    Start as one, but others will soon be agreeing if other examples are anything to go by.

    Fair point Jock. Let's see how this develops.

    He is avoiding you. Take the hint.

    I disagree I think the heading ability and pace of Dexter has massively helped Ross. Smithy is the best header but he's too slow and gets lost especially when counter attacking, Poleon gets pushed out too far wide due to his reliance on dribbling past an opponent, Hunt is also too slow, Varney is either brilliant or shocking which is counter productive. I don't think Forest will want millions for him as he was well out of Billy Davies plans...think £800k-£1 million will get us him which is good money considering we got Pelts for around 800k.

    I was being careful not mention you know what, and you know who.

    Maybe they got sick of the legions of Leeds fans calling them cheapskates? It's good PR.

    Just a question,
    Would him 'investing' a seven figure sum affect FFP?

    At least LUST have public meetings as advertised. GFH are a huge disappointment in this respect. I have always criticised their communications skills since they first came on the scene. Nothing has changed, and this latest example is a shambles. No-one noticed that DH has commented on LUFC Official about the other half of the BBC article? He uses LUFC Official to share his delight in being Chair of LUFC Ladies. Not a cheep about the other bit. So is this simply BBC speculation, or is he really putting his hand in his pocket? Absolutely disgraceful handling of this. Wonder what the financial regulators will make of this?

    No. I believe £5mill personal investment is allowed.

    You're missing my point - it's not good PR. It's BBC speculation atm. Nothing more. As I said above, DH has commented on the other half of the story officially, but not the 'investment'. Why not use the official statement to cover both aspects?

    Thought you had left florida.
    Good news by the time you get back home Salmond will have bankrupted the country. He makes Ridsdale living the dream look very frugal.

    Money spent in the January transfer window? I'll believe that when I see it!

    Maybe that's what everyone should do instead of getting their knickers in a twist and falling out with each other:emoticon-0105-wink:
