Not so super Saturday. With Leeds playing Sunday lunchtime it's down to the other promotion hopefuls to come to the fore. There's just one problem.... Leicester face Chelsea in the cup tomorrow and Southampton are left without a game. That leaves 'super saturday' to Ipswich who face a resurgent Sheff Wed at home. A draw for Ipswich won't be enough to overhaul Leeds in to 2nd place due to an inferior goal difference but a win would see Ipswich go 2nd place 2 points in front of Leeds and 1 point behind Leicester. All that means that if Leeds beat Millwall on Sunday by two clear goals then Leeds will top the Championship for the first time this season. As for today though, all eyes will be on Portman Road and the hope that Ian Poveda can do his parent club a favour. Leeds vs Millwall Visit the match thread here.... https://www.not606.com/threads/leeds-utd-v-millwall-match-thread.411759 Legal Actions Underway The last couple of weeks have offered up some interesting off field issues which has directly involved Leeds United and potential financial windfalls. This week Leicester have been outed as yet another club who have overspent on FFP with the football league attempting to impose punishment quickly. This was initially thwarted by Leicester who refused to submit financial plans after finding a legal 'loophole'. It's widely reported that Leicester are over FFP and will have to deal with this at some point but the biggest loss was last season. Everton and Forest are already facing charges of FFP failures for last season. The key to all this is the wording used against Everton at their recent (succesful) appeal. They got their points deductions reduced to just 6 points but the key wording in that appeal was that "Everton gained a sporting advantage" over others by overspending. That sets the precedent for Forest and Leicesters hearings. The three clubs mentioned above ALL finished above Leeds last season and the "sporting advantage" line opens up a real possibility (or probability) that Leeds can successfully sue all three clubs for loss of income. Loan Rats Marc Roca opened up about his time at Leeds this week. Roca said he hopes Leeds go up BUT if they don't then he can go out on loan again next season. On the face of it, this is hardly shocking news but it is the first time that one of the rats has confirmed that loan clauses do indeed trigger again this summer if Leeds fail to earn promotion back to the PL. Farke has made his stance clear that he doesn't want any of the rats back next season regardless of division. With FFP becoming tighter next season if we remain in this division, we really need these clowns off our books for good.
Well done Farke, **** the rats, they don't deserve the privilege of playing for our great club, we only want winners, fighters who give their all, not losers like those bunch of mercenary useless bastards
No, now suddenly the shift is that we must not lose. Pressure can affect teams / individuals in different ways.
