All 3?!

Re: 2019 | Squad : Tue Sep 04, 2018 7:12 am  

The problem we have is similar to LUFC who had some poor players on long term contracts.
We need to find clubs that will take these players or the players themselves need to realise they will not get picked and therefore they need to move on at a reduced salary.
I doubt for one minute those who have contracts will move for less money so we are stuck.
Decent players will not come to this once great club anymore as they are no longer guaranteed silverware.
The club must start at the top and get a flipping good coach and try and attract better players again similar to LUFC.
My fear is that we are bust and have no money in the pot and we just might get relegated.
Whilst it gave us all a boost that we were getting a couple of nice new shiny stands it could well be our downfall.

JJB is the most vulnerable - he has said he wants to go round again so I expect that to happen. Ablett will definitely get an extension - that leaves Delanney - he will inexpensive so I expect him to get an extension too

just because he wants it doesn't mean it should happen. no doubt it will.

I think a lot of questions on how the club is fixed financially will be answered at the end of the season weather we are in SL or not . We will have an indication on how the club invests in recruitment

This is Leeds we are taking about - half the posters on here think he should tell the club when he wants to retire.

I just don't see Leeds saying no - they seldom let players go early, how many extension did Kylie get.

I'm not disagreeing Sal, but its exactly this that has got us into this position.

I agree - that plus promoting juniors who are simply not good enough e.g. Sutcliffe, Handley, Briscoe, Keinhorst and poor recruiting e.g. Ormonroyd, Aston etc.
