Good Morning Everyone, It looks likely that Antenucci will have his last game for Leeds on Saturday. Parma head the list of clubs vying to sign the 31 year old striker who has scored 19 times in 68 appearances for the Whites. He is also believed to be on the radar of Palermo and Hellas Verona. Talking about Hellas Verona (bottom of Serie A), they also want to sign Bellusci. Throw into the mix Doukara for the nibble he had, Erwin who seemingly cannot kick a ball, Adeyami and Bridcutt who will return to their parent clubs and we are down to our bare bones. Thank goodness we have Sloth. Thoughts?
LEEDS UNITED today agreed to a secret settlement of its £5m-plus High Court battle with former kit-suppliers Macron SPA. The Italian company sued for damages after the Whites decided to end their shirt-making agreement in 2014. At the time it was signed in 2011, the six-year deal was the longest in English football history. But Bologna-based Macron said the club had no right to terminate the contract without paying a fee. It claimed £2.1m which it said it was owed under the contract and up to another £3.5m damages for future losses. The Championship club disputed the claim and was due to fight it in a trial at the High Court in London this week. However after last minute talks out of court, the parties agreed to a settlement which resulted in the trial being called off. In a ten-second hearing this morning, Mr Justice Hickinbottom was told the settlement would be kept confidential.
Morning Elland and all. Usual summer clear out of a bunch of mediocre players that never quite set the world alight with us. Wonder when the bus will arrive with a whole new bunch of internationals like Sloth. Maybe Cellino or Branson will wait till after the Euros and pick the best from that. Only downside to that Leicester win is Cellino probably now believes we can give the PL a run in two years with the bulk of our current squad. Who knows, he may be right
Morning Eire, When focused Antenucci was good. Shame it has not worked out for him. There's only one Sloth.
Morning Ell I don't rate Erwin but not seen anything myself yet which shows he can't kick a ball. We need this current squad to get down to the bare bones so we can rebuild. This summer should be one of the best of recent years, new foreign manager with some money to spend. New people on board should help steady the ship
They were never designed for swinging over your head impersonating a helicopter though . Most shirts would give up under that pressure
As you're a Leicester fan you wouldn't understand the swinging of the shirt WE ARE CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.......
The best summer I remember Don, was under Wilko's reign. We signed at least 7/8 players including Vinnie, although back then it was mainly British players and the club was run by British owners..
Just what we need another foreign manager who knows nothing about the squad. By the time he's had a look Summer over and good chance better players sold and crap now first choice. Close season booked, Evans knows what to get rid of and what he wants. Give him the chance but have plan B in place at least we will see continuity at the start
Morning Kissa, have to feel a little sorry for the lad due to lack of opportunities, but feel more sorry for Sloth that has had no opportunities.
Morning Shaks, good point. Under the sales of goods act, if a service or product does not fulfill the purpose for which it is bought, you are entitled to a refund.
Morning All Agreed with Doc, don't need another manager who know jack about the team, it will be better to either keep Evans in and let him build the team he wants or bring in guy who has managed in England and knows the players we've got. Agreed with Kissa. We need to be rid of a lot of theses players and start a fresh.
I've seen far too many negative performances under Evans to want him to stay, 5 in midfield at home, wingers on the bench with Wood up top by himself. big stretch of games mid season when we averaged a couple of shots per game. Not good enough for me. Agree about new foreign manager a risk, Moyes refused to work under Cellino. Cellino won't sell his majority so we are where we are.
