Leeds United

[SilverFox]

Just wanted to start a thread saying how utterly irritating I find them to be. They were over 100 million pounds in debt, which fair enough was cleared in large chunks by selling off their better players, but despite still being 20+ million in debt they were still able to bid for every player available (Healy for example). And what do they get out of it all...bailed out!

Clubs like Leicester have to go through administration, have transfer embargos slapped on them and come within hours of going out of buisness, but Leeds United can carry on spending despite the fact that they were on the brink. And there is always some multi million pound crony to come along and bail them out. Why? Because they are a 'big club'. Why exactly are Leeds United bigger than us? What makes them extra special, because they certainly owe a lot more than we do. Yet there is no white knight on a beautiful white steed to save us from admin or any problem we have ever had. Leicester City have to walk alone, and we are still not worthy of being a 'big club'. Hell, even Brum now think they are big.

Sorry for this thread. It is just a bitter drunken rant. Leeds P*** me off something rotten, and I just wanted to share it. I hate the fact that they were reckless, and despite the fact that they were on the brink they still hadn't learnt their lesson and were buying players like Healy. I think it totally wrong that they should not suffer any consequence for their recklessness.

Yes, the same could be argued of Leicester, but we had to pay in the respect that we are still paying the money back. Our payments were restructured and we went into administration. Administration that we are still paying for on and off the pitch. Leeds just had the slate wiped clean today and will suffer no consequence or ill effect of their recklessness.

I just think that is wrong!

leeds are going into admin mate. their chairman says its defo, so they are getting a nice 10 point deduction. that puts them in the relegation so you will get your say.

Ken Bates has bought a majority share or something in them today, gave 'em something like £10 million which I think saves them from admin.

And I agree, I hate how everyone seems to sympathize with Leeds and there are loads of people willing to buy the club. They'll probably come out of this with loads of money.

Leeds piss me right off too. Would love to see them in admin. At the moment no real 'big' club has been into admin, it would help people realise what a painful process it is.

Bates is rumoured to be lining Dennis Wise up for the Managers job as well,they belong with each other.. pair of wankers.

I have the misfortune of having to work with a few leeds fans and they confirm everything that i feel about that club. Arrogant beyond belief , and sadly racist .
I remember being at filbo listening to their fans in full volume singing about " your just a town full of pa***"
Sad bastards . Its not hard to see why people hate them.

all this talk of ken bates has reminded me of the time when we played chelsea in the fa cup when that diving norwegian got a penalty, and o'neil called ken bates a cretin

I remember the week after the 2 fans got killed in Turkey they shouted abuse at Muzzy Izzet. He isn't even Turkish for f*** sake he was born in London!!

i thought that was Everton fans..........they were widely criticised by the media and their club for the minority who acted like prats.

Well our colleagues in the Leeds United Supporters Trust (LUST) are hardly delighted at the news - taken from the Mirror

"John Boocock, chairman of the Leeds United Supporters' Trust, said: "My mother has just rung me and asked should we laugh or cry and I told her to cry.

"We wouldn't want him to come to Leeds as a visiting director, let alone become our new chairman.

"He's an old man who should stay at home and look after his garden. If he wants a bit of excitement he can go to bingo or take his wife to WI meetings.

"Bates is just a carpet-bagger who will buy any club that will have him in the hope that he can get back his seat on the FA.

"This just shows how little chairman Gerald Krasner and his colleagues know when it comes to Leeds United and the fans. They are just in this for whatever they can get themselves."

Im pretty sure Leeda actually formed a new company (much like we did) but did so without going into admin. By forming the new company the wiped some of their debts. This is basciuaclly what we were accused of doing (but never actually did!!)

Leeds get a lot of media support and smpathy ect... evevn though they're a lot worse trha we were. Ultimatly they overspent to the highest degree and now they have no concequences...seems unfair.

Leeds is a pile of wank.

I also remember when O'Neill called Bates a footballing cretin. Spat my biscuits all over the wall when I saw that. HAHAAHAA!
