Good Morning Everyone The EFL board meeting will reconvene today to discuss possible sanctions against Leeds Utd over Spygate All we know is that they have already implied that Leeds are in breach of its club charter and regulation 3.4, which requires clubs to act in “good faith” towards each other. So - what's the punishment going to be? Whatever it is, we should learn our fate this afternoon! Bamford starts tomorrow according to Phil Hay, yet during the Presser yesterday Bamford declared that he is not yet fully fit! Speaking at the presser, the ex Boro striker said 'If I’m being honest I’m probably not fully fit in terms of match sharpness. I only had two proper training sessions before the last game, but it was nice to be back out there and it’s one of them where I’m only going to get the match sharpness by playing in the matches. It’s probably going to take a few to get up to full speed, but I’m looking forward to it. Bamford may be forced to fill the number 10 role, as there seems to be another injury crisis on its way! Both Klich and Forshaw have knee injuries and are major doubts for Saturday. To make matters worse Hernandez have a groin problem! Izzy Brown has been pictured training with the first team! Is this unusual - yes!!! Up to now, he has been training with the U23's! Will he get his league debut on Saturday?
Morning all Bamford is fully fit but not fully match fit which is different and Bielsa wouldnt risk him if he was worried. The EFL are taking their time because 3 of the board are from rival clubs which also breaches charter rules. I think they know what they're going to say but spinning it out to make it look like an in-depth investigation taking place. No rules broken unless they have found something we dont know about. This is a crockofshit and needs ending. I would recommend every Leeds fan not tuning into Talk Sport because it seems they enjoy winding Leeds fans up. Adrian Durham for years had a go, now fat twat Moose, Jim White and almost every other presenter. Its a ****fest so switch off and teach them a lesson. Pleased they found Sala's body but the pilots body is still missing and looks like will be left down there. Lets be honest about this, the original search was called off after over a week. It was only because Sala was a football player and fans set up a funding page that got some experts to start another search was launched. This has all been about a football player and hes been found. You or I would still be down there
Morning all, has anybody seen a copy of the club charter ? Surely as Bielsa names the squad 4 days in advance we should know if Izzy is playing, but I haven't seen the team for Saturday yet. If we did announce the team on Wednesday and then changed it 2 hours before kick-off would we be in breach of 3.4 I could well imagine a couple of U23's being there or thereabouts this weekend 2-1 Leeds Clarke to score the winner
He says things like same team as last week but with Philips instead of so and so,doesn't usually name the subs.
This is all I've seen so far so doesn't really say much Casilla, Ayling, Jannson, Cooper, Alioski, Phillips or Forshaw, Klich or Shackleton, Roofe, Harrison, Bamford, Hernandez or Clarke, But really happy Shackleton is being considered
Morning all, I’m hoping you’re right Doc as I’m feeling less confident now that the EFL inquiry has run into a second day.
Morning all. Feeling nervy for this weekend. A season defining 30 hours or so ahead for us. To be honest, we never should have put ourselves in the stupid position of needing an enquiry. As Bielsa said himself, with 300 hours of research on each club, he didnt need to have employees skulking around looking at training sessions as he admitted he didnt learn anything new from it
I have a feeling that Radz is half hoping the EFL find us guilty of something so that he can go to war with them and show them up for what they really are. Remember the he slagged the EFL/FA over the football tv money because he thinks its unfair that Leeds are on tv more than most prem teams and have more viewers than most prem teams but get pennies compared to crap prem teams who get way over £100m and he has a big point. He is upset that our fans have to change their plans to fit rearranged games because Sky want the match on a Friday or Sunday. He will have a bunch of evidence that will show managers and ex managers 'cheating' by getting info from clubs on teams, players, tactics, injuries. He will have plenty of evidence from the vast majority of tv pundits who back what he's done and a lot more. I reckon he will be hunting for bear. When a club have broken the rules/laws its normally a unanimous call for sanctions. In our case even a tv critic or manager who condemns it also says we broke no rules......
The only thing is they could consider all the teams to be gentlemen and above that sort of thing a bit Like they should have given Frank a 5 match ban. or equivalent instead of a 2000 GBP fine for breaching FA regulation E3 in Sept last year.
I very rarely listen to Talksport as they are basically trying to wind everyone up, not just Leeds fans (perhaps we're an easy target?). But I happened to flick onto it while waiting to pick someone up from hospital a few weeks ago. It just so happened it was the day Bielsa was giving his press conference a.k.a his coaching/scouting master class. Adrian Durham was basically defending Bielsa and saying what an absolute genius he is. the co-presenter (think it was Ray Parlour) kept banging on about how it was cheating blah, blah, blah but Durham was having none of it. Probably just doing his usual job of disagreeing with whatever anyone else says for the sake of causing an argument (or debate as they call it), but it was refreshing to hear him come out on our side on this.
Ok, so it appears I can't upgrade my silver membership to gold which means I'm never going to get tickets again unless I pay outright for a gold membership as well (what's the chances they'll then give priority to platinum members first !). So my question to you guys - can junior members buy tickets on the website ? Might seem like a silly question but I've never had to do it this way before, I've always bought tickets with my own membership.
The problem with membership is the greed that clubs start to use. I will give you a factual example of a relative at Man Utd. Season ticket holder Told needed to be a member for away games. Club decided on extra charges for European nights, so season ticket pricing came with 3 prices for the same seat. League, European, uk cups Had to become a European member for away games in Europe Over the seasons he has had to go to Moscow, Istanbul and all points He spent thousands every season and if he refused to stump up for European nights he could lose his normal season ticket to a punter who would pay for the lot. In the end he could no longer afford it and gave it all up. That club treat their loyal fans as shyte and it's all about money, hence the reason thousands left and started FC United, but no skin off the clubs nose as loyal fans replaced by prawn sandwich and corporate brigade. Radz and the Trust should look at future plans together otherwise we're in danger of the loyal fans who have been with the club through all the crap in L1 and years down in the Championship being jettisoned through greed if we get promotion.
Good morning from wakefield hospital this week she is being checked for bowel cancer. My thought is she has not got it and hoping for that outcome. As for the fl panel they can kiss my ass.
Lee Sobot@LeeSobotYEP 2h2 hours ago Pulis: "We didn't do much yesterday after travelling for near on 24 hours. We'll train today. Let's hope Bielsa and his group are in the bushes as they'll see all that we will do today. I think he's been a breath of fresh air. I don't think he's mediocre, he's top drawer." #lufc
Good Morning to Matt and cofrom Wetherby library were it is raining outside. my lines are down at home and will not be repaired until Tuesday I think Bielsa has erealised that he should not give his opponents the team news early and if you like he has used his spy tacktics in revervseby stating the 3 players areinjured to throw a spanner into the oppositions planning .I expect they are all fit Meanwhile BORO have they own problems wit Saville Asamabalonga and Hughill, all injured This is a must not lose match for both teamsand with Boro having such poor form at home we have a great chance for a 10 point cushion against them
Fingers crossed for you and Mrs Wakey, but if the worst is revealed get in touch because I had it and am clear now due to an experimental treatment. I can give you the low down and full scoop
