Leeds now

Jon

Mitaman People seem eager for it to happen without knowing what it will entail. There seems to be an assumption that there’ll be an injection of cash. Maybe there will be but there’s been nothing to suggest this will happen that I’m aware of, unless I’ve missed something? In fairness, there’s been nothing to say that there won’t be either.
The 49ers are good at not say much at all really from what I’ve seen so far.

Mitaman

Jon You will know more than me on this subject but I am sure US sports teams/ franchises aren’t run like English football clubs? When US buyers look at European football clubs, its through a very different lens. For this reason, it makes me wonder what they hope to achieve, other than an initial bump on their original investment? Later share purchases would gave been bought at EPL valuation.

Most purchases, for good or bad, are easy to understand, this one I find puzzling.

Foxy_Dread

If it was going to be a leveraged buyout wouldn't it have happened already? That is a question and not a point.

What other things have the 49ers investment arm invested in? Any signs of ruthlessness?

Does the your gut feeling make you want to stick with Radz?

Mitaman

Foxy_Dread If it was going to be a leveraged buyout wouldn’t it have happened already?

Difficult unless you wholly own the asset. Why would Radz allow a minority shareholder loading their debt into his business?

EEPW

Must admit this has been worded to make Jessie look bad. even if this DID happen then i doubt he said that this is how we play now, that in itself just doesnt make sense? maybe he said that this is how we need to learn to play? Not that i doubt your stories or the source but it all smacks of an individual who is being left out in the cold and is leaking out negative crap about Marsch. If this was the general sentiment in the squad it would transfer to the pitch, but we are seeing a team who are fighting to the end and giving all for the manager. My money is still on Harrison and if it is he needs fuckng off sharpish

Foxy_Dread

EEPW why does footballer trying equate to unequivocal support for the manager?

Foxy_Dread

Foxy_Dread 7 of the 11 who launched the comeback are bound to be giving their all. Three because Marsch signed them, three because they are trying to win a place in the team, the other is a goalkeeper.

That leaves Cooper, Struijk - honest pro's. Koch, Rodrigo hoping to go to the World Cup.

The people who may be fucked off with Marsch are Klich, Harrison, Gelhardt and Drameh. Firpo, I'm not sure.

Supporters narratives are changed disproportionately by goals. If Greenwood hits the post, then we struggle to make any inroads against them and the game peters out, what spin are supporters putting on it then?

Harrison, raved about earlier in the season, useless now. Summerville, not good enough, now his performances are good enough - or is it the goals. Bamford, essential to the team, oh how his stock has fallen.

EEPW

Foxy_Dread Its not as black and white as that, but it sounds like your man is trying to imply that Marsch has lost (or indeed never won) the dressing room? unless im reading it wrong? The players dont seem to give that impression on the pitch. just an observation

Foxy_Dread

Mitaman thanks. So if Radz keeps a decent percentage after the majority shareholding is 49ers, we have some protection?

Djpekingman

Foxy_Dread Not if the septics have a majority shareholding. He may protest but it'll be like whistling in the dark. If he's any business sense he'll dump the lot and leave the septics to it if happens. It'll for sure be a leveraged buyout a la Glazers and we'll be fucked for donkeys.

Foxy_Dread

After 15 games last season we had 16pts. After 15 games this season we will have 15 points.

Djpekingman

Djpekingman Having said that, our next match is against Citeh. You're probably right!

Harvest

Bloke at work was talking to the Leeds player on Sunday...
Incidentally, I know I sound like a dick passing on all these whispers but I think it's of interest. The lad is genuinely good friends with a first teamer, I see the texts and have heard a couple of conversations. I'll name him if he leaves
... anyway. At 3-2 Ayling was told to come on to make a flat back five. Ayling protested saying it would leave Adams too exposed and that they weren't used to playing with five, said it was the wrong thing to do. He was still told to get on. Four minutes later we'd shipped two goals.

Can't they mutiny or something?

Loose_Lips

Harvest if thats true its pretty damning.

Bod

I reckon its Harrison or Ayling himself, can't see it being U21,s, too young, one of those 2 could be asking for a loan move as well 🤔

YoungParisian_inExile

Bod Purely based on haircuts, man-buns with under-shaving in particular, ... i have no objection to either being moved on

Loose_Lips

I have a beard.

I'd fucking love a man bun.

Baldness is gonna get me. I feel compelled.

Mitaman

‘’There were limbs, just for a penalty’’ 😂.

Djpekingman

So Leeds are coming to Elche for a winter friendly. My second closest local club (after the mighty Hercules). And I’ll be about as far away as you can get. Bastards. What shit timing.
