Seeing Ponus sitting against the East Stand advertising boards was very sad but, and I hope that I am wrong, I have to say that the message appeared to be "come and get me" to any decent Premier club who might be looking for a CB.
We need him and the majority of the squad for next season.
1.) 17 May 2019 17:58:16
You got to feel the fear factor now because radz is definitely goi g to get offers for PJ KP KR JC JS,
And we all know he is going to cash in on some if not all of the above .
It should be a case of fans holding season ticket money until he actually spends some proper money .
Seriously the amount of fans with their heads up their rock n rolls about radz us laughable.
He refused to strengthen in the previous 2 windows and the Danny James episode should blow all doubt about his character out of the water .
He's another frugal shrewd biz man who does not want to invest in team, only wants the sales department and turnstiles ticking over, throw a few pound at bang average muck from other leagues .
2.) 17 May 2019 22:19:49
I have a good feeling he will sell to someone with money.
3.) 17 May 2019 22:52:44
Some may argue against me but if we have to raise some money for other signings/ stay within FFP. Provided we can get 10-15m for Roofe (in mind he only has a yr left) in terms of those listed above he is the most expendable. He's had a good not great season, spent about 30% injured too. I think he's at the pinnacle of what he can offer, we'd be lucky to get a repeat next season. Sell Roofe unfortunately we have to keep Bamford as he has no sell value right now.
Sign a new forward (Haland i'd love as i've said already but not likely, but the kind of ambition we need to have nonetheless) . We have three young strikers who are certainly worth a look too in pre-season (Edmondson, Temenzhkhov, and Wilks) .
Goal scorers can flatter to deceive. I don't think Roofe has, he's done as well as he can but his value is a bit inflated and he may not sign a new deal either sell when we can get something for him.
Ultimately we need to keep Jansson, Phillips. Clarke and Shackleton i think will be with us whatever unless truly stupid money. Jansson's contract situation in particular also leaves us in a strong position financially.
A new winger, centre back (ideally a partner not replacement for Jansson) striker and Central attacking mid (may not need if Bogusz shows he can do it) . Bailey as No.1 next yr.

Chris CC, all businessmen will want to come to the club and make money and the money comes from being successful and having a team doing well that people want to watch. Most successful year since we returned to the championship. It’s a start not a finish. I think we could be in a lot worse hands than Radz and we have been.
5.) 19 May 2019 16:51:26
I definitely hear what you say @spanish Leeds but it's so infuriating now that a lot of us knew in July what needed doing and knew what the outcome of refusing to open the wallet would be .
So to hear him now say the usual muck, thinking that as fans we can't see through his shite talk is very condescending to fans.
Surrounding himself with yes men who surely know difference between bang average+ quality.
6.) 23 May 2019 19:33:22
Chris great post.
16 May 2019 00:44:43
great atmosphere tonight, coasting at one nil and then stupid mistakes.
I for one believes that this has been the best season for years for excitement and quality football.
thank you Leeds for bringing such a genius of a manager to the club, who coached a quality team, bringing the best out of many players and provided so much entertainment for us long suffering supporters.
Looking forward already to next season.
1.) 16 May 2019 09:41:01
Good post, the manager needs to decide if he wants to be here next year, if he can try to do it all again and what he will need to do it. Then the club needs to decide if it can give him what he needs. Some big decisions that shouldn’t be rushed but that also need to be made quickly in order to move on.

30,000 tickets sold for the Rotherham game. No doubt it is because we are playing well and sitting 4th in the league. I for one will be going to witness a cricket score - essential if we are going to compete with the Mags and the Seegulls for the top two but, doesn't the sensible pricing of tickets for this fixture speak volumes. Looking forward to see and hear 32,000 voices (and 250 very quiet ones) Marching On Together.
1.) 31 Dec 2016 05:14:43
A cricket score? It's a local derby so form and league position meet nothing, they will be up for it too.
23 Sep 2016 13:21:46
Big Frank going to Southport. If he returns as accomplished as Charlie Taylor following his loan at Fleetwood I for one would be very happy.

So, GFH have not got a pot to p**s in. They do not have the funds to contribute to the purchase of new players. Enter Steve Parkin to make GFH an offer they cannot refuse.
1.) 22 Jun 2016 07:25:57
That would be the best scenario and probably the best bit of business done this close season (getting rid of gfh) .
MM.
2.) 22 Jun 2016 12:37:54
Please let this be the case.
3.) 22 Jun 2016 16:48:55
They might not have any money to offer but you can sure as hell garantee they'll ask top dollar for their share.
The price they'll invent off the top of their head will be enough to scare away any interested parties.
It's going to have to take someone with a lot of bottle, a fair bit of cash and not a lot of sense to pay over the odds for a small share in a club.
The only 2 options are a billionaire coming in to buy the club out completely and that isn't going to happen because let's face it, it'd have happened already.
The 2nd would be for Cellino to buy them out so Atleast when he comes to sell the club he's gotten rid of any red tape with regards to messing about with small stakes here and there.
I also can't see that happening so for now, we're stuck with an owner who wants to up the ante but doesn't want to pay for this special season alone and a finance company who have no finance to offer their own 'investment'.

"So, GFH have not got a pot to p**s in. They do not have the funds to contribute to the purchase of new players. Enter Steve Parkin to make GFH an offer they cannot refuse. "
These people have more money than you or I will ever see in a lifetime.
And they haven't had to work hard like us to get it.
They are leeches, full stop.

You cannot feel sorry for those Londoners who have travelled all the way to Crystal Palace to see their beloved Munchester tonight.
1.) 06 May 2024 22:09:55
I do hope prem that they serve a good prawn sandwich at Palace.
Mind you might be a few choking on them tonight watching this.
Some good goals from Palace tonight!

I think teams have found us out, do you remember when teams found out MB’s teams?, well I reckon it’s happened again, here’s why;
1. Cry Summerville, great player but only has one trick, his right foot, he’s now getting found out and shut down, as soon as he gets it out on the wing the opposition smother him, his head goes, sulks and starts becoming sluggish.
2. Georginio, fabulous player, great turn of foot, again been found out and other teams players now surround him and don’t let him play. They foul him, roll him, shirt pulling and little trips on him, he then tends to start wayward passing, his tricks don’t work and the odd shot goes high into the stand or becomes a mishit. Subbed and then sulks!
3. Willy Gnonto, again great player but he’s been found out and other players wind him up, he gets fouled, little niggly fouls, shirt pulling etc etc and they get a reaction, he then commits fouls, his head goes down and that’s it he done and subbed!
4. Patrick Bamford, he’s slowing down now and the opposition know it, they then know that they can give him a few yards start and still catch him, so they play to his weaknesses, he gets frustrated and then tries to do things he can’t and ends up looking stupid, again he’s either great or crap. He puts in a shift and does track back but he’s easily worked out when in attack!
5. Finally the other 7 play to their strengths every game but when you have 4 players taken out like we have had done of late it does not bode well. DF needs to give us a new dimension, he can do this by using DJ from the start along with Jayden Anthony, MJ, and Joel Piroe. Kamara and Gruev need to stay in midfield and Archie needs to go back to RB while Firpo stays at left back. Amps and Rodon speak for themselves. We then have plenty of pace on the bench for him to use for the last 15/ 20mins.
But what do I know eh, I’m just a Leeds fan who like all the other Leeds fans thinks he knows it all and should be the next Leeds manager! In the words of Manuel, ‘I know nothing’! ????.
3.) 07 May 2024 07:40:35
Woody, my issue with Cry, at least what I've noticed, is that he's become less and less likely to play inside the lines and get the ball to feet wirh his back to goal, where he was very effective collecting the ball and turning and running at players.
Recently he seems to hug the line more. This along with him generally being doubled up has made him less effective as he only has one channel to go - inside.
We need continual overlap from Firpo (or whoever is LB) to make that play effective. But again, can't have Firpo bombing on every instance as we've become more porous defensively and it makes us easier to pass through after losing possession.
I'd like to see him collecting the ball to feet closer to the centre circle again. His press resistance is phenomenal in those situations and he's a much better creator when he has more options a little further in the pitch, with his head up running at people. Allows for a give and go, a through ball or a dribble or a shot on goal, rather than leaving fewer options and passing routes from out wide.
{Ed001's Note - that sounds like a coaching problem to me. Players usually naturally tend to drift into the centre without instruction, as they want to get involved in the play more and be closer to the action. If he is now playing wider, it is likely that is what he is asked to do in order to create more space in the middle by drawing players out to mark him.}
4.) 07 May 2024 08:44:20
Sounds like it could be, Ed. Problem is there's no one else occupying that space for us if Cry is perpetually hugging the line. Kamara and Gruev rarely make positive runs or crash the box etc. Always hovering around the half way line. Means we're always a bit fractured between our midfield pivot and offensive players.
5.) 07 May 2024 15:21:05
Totally agree Dill
A big gaping hole that powers that be never addressed.
An attacking CM was so much on my wish list, but we stuck with a trio of same ilk
Although. i know 1 was moved into defence
It's no surprise really we limited our attacking threat with players we signed.
6.) 07 May 2024 16:58:52
Agree, Chris. For some reason I always thought Kamara was a little more attacking than he has shown. Definitely not the case this season. Gets a nosebleed if he goes further than the opponent's side of the centre circle.
Needs addressing this summer.

7.) 16 Apr 2024 20:54:03
George a WUM? Ridiculous tosh
Saints 3 nil up . just 3 points behind the mighty Farke's Leeds
looks like George has justifield reason to be a tad despondent.
8.) 16 Apr 2024 22:10:52
I think George is a bit more than a tad despondent Baz.
Southampton very fortunate to be playing a team with nothing to play for, a victory for them was not a surprise. We still have a superior goal difference over them and Ipswich if this goes to the wire which I think it will.
You can thank Jimmy for that if it comes down to goal difference, the player you want the club to sell!
9.) 16 Apr 2024 22:31:36
Thank you DJ too OP . same goal contributions.
10.) 16 Apr 2024 22:37:50
Exactly OP. Some peeps have no idea about the context of certain games and how that impacts performance. Saints have been there or thereabouts fornthe majority of the season so no surprise they are up there now. Plus they seem ro have had their rough patch and now in fine form again. Will be a formidable opponent in the final weeks.
11.) 16 Apr 2024 23:06:08
Well, all, up, we need Southampton to be in the mix. Their game in hand against Leicester has some real meaning now.
12.) 17 Apr 2024 05:46:43
Leeds need to win matches Ani. the Leicester vs Saints match won't help them now.
13.) 17 Apr 2024 07:44:19
Of course it will Baz - If Southampton beat Leicester, then it will be one point between us and Leicester on the same games. Of course we have win our games - Like I say, us v Southampton, winner takes all, is fine by me.

It was very frustrating watching him today trying the impossible. He needs to lift his head and look at the better options that are available. Lots of moans amongst the silent majority in the West Stand "Upper" today. He did though deliver the goods.
