ipswich.
2.) 27 Apr 2024 11:33:10
Well thought through post Manston! Makes sense in many ways.
26 Apr 2024 21:58:49
Completely outplayed.
1.) 26 Apr 2024 22:10:08
Completely Outplayed! you mean Completely Outmanaged!
Don't worry guys. At least we still have the Best manager ever in the Championship.
BLEEP OFF!
2.) 26 Apr 2024 22:13:50
Unsurprisingly with the starting line up
Farke overated . players over rated . some weren't even bothered.
3.) 26 Apr 2024 22:37:57
Baz QPR proved that when your playing for all the marbles goals win games. Again playing 2 defensive midfielders against lower half teams is scared football. Gruev, Kamara and Archie Gray have (ZERO GOALS) from midfield. DF hasn't had a plan B all season and I put it all on Him.
We had a hot and hungry striker at Chelsea and we were supposed to ride him until the cows came home. AGAIN it starts from the top.
Still believe M Joseph will be a Leeds Hero in the Playoffs. KARMA.
4.) 26 Apr 2024 22:42:45
Baz, you're not wrong with the attitude
Amps and Firpo were the only players who tried.
5.) 26 Apr 2024 22:43:27
Baz Playing for the move as ascension to the EPL strengthens the club's valuation making a transfer harder.
6.) 26 Apr 2024 23:20:08

I think the editor has hit the nail on the head chaps. Leicester City have clearly had success on the pitch in recent years - but as a football club they are nothing. Leeds United are a big scalp for them. We had gloating and sniping from Chris Wilder when he took SU up.
30 Apr 2024 20:14:52
Unfortunately not. 0 v 1 at moment.
27 Apr 2024 16:22:01
Trouble is they are likely to come straight back down. As are Ipswich. And as we possibly would without significant additions to the squad. A club needs to be ready to go up. The structure needs to be right. I’d rather stay in the championship than be a yoyo club.
27 Apr 2024 14:33:55
Well said Leodis! And I’m still looking forward to taking my eldest lad - who’s just turned 18 - in The Scarborough Taps straight after a game when I next take him up. The door man on match day is good at his job! I Love Leeds. We are Leeds. On On On!
