Harrison to Rangers, now that rumour I like and hope is true. Always good to have a buddy to take your trash out for you.
1.) 27 Jun 2025 16:17:59
Vid ?????.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 18:54:56
Vid, Is there anyone in Rangers current squad that we might be looking at as a swap deal?
A bit of 49er's internal business?!
3.) 28 Jun 2025 05:30:58
Raskin. Can't see this though as Rangers unlikely to cover Harrison's £90k per week wages.
4.) 28 Jun 2025 12:59:59
Cheers Alf,
Certainly is a problem.
One that Jack would probably fall over and try and claim he'd been pole axed!
MOT.

49ers cross subsidising his wages alf?

Being reprted on news now that Hockaday and Lewis have been sacked
05 Jun 2014 19:00:08
Well, if all the reports on NN are to be believed its a 3 horse race on saturday, an I don't mean the Derby. Personally I think Gary Mac would make a great coach, managing was too great a task for him I think, but that's just me ;)
1.) 05 Jun 2014 19:45:09
I think out the 3 rumoured names (Hughton, Hockaday and McAllister) I would go with McAllister although I also think Paul Hart would be a good shout.
2.) Do people really rate gary mac? do I miss something? brought some great players to the club as scout but tactics were off, results were poor and motivation was none exsistant. what am I missing? all I remember is poor league results and our darkest moment with the club losing in first round of fa cup to non league opposition. scout yes anything else no thanks 100's of better coaches out there
3.) Wouldn't want any of the 4 mentioned above. My choice would be a proven young manager ready to step up to a bigger club. Step forward Eddie Howe.
4.) Agree totally
{Ed003's Note - this was in reply to Bermondsey btw.}
5.) We played sexy football under him according to many FL pundits. i'd love to have him back. We were without Beckford that dark dark day remember. He'd scored about 5 that day
6.) All the names mentioned don't seem good enough to me. Gary Mac no, hockaday definitely not, the Eddie Howe shout would be good though. But prob not going to be one of the 3 being seen. If I had to choose of the 3 though it would be Chris houghton! Roll on sat!
7.) 05 Jun 2014 21:00:40
Howe is a manager not a coach and the only place he is proven is at Bournemouth. He didn't set the world light at Burnley.
{Ed003's Note - He was shocking there but to be fair that team that went up was mainly his signings.}
8.) Eddie Howe or Chris Hughton
9.) 05 Jun 2014 21:19:47
So the fact that virtually same squad that Howe had got promoted should tell you everything you need to know about Howes coaching ability!
10.) Didnt realise Macca was a scout for Leeds? Just thought he was a good coach who needed a top defensive coach alonside him to get us up. And how can people say he can't motivate players is beyond me. what are they in the dressing room as well! MOT.
11.) Corkwhite, I was not in the dressing room but I did see what happened on the pitch which was in my opinion, lack of passion lack of disire, lack of skill and lack of basic ideas (how many times did we conceed the same goal under Gary Mac? every time ball was in the air in our box we conceded which would suggest bad coach as well?) loved him as a player and seems a nice bloke but coach? manager? not for me think I could name 100 people I would rather get the job
12.) OK Bermondsey I hear what you saying. Bad goals conceded from coners etc were very poor under Macca for a time but I also remember under Wilko a similar situation when the opposition got a corner a goal was on its way in one particular season. Also think about it. under Bates he literally had no cash to spend. Think Huntingdon as number 1 CB! . It just amazes me some folk seem convinced others are well suited for the job with little or no reason! Howe. done very liitle. Clarke. even less. Hughton or Mackay I could take. But give me an ex Leeds player who knows his stuff. and I believe Macca does. I will take him all day him long. Gary Mc is in the running I believe and is probably the best man for the job as the BOSS wants a British coach and he is, I believe, a good coach. MOT.
13.) To be fair, with Cellino in charge, all 3 will be coach at some point in the season
14.) You make a good point about wilko Corky. I rated wilko as one of the best in the world at that time but I do remember that season (Sadly). I also agree some are bounding about managers with little to back it up. If I was MC (id be very happy) but I would go for Kenny Jacket or Malky Macky. Both know the league both good with money and good coaches and get the best out of the squad. But then I am not a bonkers Itailan who wants to be in charge of signings, which raises the point if his signings do badly will he sack himself as I am sure he didn't sack many managers in Italy so it is not like he passes the blame is it?

Well, doesn't look like Forest are too worried about Thursday, karma coming for Vile hopefully. It is one of life's beautiful ironies that all those Spam fans, who have been rather derogatory about us, next Monday are gonna be Leeds supporters. All love to hate us, but occasionally, they hate to love us. We win for nobody except ourselves, suck it up sausages.
1.) 04 May 2026 17:39:23
We got a pretty bad recent record at Spuds.
With the recent Spuds momentum, they will be favourites to beat us and then Chelsea, imo.
We are really relying on Goonners beating West Ham.
2.) 04 May 2026 17:57:19
Lol Baz, I do have to wonder sometimes if some on here have any faith in our boys, we aint relying on anyone except ourselves. We had a bad record at OT, did we not?
3.) 04 May 2026 18:04:45
Very true, Davey, about our record at OT, and our very welcome, pleasant, surprising win there this season.
I hope we smash Spuds. Another pleasant surprise.
4.) 04 May 2026 18:06:40
Vidlufc, me old mate. Some just see it a different way, perhaps. We think more than some, who knows. It's all fun being a Leeds supporter. ?
5.) 04 May 2026 18:12:29
Baz, Spurs have a terrible record against Chelsea with one win in 88 games, or thereabouts.
6.) 04 May 2026 19:04:05
1 win in 88, Corky???
Chelsea defo have a good record vs Spuds in past ten games..
But would you bet on this current Chelsea side to beat Spuds or any side for that matter. ?
And correct stats are:
H2H 180 matches.
Chelsea have won 82 matches.
Spuds have won 55 matches.
Draw 43 matches.
7.) 04 May 2026 20:51:26
Last thirty games, Chelsea have won 18 and Tottenham 5. Nuff said.
8.) 04 May 2026 21:05:52
Cork, got a feeling Baz wants Spurs to avoid relegation and beat us on the way also!
Wtf.
9.) 04 May 2026 22:09:43
Not at all, OP! I hope we smash Spuds!
10.) 05 May 2026 07:41:46
Well, it's unlikely we'll smash them, Baz, since, as you've already posted, we are not favorites and can't win in London. Let's hope for a miracle then.
11.) 05 May 2026 08:04:34
Hope vs expectation.
12.) 05 May 2026 13:59:04
We aren't doing all that badly ourselves for momentum, Baz.
02 May 2026 16:09:42
Well, the only questions remaining are how high can we go and who are we going to relegate. Magnificent season from the boys. Trust in the recruitment people, they proved themselves this season, Stach, Okafor, JJ, Gabby, DCL, Bijol, 6 big hits out of 10 recruited. I am sure they will do us proud this market. Off to the beach ???.
1.) 02 May 2026 16:47:16
Yep, Davey, those 6 players have been great. ? Okafor, especially 2nd half of season.
Loving the Brentford 3 vs West Ham scoreline.
2.) 02 May 2026 18:07:27
Gabby - player of the season, hopefully he's not pulled away from us next season.
3.) 02 May 2026 20:14:23
Hope Forest go down! Their owner seems like a proper tit. In saying that, I don't really care, because we are staying up!
4.) 02 May 2026 20:26:27
Forest will stay up. They've too much quality, and Wood is back, which makes them even better. We need a 20-goal-a-season striker like him next season. Re Gabby. He's on a long contract, so if he does go, it will be for big bucks.
I'd rather he stays, but eventually it will be down to the player. If his head is turned, then it's difficult to keep him, but he won't come cheap.
5.) 02 May 2026 20:55:39
Seems a lot of peeps on here think Gabby is player of the season..
Not sure why. Defensively, he is suspect.
6.) 02 May 2026 23:49:28
100 % agree. Not even a goal or an assist in the league all season, a few great runs, but no end product. Don't get me wrong, he has been good, but not player of the season for me either.
7.) 03 May 2026 00:14:25
Absolutely, Dec.. not even in my top 5 LUFC players of the season.
8.) 03 May 2026 05:45:11
Stach for me, closely followed by DCL.
9.) 03 May 2026 06:52:09
Good shout, Davey. ? Stach's stats are impressive.
For me it's DCL 1st.
Closely followed by Rodon, Stach and Amps in 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
Then Okafor and Darlow 5th and 6th in my top six.
10.) 03 May 2026 08:02:50
For me, there hasn’t really been one very clear outstanding player of our season.
I would give all our players Player of the Season, as they have all done extremely well, and, more importantly, played as a complete and unified team.
They have all played for each other. We don’t have a team of individual superstars, just hard-working, non-egotistical players who believe in their individual qualities, and, most of all, as a team.
11.) 03 May 2026 10:33:07
Absolutely, agree, OP. What we recruited were not expensive superstars, but solid, honest players that had to be the right fit to ensure our biggest weapon, unity. The spirit that DF has cultivated is paramount to what we have achieved. Doubtless there will be speculation about other clubs poaching players, but why would any of them leave? More dosh, I guess, but I would hope some things are more than that, such as an environment you love and enjoy and have an opportunity to grow and achieve with teammates you have a bond with.
Maybe not though. ??
26 Apr 2026 12:37:19
Well, i dunno how the boys are feeling, but i am on me third pair of boxers.
26 Apr 2026 10:22:40
Happy Sunday siblings. So the White Knights once again ride into town, as others have said let's hope for a performance that makes us proud, regardless the result, though I am confident and ain't cashed me bet out. ?? Enjoy and be safe wherever you worship today. UTWDTP to writing more history. Up and at 'em boys from the off.
1.) 26 Apr 2026 11:09:14
Just got Radio Leeds on there, saying Wembley Way is awash with Leeds colours. Hardly any Chelsea!
Up The Whites Down The Pints. ???
2.) 26 Apr 2026 11:35:37
Leeds United fans taking over Wembley.. Love it.
25 Apr 2026 18:03:34
Jeez, come on guys, we have 40 points and 4 games to go. On a roll and unbeaten in 7 with an opportunity to win the FA Cup. It's all good. Our destiny is in our hands. We can do nothing about other results and desperately hoping others lose is totally pointless. Believe people, our team does.
1.) 25 Apr 2026 18:44:38
Cmon Vid, don't tell me you wouldn't have been delighted if Spurs n Hammers lost today?
It's all very well saying it's in our hands, but life, unfortunately, rarely works out that way.
I wonder, do DF and the players know today's results? God damn right they do!
2.) 25 Apr 2026 18:47:27
Totally agree with Vid. There were bound to be twists and turns at the end of the season, and likely that other teams hit a bit of form. However, we've been on a good run over the last month or so as well, so, looking at the league standings at the moment, and the last four fixtures for the four in the zone, I know who'd I like to be.
It's a team in white. I think Forest are too strong to go down, and now Wood is back, they should have enough to stay up. As Vid said, "Our destiny is on our hands." West Ham and Spurs can scrap it out between them.
3.) 25 Apr 2026 19:17:34
Don't like Saints, but felt a tad for them in their spirited defeat to Citeh.
West Ham winning.. Spuds winning.
Not a good day of results.
4.) 25 Apr 2026 19:22:35
The thing is, Davey, those uber annoying, from a Leeds perspective, wins for West Ham and Spuds have considerably ramped up pressure on Leeds for the next match vs Burnley.
It's an absolute must win game for Leeds United!
5.) 25 Apr 2026 19:25:29
Baz, fear taints and destroys, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
6.) 25 Apr 2026 19:46:06
Not getting involved with these hyper panic posts. No, it's not over yet, but I'd rather be us than Spurs or West Ham.
For fans who believe in the Leedsy nonsense, that is exactly what needs to be eradicated from the mentality of some fans of Leeds Utd.
It does nothing for our club, and only serves to wind up other fans.
I don't understand why any fan would want to invite failure?
7.) 25 Apr 2026 20:04:18
OP, I don't think any of us would invite failure (my X discluded) . This is banter, and some of us are just a bit nervous. Yes, it's in our hands, so a nice thumping of the Clarets would set us all at ease.
8.) 25 Apr 2026 20:14:15
1000% CA.
9.) 25 Apr 2026 20:47:24
CA, for me, it's not just nervous banter, it's being a WUM.
I think any reasonable Leeds United fan could already see, after our last result, another three points would seal our safety.
So, for some on this forum to now bleat out, those who think we are already safe, think again!
That's just plain and simple winding up other fans, and it's not necessary.
If that's all that can be contributed on this forum right now, then I find it not only annoying but very sad.
As I already said, I'm not joining in with this BS.
{Ed001's Note - then stop whining and scroll past. Stop trying to tell everyone how to think and what to post.}
10.) 25 Apr 2026 22:12:14
Well said Ed!
Opti is a proper Karen!
11.) 26 Apr 2026 02:12:05
I look at it this way.
1. Spuds managed a shady 1:0 against a team we put 3 past last week, and will find it hard to get 6+ points from their remaining games.
2. Sham are very likely to lose to Arsenal, and would need to win 2 of their other 3 remaining games to get to where we are.
I don't say we're safe yet, but I'd rather be where we are.
12.) 26 Apr 2026 08:00:18
I for one see OP's pov, and empathise with it. If he's a Karen, then it's right and fair for others to be labelled as wums too.
However, there is one simple fact here, and that is that we were never out of the mix, as we still have to play Spuds and Spam anyway.
It does, as Baz said, ramp up the importance of our little match vs Burnley which could make those games dead rubbers!
13.) 26 Apr 2026 08:12:32
Ed001 100%agree
17 Mar 2026 14:38:03
Lol, wrong Gray GS.
25 Feb 2026 12:46:39
Trouble is, MoT, if we sell players like that, we are ripping up a recipe for success. It's so hard to recruit the right players who complement each other, and if some go, the whole thing is broken.
It doesn't matter how much dosh you get, you cannot replace that combination. Buying big does not guarantee it's going to work. We simply must keep the core of what makes us tick.
25 Feb 2026 11:57:48
I would hope the days of us selling our gems are over. If we want to establish ourselves, we have to keep the foundations of the side: Amps, Stach, Bijol, Boges, Gabi, Okafor, DCL, Rodon, Okafor, etc.
04 Feb 2026 14:47:58
I guess as usual opinions and views are divided by individuals perceptions and wishes. The media certainly does not help. For example, some were very disappointed and angry at the lack of incoming. Dome expected it on past performance. Some, like me, are quite happy.
My reasoning being, as I have stated before, I don't like January signings, they rarely work, involve players that are available for a reason and are hugely inflated prices. It takes time to integrate and there are limited games left and finally incoming can disrupt the unit.
It was well advertised by the club we were unlikely to add unless it was a too good to miss opportunity. DF likes a tight squad and let's face it this squad has proved they can compete, everyone was happy in December! I believe it will be fine and the bonus is we will have more funds in the summer.
03 Dec 2025 15:05:59
Problem with Jan signings is they rarely work Alf, Gio being a good example. Thing is most decent players are not available, the ones that are, well, they are usually surplus for a reason. Would like the Russian striker tho, can't remember his name, but he suggested he would be open to a move in the winter.
06 May 2026 12:12:33
Well, Baz, in the words of the great Chris, that's unbelievable, Jeff! Though I did, at the start of the season, recommend Wet Spam at 6/1 to be relegated.
06 May 2026 11:49:41
What OP said. Don't bother with the click bait, guys, out of the blue is more likely. The only 2 well-advertised early as top targets were Bijol and Stach. Good jobs there.
04 May 2026 17:57:19
Lol Baz, I do have to wonder sometimes if some on here have any faith in our boys, we aint relying on anyone except ourselves. We had a bad record at OT, did we not?
04 May 2026 11:37:52
Think the writing is on the wall, C&J, where on earth are Wet Spam getting enough points to survive, let alone all the teams above them losing all theirs as well. They are gone imo.
04 May 2026 07:41:03
Don't be a pickle, White. I despair. Alternatively, we breach the 50 point barrier and it really doesn't matter what other teams do, it's all about the mighty Leeds. ?
