    Hello Fellow Leeds Fans, not long to go to the big push. Like many of you, i'm not exactly happy with the lack of transfer activity around ER, BUT there is still time to make a difference, and at least we have kept hold of our key players.

    Just had a thought. Lets say that a foolish overseas investor were to buy a mediocre championship football club, where the biggest thing that has ever happened in this particular city involved crisps. If this said investor were to come to his senses, take his money out of the football club and re invest his capital in something more rewarding (like growing turnips), obviously this would lead this club in financial ruin, especially if they had irresponsibly had recently bought lots and lots of players far beyond what they could have normally have afforded.

    theoretically, if this club had already been in administation in lets say, the last 10 years, and they were to re-enter administation, would that club get thrown out of the league ???

    Weve kept hold of key players but two of them are long term iunjuries Somma and Becchio. So now we have just Snodgrass (slight injury) Gradel (future uncertain)
    Nunez and Kisnorbo are new players and I feel they'll both be huge hits this season. We still need another 3/4. Is Mendy the answer? he's not bad but a tall winger isnt brilliant especially wen we have some good wingers here. Maybe Snodgrass will play some games up front this term thus leaving us with a spare wide slot

    Yep, can see Snodds and Gradel as our forward line, not sure what I make of McCormack. Hope Nunez and Sam get an oportunity to shine. I would like to see us splash some cash on a midfielder and a quality defender

    Well lets say... a broken down skint club was taken over in a shady deal (off sea's) by a mad man...who fleeced the fans and shafted them up the cat flap...was investigated by the inland revenue...and found to be breaking all sorts of regulations ...would that very old and very tired has been club go belly up?... while a much better club that was modern and attractive to all sorts of wealthy investors...decided to have the ambition to return to their real home in the top flight...and a certain bloke who followed that wonderful club was off to see the spectacle of lets say real madrid play at their brand new fantastic stadium...would the fans of that old second rate club (being investigated)would they be jealous and bitter? i wonder.... no suppose not....

    I'm just sat here reading yet another tedious post from some Crisp muncher from the midlands or near enough and wondering to myself just how big is the THUD going to be when Leicester come down to earth.

    I predict quite a bang.

    Funnily enough I also predict the silence from the Leicester fans will be deafening!
