And what do you replace them with. Someone who’ll cost more thus maybe strengthen the squad or kids from the academy who’ll possibly weaken it. Selling your best will never never improve the squad. We need dramatic improvement

I agree. Just playing devil's advocate.
Orta has had some shockers but he's also had some great buys too.
Struijk cost less than 1 million.
Gelhardt cost less than 1 million.
Sam Greenwood cost 3 million.
Dramah cost 1 million.
If we sold all of those you'd be looking between 20-30 million from a 6 million outlay.
We're not going down.
Keep the faith brother Wakey that there'll be 3 worse teams than us
Possibly. Who is gonna take them. They are on huge wages and have just been bottom of the league for two seasons.
I think a few of them would be forced to stay here due to limited options.
Forcing players stopped years ago. They would force a move so as not to get a, wage cut. Look at Burnley they got a whole new side but kept barnes but he is 33 now. So i reckon we would be stuck with Bamford due to his dodgy fitness.
Southampton, Forrest, and i am struggling for the third, i have a feeling Leicester will have a mini revival which would see them over the line, as they now have that sh** smith in charge, Everton i just cannot see going down, that i guess just leaves Bournemouth, a side capable (which we are not) of pulling off the odd shock result or two, going down to the wire whatever happens, and i for one wouldn't bet on the outcome.We're not going down.

To be fair, we beat Liverpool at Anfield but that was under a different manager.
And under different circumstances, sadly Leeds have always been a team to fold under pressure, Brentford result last season being the exception.
Yep conceding too many goals is the major concern so we'll have to get back to the basics of shape and positioning. Fans probably won't like it as that will mean less players bombing forward etc but is there any other way ?
Thanks for the reminder
Just in case anyone needed reminding just how ****ty things are at the moment.
Totally agree, the one thing in our favour, at this end of the table, was our goal difference, but this is rapidly diminishing with the couple of tonkings, we have taken recently.
Orta just needs to hope we stay up, 49ers buy the club and then repeat buying a Gnonto, Meslier, Raphinha, Sinisterra to bolt on top of the existing players which we want to keep, which in turn keeps Eire happy as we haven’t sold our better players and actually improved the squad to ensure no worries next season…. It’s easy
Not sure what Eire wants to be honest Doc.
Champions League maybe ?
Even then who knows.
Clearly we need pace at the back but look at Chelsea spending £200/300 million on defenders and still crap.
