I really do hope you get a top 6 finish this season. I'm a man u fab who has lived in or around leeds for the last 22 years or so.

Cellino needs to sell and needs to sell now. No more selling to consortium and millionaire's, the club needs to be with the fans.

It's difficult one because nobody really knows how much
GFH/cellino actually own I believe that Any selling decision has to be made with GFH approval God only knows how much they (GFH ( still. Own .

Have we finally found a striker who can score a Goal out of nothing and in the 89th minute too early days yes but he looks a snip at 2 million

Not the best of starts to the season, to put it mildly.

We need a lot more signings (across the squad), but we aren't spending a lot of money and we are selling our best players (due to various reasons). We recently sold Cook for £6 million rising to £10 million. Byram was sold for £3.7 million in January. Also McCormack for £11 million back in 2014. Not too surprising we don't finish higher than mid-table.

I know it's still early days, but there is a lot of work to be done.

We got a virtually new team & manager it will take time but how long he will get under the madman is another matter entirely.

That's the thing with the owner, there's no time to build for any coach at the club. 'New team & manager' was used exactly this time last season.

The positive side, is our youth academy and the players that have been brought through since 1994.

Unfortunately any players decent enough don't want to stay
Byram., cook.& Taylor who will.remain gone sooner rather then later. Coyle phillips & bailey.peacock Farrell will.be gone within year or two

I understand some players wanting to go - due to moving up a division and bigger wages *but* the young players leaving aren't on long-term contracts, so not much of an incentive to stick around. I also feel that we are selling them for not that much, going off current transfer fees in football. For example, Cook should have gone in the region of £12 - £15 million (that's if he wanted to go).

Cook waa always going to go from. Last January onwards
After byram went. Taylor wants to go and by all accounts was totally disintersted yesterday but it's different situation with him as he out if contact on January 1st so.can't see anybody paying over odds for him in premier league that is

Watched the highlights from yesterday about hour a go and both Birmingham goals were awful from.our point of view
Defence is still awful.and a 35 year old keeper I too slow
For a hard championship season

How many games will the manager last?

I really do think leeds have one of the best managers in the league and one of the best Young managers in British football.

Having said that though I can only see cellino giving him till September or 6 league games before getting rid.
If results don't start turning around then I'm afraid it's another season of change at leeds

The contract he signed in May 2015 was only for two years. No wonder he ended up leaving.

Combining Cellino's time at Cagliari and Leeds, a head coach lasts for an average of just over six months.

Last year, Rosler lasted until 19th October. The first two league games were draws.

Monk will have to start doing well soon, that is for sure.

Was pleased with his post match comments saying we were dreadful in 2nd half in Saturday and No one he a comfort zone anymore
Good to hear that but he needs action not v words and that only happens on pitch

A good start to the new Under-23s League - a 5-2 win against Coventry City.

Big result as it was it's only 3 points
Onwards and onwards hopefully

Great weekend again! Another 3pts and always nice to see the 'spending one' fail. Even better when I'd heard he'd been sent to the stands

As for our game we looked decent in the second half. Carrying a fair bit of confidence on from our win in the week. Was nervous about playing Burton today as they've proved to be a decent team so far. Up to 9th and a point off the playoffs. I don't like being to optimistic as a Leeds fan but I'm starting to enjoy it again.

Agree and having just watched Norwich on the football league show and their horror defending I be confident of getting someting next week my only worry atm is the loans of Bartley & Jansan the fact that all.this is without our captain too is even better
Long may it contuine

Best partnership we've had in a long time. Sadly with our owner in charge I don't see us keeping hold of them. Jansson can't have too many games left for us now?

I think Torino would be pretty keen to cash in on him. He's a brilliant defender in this league and his style clearly is better suited to the English game than it is to The Italian style.

I'm sure other clubs will be looking at him but given the choice I think he'd be happy to stay with us. He seems to get the club and fits that cult hero status that us fans are looking for.

Looking like our home tie with Newcastle is going to be a sell-out!!

Must be the first time since we were relegated from the premier league? Shame we don't have sell outs every week
