    Any questions you have about the coming Leeds united season 2023 - 2024 can you put them here for others to try and answer ...

    My own question is :-

    If Leeds united are expecting to bounce back to premier league this season 2023 - 2024 why the f.ck are they selling players at a fraction of the value they could get for them next season when they return to the premier league ?

    Because those players don’t want to play for us and they’re crap therefore nobody willing to pay anything for them. It’s very simple despite the conspiracy theories

    Sniffer, we've sold 3 players, Rodrigo,Roberts and McCalmont for a combined fee of around £3.75m, the rest have gone out on loan, bringing in £2.5m in loan fees, if the half mill loan fees per player are true. Non of the one's gone out are going to be welcomed back by the vast majority of supporters so regardless what division we're in next season,24/25, they'll either be sold at a fraction of what we paid or loaned out again. Looks like Wober could be on his way out on loan today too.
    The 49ers are now in a precarious position with signings, we're bringing very little in, so they have to be careful what they spend because off ffp, yes we're saving a lot in wages but don't forget any new players will want paying plus signing on fees aswell as the transfer and agent fees.

    I understand what your saying but only 1 of those that we sold were in 1st team , Rodrigo was a disappointment although he did start to show a little form near end , if Bamford does not score for 5 matches from start he has to be sold or replaced but it might be to late as usual by then , younger player although talented are not experienced and we will have to buy anyway , our back 4 need replacing as ayling getting too old , wober does a few wobblers anyway , captain fantastic Cooper panicks and Koch, cocks it up aloud of times , personally I hope tottenham get him then they will be leaking goals , at the end of day we get parachute payment so we should be able to buy experienced defenders and a striker , but we are doing nothing about it. But saying that in the long run ( which I want it to be the short run) think 49ers will turn it around for us to get back up , but think it's a slim chance this season

    I got to agree on the CRAP front but no mention of Rutter he is crap also I don't even know if he will find his level In championship and don't think he would get picked for France internationals the only way would be if leeds got promoted and with his record before coming to leeds of 2 goals in 15 matches and us paying an astronomical fee for him, it will take at least 5 years before we would get that back and he would have to score 20 goals a season which there is no chance of him doing that not even in championship.

    We might be but all the players we’ve been linked with we’re being told are being bought.

    I'd imagine there's a helluva lot more going on than what's been thrown about, no one mentioned Ampadu until a couple of days before he signed. My man says his feed has totally dried up, 49ers holding their cards very close to their chest.

    Tottenham were sniffing round Bamford and Rutter could go play for Doncaster that's his level

    Sunderland fan here after some information on your digital tickets please?

    We have got the exact same system installed this close season, does your system support QR codes or is it 100% NFC?

    No worries. Whilst you're here, what did you think of Joe Gelhardt last season for you guys?
