Bouncing Owl Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Stoke are making scum look like Real Madrid! They won’t challenge, scum! Liam Cooper and Berardi at centre half and Philips and Klich in the middle. It’s about as bad as it gets in the championship. There is plenty of movement from their attacking players tho.

Ever the pessimist Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Without aping that ubertit JV they have had their commercial side doing well for a while (helped of course by a bigger, wealthier catchment area). They have also had about 15 years of poor decisions/ owners so maybe just eventually got one right. Let’s also not forget this could be a false dawn.

Athelwulf Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It's unlikely Leeds will be able to keep that up all season, any more than they did under Monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantham Man Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 As 'first game of the season' performances go, Leeds look organised, aggressive, fluent, confident and full of individual flair. Looking at our performance against Wigan, we showed none of these qualities often enough for long enough. Early season or not, it's disheartening.

Ground full, replica shirts galore, proper shirt sponsor, advertising boards constantly rotating proper sponsors. Forgetting the football and the fact this season they have hired a proper manager and spent some money- why have we chosen to go down such a different route re all the above? Spent heavily, just like we did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did what I think we should probably do. Sell star players for top rates, make a profit and go again. Wonder what meltdown down be like on here if Fessi gets sold like Woods did?

Too late in the window to sell Fessi and re-invest - if we were going down this route we should have done it as soon as the window opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm.asking why/how they've managed to.sell all their tickets and advertising space and shirt sponsorship - and why weve decided to either make our prices so prohibitive or not try (e.g. 'sell'it to Chansiri and his brands) I'm curious as to whether DC has injected the kind of revenues via this route that Leeds are raking in. If he has then fair play- that would explain everything 're D Taxis etc- A lot of people are presuming this is what the brands are all about, and I'm wondering if it's reflected in the accounts. Nothing to do with what they've spent on the pitch. Edited August 5, 2018 by RUMBELOWS91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichSheffWeds Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Leeds sold their star midfielder for £7.7m this summer too. Imagine the uproar on here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Leeds have had their rough times too. They watched us make the play offs twice, signing Forestieri when they wanted him, whilst they missed out on the play offs and haven't reached them in ages. Now they seem to be on the up, whilst we're struggling. Still think Biesla will walk half way through the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were championing what Leeds had done, sold key players in two windows making a profit without reinvesting then go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also playing attacking pressing football, can't understand why we've gone down a different route to this either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
