OK, FWIW here's my take. Our wage bill has skyrocketed, we invested significantly in the coaching staff, in financial terms the club like almost all others has running costs that vastly outweigh income and AR is unwilling to put any more of his money into the club or sell to 3rd parties. The

I read the article and got no answers only that they'd refused another £35 million of offers.  Yes we don't want another Ridsdale situation but 27 million out and not a penny spent in can be considered sensible or just lacking in ambition.  As I say, promotion on the cheap hopefully. On

I think youll find answers to a few of the questions you raised and context for the decisions made. We all lived through the excesses of Ridsdale and asset stripping of Bates, so ARs way of doing it seems sensible. Sent from my Mobile. From: Leedslist on

I always remember from my Shoot Leeds United wallchart of 1975 (or maybe it was the Daily Mirror) that one of the factors of the 73/74 title was the fact that Leeds used many less players over the year than anyone else (14 sticks in the memory but I've not checked). .. Of course it

Well our "best" defender (for whom only received offers from Brentford) been replaced by White. Roofe wanted to go, and we've got a highly thought of player highest scorer in Premier League U23. Clarke has been loaned back to us. Costa bought in and a few U23 look like they might step up.

If this kid and the keeper are only signings today questions have to be asked.  Our best defender, top goalscorer and best youngster sold for millions to be replaced by an Arsenal U-23 loanee who is apparently a wonderkid but has only played 8 times for Arsenal in the last 2 years.  I'd be
