    Who knows who is involved with the 49ers. A us politician rumoured. Could even be old orange head I’m off to jail soon trump so mightnt be a bad thing if they check them all out properly. We’ve had enough cowboys over past two decades

    If it’s corrupt Biden or that matter any Democrat we’re ****ed as they’ll never pass the fit and proper test.

    Where might they find a politician anywhere in the world that would pass. Prefer not to be associated with any of them

    The main board of 49ers totals 11 and half of them have already passed the Prem fit and proper test so only a few more to be done but already had a week how hard can it be, these are very very wealthy guys. The politician and other businessmen and sports stars are the secondary group and nothing to do with the ownership. These are just a bunch of investors hoping the 49ers make them money

    Bye then but how much will we get. Seems amazing Leicester are wanting £15m for Castange and £70m for Maddison and refusing to let them go cheap, whereas we seem to be giving them away

    We should be ok though. As he has his big new contract with us that will have increased his value massively <yikes>

    On the bright side Roberts has gone for £1m plus add ons and he only cost £2.5m years ago. Llorente given that huge contract now seems to be a joke but suppose it gets us circa £10m back from the £13m we paid?

    Very best we’ll get doc is enough to meet the outstanding payments on each player so we’ll effectively get nothing. We massively overpaid for most of them. The idea they had played a handful of internationals seemed to drive their valuations through the roof in orta eyes. We’ve about 40 internationals who play for Ireland. Doesn’t mean they’re worth anything cos they’re not

    Wouldn’t it have to have been ratified as we have already appointed an interim DOF?

    Wober interviewed whilst with the Austrian squad was asked how things were in the Austrian camp, he replied that things were calm here or something and immediately the clickbait sites said he was having a go at the Leeds dressing room.

    Last year of Rodrigo’s contract and wonder how much we get for a proven striker in the prem?

    Leeds United transfer news: PSG, Real Madrid, Villa and Brighton eyeing Rodrigo

    Basically, build a top academy and invest in a huge global scouting network to try and get the best big talent before the big clubs. And… and you’ve guessed it… buy young and sell on for profit. Everyone does it now.. this guy did it 20 years ago.

    Llorente signed a new contract with the agreement that he would be allowed to leave on loan with a view to a permanent transfer. That was agreed between him and the club and he went to Roma within days, even hours of it been announced. That way he kept his value. Fair play to him on that.

    Regarding those in their last year like Koch and Rodrigo. It's pretty simple to me. If Rodrigo is only gonna bring on 3 million this summer then sit him down and tell him we won't sell him for such a low fee as he will be worth more than that to us for a year in the Championship. End of chat. He's under contract to Leeds United until June next year. If he wants out then he'll have to drop his wages enough for the buying club to pay more money to us or find a club willing to pay what we want. If he refuses to play for us then just make him train with the kids for a season, don't play him at all and kill his career off.

    Wober was our best defender last year but so would I if they had signed me. Get rid of the keepers, get rid of the senior defenders, get rid of the sicknotes Bamford, Cooper and Forshaw and splash the parachute payments on a new spine to the team.

    I believe Forshaw although officially released is to be offered a pay as play one year deal, depending on the views of the new head coach. I do however believe that we need to have upgrades for Ayling, Cooper, Dallas and Forshaw because I think we will end up keeping them but they are for the bench not starters
