    The THUD's going to be a big one when you lot come back down to earth. You've got ideas way above your station.

    So more hits on a search engine is what you're clinging to now??!!! And even then, one search on Yahoo shows how inconsistent it is anyway.

    You couldn't make it up. Small club mentality.

    What ideas??? Like that if a billionaire wants to sell his company, it will take someone equally rich to buy it.

    So Leeds fans don't understand logic or economics now?? This is getting painful to watch.

    25 players on 100K a week!

    With 40thousand tickets sold at £35.00

    Not a very good business in my eyes!

    I'd forgotten just how small they are, listening to some of these neanderthals with three brain cells between them it's not hard to see why their team has died but also the city.

    with the undoubted debt that he would leave behind, i think it may be harder than what you think but thats not what i was referring to, i was referring to the person who does take over will have to sell most of the top players to try to bring the books back to a sustainable level. You will not be a top 4 team much longer and may even struggle to be in the top half. Im not saying a similar thing to what happened to leeds but a on a smaller scale maybe.

    you've either missed the point completely or trying to convince yourself different to try to hide from the inevitable

    The point is - we have no debt. The debt is Romans so it would be factored into any sale. In any event he is creating a legacy for his son but don't let facts get in the way. We've been the highest spenders in the country since Jan, does that really seem like someone who is going to jump ship anytime soon.

    As for business models, I wouldn't expect a small club like yours to understand but there is more to earning money than through ticket sales. Its things like shirt sales and tours to asia etc that help fund our stars much as it is for any big club.

    There are at least 3 clubs bigger in London than Leeds - one club rugby town.

    I actually think of them as being a bigger club than they clearly really are. Perhaps it's from the 70's side they had or that they are a one club city but some of the stats are eye opening and their fans are now trying to hold on to google search results as a mark of a big club.

    again you've missed the point. I personally reckon he is going for one last hurrah but i could be wrong anyway, he cant be there forever and will eventually leave. All the debt wil be his but he wont continue to pay wages every week for a club he doesnt own will he.... So the new owner comes in and freaks out about the wage structure and now needs to get the highest earners of the books because it is no longer sustainable without outside help. You then sel all your best players and fall down the league because of it, managers will start ot get sakced because the expectation hasnt dropped however the funds have and you will o into the mysterious land of inconsistencynwhich means that you'll always be trying to get back to the top of the premier league but failing because you simply do not have the funds available anymore and may even go into more debt because you tart buying players you cant afford for a final effort and go into obscurity. Anyway, just a wild stab in the dark and im logging off now anyway

    Wild would be somewhat of an understatement but we all have our dreams....

    Just paid £82 for my Liverpool ticket West Upper...
    these Leeds fans live in a dream world.

    We are one of the top 10 clubs in Europe now; we are established and not going away.

    Our revenue is fifth biggest in Europe

    I've learned a lot too. it is only when you look into Leeds City's history that you realise how badly supported they have been and how little history they have.

    I want to thank the Leeds wums for teaching me this.

    I'd have them back in P.L tomorrow though!!

    Always enjoyed the banter with them.

    Can we swap them for QPR?

    Agreed; would love to have Leeds back.

    Atmos at Elland Road 83 was amazing with 6k Blues up there
