Cheers Matt for the videos. Lets hope the guy can keep fit as it seems he has had probs in the past. As mentioned by others I wonder why Cardiff did not want to keep him as th ey are also chasing promotion from the Championship.
PD there will be 1 of 2 reasons why Bardiff have let him go. 1) He never got back to his best or his potential after injury. or 2 he's been doing Slades daughter up the bum, so I hope she screamed and we got a steal
Elland we have 2 teams out tonight as we're playing against Taddy too and will be fielding 6 first team squad players, Rosler will be in York and will call into Taddy to pick the lads up if they win .....
please log in to view this image Who remembers Graham Bean. Sacked from ER, some six months ago? Unlike Murphy, he's not bitter (much)
Hearing strong rumours that Bucks has been sacked for snoring throughout a training day. Mr Bean should fook off as well because all he does is bleat about how bad the club is. Redders was a bad boss for the 1st team so he should get over it
What was Bean at the club anyway or perhaps more importantly, whats he doing now. I suspect very little
Massimo Cellino sacks Leeds consultant Graham Bean • ‘Anybody thinking of working here, stay well clear’ says Bean • Dismissal follows row about rearranged fixture • Secret world of the bung-buster please log in to view this image Graham Bean has hit out at Leeds after being sacked as the club’s consultant by the new owner Massimo Cellino. “I wish the club and all the staff at Leeds all the best, I’ve enjoyed working with them,” he said. “But I can’t say the same about Mr Cellino. I can’t really comment. “But if anybody thinking of working at Leeds United under the current regime asks my advice, I’d say stay well clear. The club deserves much better.” Bean was sacked over a row about next week’s rearranged fixture against Reading. Bean, 53, the former Football Association compliance officer who ran day-to-day operations at Elland Road, left four months after joining Leeds. His departure follows a disagreement over the club’s decision to agree to a request from Reading to switch their league game at Leeds next week to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Reading asked for the game to be put back 24 hours as their match against Wolves this weekend, to be televised by Sky Sports, has been moved to Sunday. Cellino, who was away at the time, was not involved in discussions in July about the rearranged fixture and subsequently terminated Bean’s 12-month contract. Bean has overseen much of the club’s administration during his time at Elland Road and was involved with players’ contracts. Leeds visit Brentford in the Championship tomorrow lying twelfth in the table.
Ah, now I remember the gobshite. How the hell do some of these lads get jobs at all? Is there no unemployment in England or what?
Why Are Leeds United The Most Loathed Team In The UK? Millwall sing "no-one likes us, we don't care" but actually no-one cares about Millwall full stop. The team that people don't like, but also really care that they don't like, is Leeds United please log in to view this image For many teams there is a real reason why they don't like us; for Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool etc the hatred was born in the 60s and 70s and a true rivalry with 'Super Leeds', alongside historic roses and north/south fault lines. For others there's the simple local rivalry; Huddersfield, Bradford, Hull et al simply don't like us because we're local, more successful and their towns are full of Leeds fans anyway. For others it was our reputation off the field in the late 70s and early 80s. ICF, 657, Zulus, DLF. We were 'number one when it counted'. But the really odd thing is that teams we have no relationship with also hate us - we've become the cartoon baddie across the nation and the "we all hate Leeds Scum" ditty often seeps out of the background noise at many a TV game. Why would teams like Villa, Fulham or Rochdale sing this? We really have nothing to do with you, in any sense. But to add a twist to this, when Leeds are in town across the 'putting a shift in/win the right to play' battlefield that is the Championship, we regularly deliver the home team's biggest crowd of the season? If they hate us that much then why do they turn out to watch us play? Leeds fans in the sold out away section often welcome the above average home gate with "You're only here to watch the Leeds" and the end of season attendance stats usually hold this to be true. And this obsession with Leeds isn't just limited to day trippers at Oakwell, Ewood or The Valley. It's continued by the TV companies. Take a look at the Italian, Spanish or German leagues. Is there a team in their second tier, that are fourth favourites to be relegated that have FIVE of their first ten league games broadcast live on TV? To be honest I haven't checked but I doubt it. However in England next season there is, and guess which team it is? I'm sure it infuriates Forest, Derby, Ipswich and all the other true contenders for next year's title, but money talks and Sky know their biggest audiences, like at those away grounds, are when Leeds are in town. Goodman and Beagrie, 'mwah big kiss' we love you too! So why is it that we're the team that people love to hate but love to watch too? It's probably a myriad of reasons but I'd suggest it's a mix of the horrible cliche of us being 'a fallen giant', TV execs and many older football fans still having a grudging respect for Super Leeds and latterly Wilko's 'Last True Champions', younger fans jealously wishing their away support was as large and vociferous as Leeds', the atmosphere we bring to away grounds. They probably hate us because we're seen as arrogant and too big for our boots. It's an accusation that's often levelled at Leeds and to a degree it's true; yes we do BELIEVE we should be dining at football's top table but we don't EXPECT to. We know our team now is crap but it's our club that holds the magic. Taxi drivers, waiters and bar staff across Europe, indeed the world, know us when they casually ask the obligatory 'where are you from?" Depending on their age the response will be along the lines of 'ah, Leedz YouniTed', 'Beely Bremnah' or 'Alan Smeeth'. We teach our youngsters tales of European glory, of silverware at Elland Road and days of expecting to easily beat the likes of City and Chelsea. We teach them that being the team that is hated across the nation is our true badge of pride & honour and not one to be ashamed of. Would you rather your team be talked about and hated, or generate a 'meh' response the likes of Stoke, Swansea and Southampton garner? And the thing that will really make all those teams that hate us, hate us even more, is that, to paraphrase Keggy Keegan, "we love it!" It makes us bristle with pride, puff out our chests and sing even louder. You know what..... we're not famous anymore

Or Slade just didn't fancy him in his plans simple as that doesn't mean to say he will not do well for us though
Dave Slade didn't know where to put him in his team but that doesn't mean he won't do well for us It seems that Turnbull has signed for us today so that just leaves a left winger lets hope its Murphy!
Mike the chances of him being brilliant is 15% whilst history tells us we have more chance of having a crock who never works out because he's injured, never fit enough, overweight, or just plain shyte. BUT the last time we dealt with Bardiff (Discount the kid keeper) we brought in Ross Mc and he worked out well. he wasn't fancied by the manager but scored plenty of goals and earned £11m. Trying to stay optimistic because he looks like a powerful box to box player and we havn't had one like that besides Austin, but Rudy was dire at times
