    Good Morning Everyone

    The dog botherers are in the Prem <yikes>

    Did they deserve it?





    Leeds have hired West Ham executive Angus Kinnear as managing director.

    Is this the start of a new era?





    Bellusci has been relegation with Serie A side Empoli on Sunday. It could be bad news for the club as it has put his permanent move to the Italian outfit into doubt.

    Would anyone here take him back?





    2m Euros if the fee Leeds have to pay for Sacko's services.

    Bargain or expensive?

    Lets be clear we are in the second tier and hiring all these highly paid execs on huge salaries is not the biggest priority, or it shouldnt be. Just more people leeching money out of the club. The only places where we should be concentrating at the minute are the areas where we are hearing **** all.

    First team coaches and first team squad. Everything else is window dressing.
    Dog botherers now want chris wood. £15mill is to be offered.

    Morning Elland..

    Morning all..

    Yes too expensive for Sacko and you would have thought get a new coach in place in case he wants to play a different system, Sacko is a specialist position, it isn't like we are signing a new CB.

    Kinnear is a great appointment and no to Bellusci, can't see him wanting to come back either.

    I wanted Reading yesterday but hearing and reading how they set out to defend and contain and looked like they were hoping for a lucky goal or penalties I'm glad they lost.

    Radz has said, he knows nothing about running a football club. He has only had 6 months to learn by the corrupt Cellino so I think a good sensible move, an appointment that has also been made to assist the purchase of ER <ok>

    Radz probably wants some advice or at least a valuable second opinion on who to appoint as a coach. Director today, new manager/coach by Friday, transfer window opens next week, we're on course..

    We might have someone lined up but awaiting their return from holiday ;)

    Morning all. I would keep Sackho. But it will all come down to who the new Manager is and the formation/style he wishes to adopt.

    Huddersfield have ripped up the normal play-off rules that dictate that the in-form team going into the play-offs will win. They were by far the worst form team going into them, yet won having scored just one goal in three play off games. Yet another example of rank outsiders winning against the odds. I'm off down the bookies to put some money on Jezza being PM.

    I thought Trump would do it, I believe Corbyn has no chance but... He is gaining voters. If the elections were another two months away he might have had a chance. I'm amazed at how much people are swaying towards him

    Morning all. All these appointments will be great if Rad has the loot required to finish the job. Im not bothered guessing so happy to wait and see what we have arriving in terms of manager and players. One thing I am sure of though is we blew a golden chance this season to win the playoffs. The four teams in them were poor, very poor, proof lack of goals in all the play off games, each and every one of them were there for the taking, we only had to fall across the line and get into them. Failed miserably and unfortunately that will always be me lasting memory of the season gone by

    Sorry but we didn't fail we were far better than I for one anticipated. A more positive approach and 3-4 good signings and well we can do this. The biggest call is the Manager. If Radz gets the right one we will be OK but needs to be done now not in July

    Morning all ... great to see Radz putting a solid management team in place, so much better than having "Directors" on the board more interested in playing Xbox and fcuking about on social media ... it is vital we get the boardroom right to give us stability, and Kinnear is a very smart move

    Sacko, like Vieira, is still a kid and improving, and he will only get better ... electric pace is one thing you can't teach, and he's got it in spades ... we seem to forget that this is a kid who came to a new country and totally different football, and had to learn about the rigours of the Championship on the fly ... I personally feel he did really well under the circumstances, and it will be brilliant if we can sign him up for at least four seasons ... he has the potential to be a big part of our future

    Bellusci will probably be allowed to leave on a free, no point in getting him back regardless of who is our new boss ... Leeds as a club has to continue moving forward, so there can be no place for Bellusci as he won't improve the team

    Agent Orange has been a disaster for the USA, and his election win proved that man has not evolved in the States ... Corbyn, unfortunately for Labour, simply has no idea and him in No.10 would be frightening for the UK

    the next financial storm on its way is the USA sub-prime market in car loans ... not going to be as huge as the housing sub-prime collapse, but it's still going to run into trillions of dollars lost ... banks are cutting their losses and moving out of car loans because of the high cost of recovering on defaults due to cars not holding value (duh) ... this is going to have a knock on effect for sure, just like the housing market did ... one thing that's guaranteed is that there will be gangsters in "finance" making a fortune on the back of this, a la The Big Short ... rock on Agent Orange

    The way May is ****ing up it looks like Corbyn will be a lot more of a threat at the ballot box.

    The tories are toxic and Mays pretending not to be one of them is wearing thin,
    40 seat majority imo, and thats not exactly a ringing endorsement.
