    Klich signed for £1.5m by Orta and under Marcelo Bielsa went on to play 92 consecutive matches for Leeds. A club record, a bargain buy, a legend who never got to say goodbye properly.

    The Klich award for consistency goes to Tyler Adams. Still broken I think ahaha.

    Only a few days left of the window and so far it’s been a non event, even for getting players out. If we don’t bring in any defenders and we fail to go up, then all hell will break loose on FARKE and the club. Days left to get it sorted

    Leeds move to sign PL star. Leeds are in talks to sign 6’2” colossus, Leeds linked with Liverpool “Messi”, Leeds make official approach to PL club involved in FFFP case, Leeds move fast to sign PL full back who can play in the middle. These are just a few clickbait headlines from Monday, but this has been going on for weeks so not even chip paper. Confident in saying that Gessa knows more than the media.

    Jason Wilcox the one that got away? joined the Manchester City coaching staff in 2012 as an academy coach, a year later he made the step up to the U18's as their head coach and oversaw a national championship title and two FA Youth Cup finals. In 2017 after a spell in the job on an interim basis he was appointed to the role of academy director. On 20 January 2023, Wilcox was appointed director of football at Southampton. Wilcox has links to City and is using those links to bring in City players like Romeo Lavia who has since been sold to Chelsea for big profits. The Ipswich manager came from Man Utd where he was coaching in the academy. Leicester manager was a coach under Pep at Man City. Yes parachute payments help those clubs relegated but a good pedigree is as important and you can see that too with Carlos Corberan at WBA who learned at the feet of Bielsa

    Scumchester fans are getting even angrier about the Mason Greenwood situation as it now comes out that Barcelona want to sign him and have asked for a price. They are offering cash.

    Frank Lampard is still spouting off about beating Leeds when he was at Derby. He said it felt better than anything he did as a player and winning silverware. “I felt I had arrived as they were a better team but we won and they had Bielsa” ****er still has Marcelo living in his head rent free.

    Still a chance that PSG get Llorente’ as talks are still ongoing but more difficult due to a new manager in Rome, but PsG still want him.

    Isco picks Leeds man Marc Roca when building ultimate player.

    it seems that many of the rats are now producing convincing displays. Kristensen is now a regular starter, Llorente already mentioned, Roca a wanted man, Wober doing a great job in Germany and Sinisterra now showing what he’s all about, so we should be recouping good transfer money as long we get promoted.

    Looks like another mistake by Jesse Marsch as Toulouse have offered £1m for Max Dean. He’s been scoring for fun in L2 and still only 19yo. MK Dons needing cash so we’re willing to sell him this month but being offered so much from a top club is unheard of in L2.

    You could be right about this. Didn’t Leicester pay £1m for Jamie Vardy when he was non-league and the rest as they say is……

    We've got Bristol at a good time hopefully! 3 days after they go to Coventry. Then assume they'll fit in their replay between us and Boro. May as well give us the 3 pts and make sure they're ready for Forest ;)

    Just been looking through today’s tranny news and cant believe someone has written a whole article about how Joe Gelhardt replied to Kalvin Phillips on Instagram. Joffy said “All the best lad” and thats it, a whole bunch of shyte of a nothing burger.

    Also seeing that Burnley, Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich, Leeds seem to be chasing exactly the same players :emoticon-0121-angry

    Yes this will probably upset a few but Farkes stubbornness and insisting on not resting anyone now means we have Summerville out injured too. Gray. out, Struijk out Byram injured every third game, James out injured. So now we are going to end up using players who have not played much to backfill. Anthony and Gnonto backed by Poveda will be our wingers for a while. Still no RB so having to reply on Shackelton who wasn’t brilliant today. Byram and Firpo are going to have share LB. This isn’t a promotion winning side.

    Yes very unlucky yet again but not finding the net against a parked bus is regular, but it looked to me like FARKE reverted back to using Piroe in midfield and Rutter further forward again. We should have been 4 up at half time, but Gnonto not fully fit and hardly played missed a couple again. Hats off to Anthony for playing pretty well but as he hasn’t had many minutes he tired later on, but a great goal.

    FARKE said he needed all his players back in the summer but has refused to use half of them. Look how many weeks before he gave Gruev a go and look how good he is. Managers have a right to be strict and demand rules and tactics are followed but they also need to ensure players are rested especially 17yo kids.

    I am not in the FARKE is great camp and in fact think hes at his level. Today would have been yet another league point dropped against a crap side and we’ve already lost too many. This team is too weak at the back and nor efficient up front game after game after game and thats the only way to win promotion. I also think his treatment of Drameh, Gelhardt and Cresswell is a joke.

    So I will be staying off here for the rest of the season and come back in the summer and apologise if he wins promotion.

    Good rant Doc <ok>

    Stay off or don't it's entirely up to you but speaking only for myself your opinions will be missed if you're not around.

    Oh and we won't win automatic promotion as it's really never been on the cards this season. Unfortunately the summer of disruption caused by relagation, the change of ownership plus all the rats leaving the sinking ship made that unlikely.

    However we have a good chance of going up via the play offs so let's all stick with it.

    As Jammy says Doc,your input will be missed,if you're not enjoying it keep away but perhaps just for a week or 2. I have felt this season, which I've mentioned to you before, you don't seem your old self. Personally I've not been on as often because I was getting a little tired of the same old negativity, becomes boring after a while. Honestly at times you'd think we were bottom.4 not top.
