Unibet viser kampen står det ja. Da må man sette inn 100kr på kontoen sin hvis man ikke har penger innpå, for å sjå den. Har imidlertidig opplevd fleire gonger i år at plutselig så står der at kampen ikkje vises likevel, 1-2 min før den starta, så eg har ville ha sjekka om dei virkelig viser den før dokke bruka penga på det.

Ordet er fritt / Sv: Manager: Brian McDermott
« på: April 22, 2014, 14:32:21 »
Har støttet McDermott lenge, men i går viste han tegn til udugelighet når han satt Hunt inn i stedet for "formspiller" Smith. SPESIELT når taktikken var å slå langt opp på spissane/spissen Hunt. Nå vann Hunt nokre dueller, men denne taktikken hadde vært meir efffektiv om Smith hadde spilt. Selvfølgelig lett å si i ettertid, når man såg hvor mye farligere det ble når Smith kom inn i 2.omg, men dette burde manageren sett i forkant...

Jeg hadde et inntrykk av at McDermott hadde en spillende filosofi, men med unntak av i fjor feb/mars, så har vi sett svært lite til dette.

Som Ronny Deila så godt sa det: "Man skal spille seg til opprykk, og kjempe for å unngå nedrykk". I dette tilfellet er det motsatt. Vi har sparka langt, noe som har resultert i en svært skuffende sesong...

Måtte neste bli bedre.

Ordet er fritt / Sv: Hvem blir ny manager?
« på: April 08, 2014, 11:00:17 »
Min favoritt til å bli den neste manageren, når den tid kjem, er Roberto Di Matteo.

Dersom Farnan og Cellino ikkje får samarbeide hvis Cellino får nei, så er vel dette det største hintet om at det blir ja? Hvis ikkje så er det vel ingen vits i å snakke?

MC “You see, have you, have you seen, I didn’t make the season tickets this year? Have you seen? Have you noticed?
TNS “Yeah”
MC “I worked there I said, no season ticket. Why [we have to rush?] Do the supporters get season ticket in February, its not fair. The season ticket you have to sell in May when they know which division we’re doing. When we’re going to tell them what we’re doing. When we’re going to buy back the stadium because the stadium belongs to Leeds, not to the f**king people that ‘s threatening our stadium. Then we start the season ticket. In May. I no, I never did season ticket in February. What we should do that? And they told me, “because we don’t have the money to pay wages”, I’say ‘I pay the wages’ but we don’t pay the season ticket, OK?
They was going to selling McCormack to Cardiff, for £4,000,000. I stopped them, I said I don’t sell. A nice player, we shouldn’t sell.[unintel] … only one boot [unintel] we’re selling that. .
TNS “yeah”
MC “We’re selling it”
TNS “So you stopp….”
[crosstalk]
TNS “You stopped the transfer?”
MC “Yes. Call McCormack. Ross. I tell him. The 31st of January, he came in Leeds, OK, 5 o’clock in the afternoon. He came to talk with me, to ask me to be transferred to Cardiff for four million pound. I told him, “Get the f**k out of here, I don’t sell anyone,. Go to train yourself”
TNS {laughs} Go on Massimo, good man. Good man.
MC {excitably] Its all good. Its all good. [unintel] Its like if you have a bar, [or a pub?] and you sell your refrigerator to buy the beer. Where you f**king put the beer if you don’t own a refrigerator any more? [Unintel] the assets of the team [unintel] …. All the wages that they pay, that’s investment, that’s [unintel] because they’re the guys that make us laugh, that make us enjoy. The players, the good ones. Why you have to… I sell the bad ones, the good ones, I keep.
TNS “Haha. Yeah that’s um… so..”
MC “Listen, its not difficult. It’s very simple. It’s important. To say the truth. Don’t say lies. To don’t say bullshit to the fans. [I?} need a lot of f**king love. You know. And their energy. And Leeds has got a lot of f**king energy. Cause when I got there, the 18th January, for the first time, I saw the match. The lost One to Zero. On the last minute. OK? ”
TNS “Yeah”
MC “And I was there, I saw the fans, with the f**king club, they stink of shit so big, with 30,000 people watching the match. And lost. And singing. Everybody [unintel] What the f**k is that? That’s Championship. A f**king team like that. [Unintel] I dream in my mind, can you imagine I bring good players , we win, become Premier League how good can be? You know? That’s my dream
TNS “Thank you Massimo, you…”
{crosstalk}
MC “… hurt me so much. My friend. And don’t give up. Tomorrow I think we’re going to win. Because, they don’t have a chance. I put them with the back on the floor. They can not roll away. If they want to say that I’m not allowed to go there, unfortunately, Leeds go to bankrupt. If Leeds go to bankrupt [unintel] I take him to the court. To the [unintel] court. They go to the jail, because they been ripping off the f**king fans everyone. With [unintel], with the stadium, with the [privy?] centre, with insurance, with the f**king Virgin Island company, Cayman Island company. They…You know ,they bought a player last year….”
TNS “Which player”
MC “From League One. I don’t remember his name. And they paid, the player, one million and a half. From League One. And they give him £22,000 a week. f**k me! He wages was thousand seven hundred pounds a week, they give him £22,000 a week. From League One. Are you f**king crazy?
TNS “Mad”
MC “They bought a forward, they called Hunt, I remember his name, Hunt. From Reading. That’s the club where used to play McCormack, you remember? Where used to coach McCormack? This player is being borrowed at one million eight hundred thousand pounds. He’s got £25,000 a week.
[Unintel]
TNS “I know, it’s ridiculous. Luke Murphy”
MC [Unintel (and very excitable] Who put the money? The fans? Season tickets, errr, matchday ticket, err jersey. All the shit. GFH, they never put one f**king pound. “
TNS “One pound”
MC “Never. Nothing. Ever. No money. Just debt, debt, debt”
TNS “How much money have you given GFH?”
MC “Errr…. Less than £10M as of last night. And to the club the same.
TNS “Thanks Massimo, I think you are… I think it’s going to be a big blow if you don’t get the club”
MC “And believe me that money from me is not money come from… from rubbish. That’s money that belong to my company. For a long time. Is true money. I did that with a good purpose. Believe me.
TNS “Thanks Massimo, I think you’re great”
MC “I hope so. Thank you”
TNS “So um, good luck tomorrow Massimo.
MC “OK, don’t worry. Ciao”
TNS “I really hope you get the club”
MC [unintel]
TNS “Will you get the club tomorrow? One last question, will you get the club tomorrow?”
MC “I beg your pardon?”
TNS “Will you get the club tomorrow? Will you win?”
MC “Yeah”
TNS “Yes?”
MC “In fact, what I think, I think that unfortunately I’m going to win. You know why I say unfortunately? Because I’m just buying a lot of work, a lot of debt, and I don’t doubt that. But never mind, I engage I can walk out, you know?”
TNS “You can turn us into a great team Massimo. Come on
Massimo. Believe in yourself
MC “Oh the team is-a shit. It’s a great club. It’s a great club. The only thing thats worth in the club, the only thing that [unintel] in the club, are the fans. They don’t own even one pair of t-shirt, they don’t.. they have nothing. The fans are the more important thing in the club. Because the people that going round the background they don’t understand , the only thing that… the treasure in Leeds… are the fans. Where do you f**king get the club that’s taking a [rip?] like that with twenty five thousand people going to see their match. Where else in the world? Where?
[Unintel] that love the f**king club. Its not [unintel] so there is no money to buy that. You can buy club with a lot of money, big stadium, big players, but if you don’t have the fans… who you play for? {unintel] you play for yourself. You don’t buy fans my friend. The people that don’t have familiarity with soccer they don’t understand where are the really assets. The only asset nobody can take you that is worth a lot, a fortune, there’s no money to buy, are the fans. You don’t buy the fans. Never.”
TNS “[unintel] crosstalk
MC “Worldwide. The fans, they’re not for sale. They are feelings, you don’t buy feelings. You can buy a bitch, for one night, but you don’t buy the love, my friend. And there’s a lot of love for the club. That’s more important, big than you can reali.. you are never alone [unintel] … you have always company.”
TNS “OK. Umm, thank you Massimo. I think that’s all I um.. you’ve cleared that all up there”
MC “I hope you’re a nice guy. I felt so with you. I shouldn’t talk with you , I don’t know what you’re going to do. Anyway I talk with you what I think
[crosstalk]
TNS “OK, that’s no problem, I think err, good luck tomorrow Massimo”
MC “OK, thank you”
TNS “Thanks very much, goodnight”

The only one that bring money there and is able to work in the club, that’s me, and they’re kicking me out like a thief. Do you realise what they’re doing? Why are they doing that? Why?

MC “Well we got to win… we…. Listen, there is no one, unfortunately, is going to buy the club. No-one, for zero pounds, no one is coming there. Because is a bunch of theifs this club. Not the fans.

Friday night David was dinner with Ken Bates. Can you imagine? ”

TNS “Yeah I agree Massimo”
MC “And I tell…[unintel] I tell GFH, “Kick him out” because [unintel] and the didn’t, didn’t want to kick him out, because he’s blackmailing even Ken Bates.
TNS “Yeah. What about McDermott? Would you sack him?”
MC “Who?”
TNS “Brian McDermott”
MC [Unintel] “I tell you something. You remember the first thing that I done when I came here? In Leeds? I sack him. Because he came [unintel] I said, listen my friend I’m the owner here, I come to this situation, I said, “Listen my friend, I’m the owner here, I want a coach, not a manager, I manage the club” [unintel] me? You work with me, he [unintel} no I don’t give a f**k. So I tell him ‘Charles.., Brian, get the f**k out of here. And we won 5 to 1. OK? I have the balls to do it, and we won 5 to 1. And GFH took him back. I bought seven players [unintel] sign the contract with players, with my money, not with GFH’s money. They didn’t sign the players.OK? I pay the wages, I pay the accounts, the debt to Andrew Flowers the f**king arsehole [unintel] Leeds, and they tell me Leeds, {unintel] that there was a welcome man there. And what’s happened my friend? You see with your eyes. The League, the league want truth, whose going to run the club, how much you going to pay, [unintel] .. you must be joking
And what about the Leeds fans? Forget the money and the law, but the Leeds fans? Who’s going to give back the passion? Listen, I’ve been running twenty three years a club. I know what it is to be fans. To be love a club. I was a fan before of my team in Italia When I came to Leeds they told me [unintel] the f**king team. I love it. I love the fan, with the shirt, with the jersey, to the match, everybody was singing a song. Everybody was…. With a shit.. f**king shit team. You got a shit [Unitel] The worst team I ever saw in my life. You have a coach that maybe is a good coach, but he doesn’t know to manage a club, and players. He get.. he’s always on television complaining about money, complaining about market, what does that f**king work with the players. That talk. You just good talking with the f**king television. Shut your f**king mouth. Go to work.”
“I try to help him but I couldn’t because they don’t let me. They don't let me even go into training centre [unintel] If they accept me tomorrow, if I go back to Leeds I just do that before my engagement, because I engage, publicly. If not I will never know how they could lose all the money because there’s a bunch of evil snakes there. But if I go there, I promise to you that I kick the arse of everyone there. From the first to the last I don’t give a f**k. Not the players, or the journalists, or the f**king public, … err…. err.. PR, television, radio, I don’t give a f**k. I don’t talk with television or radio. Have you noticed that? I don’t [read?] television, I don’t watch television. I don’t read papers. I don’t give a bloody damn. I know what I’m doing….”
TNS “so you….”
MC “…with my soul, with myself. That’s my way to work. OK. If they accept me tomorrow, believe me, [unintel] in fact I got to be f**king [unintel] Unfortunately, I got to work a lot, but I expect from the club a lot of work. I don’t want money from the fans. They already pay enough, too much the fans.
TNS “yep”
MC “OK?
TNS “So you…”
MC “Too much. They get ripped off. You don’t need money you need some money cause Ken Bates steal your money that’s the problem.
TNS “Yeah. Are you gonna sack, are you going to sack McDermott?”
[pause]
MC “Can I tell you friend, I think that’s the last of our problems. McCormack has got seven year contract. Of £700,000 a year. Plus [prizes?], car, television. And the coach, more or less are all the same. I had so many coaches you know earlier. If he wants to work with me, if he’s going to do the right thing, and I believe that he can, that he can run the team, why should I throw money from the window. OK? If I realise that he’s not good for the team, I have to sack him. I don’t give a f**k. For the team, I work for the team not for myself. But I can tell you something, I don’t like.. I didn’t like him… I don’t understand him very much. I’m from Italy you know, he is Irish. I don’t know very much the people. He seems very strange guy, but he’s not a bad person. The only thing that came out, that he still paid from Reading £800,000 a year, and he’s paid for three years from Leeds £700,000 per year.plus prizes. That is…
And if I [unintel] how would he resign? Who are they staying there. They don’t pay the wage, the don’t buy the players.. and still complain on television, still complain on television. Resign and get the f**k out of here, true or not?”
TNS “Right, I understand Cellino. I can tell you’re angry right now. You don’t, are you not confident then, you’re not going to get the club?”
MC “No, my friend. Unfortunately I’m worried they’re going to give me the club because I tell you what I’m playing with my friend. If they don’t give the club to me, then the club will go bankrupt because nobody take the club even for free. It’s a dangerous club, it’s expensive club. It’s a big club. It’s not a little club you can run with a couple of million.
TNS “Huge club”
MC “You need a lot of money. And you need, you need experience to do that. Why I came to England, from Italy? To make money, to steal money from you? NO. Because I saw that Leeds is a potential big club with a lot of beautiful fans. And I told my sons, ‘maybe here if we run Leeds how I did Cagliari I can bring into the Premier League, make {da da da da da} level with Manchester United. [Unintel] Leeds in Championship because with Cagliari, Cagliari is a little club, you can not dream that way. You know? So was my [dream?] [Unintel]
And I put a lot of money. Clean money. My money…. I don’t [have petrol?], I don’t know [place of business?] I work in cereal[ry?]. My money’s true, it doesn’t come from a.. from a bank, easy finance shit like you see these people today.I come from a serious place a [unintel] ..[ a dishonest man?] As a [contrabandier?] You think a [unintel] or person in my position is going to bring a boat in Italy to save under £80,000 [unintel]. You think I’m so stupid? Come on my friend.”
TNS “Right, how much would yo..”
[crosstalk]
TNS “What would you spend on the club if you did get it?”
MC What I would…? What I give to spend?
[crosstalk]
MC “How much I pay the club?”
TNS “yes what…”
MC “How much I pay the club?
TNS “What…. What players would you get? Would you spend loads on the team?”
MC I was, I was, I was thinking… next.. listen, If I’m admitted the club, we need…. I promise you that… Not next season, but the 15/16 we will go Premier League. Next season, I don’t know if I’m able. It’s not a matter of money. If you understand soccer, its not just a matter of money. Because also if you had… five hundred million pounds if you don’t know what to do with money you can just waste money.”
TNS “Yeah I agree”
MC You have.. you have to have the right money, and to spend in the right way. Without money you can’t do it, but, with a lot of money if you don’t know how to do it you just waste money. You throw money from the window.
TNS “Yeah”
MC “I tell you something, Leeds has got £18,000,000 of wages per year. On the players, OK?
TNS “OK”
MC “OK.”
TNS “So…”
MC “With the income of £28,000,000 per year. Eighteen million on wages. For the shit team like that! You shouldn’t spend £5,000,000 on wages not eighteen. With eighteen million on wages you can make a team that can really compete or go in Premier League. With top players. I thought from the beginning to bring Italian players, because I come from Italy and know very well Italian players, but it is wrong because I am in England. I have to get most possible English guys, or international players. Because Italian players, they are good players, but, you know , I’m Italian, they, they don’t speak English in Italy. They very hard from them go from Italy to Leeds. It’s always raining there. You know? It’s a different country. They have different meals. They have the risk to… to … to fail, you know, very easily.
So I change my mind. You need here good English players. OK? And International players. Good quality, with good skills. With the right wages. And grow a beautiful team next year to get ready the year next to go into Premier. To stay! For good! Not steal the f**king money from the people you know.”
TNS “Right”

Bournemouth i kanonform. Pottetett bakover. Spår 0 poeng, men håper på 1. Vi er underdogs og kan slå oppover.

Ross må få bedre hjelp oppe på topp, en lite mobil Smith er ikkje løsningen tror jeg. Få inn Poleon og Smith på topp og Ross bak de. Jeg ønsker også Sir Michael Brown inn!

59 sider med rykter, og uten å ha sjekket statistikk så er jeg 110% sikker på at det mest brukte ordet i denne tråden er "close".

Fakta er at 1/3 del av vinduet er gått, og vi har hverken sett ett eneste pund, eller en eneste spiller (som i alle andre januarvindu).

Vi er blitt så herjet med og dermed blitt så tykkhudet at jeg ikke engang blir opprørt for hver dag som går hvor det er close but no sigar.

Hører man fra Palace-hold så er Kebe alt annet enn close for oss.

Sorry frustrasjonen. Er blitt traumatisert av januar-vindu.
Vel, Stewart hadde medical i går så han kommer nok (men han kan miste de 4 siste ligakampene om man ikke får et unntak mht de usle 50 innbytterminuttene for Hull i ligacupen som hindrer permanent overgang).

Og i følge Adam Pope, så er det innkalt til pressekonferanse på TA i dag :)

Leeds United are expected to bring in two Premier League signings ahead of Saturday’s derby clash at Sheffield Wednesday – serving as a much-needed double transfer boost for the club.

Når en spiller som ikke er god nok for et nyopprykka Hull, blir linka til oss som en "Premier League signing" så er det bra triste greier..... Har vel ikkje PL-kamper heller....

Ã… forandre navnet på Elland Road til Red Bull Arena eller Red Bull Road eller hva det måtte være har jeg ingenting i mot, hvis dette er snakk om store penger.
Draktsponsor med Red Bull på fronten av drakta, trur eg blir stilig, MEN 

det jeg frykter er at draktfargen blir forandra til f.eks blått, rødt, grått og lignende. DA er jeg heilt i mot heile avtalen.

http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20121121/gfh-capital-to-take-over-leeds-united_2247585_2986979

Dubai-based investment bank, GFH Capital Limited has today signed the deal for the acquisition of Leeds United Football Club. The signing of this deal marks the start of a one-month transitional period in terms of full change in ownership and control of the club. Following Football League approval, GFH Capital Limited will be 100% shareholders.
The deal sees GFH Capital Limited, which has financially supported the club since entering into an exclusivity period, injecting further funds for working capital and to support Neil Warnock's intentions to strengthen the team.
GFH Capital executive David Haigh will join the board of Leeds United with immediate effect with fellow GFH Capital executives Hisham Alrayes and Salem Patel joining in December as the leadership of the club is further strengthened.
Ken Bates will remain as Chairman for a transition period until the end of the season after which point a new GFH Capital-led Chairman will take over the position and Ken Bates will become club President.
Leeds United chairman Ken Bates said: "I can confirm we have now completed all the negotiations with GFH Capital. We have completed the first part of the purchase and they will be taking over 100 per cent of the club. Meanwhile, there is a transitional period while they get to know more about the club.
"I will continue as chairman until the end of the season when I will take over as president and I look forward to sitting back and taking more time off. Neil Warnock will continue as manager with more support than the present owners have been able to give and we look forward to a smooth transition.
"One thing I can say that has benefited from the negotiations is that this six-month courtship has given GFH Capital the opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses and what needs to be supported. You can look forward to a smoother transition than we've seen at a lot of clubs.
"I'd like to thank, on behalf of Susannah and myself, the tremendous support we have received over the years, particularly over the last 12 to 18 months which hasn't been easy, but has made us more determined to see the job through."
David Haigh, Deputy CEO, GFH Capital Limited said: "After a long process of negotiations, spanning Leeds, London, Monaco, Dubai and Bahrain, it gives us great pride today, to have completed the deal for Leeds United.
"A brief but important transitional period now begins in terms of the changeover of ownership: we have today injected further funds into the club and now we look to the future and start the exciting journey to take Leeds United FC back into a prime position in English football once again.
"From a Leeds family myself and a supporter of The Whites since childhood, I know that football is at the very heart of the people of Leeds and the wider community. We want to thank all the fans in UK and around the world for their patience and support while the negotiations have been taking place. Lets now march on together, taking the club back to the Premier League as soon as possible."

Sett bort fra at noen få forum-medlemmer hadde et lite drypp i starten av august(rundt sesongstart-tid). så har ikkje denne "Den store positivitetstråden!" vært aktiv siden oktober 2011.

Sier litt om hvordan det ligger an med klubben vår.....

Huff!

Diouf on Gary Speed : Bolton Wanderers — former team-mate El Hadji Diouf

“When I stepped out of line he was the one who helped put me back on the right track. He was a positive influence on me and I respected him as much as anyone I have played with.

“When I was finding it difficult to deal with the boos that followed me everywhere he was the one who spoke to me and told me to 'stay strong.’ “He used to say to me 'they only boo you because you’re a good player. Don’t let it upset you.’ He was the nicest footballer I have known.

“On and off the pitch he was an incredible man, he was such a positive person in the dressing room, I cannot believe he has gone. I loved his kids, I knew his wife well, he always treated me like a friend, not just a team-mate.

Adam Pope:

The bidder is an off shore bank in Bahrain who has gathered a group of investors from the region. They are interested in developing the property associated with the club.The bank wants to be anonymous at the moment until the due dilligence period is over.

Denne uttalelsen fikk jeg selv (til TPN) for nesten to uker siden og videresendte den til Adam og Phil Hay i YEP. Telefonen min glødet den kvelden, men de gjorde ikke mer av det - så det overrasker meg at Adam kjører den nå.

Om dere ser Phil Hay's tweets så forteller han at svært troverdig kilde har svart ham at dette er helbom fra IAA, og det er også grunnen til at han ikke har kjørt sak på det. Av samme årsak har jeg heller ikke flagget uttalelsene før videre bekreftelser.

SA

Helt ærlig SA!  Hvis du måtte tippe på en dato når salget av klubben blir kjent, hvilken dato ville du tippet på? Og tror du det er "store" pengefolk som kommer inn?

Når du spør SA så håper jeg du spør Svend Anders og ikkje Svein-Arve for jeg har ikke peiling  ;D

I am staying in the same hotel as the Leeds players Down here in the south west. Have just said to one of the coaches that I have never been so happy with 4 signings today and he said tomorrow or Wednesday there will be some serious names coming in. I have just said we all want beckford and he turned round and said not on his wages, so don't think we will be signing. But getting very excited!!

For de som syns ditta var ei dårlig signering, så kan man snu på det; Ashdown erstatter Rachubka:)
I følge Paul Dews så er flere signeringer ventet allerede i kveld.
