Great stuff, new contract for Boges following Amps and Rodon. Excellent news on all fronts and great work by the 9ers.
1.) 20 Aug 2026 11:57:35
Brenda next.
2.) 20 Aug 2026 12:22:33
Agree, we need to sort new deals for Brendan and Gruev next or sell.
No real talk of either going, so Brendan probs at the same extension. Gruev might be in line for a light increase - he's on a pittance by prem standards and is a class act off the pitch and with the lads, and is honest enough about his minutes.

100 Ealing.

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.
5.) 28 Jun 2025 17:34:20
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?

Phenominal stat. Under DF, when LUFC kick off at 7.30 or later at ER, played 48, lost 1. Its unbelievable Jeff ???.
1.) 15 Sep 2026 09:31:56
Maybe it's just an illusion, but it does seem noisier and more intimidating in the evening under the lights. Also, numbers of away supporters may be lower because of late night travel difficulties.
2.) 15 Sep 2026 10:59:20
It's always been. a better atmosphere under the lights at ER going back 20, 30. 60 years
Having said that Farke's stats/ results with Leeds under the lights are phenomenonal.
3.) 15 Sep 2026 17:44:56
On that point JR, how good was it with all the fans singing for Speedo together!
10 Sep 2026 17:03:51
Well, interesting and bizarre match last night, siblings. There are positives and negatives, of course, but blimey, that was our 5th game of the season, at a tough venue, in the cup that is, quite honestly, a pain.
I really don't think it's time to be criticising and writing off the team, various players, DF, the season lala la. Get a grip guys, we are in a very good place, imo of course!
1.) 10 Sep 2026 19:36:44
Davey, 2 wins in 5 games, still early days.
But, imo, some peeps may have overestimated how satisfactory/ good twas our summer transfer window.
Anyways, the next matches at home to Newcastle and Palace may well reveal a bit more what kind of seez we can expect.
2.) 10 Sep 2026 20:24:59
You yourself rated the window 8.5, Baz? (That's like a 10 for the rest of us!)
3.) 10 Sep 2026 20:47:49
I was one of the peeps who overestimated it, Ani.
So, yesterday I downgraded the window to a 6.5 /10. A downgrade you yourself, Ani, referenced and acknowledged in one of your posts earlier today.
Next 2 home games may well tell.
4.) 11 Sep 2026 03:13:10
And if we win them it will go to a 9.5.
5.) 11 Sep 2026 04:59:56
Nah Canada, it's remaining at 6.5.
6.) 11 Sep 2026 07:08:44
100% it will change again. You do it all the time, Baz. ?
7.) 11 Sep 2026 09:02:53
Think the key is, as Baz says, that the next two games are important, and will show us where we are at. Both are realistically winnable, so expecting 6. 4 semi acceptable. 3 and under not. I think if we can beat Newcastle it will calm my nerves a bit for the season ahead. At the moment, we have just beaten Forest.
8.) 11 Sep 2026 11:28:39
Aus, a few days ago, I was quite confident for our home matches vs Saudi Barcodes and Palace..
Not so much now.
9.) 11 Sep 2026 13:50:18
5 points from 3 games ain't that bad. Carry on like that for the whole season and we'd finish on 63 points, which last season would have had us finish 5th. Relax, everybody, there's a long way to go.
10 Sep 2026 07:03:49
Blimey, when you guys told me it was gonna be in the 30's this week I didn't realise you meant goals!
06 Sep 2026 14:27:20
Decent performance yesterday, peeps. Looked solid again at the back, created chances, just couldn't take them alas and AO so unlucky to be a gnats tadger offside. Take a point gladly. Off to sunny Corfu for a couple of weeks, all packed, 2 boxer shorts, alternate wash or turn inside out, flip flops, 1 pair shorts and 2 pair socks in case it rains, 14 Leeds tops, done.
Happy bantering dudes. ?
1.) 06 Sep 2026 14:36:28
No nudists beaches you can display your pride vid? Bloody boring Europe.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 15:21:57
I would get deported for fly tippin Aus!
3.) 06 Sep 2026 16:22:08
Forecast for Corfu 32C to 35C up to Sep 19th, don't get sunburnt, and come back red, or you might be mistaken for a Devon supporter.
4.) 07 Sep 2026 20:02:03
Don't think there will be any chance of rain. I'm Corfu, Vid - have a great time.
5.) 07 Sep 2026 22:16:50
Cheers Alf, just about to jet out to Barbati, Golden Mare Hotel, all inclusive, so I will buy ya a vino. ?
6.) 08 Sep 2026 08:26:32
More likely to surpass 40 than rain. ?
Enjoy the vino, Vid!
7.) 08 Sep 2026 10:51:57
A friend tells me that Dirty Nellies in Ipsos is a good place to see live PL football.
04 Sep 2026 14:19:04
Interesting perusing the markets. Was looking at the prices for the Golden Glove. Raya obviously is odds on favorite but JT is 66/1, a very big price given our defence! Donnarumma is 5/2, for instance. Is he and Citeh's defence that much better than us?
1.) 04 Sep 2026 15:08:50
Worth a penny vid. ?
2.) 04 Sep 2026 15:21:31
Well, guess if you fancy us to keep a few clean sheets this season, could be Aus! ?
3.) 04 Sep 2026 15:43:22
Have to consider the whole team, not just defence. Citeh's midfield will have so much ball, their defence will have less to do, so can be worse than ours and still concede fewer goals, I guess.
4.) 04 Sep 2026 16:05:25
66/1 with Bookies Davey should tell a seasoned flutterer such as you and I that Leeds United and Johnny Trafford won't be anywhere near it, so don't waste your coin. ?
Raya and Goooners likely to win it. Close second, Donna and Citeh. No one else close, imo.
5.) 04 Sep 2026 16:58:47
Prob right, Baz, but if you want a wild card bet maybe go for Martinez at Chelsea.
6.) 04 Sep 2026 17:10:42
Bloody hell, Baz and Canada. Bit of fun. Don't think penny will break vid.
And I'd put us top 7 defense, but until proven otherwise, bottom 7 attack.
7.) 04 Sep 2026 17:49:46
Well, JR, he already let 3 in the other day. Think Chelsea defence a bit suspect. JT already has 2 clean sheets, though 1 was in the cup, so don't count!
8.) 04 Sep 2026 18:59:53
Thanks for reminding me of that, Vid. Just shows that relying on me for accurate predictions is not a good idea.
29 Aug 2026 12:48:55
Nah, Waccoe, like Willy, she don't score very often.
07 Aug 2026 15:19:32
No Paxo, no party, no way. Sincerely hope this is not true, Okafor every time.
31 Jul 2026 09:19:49
Interesting that the forgotten man, Bornauw, had a good game. He could prove very useful cover for our back 3
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.
13 Sep 2026 15:08:42
Ok, Aus, to start, no two games are ever alike, such as playing Forest twice in a few days. No two teams are alike, so Hull playing Chelsea is totally different. No two sets of events are alike: decisions, luck, good play, etc. No individual player or team can play two games alike. The line ups for both teams were vastly changed.
The weather is never alike. No two reactions or decisions by players or manager are ever alike. I could go on, but you are always convicted to your opinion, so it's pointless. Baz, I really don't know why you bother supporting Leeds, except to have an argument. Your negativity is like a wet blanket, sorry, old sausage.
13 Sep 2026 12:49:51
Roasting class lol, 33 every day! Enjoy, bro. Very true Corkster, but things change, like we were on an abysmal run at the time and looked lost. Now, well, completely different story. But the main thing is, it's only 3 games. We have performed well, even in that first half against Chelsea. No penalty, different story, we get a penalty, different story. Games are so different, you cannot compare.
See where we are at the end of October, but we are on all fronts in a good place now. My main point is, being Leeds is different, it's like taking football heroin, it's in the soul, it's a family, a religion, a lifetime addiction and nothing else will do. We have all experienced many, many bad times, but that's what makes success so sweet. I cannot compare us to anyone because We Are Leeds. UTWDTP.
13 Sep 2026 11:20:52
Aus, you cannot compare the two matches imo, so many differences. Why, on a Leeds site, are people extolling other teams' performances and using them as a means to bash our boys, management, recruitment, owners, etc. We are 3 games in. We are unbeaten. We are a work in progress. I don't give a flying what other teams do, it's all about being and supporting LUFC.
