Never forget him almost single-handedly losing that game against Newcastle, after we'd gone 3-1 up.
No link or picture but I'm guessing its referring to Ian Harte...and there's no almost about it!!
Harte indeed. Well done that man...:

Road sweeper?
l.q.navarro.
Mmm don't know. He could do a job at centre half, or deep lying midfielder. Ball distribution + footballing ability wise, he's still far better than what we've got.

What is he now - early 40's?

He should be in pretty good nick. He certainly won't be worn out by running too quick or twisting and turning...

Have they really signed him or is it just a cruel joke?

[quote]Leeds United’s academy chiefs are involved in an ugly stand-off with the nPower Championship club’s vice-chairman over his demands that the teenage son of a business acquaintance is given a place in the youth set-up, The Times has learnt.
Idris Tahar, an 18-year-old of North African descent, was given a couple of trials at Leeds’s academy last month on the insistence of Salah Nooruddin, the Bahrain-based businessman who was appointed the club’s vice-chairman a fortnight ago.[/quote]

Cowboys and Indians.
The Times has tonight sensationally reported that the teenage son of a friend of recently appointed Leeds United vice-chairman Salah Nooruddin could force his way into the academy. Idris Tahar, 18 years of age, was given a trial at Thorp Arch and rejected on the grounds that he was “simply not good enough”.
As reported by James Ducker, Tahar’s rejection has caused tension at the club. Despite his friend’s son showing no aptitude for the game over a series of trials, Nooruddin has reportedly caused “an ugly stand-off” by insisting that Tahar be given a place at the club’s academy, famous for producing quality player after quality player over the years, not least the likes of Sam Byram and Tom Lees who have recently been selected to represent England in this summer’s international tournaments.
Nooruddin was appointed as Leeds’s vice chairman two weeks ago, and with this appointment came rumours that he was being lined up as Ken Bates’s replacement when the incumbent chairman retires at the end of the season. Nooruddin has ties to IIB, the bank that purchased a ten percent stake in Leeds United earlier this year.
With rumours regarding GFH’s continued ability to fund the club rampant and the merger of a GFH owned bank with another local institution in order to shore up their security announced yesterday, this new news will likely not come as a positive for Leeds fans, well versed in the notion of owners with no understanding making trouble for their club. Speculation has also become rampant in the last few weeks as to the whereabouts of Salem Patel, who remains, according to the latest announcement, a director of the club. Regarded by those who have spoken to him as a genuine, honest character who seemed to have been bitten by the Leeds bug, Patel’s absence is unfortunate, especially as it seems to have coincided with the appointment of Nooruddin, who has seemingly shown his lack of credentials with this bizarre and nepotistic move.

Same shit, different era... Leeds 'bid' for man who is on 25k a week by offering him a pay cut.
http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-face-fight-with-celtic-over-wolves-striker-doyle-1-5740385Apparently we are 'chasing four', and the my money is on more free transfers....
And so it goes on
Raposa
25k a week for that??
Cunt deserves a paycut..Wolves didn't exactly get value for money did they?
Must be better out there for half those wages.
Lets hope he signs for the IRA.

Sensible comment under that article:
It fills the normal speculaiton routine of the YEP .. a) he was involved with the current manager at a previous club b) he is available. ... remember the other two types are c) Played for Leeds (i.e. Beckford / Harte rumours) d) a former leeds player is involved in the club set up.. Not surprised on this link.
