[LU] Trust thingy about Red Bull

[John Boocock]

Trust Response to Red Bull Partnership with Leeds United
Dear Member,

Yesterday, Leeds United announced that Red Bull has taken a minority 
ownership stake in the club, as well as becoming our front-of-shirt 
sponsor. There was a mixed response from the fan base with some 
welcoming the financial investment, which of course is becoming more 
important to delivering on-field success, while others expressed their 
concerns strongly on what Red Bull’s future intentions could be, given 
their history with other sports clubs. We would be naïve as fans to 
assume there isn’t a larger, long-term plan for Red Bull’s initial foot 
in the door at Leeds United.


The global energy drink brand owns RB Leipzig in Germany's Bundesliga, 
Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, MLS side New York Red Bulls, as well as 
Red Bull Bragantino and RB Brasil in Brazil. In the past, they have made 
significant changes to club names, badges and kits, placing their brand 
front and centre, overshadowing and in some cases erasing the history of 
the clubs they have purchased. This has been met with large protests 
from fans, and league-wide protests from fans of other clubs.


To be clear from the outset, any fundamental changes to Leeds United 
club's identity and heritage will receive maximum resistance from our 
fans, and we will be working closely with football authorities over the 
coming years in preparation for any such move by Red Bull.


While the club have been open and proactive in stating that no one from 
Red Bull will sit on the board and there will be no change to the name 
or logo, this is only a promise while the 49ers maintain complete 
control of the club. Nobody can predict what will happen after the 
49ers’ custodianship, so we are taking the opportunity at an early stage 
to let Red Bull, or any other potential custodians of our club, know 
that we will not allow any of these fundamental heritage or identity 
changes to happen to our club.


Backing of an Independent Football Regulator

One of the many reasons we are backing the introduction of an 
independent football regulator is their ability to install protections 
around football club identity and heritage. Although on hold until after 
the General Election, the government white paper which was published 
after a fan-led review in 2022 proposes that clubs in the Premier League 
and English Football League will be held to account on specific heritage 
elements.


Among these recommendations are a ‘duty to not relocate without 
approval’ and a ‘duty not to change crest, home shirt colours or name 
without approval’. That approval will not come without consultation with 
supporters, a move which the government says will ‘put fans back at the 
heart of how football is run.’ Leeds United Supporters’ Trust is proud 
to have been a part of this consultation process with the government and 
wholeheartedly support the recommendations. It’s important that we (and 
fans of other football clubs) have these types of protections in place 
sooner rather than later. We continue to work closely with the FSA on 
this to ensure its effective and meaningful implementation.


Your questions to the club

Yesterday, we compiled the most common questions sent to us via social 
media and email and put them to the club. To the club’s credit, they 
were extremely responsive and understand that fans are likely to have 
concerns over the partnership. Some of the below has been addressed via 
media interviews but we would like to share the questions and answers in 
full, where possible:


Q: Leeds fans are a very passionate and demanding fanbase, it’s 
important that our fans know that all new investors and stakeholders 
have a clear understanding of our history and heritage - especially 
concerning badges, colours, renaming grounds with corporate sponsors 
ahead of legacy players/managers etc. How is this being communicated to 
our investors, especially those not based in the UK?


A: Absolutely. This decision was not made lightly, and was the result of 
many conversations over several months with the Red Bull team to ensure 
they shared the 49ers respect for the club’s history and spirit, and 
that they were committed to the vision for Leeds going forward.


Q: It has been said that the Leeds United badge will remain unchanged 
but how will the shirt look? Will it have the red logo on the shirts and 
will the club colours remain the same and unchanged?


A: Correct, the LUFC logo will remain unchanged. In terms of their 
branding, Red Bull may choose to use their original logo. Our shirts 
have previously featured red logos (Redkite, Bet24, Packard Bell). We 
understand supporters may have concerns about this, but we hope the 
benefit this partnership brings to on-pitch performance will ultimately 
outweigh that unease.


Q: Is Red Bull’s stake/investment linked to the stadium/ground in any way?

A: This deal isn't about Elland Road. Both 49ers Enterprises and Red 
Bull are both deeply

Is the goalkeeping coach currently our set piece specialist? I'm sure I

Re: [LU] Sunderland

[John Boocock]

In the current situation refereeing really needs a long hard review. I 
have seen better at WorldNET.


Having said that refereeing is what it is. Would we have been unhappy if 
the same referee had denied Ipswich three points?


Re the knackered point totally agree John. Both the physical and mental 
strain really showed. It is how Farke and his team manage this that will 
be the thing that gives us the points we need for promotion. I think he 
knows this and can do this.


Thankfully, off the field we currently don't have any arseholes 
buggering us about.

I joined 10,000 other fans in the MNES last night to watch the FA Youth 
Cup semi-final against Millwall.


An end to end game where the kids did brilliantly by beating a very good 
Millwall side.


Defender Daniel Toulson was excellent and forward Rhys Chadwick also 
showed great promise.


I'm looking forward to the final against Man City in Early May!

Trust Responds to Season Ticket Price Increases
Dear Member,

After the distraction of the FA Cup, it's back to the bread and butter of our 
promotion push when we lock horns with local rivals Huddersfield Town tomorrow 
lunchtime hoping to make it 10 Championship wins on the bounce.

While Daniel Farke's boys look to do the business on the field, the club have 
been busy behind the scenes with the announcement of increased season ticket 
prices for next season.

Price rises are never welcomed, particularly during times of continued 
widespread economic pressure.

Some fans will face larger increases than others as the club start to level out 
season ticket legacy pricing, which aims to ensure that, in the future, no 
season ticket holder is paying more than the one sat next to them.

The club's consideration that increases are based on 2022/23 prices, rather 
than pre-rebate 2023/24 prices, is welcomed, alongside new options for payment 
plans over the season. While we're disappointed to see some fans have rises of 
12 per cent, we do acknowledge the club is still trying to respect the loyalty 
of the longest-standing season ticket holders, allowing them to pay the lowest 
amount for a match ticket over the next few seasons.

The club have actively engaged with a variety of different fan groups ahead of 
today’s announcement which is a step in the right direction - and we 
acknowledge that some, not all, of the feedback was taken on board. Last year 
they failed to do this before announcing price increases so the club should be 
applauded for taking views on board at an early stage.

We put a comprehensive list of our members’ points to the club via the 
Supporters’ Advisory Board and in our meetings with Leeds representatives. 
While we are pleased they listened to our members’ requests for ways to spread 
the cost of renewing their tickets over six or 10 months, we were disappointed 
they have not taken the opportunity to address some of the inconsistencies in 
concession pricing, particularly for those who remain in full-time education.

We challenged the club on why, during a period of cost-of-living challenges, 
they feel the need to put up season ticket prices at all. The club say the cost 
of staging matches at Elland Road is also going up so increases will go towards 
covering that additional match day outlay.

The club now plan to look at memberships for the 24/25 season. Again they are 
looking for input from supporters before taking any decisions on cost and 
membership packages. We plan to share a survey with our own members in the 
coming days so please keep an eye out for it landing in your inboxes.

Marching On Together.

[LU] Louie Ward

[John Boocock]

Meassage from Marching Out Together today. I know Mick and his family. 
sound people. A sad time for them. I cetainly will give them a thought 
at 41 mins.


Betty

   The team at Marching Out Together were deeply saddened this week to
   hear of the death of Louie Herbert, one of our members, and son of
   our board member Mick Ward.

   Louie was just 41 and as well as a life-long Leeds fan was a
   tireless campaigner for inclusion, diversity and equality and will
   be missed by all of us fighting for a better world.

   Louie would not have liked the attention of a ‘one minute clap’ at
   Elland Road, but if during the Leicester game, at 41 minutes you
   could have a pause to think about what you can do more to fight for
   equality and to give the team an extra cheer it would be appreciated
   by us all here at MOT and Louie’s friends and family.

Re: [LU] The Story So Far

Hi Tim,

100% agree with you about Moore, he completely changed their game and 
made PNE look more like what they are.


Perhaps we should all start wearing lucky blue suits too :-)

Apart from all that we also need Liverpool to win the league, as they

That is of course the reason that it took so long for us to get 
promoted back to the Premier League, as we had to wait for them to 
break their 30 spell of not winning the league.


Watching the EFL highligts last night it was deeply hilarious to see 
Ipswich go 3-0 down in the manner they did, but I fear that Kieffer 
Moore will be an excellent loan signing for them and get a few goals 
by the end of the season.

[LU] The Story So Far

[John Boocock]

Ipswich's defeat by Preston confirms that our principle barrier to automatic 
promotion should be based on maintaining consistency in our results, followed 
closely by squad fitness and only then by hoping Southampton get deducted 10 
points for er, being Southampton. Why do I say this? Well mainly because our 
situation has always been in our own hands. Think Wendies, Rotherham, 
Sunderland, etc etc..

As regards a cup run, half of me thinks "ah the magic of the cup" and the other 
half thinks "it is adiversion from the real target". Mind you the thought of 
winning the cup, staying in this rather lovely league and laughing at Liverpool 
as we beat them at Wembley plus a trip round Europe has it's merits. 

One other thought, I feel our on field discipline is the best I have ever seen 
(excluding the red card issues which seem to have been resolved). If I had time 
I would look into this further. (Where are the Stattos when we need them?)

In the past three years I have seen every Leeds match bar one from the comfort 
of the armchair (thank you whoever dreamt up Amazon's Firestick) and, although 
I miss being on Row W, the Adolphi and the fun of "Spadge Tours" to Europe, at 
70 I am happy with my lot. Me and my mate Brian have had a lot of fun doing 
this much to the amusement of our fellow villagers in the pub either before or 
after matches. They are mainly Mags or Mackems and they provide us with lots of 
fun. I mean only drawing four all with a big club like Luton. And what fun when 
they played each other in the cup.

I digress. Anyway here's to a season which continues to keep my attention 
firmly fixed on the league and a season where we remain unbeaten at home.

RE: JOHN SYKES Mon, 02 Dec 2013 11:01:24 -0800

Hello,
We are sorry to announce the passing of our father, John Sykes, on Nov. 
12th.  It was unexpected and quick.  He had been diagnosed with cancer 
and within two weeks he was gone. His love for Leeds United was deep. He 
was even talking about it , despite a stroke that affected his speech. 
We will be disabling this email address at the end of the year. we will 
be trying to monitor it until then.

Thank you.

THE LEEDS LIST GLOSSARY AS AT August 28th, 1996

A collection of nicknames, acronyms and descriptions all purporting to 
relate to the unofficial Leeds United AFC internet mailing list, 
composed or edited by Betty Boocock, with several contributions coming 
from the individuals concerned. So, if you're confused and bewildered by 
the in-jokes and strange references on the list, read on and let 
enlightenment flow...


ADOLPHI - Home of the pre match list meet, really called the Adelphi, 
but renamed when it was suggested that the NF might have once met there.


ARMCHAIR - Usual seat taken by most opinionated members of the list, 
preferably in foreign climes where the best view is always available. NB 
the enormous, motorised armchair is Betty's large car built by French 
communists.


BETTY - according to Andy 'Blood on Yer Boots' King, "I seem to remember 
earlier this year you sorted out a few of the listers (Maggie, 
Squiggle?) problems, and for a while the list was more like a ‘Dear 
Aunty Betty the Agony Aunt’ list than a Leeds list". According to Guy: 
"Because of your Betty Boothroyd tendencies during a number of 
disputes." If the truth be known, it is because my Aunty Betty Boocock 
is the only member of the family still left in Swinnow.


BLIND JOHN - Mr John Lukic (a former custodian of the onion bag).

BMW - The Best Mate's Wife. Euphemism for mistress, only used by cads 
and bounders.


BOTL - Birds on The List. The women who contribute to life on the list, 
and that's real women, not transvestites like Betty and Maggie.


BTW - Standard computer nerd acronym for "by the way”. Apparently, this 
saves ink.


CASHBURN, NEWMONEY - (Come on, you can work those out, can't you?)

CHURCH OF THE REAL MAN/YORKSHIRE MAN - situated in the heart of the West 
Leeds triangle of Burley, Headingley and Kirkstall, the Church and its 
leader, Da Reverend John Lee, instructs devotees in the art of 
Grolsch-swilling, currying, nesting, and opinionated conversation, 
especially in the company of students who are not tolerated within the 
Church. Chief doctrines include NO Rabid Canines, no buying Sharp 
products, the sworn aim of the destruction of all things Lancastrian and 
the moving of Parliament to Swaledale. It's anti Southern-Jessy & 
Wearside-maggot philosophies easily identify the brethren. Dress sense 
is casual with attitude, musical preferences eclectic but no hippie 
shit, and a love of Geoffrey Boycott is essential. A definite NO SCABS 
rule applies to membership, regardless of all other criteria, although 
if you've ever shagged Sophie Rayworth you're probably in! Birds are 
tolerated, but only if they're fit, can cook curry or are related to DRB 
by marriage. In short, the brethren of justice and righteousness found 
in the Church of the Real Man/Yorkshire Man are Gods children on Earth, 
reside in the Land of the Gods and will surely one day inherit the Earth 
(and will then proceed to wipe Lancashire off it!).


CHINAMAN - Young Lee Sharpe

DENIS - I ended up with Denis cos after the headshave at Euronet 96, I 
ended up looking like Denis Irwin. Fortunately, my hair's grown back a 
bit now. Still, it's better than being accused of looking like 
'Sutcliffe' a few years ago (not funny I know, but that's southern 
'humour' for you).


dOLEITE - (see SQUIGGLE).

DRB - Custodian of the reserve report and choirmaster of the Choir of 
Unholy Angels, who normally give concerts on the Football Special of a 
match day.


DUNDERHEAD - My list name is not a nickname but in fact my surname. This 
is itself an Anglicisation of our previous, family name of Dumbkopf. My 
great-grandfather, like many first-generation German immigrants during 
the Great War, thought it prudent to change the family name of 
Pimmelkopf to Windsor, but those damned Saxe-Cobourgs had beaten him to 
it. He chose instead the more familiar surname of Dumbkopf, being true 
to his Hanoverian roots while adopting a name commonly understood in 
Great Britain.


FAKE TAN - If it is of any interest, the reason for my moniker Fake-Tan 
is that after my first Adelphi trip before The Witness' hat-trick 
against Ipswich, Da Rev sent this message to the List: "Apologies to 
those of you in't Adelphi last night, I was completely knackered and 
needed a few stiff drinks to get me moving again so wasn't my usual 
whingeing lively self. Good to put a few more faces to names, Dave (RB) 
and Charlie (Is it really that sunny up in Durham or was that fake-tan, 
I think we should be old!!)." To which my reply was: "Well the secret is 
out, thanks to a great night with the Listers in the Adelphi; cheers for 
making me so welcome. Seeing The Witness get a first-half hat-trick 
right in front of us in the Kop was something special. Now the Fake-Tan: 
Take Your Pick, all or none of the 

[LU] Old bastards

[John Boocock]

I am very excited about this old list stuff.

Lee's Local Studies Library is working up to a big thing about fanzines, the 
internet and Leeds United.

I am hoping to start gathering not just reminiscences, but pics, audio and 
stuff for it.

I will post some more info shortly. In the short term, can you tell me how you 
found out about the list and who was your IP at the time. Also any MOALM 
reminiscences and or pics would be welcome too. 

Who has the audio of the WATCCOE? 

Also anyone who wants to talk about the list and what it means please send me 
some thoughts offline.

The whole thing will be a rather big project in 2025.

Re: [LU] Adultery

[John Boocock]

The whole situation looks like the usual 'Pure Leeds' at first sight. However 
it appears that there is more than just the post match argy bargy about why 
such and such a player gets chosen over another or who refused to support 
whatever charity.

And now we hear that although Spurs may have received Spence back into the fold 
he has been transfer listed straight away. Why does nobody want him?

His history, apart from half a season with the Scabs does not suggest a team 
player. Mind you anyone who pisses off Colin Wanker can't be all that bad.

For Spence's part, he has remained schtum. Just check out his social media. 
Farke's presser was circumspect, and the official club line is 'thanks, all the 
best etc..' 

I think if it wasn't for FA Cup weekend, the opening of the transfer window and 
whatever new shit the Tories heap upon us, journos would have more to tell. 
Things will remain just rumours for now.

Long and the short of it is whatever the full tale is, it does allow us a free 
spot for another loanee who may or may not sort out our defensive left side 
issue.

Betty

[LU] FT 3-0

[John Boocock]

A useful win against a very poor team. Nice to see Paddy head one in and two 
other very watchable goals. Kris Klauswunderlichsson had a quiet day in goal 
as, after 15 minutes, this changed line up had worked out a way of constantly 
taking the ball off the Brummies.
For me the best performer was a hyper active Summerville. Kamara looks to have 
gone off the boil a bit. Firpo looks like he has been told to get on with it or 
start looking to rent out his house in Leeds.
Going to miss the cup match as I am on the road but I have already decided 
promotion is more important than seeing yet another cup exit against an in 
inform lower division team.

[LU] Kamara

[John Boocock]

How good was that tonight? There is certainly some belief there. Kamara deffo 
my MOTM but in a very, very good field. 

To see a team actually wanting to win and being able to win is a refreshing 
change. Poor old Meslier,only had to make one save but what a heartstopper. 
Felt sorry for the Leicester lad who hit the post. Bet he really wanted that 
motor boat.

Right, back to my Medieval Scottish History dissertation. Death of James I 
anyone?

Possibly the worst football match I have ever witnessed. Doncha hate Leeds

Leeds United doncha love 'em. Norwich might look good but we were far better. 
There is a really good team emerging here.

The actual interview I saw was of a lad saying something with a broad

he been facing a life in division 2?


I hope he does well (at West Ham if my spies are correct)

I want to go up, if only to see us keeping endless clean sheets every 
match and thumping other teams by at least eight. I want away days in 
Milan, I want to be the top news story in every newspaper, website and 
twitter feed and I want to strut about thinking: Maggots, you lot are 
all maggots. We are on the way to acheiving this and if we don't go up 
as champions we have failed. (On Saturday night I was able to feel a bit 
this way when I went to the pub and had to contend with the maggoty 
Sunderland and Newmoney Scum fans who inhabit large parts of my area).


Remember the words of our song 'At least until the world stops going 
round' which, Sunak and his clowns permitting, is not going to happen 
before the season is over.


Oh and if you have never been to see Brighton at home I recommend it, I 
mean who else sells Piglet's Pies with mash?

[LU] Return to Yesteryear

[John Boocock]

As part of my 70th Birthday year celebrations (my family have insisted 
it is a long drawn out affair - a bit like my life to be honest) I 
started my celebrations in July when I was taken to the opera, since 
then I have had a day at the races and next up is a trip to SOTG (also 
as part of the thankgodthetransferwindowisclosed celebrations).


The choice of the Wendies was purely random but it means I get fed and 
watered in the Centenary Pavilion and then have a mild seizure climbing 
up to block L in the MNES. By about 6.00pm I hope to be in Whitelocks 
before being whisked away back to the Land of the Sad Wartin' Geordies 
(LOTSWG).


I haven't actually reached the actual birthday yet, but if I do it will 
be a wonder after all the excitement of recent days. I will attempt my 
first match report in over one million years if I get as far as Sunday 
without a visit to the LGI or Jimmys.


Betty

P.S. I recommend the Opera at Covent Garden if only for the Coach and 
Horses just down the road which served 'the best pint of Guinness in 
London'.

[LU] Incoming Jaidon (assumed name) Anthony

[John Boocock]

Leeds United are delighted to announce the signing of Jaidon Anthony on loan 
until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The 23-year-old arrives at Elland Road from AFC Bournemouth, in a deal which 
will see Luis Sinisterra head in the opposite direction to the Vitality 
Stadium, for the remainder of the campaign.

Anthony spent his youth career with Arsenal, before going on to join the 
Cherries in 2016.

He went on to make his debut for Bournemouth in December 2020 against Preston 
North End in the Sky Bet Championship, before amassing six further appearances 
throughout the campaign in all competitions.

The following season, Anthony established himself as a key player on the south 
coast, making 45 appearances as Scott Parker’s side won promotion to the 
Premier League.

During the 2021/22 campaign, in which Bournemouth finished as runners-up in the 
second tier, he scored eight goals and provided six assists.

Last season, Anthony helped the Cherries keep their Premier League status, 
featuring 30 times as they finished in 15th place.

The winger has started three of Bournemouth’s four matches in the current 
campaign, with his last outing coming in Tuesday’s 3-2 victory over Swansea 
City in the Carabao Cup.

He becomes the ninth and final arrival of the summer transfer window, alongside 
Ethan Ampadu, Sam Byram, Karl Darlow Ilia Gruev, Glen Kamara, Joel Piroe, Joe 
Rodon and Djed Spence.

Anthony will be unavailable for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against 
Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road, but could make his Leeds United debut after 
the international break against Millwall at The Den, on Sunday 17th September.

[LU] Spence signs

[John Boocock]

Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Djed Spence, on loan from Tottenham 
Hotspur for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.

The 23-year-old full-back becomes the sixth arrival of the summer transfer 
window for Daniel Farke’s side.

Speaking exclusively to LUTV after joining the Whites, Spence gave his thoughts 
on the move.

He said: “It’s good to be here and I can’t wait to get started.

“It’s a big club, obviously there’s a good squad and there is ambition at the 
club to get back to the Premier League. 

“I just want to get playing again. There’s a good manager here, I’ve heard a 
lot about him and way he wants to play attacking football. I think that will 
suit my style of football. 

"I’ve spoken to him [Daniel Farke] and he’s orchestrated in the way he wants to 
play, it sounded good and for me it was the right decision."

Spence joins fellow Spurs loanee Joe Rodon at the club, and he could now make 
his debut against Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire derby at Elland Road this 
weekend.

“Yeah, I know Joe from my parent club [Tottenham Hotspur] and from when I was 
out on loan last season [at Rennes, in Ligue 1],” the full-back explained. 

“It’s good to have a him in the building as well, someone that I know.

“It’s just exciting now to join the team and hopefully I can impress everyone 
here. 

“I’m looking forward to playing at Elland Road, I’ve heard a lot about the 
fans. They are meant to be very loud. 

“We want to win as many games as we can now.”

And his ancestors ruled Egypt

Actually there appears to be a lot of activity on the transfer front at the 
moment, players coming in from Rangers, Nrwich and Germany according to the 
pundit world. I am finding it hard to keep up.

At this rate Meslier will have gone to Germany too. A lot of this could be very 
good business, especially as Gnotgottogo and Cyrencio look to have been seduced 
by our famously measured manager.

Onwards!

I think that is the most salient point John. No amount of money or

Clear out yes that's a must, hopefully with those at the helm having a

[LU] From the officious email stuff

[John Boocock]

Leeds United are delighted to announce the loan signing of central defender Joe 
Rodon.

The 25-year-old Wales international joins the Whites on a season-long deal, 
from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

In September 2019, Rodon earned his first international cap for Wales, playing 
90 minutes to help his country defeat Azerbaijan 2-1.

He was at the heart of the defence to help Wales qualify for UEFA Euro 2020 and 
also helped the Dragons make history, when in June 2022, they qualified for the 
FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1958.

Rodon played in all four of Wales’ UEFA Euro 2020 matches, helping them reach 
the last 16 of the tournament, whilst in Qatar at the FIFA World Cup 2022 he 
also started all three matches.

He now links up with international teammates Ethan Ampadu and

Given that Lido is not here to give me a totally outlandish score prediction I 
will take on that role. Hopefully not as off the mark as his often were, to the 
point where once he predicted we would win 3-2 when we were already 4-1 down! 

Leeds vs Cardiff Lidpredictor Score 2-0.

[LU] Final delve into the archives

This is a fabulous post about the MOALM fron Gav:

Subject: LU: Meet Report

Time for a change at the top of our club I think - Wilko has worked
many wonders but now we need a fresh approach. What we saw on
Sunday is something I've seen too often over recent months and
years.

Football aside it was a memorable weekend, and in the style of
Boocock here are some of the things I remember in an incoherent
order.

==

Roger's suit and tie. The man was a model of sartorial eloquence
(he still went round bellowing "bollocks" every two minutes though)

First ever public appearance of Muckshifter

Brendan McWilliams being 5' 1" instead of the widely expected 7' 2"

Vic's custom-built leeds-uni...@vax.ox.ac.uk jackets

David and Kate Brennan's his and hers matching wembley 96 t-shirts

Voice's brother being a total Boffin

Simon Cunningham and Voice continuing the "trendy bands no one's
heard of" thread (I made an excuse and left to avoid saying anything
embarrassing like "what do you reckon to Abba then?")

Graham White looking, erm, staggering

Four people in Leeds tops in a Pizza parlour asking for their
white wine to be properly chilled and served in an ice bucket

Being I told I don't look like Cantona any more but that top cool
trendy Italian blerk whose name I've forgotten again (remind me
DRB)

James Lundon buying me a pint

Boocock's banner even if it didn't get on telly, complete with
stains

Champagne and curry

Guy Thornton's threadbare wolley hat and the little plastic model
of him above the bar in the Constitution (right down to the
moustache)

Stuart Lee nibbling his pint of lager nervously till Bob Case
arrived with his raffled ticket

Singing outside the Fox and Hounds after the police "raid" which
some intemperate next door neighbour provoked at the uneartly hour
of 10:45pm.

Finally meeting another of the list's Andy Kings

John Lee being described as "a fat version of Gary Speed"

The extremley loud-mouthed whingeing lass sat behind me in the
ground shutting up a bit after I told her to (well really it was
worse than the list on one of its hungover/pissed off days except
that I couldn't delete it)

Some blerk winding Vic's elbow up and down saying "I am a Leeds fan from
Leeds, You are a Leeds fan from Los Angeles: I shake your hand"

Revd Lee distributing Opal Fruits at half time

Talking Welsh to Mike Cheetam's girlfriend

Talking crap to just about everyone else (okay my Welsh wasn't
exactly much kop either)

The poor kid who wandered into the Constitution, packed with Leeds,
with a Man U bag on his back.

Wobbley Stadium - 3.20 for a "double hotdog"?  "We don't sell chips
separately"?? I'll be bringing salmon paste sarnies and a flask of
Mellow Birds for the Euro 96 games (anyone else off to that btw?)

Realising there were two Boococks about - Boocock and Brother of
Boocock. A sobering thought, but not for long

Gary MacAllister walking resolutely round the Leeds fans at the end
of the game to acknowledge us - Nice one Gary.

Police-people irritatingly making us walk the length and breadth of
Wembley train station to get to our train on the way back instead
of letting us straight down the steps to it - then shouting at Adam
Woodhall for sticking his foot in the door as we sprinted to make it.

Becks getting bought drinks by everybody, all the time

Wondering whatever happened to Mark Humphries and Glynn Robinson

Rumours sweeping the pub that Joo Tan was present

Tim Sherlock laughing at an Amazing Joke which he refused to repeat

Nigel Kinder leaving as soon as I arrived

Voice of Football is a wanker is a wanker

... well that'll do. Well done people who did any organising for
the meets. It was Probably The Best List Meet In The World.

Shame about the footie.

Cheers,

BOOCOCK TO PLAY AGIN BOLTON SHOCK

Yep, it's true!

The boss rang me on Saturday night to say that he'd heard about me 
playing Left
half for Priestley house in the 1965/6 season when we lost every match 
in the
1st year house championship.  I agreed that there were mitigating 
factors, but

that we would have won every match if we hadn't lost we would have won every
match if we hadn't lost.  The boss seemed to understand this and said 
that there
was an old shirt of Mel Sterland's that might fit me.  "A darts thrower 
is what
we need and that's what we'll have A darts thrower is what we need and 
that's

what we'll have" he said.

I am looking for a kit sponsor, so far I've had offers from Jeff Skinner
(Precious Metals) of Armley and Catalina Cars (1991) Ltd. of 
Stanningley.  This

should more than cover the cost of the bolt of cloth for my shorts. The
motorised armchair will get a paint job from Herbies of Alness - it will say
"Boocock of The Gods" on the bonnet and "We hate Chelsea" in blood on 
the boot.

I have also received an invitation to endorse a couple of cafes at Whingate.

I'm looking forward to the dressing room crack with Macca and the lads 
who have
all agreed that I should wear the skip's armband.  I have spoken to 
Lesley who
says that she'll be in the stand wearing a Boocock Fu*cks Pigs shirt and 
she'll

be in the dressing rooms afterwards with some embrocation for my dicky
leg.

My new single "He's Fat, He's Crap, He fu*cks Pigs but he's Boocock" 
will be out
on Feb 1st - the backing group will most likely be the Clarry Wilson 
Combo or

the duo from the Mainline Social Club at Greenthorpe.

The missus's old feller came from the land of the sad alcoholic so I will be
able to get a game in Europa '96 too on account of McCoist going off the 
boil.

I've always wanted to play for my country and this one will do for me.

Anyroad I must be off as I've got to bone up on girlie sports like ice 
hockey

for my appearance on A Question of Sport.

[LU] latest Updates from Euronet er, 96

[John Boocock]

Leeds (Inter Lard)
Well, if the expression `No Pain-no gain!' is true, my body would 
indicate that I've just won the World Cup single-handed yesterday - I 
ache like a b***ard!!
So, to the highlights. First game and a 2-0 victory courtesy of goals 
from Sean Gaffney, a close range header from a long throw by moi, the 
second by Ade Thompson in a goalmouth scramble following a corner. Solid 
performance from the Lards - Vinny and Sean commanding in midfield and 
with Simon Hart and the immovable objects that are Jon Abbott and Mike 
Eslea in central defence, we never looked like losing! We also had an 
excellent goalie in James Tinman Lawson!
Bring on the Arse - in truth we struggled in this one. We couldn't get a 
grip of the midfield and their use of the wind to hoik it down our left 
flank caused us all sorts of problems, with only some resolute defending 
saving us. However, the tide turned some 4 minutes from the end when 
their keeper, with a peculiar red-coloured hair which had prompted `he's 
got a strawberry on his head' throughout the game, failed to hold a 
Vinny shot and Rob Gray pounced from two yards out! Worst aspect of the 
game was Simon Hart being injured and out for the rest of the tournament 
- we missed him badly!

Leeds v Man U
And then it was Scum. As Scum had scored more goals than us in winning 
their two games, we had to beat them - a draw was no good! Well on the 
whole this tournament was played in an excellent spirit, but to say 
there was an edge to this one was the understatement of the day! Some 
crunchingly effective tackling saw our Mancunian foes halted time and 
again. I got the `one more time and your off' from the ref, but pride of 
place was taken by Andy Hoskyns by an above the knee dreadfully late 
hard whack at a passing Scummer - he was dutifully booked (if I'd been 
reffing I'd have sent him off!) - the only player to be booked on the 
day, although to be fair, the standard of referring was variable! 
Anyway, supported by a vast crowd, including practically ALL the other 
clubs present, the Lards pressed on until, in another goalmouth scramble 
3 minutes from time Ade Thompson somehow got the ball in their net!
Bedlam ensued, with a full scale pitch invasion by supporters and 
players of ALL teams - Scum must have felt VERY alone! I even saw the 
Villa goalkeeper doing a huge belly-flop a la Klinnsman in the box - 
madness! The next 3 minutes seemed like half an hour! Then disaster, 
they got a free kick just outside our box with about a minute to go! 
Breath was held, as indeed were plums in our wall - the cocky git 
chipped it over us, plums were unclenched as James punched the ball over 
the bar, only for a Scummer to claim he'd been pushed! But, no dice from 
the ref! Voice's head met the corner and then it was all over. Another 
pitch invasion and off we went with `1-0, we beat the Scum 1-0' ringing 
in our ears. This was our final and we'd won!

The Voice
Sitting around for an hour or so, having been sizzled by a scorching sun 
all day, did little for us, and our game against QPR in the semi 
resulted in a 6-1 defeat. A little harsh, especially as 3 of their goals 
were top corner specials that could've gone anywhere. Boro did everyone 
a favour by beating them 1-0 in the final! And when the ref, our own Jon 
Abbot, disallowed a QPR goal for offside on the advice of the linesman, 
our own Simon Tobias, there was much satisfaction for us all!!


Finally, I'd like to thank Voice for yesterday - I certainly wouldn't 
want to do it again for a while but I think everyone enjoyed the 
occasion, the organisation was as flawless as maybe it was possible to 
be (although the medal inscriptions of Euronet Space 96 winners probably 
peeved him no end!) AND we beat the Scum in a game that really mattered. 
Nice one Dave - I hope your young 'un has recovered from the trauma of 
seeing you have your head shaved too?

The REV
knackered!

 (LU) FIRST JOKE ON T'NEW LIST?

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud
pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a
drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3 o'clock in the morning!"

He slams the door and returns to bed. "Who was that?" asked his wife.
"Just some drunken guy asking for a push," he answers. "Did you help
him?" she asks. "No, I did not! Its 3 o'clock in the morning and it is
pouring out there!"

"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember
about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us?
I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding
rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?" "Yes"
comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband. "Yes, Please!" comes
the reply from the dark. "Where are you?" asks the husband. "Over
here... on the swing!" replies the drunk.

[John Boocock]

I take it that everyone has read this too. LUST are probably already 
preparing for The March On Rome. "Our program is simple: we want to rule 
Beeston."


https://theathletic.com/4568028/2023/06/01/leeds-elland-road-sampdoria-radrizzani

Leeds United’s chairman Andrea Radrizzani offered to use the club’s 
Elland Road stadium as security for a £26million bank loan which his 
company, Aser, and a bidding partner, Gestio Capital, intended to use to 
complete a takeover of the Italian club Sampdoria. Under a heads of 
terms agreement co-signed by Radrizzani — essentially an agreement in 
principle — Elland Road would act as collateral as part of a deal by 
Radrizzani’s Aser and his bidding partner Gestio Capital to borrow €30m 
(£25.8m; $32.1m) from Italian bank Banca Sistema, helping to fund their 
Sampdoria buy-out.


The proposed bridging loan would be due for repayment within two years, 
and also contains clauses showing that the bank would charge interest of 
provisionally between six and nine per cent per year during this period. 
However, the agreement would also enable the loan to be extended for up 
to a decade, which throws open the possibility that Leeds United’s home 
could act as security for Radrizzani’s Italian venture on Sampdoria for 
10 years. The current status of the proposed loan and the extent to 
which it has progressed beyond a heads of terms agreement is unclear, 
but no charge has been registered, at the time of publication, on 
Companies House, the executive agency of the British government that 
maintains the register of companies.
The Leeds stadium is not owned by Leeds themselves but was bought by 
Radrizzani in 2017, shortly after he became owner of the Yorkshire club.


In a further twist, however, sources close to the takeover process 
insisted on Thursday morning that Leeds board members, including the 
49ers and the club’s chief executive Kinnear, had not been informed of 
the proposal to use Elland Road as security against the loan. The 
sources added that Marinelli, a Leeds board member, an officer of Elland 
Road Ltd and the CEO of Aser, who are part of the group attempting to 
take over Sampdoria, had also not been informed. Radrizzani did not 
respond to a request for comment on this point. It is understood the 
49ers were only informed about Radrizzani’s proposal on Wednesday 
evening after The Athletic’s initial approach. It remains unclear 
whether the agreement in principle has progressed further, or if 
Radrizzani ultimately opted for a different approach to secure funding, 
but it is remarkable in itself that the Leeds chairman was prepared to 
put his name to securing the stadium of his current club against a loan 
to buy a different club. It is also likely to strain relations between 
Radrizzani and the 49ers just at the point supporters may be hoping they 
will thrash out a final agreement for a takeover. In an email to The 
Athletic on Wednesday evening, Radrizzani said: “You are not well 
informed as the deal has been done by Gestio Capital.” Gestio Capital 
did not respond to a request for comment.


A bit more from the article…

Leeds United’s chairman Andrea Radrizzani offered to use the club’s 
Elland Road stadium as security for a £26million bank loan which his 
company, Aser, and a bidding partner, Gestio Capital, intended to use to 
complete a takeover of the Italian club Sampdoria. Under a heads of 
terms agreement co-signed by Radrizzani — essentially an agreement in 
principle — Elland Road would act as collateral as part of a deal by 
Radrizzani’s Aser and his bidding partner Gestio Capital to borrow €30m 
(£25.8m; $32.1m) from Italian bank Banca Sistema, helping to fund their 
Sampdoria buy-out. Leeds were only relegated from the Premier League to 
the Championship on Sunday afternoon but their majority owner Radrizzani 
was not present at the final match of the campaign as he instead sought 
to finalise an agreement for Sampdoria.


Leeds are majority-owned by Radrizzani but the club’s minority 
shareholder, 49ers Enterprises, has been in discussions to acquire 
control of the club. No agreement has yet been reached, however, and 
sources close to the takeover process, who like others in this article 
wished not to be named to protect business relationships, told The 
Athletic that the 49ers had not been informed about the stadium being 
put forward as the security for a potential loan. Less than 24 hours 
after Radrizzani announced that an agreement had been reached in 
principle for his group to purchase Sampdoria, The Athletic learned that 
a proposal had earlier been drawn up which meant that in order for the 
bank to approve the loan, it would be secured against Leeds’ Elland Road 
ground, which is controlled by Elland Road Ltd, the UK company which 
controls the stadium.


The proposed bridging loan would be due for repayment within two years, 
and also contains clauses showing that the bank would charge interest of 
provisionally between 

[LU] LUST Statement

[John Boocock]

I make no comment

https://lufctrust.com/article/relegation-it-s-impossible

At the start of the season, Andrea Radrizzani brazenly dismissed the 
risk of a survival battle for Leeds United, claiming relegation was 
"impossible".


Well Andrea, it all feels very possible right now.

The responsibility for our relegation lies with the people in charge. In 
another long, frustrating, and depressing season, the club has either 
made the wrong decisions or taken too long to make the right ones, 
leading to poor and forced choices.


We won't list the failures and shortcomings here - it's plain to see 
what has gone wrong. It feels like a lifetime ago since the standards of 
Marcelo Bielsa turned this club into something Leeds United fans could 
be proud of, and we are now, quite literally, back in the same place we 
were 5 years ago.


The fans can once again say that we have upheld our part of the bargain. 
We have suffered watching poor football and worse results but have 
consistently supported the players and stuck with the team until the 
bitter end.


Despite this, there has often been a level of contempt shown for fans. 
We have seen the (ex) Director of Football goading fans, the Owner 
making outlandish statements in the media (and directly to fans on 
Twitter), and day-to-day supporter services and match day experience 
significantly decline.


Trust has to be rebuilt between ownership and the wider fan base.

As we prepare for life back in the Championship what can we expect? Who 
will own the club come August?


How soon can we expect to see key staff appointments made?

Earlier this week, we put the following questions to the club to try and 
understand what is in the plans going forward.


 *

   What do you believe has gone wrong?

 *

   What are the plans for the club's ownership and how quickly can we
   expect a definitive answer?

 *

   When will a Director of Football/Head of Football Recruitment
   appointment be made and what will the recruitment strategy be?

 *

   Do we expect to start the new season with a new manager and how
   quickly are those decisions going to be made?

 *

   How does the club's ownership structure plan to re-engage with
   fans and rebuild the trust they acquired during our promotion from
   the Championship?

The club responded to say they will be addressing the entire fanbase and 
their concerns directly post the final game.


This is a group of fans that fear what the future holds post-relegation 
more than most others, given how traumatic the previous Premier League 
relegation was.


We need clarity and reassurance, and we need it very soon.

Marching on together.

[LU] Maggot Heaven

[John Boocock]

Nice to see the Wearside Maggots staying where they belong. Geldhart seems to 
have adopted the role of Brady (the invisible man) since he was dispatched to 
the Stadium of Shite.

[LU] One rule for them

[John Boocock]

So for Man City it is not a penalty, nor a sending off, whilst for Leeds it is 
both. As well as feeling disappointed about his day, Firpo must think there are 
two sets of rules operating in English football. F*ck VAR!

Re: [LU] Twitter & Bamford

[John Boocock]

Simon said of Firpo: 'At least he managed to get himself sent off so we won’t 
see him in a Leeds shirt again.' If only it had happened earlier, he and 
Aaronson are two of the least able, least consistent players in the squad. 
Speaking of consistency, Joe Robles almost joined Firpo for an early bath too. 
In our predicament discipline is of prime importance.

Watching Everton Vs Citeh. Did they not watch our match against them?

Sam Allardyce: Leeds United's new manager was 'shocked' to be offered the job 
but is 'prepared' for the challenge -

Not as shocked as I was.

Sam Allardyce: In addition to his football career, Allardyce has also 
run a number of businesses, including a motor spares firm, a fast-food 
restaurant, a social club, a pub, a piano bar, and a pub restaurant. 
Perfect choice in my book. makes Bates look like an amateur, says the 
man who is a year older than Big Sam.

[LU] Hier Soir

[John Boocock]

Having struggled through the last two matches manfully, I was prepared 
for the very worst last night. I cheered up no end with Sinisterra's 
great goal, but by the time we had reached 60 minutes it was clear that 
normal service had been resumed.


Yes Harrison looked the best of the bunch even if his aim is sometimes 
wayward and yes Meslier had a much better game (admittedly against a 
less skilled attack), and here's another but, why the hell did we ever 
buy Aaronson, McKennie or our new bench warmer Rutter?


Surely we have more potential amongst the kids? Just cast your mind back 
to the handover from Graham to O'Leary and see what happened. Yes I know 
Risible had his shaky hands all over some very expensive signings after 
that, but surely the time is fast approaching when we will see the folly 
of shoving out James, Clarke and Geldhart whilst relying on Marsh's best 
mates from a world where football is clearly a figment of someone's 
imagination.


We need someone with a properly organised footballing brain in charge, 
even if that means preparing for what I consider to be the joys of the 
only real League in England, the Championship.


The shadow of our recent past still hangs over us and round every corner 
there appear to be traps set by those involved in that past. Those sat 
in the board room should perhaps think about what renewal is required to 
combat that past as until whoever is in there this week does that we 
will continue to look backwards. In fear of our own shadows.


On the other hand if we stay up.

Betty

Re: [LU] Hands up..........

[John Boocock]

Me and my mate Broughie decided a draw would be a start (this decision 
was made without the aid of artificial stimulants, alcohol or the sort 
of buzz we should get when Scum have just stuffed the Scabs).


But yes Rob, there is, as you say: apprehension.

After last week, the best I'm hoping for is an honourable loss and the
avoidance of another embarrassing shipment of goals. Anything above that
would be a massive bonus.

Re: [LU] Supporters Advisory Board

[John Boocock]

Re 'the elephant in the room', I well remember being subject to a very similar 
feeling in a meeting with Ridsdale a hundred years ago. The difference then 
being that the off field activities were also in turmoil. When football clubs 
start 'engaging' with supporters in this way I always wonder 'whatever are they 
going to wheel out next?' Hopefully it isn't a pescatarian hobby..

Most of the items reported on in those minutes mirror those of meetings held in 
the past, the typing and layout is better though. And they are discoverable on 
the club website. There might just be hope..

Re: [LU] Southampton - WE WON

[John Boocock]

The view from the armchair was pretty good too. As Dave says we won, and 
when me and my mate Broughie entered one of our two local pubs we let 
everyone know (especially the Crag Rats who seem to descend on the 
Northern Pennines more often still since Lockdown.


I am still not convinced by Aaranson, he has flashes of brilliance but 
then quickly goes off the boil. I am very impressed with Wobel, he is 
fit, hard to beat and accurate. Broughie and I thought that Ayling 
(apart from his shot at row W -and even that failed) is playing well 
recently, although his best is probably only 85% in some people's eyes, 
but we are where we are.


Some great work rates on the field too. I haven't seen the stats but it 
looked to me as if we had the better of all the one on ones. The 
shithouserie from Southampton shows just how desperate they are. That 
big galoot they have up front cost them £18 mill, remind me again how 
much Willie cost.


Very satisfied as my hangover this morning proves.

We won!
