Brilliant to see a Leeds thread on here, really doubted that there would be one.
Also went today but remember next to nothing of it really A mix of early drinking to regain match fitness ( ) and it being ridiculously warm meant that the day was a bit of a mystery.Really love going to Farsley though. Easy to get there from the Train Station with a good selection of pubs en route. Cheap. The stadium has a lovely 'old' feel to it, much better than copy and paste 'bowls' like the Ricoh Arena. Drinking on the terrace. And we usually win Add in the beautiful weather today and that's all that's needed really from football. Few rumours on Twitter (I know, I know...) that we're in for Le Fondre. On the one hand, we managed to surprise everyone with the signing of Matt Smith, nobody knew about it other than those at the club and I think that secrecy dispells the rumours. But on the other hand, it's something we're lacking desperately, a natural finisher. Talk of McCormack to Blackpool is heating up day by day and it's suspected his move may fund the hunt for Le Fondre. It's all guesswork ain't it? Think we need: Backup for Byram An old head at CB A winger on either side A natural finisher And we'll certainly be competing. |

Leeds sever all ties with Bates with immediate effect
Somebody must have broken a mirror as that's also 7 years bad luck still nothing is worse than having Bates in charge |

this isn't a random quote ,
"I shall not rest until Leeds United are kicked out of the football league. Their fans are the scum of the earth, absolute animals and a disgrace. I will do everything in my power to make sure this happens." A quote from Mr Bates - 1984 , aprill |

Story in the Guardian today with Bates giving reasons as to why he thinks he was sacked - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...cked-leeds-jet
Which if true is just more evidence as to how arrogant and out of touch he is, and how little he really cared about the club. He has basically admitted to misusing company funds. |

Main points what the senile old Git said
On July 24 Bates was told to have a board meeting But nobody turned up lol Said he hE a written agreement for 3 years for a private jet Ffs we are skint who gave him that deal, So if he had that deal signed and gfh have cancelled funds?? We will have to honour it Also we have spent 20 million on ground improvements ie ****in boxes in eesu which are never sold anyway only 3 times last year spurs, Chelsea @& Everton Which going by funds we won't be playing regular basis An nit convinced that Bates doesn't have a case, ****in hope not but the thought we have to pay a lengthy court case and so no funds to McDermott is very worrying indeed |

Aye all I really gathered from his interview is that the stupid old fart is convinced he's done nothing wrong and will probably try to take legal action against GFH. But then he's always liked taking legal action against people, he just doesn't have a good record of actually winning in recent years...at least this time he will have to use his own money and not the club's to do it!

Blimey...
http://www.leedsunited.com/news/2013...247585_3332242 Yorkshire radio being taken off air as of 6pm today! Guess it was inevitable with the recent news that BBC Leeds would be able to do match commentaries again for the coming season but it still seems strange that it's happened with like 2 hours notice... |

Buy back of ER is £15m apparently. At least 32,000 sold tomorrow, absolutely brilliant effort and a great 'up yours' to Bates. Most excited I've been for a season in a long, long time.

Great to see so much more positivity around the club in the last few weeks, with Bates gone it looks like the fans are flocking back to support the team and potential investors are lining up - just shows how detrimental his presence has been these last 8 years!
And to think he used to blame the fans for scaring investors off... |
