Warnock Signals That Take Over Millions Will Not Be Spent By Leeds

So that's nearly it then. Warnock wants a striker and somebody to play wide right, but his squad is all but assembled - before the take over dosh flows through the Bahrain oil pipe line.

And how much have Leeds spent exactly? Taking into account the £3m for Snakeinthegrass and the unidisclosed fee for Clayton, the answer is probably close to nothing. Which is all very strange if this takeover is really happening!

And how is the squad shaping up? Looking at it objectively, you have to say that Warnock has probably made the best of a bad job. Snodgrass will be a huge loss, and I fancy Clayton to flourish at Huddersfield, but it seems both were determined to leave so Warnock's hands were tied.

And with Master Bates refusing to invest in the squad, using the smokescreen of the take over as a perfect excuse, Warnock found himself shopping on Skid Row rather than Billionaire's Boulevard. He has begged, stolen and not yet borrowed a decent bunch of seasoned pros (most of whom are old enough to entertain Wayne Rooney if dressed up in stockings and suspenders it is true) who can probably be relied upon to put in a shift when the going gets tough.

But is "putting in a shift" enough? Maybe, just maybe, the next two signings will set the pulses racing. Maybe Warnock has lined up a marquee signing or two to excite the Leeds faithful and give more of a cutting edge to the team; if not, I predict Leeds will finish outside the top six, Arab owners or not, and that will be deemed failure by most.

However, given the length of contracts offered to the Warnock journeymen, it seems the ex Shafting United boss and Master Bates are not anticipating being in the Prem any time soon!

He said this 3 weeks ago, have you been on holiday, or are you just suffering from dementia, the latter I think. You know even I don't write as much about Leeds Utd as you do and I support them. I'd go see a psychiatrist if I were you because you really are lacking something. Have a nice day.

hammersfan lets be serious now. you say you adopt leeds as your championship club. we dont need you to. but is it really because despite everybody saying were not famous anymore, alot of people still talk and or moan about leeds. nobody doing that about west ham. maybe deep down you just want to support a decent club with best fans in the world .

Seeing and reading your comments is the equivalent of getting dog-shite on your shoes: it smells and can't be easily removed

By the by, your comments on the lunatic who threw the bottle verged on the racist: I advise you to desist.

Please go away and amuse yourself with blowing bubbles.

Its amazing how much knowledge you have about running the finances of a football club. Fact, football clubs have to survive within their means and therefore only spend what they can afford. If you were any good you would have a job rather than have the occupation of being a wind up merchant. You like to give it but can you take it, I doubt you can, you are a COWARD and hide behind your crap. If you have so much opinion about LUFC I invite you come to Elland Road to address us with your thoughts. If you would like to take me up on this invite please let me know via your website.

Since when have Chelsea, Man City or a host of other clubs, lived within their means? Did Risdale operate on that basis?

Ken Bates has made approx £2m in the transfer market this summer. There's no TO, never was.

to be honest mate id be more worried about your own club at the moment. with a couple more players i think weve got the making of a decent squad.on the other hand you look to be in for a long hard season.

Correction, what you mean is we won't be playing wet spam any time soon, as you won't be in the premiership any time soon.....

Can you stop the constant antagonism with ridiculous comments like that? Do Chelsea and Man City live within their means, did Risdale? It doesn't even have any meaning and certainly doesn't warrant an answer (no I didn't answer btw but I bit ha ha ha)

Anonymous said...

unfortunately I think you're right HF. Journeymen and solid squad men. But zero strength in depth. And zero flair. And this takeover nonsense has been a Bates smokescreen from the start. Period.

Anonymous said...

I enjoy your banter and debate, even though you tend to look on the dark side when it comes to Leeds :-). I think you are right when it comes to what we have spent, which is very little on the whole. However, there is no money to spend is there? Ken will not be freeing up any money if he is selling the club and the potential new owners won't be willing to put any money in until they own it? So Colin has to wheel and deal. Some good pros but we need some flair now. I think that the takeover is still on otherwise Ken, never one to need much of an excuse to spout off, would have been all over the press. Interesting few weeks ahead I think and if the takeover is not completed then it may be another year of misery.

Personally think the group Warnock has put together will do really well. Clayton is shite. No big loss. As for West Ham.. Relegation

Anonymous said...

clayton was inconsistant and there are better players than snodgrass for £3 million hence why warnock let them go. his track record of promotions is great so i think he knows a bit more than you when it comes to squads capable of gaining promotion.

The thing about Hammersfan is that he attracts the idiots by his provocative comments. There's probably more idiot Leeds Fans around because there's more Leeds Fans in general around. Hammersfan's Blogs are more often than not childish and borish and the comments he gets from those who respond are indicative of the audience he appeals to. He's capable of writing intelligent copy, however more often than not its rubbish which gets the idiots wound up. Don't blame the idiot's, blame the idiot writer.

See the Leeds fans are showing their class, lack of proper grammar (it's YOU'RE not YOUR, which seems to be prevelant throughout the LUFC fans postings) and lack of overall intelligence.
If you can't think of anything better to put then some drivvle about resorting to violence or throwing pathetic insults, don't bother.
I like LUFC and hope to see them have a turn around in fortunes but some of you guys really do show your supporters in a bad light.

Yes it's sad but it's also true, all Leeds players are average at best which means Leeds won't be getting promoted any time soon. The takeover isn't gonna happen so we have to forget about that & the new signings have cost next to nothing & to top all that we go & sell our best player (again). Let's get real people, Leeds will do well to Finnish in the top half this coming season & the same old mugs will turn up week in week out & pay far too much money to watch a fairly average team. Well at least your all making mr Bates happy!!

I think that most of what Hammersfan says is a load of cobblers. Coincidentally, the Cobblers humiliated the mighty, perennial underachievers at the Ham 3-1. Good luck with the forthcoming relegation battle Hammersfan. Here's a subject worthy of debate on a West Ham blog. Which would you prefer, a relegation battle in which you play football or a relegation battle watching hoof ball? Discuss!

19:15 - you are mistaken. Than is used in terms such as I am better THAN (you obviously), whereas you apply then as I used it. I used then to say speak if u have a constructive point if u don't THEN shut it.
Suggest u do the latter mate before u make yourself look even more of a ... TWET ... ooh look i got muddled up again!!

Still like LUFC but u prove my original point, lighten up people. Life's too short, HF winds up us WHU fans all too often. Truth hurts sometimes tho.
