I know leeds have been a shower of ***** for a few years now but I am getting really worried. This last week we sign some muppet from Millwall, then another unknown muppet from Luton, and today to top it all off we agree to sell our best player Rob Hulse.
10/1 for the title, it really should be 50/1

Welcome to the world of "football survival". As a Charlton fan we went through many a year where we had to sell all our best players and buy bargain basement and unknown players whilst trying to bring as many home grown youngsters through the ranks - all just to keep the club afloat.
Have the right board along with the right manager who know how to control the finances and who knows where you may end up in 5-10 years time.

Yep but it still hurts and unlike Charlton, Leeds are a massive club steeped in history. This ain't a pop at Charlton, they are my 2nd club but there is a difference.
We have now sunk to an ALL time low.

Acid, Im a sheff utd fan. Does this sound familiar if on a slightly smaller scale than the events that ruined your club?
We are on the verge of promotion and pay 1.7 million for Akinbiyi, our record signing
we sign a player for 1 million that the manager doesnt like and is desperate to get rid of, Horsfield.
On getting promoted we break our transfer record on Claude Davis (£3million), who was the guy marking peter crouch when he scored his hat trick against Jamaica.
We have now signed another striker for around 3 million that has not exactly set the premiership alight.
The club has worked tirelessly for years to maintain its financial footing and we then decide to spend about 9 million on that collection of players. Would that lot strike fear into any premiership team?
We need a lorra lorrra luck to survive this season.

kevin nicholls is a good signing for you.
the fans will soon warm to him very quickly because he wears is heart on his sleeve and is a tough tackler.
he is a 100% and a leader and can also play abit definetly enough for that division.
i think youl change ur tune about him very soon after seeing him play.
face it leeds are a small club now and until they get out the division always will be so required players to get them out not big name stars. if they get promoted thats when they need to be buying big again.

Horsfield is a god, worst thing Bruce ever did was sell him.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

The bloke from Milwall will prove to be a good buy.

Bout time they sacked him, really clueless and has spent loads of money on average players. Lets hope curbs comes in to save the MIGHTY Leeds! |

Ahh well. We wont go down and we wont go up. Weve only lost to the better teams so far.
Its not as bad as most people say, even the debt is just about clear.
New Manager, consolodation, then maybe promotion next year?? Easy.
Curbishley, Wise would be fine not hoddle or keegan though.

Leeds are NOT a small club now. They just got relegated, they have shit players, but they are not a small club. |
