Leeds United in financial meltdown

With many wages now unpaid, what's going on at Ellan Road

great news..

Absolute carnage. Academy closed, 400 staff sacked, losing over a million a month (similar to you folks).

A view of things to come if you dont fight for your club with a bit more passion than shown so far.

Ill probably get stick for that but its the reality of it.

As annoying as the majority of Leeds fans I've met over the years have been I would never wish financial meltdown on any fellow club. I hope they pull through this. I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but there's six points we'd miss next season!

Such a caring bloke....touching

great news..

not at all.

How would you feel with other clubs fans saying this about us? and lets be honest its a very real possibility.

Its just reality.

I dont give two hoots about leeds and their troubles they would laugh at us bollocks to them and their horrid fans,club,city

Been in this situation before. Think they would have learned their lessons. Hope they get sorted out, but I wouldn't mind seeing them drop a division or two first

No sign of LeedsServiceCrew to date??

Learned lessons? Over the last 5-7 years they have run their club pretty much in the same way as Cardiff have who have also refused to learn.

Both losing over a million a month (id say cardiff are losing more than leeds) - the only difference? One has an owner still semi-happy to cover the shortfall. Id say Leeds are Cardiff 12 months in the future if you dont go straight back up.

Stick to your own clubs finances, the prem league money has saved you, 8 million loss in in the year you were promoted so don't give.me the well run club routine Muppet

This year was not good. Payed to much on signing and wages, agent fees and bonuses. What do you know about next years budget to make a statement of not learning? Reading today's echo, Tuckers still didn't learn anything about football in our year in top flight, but that is a different matter.

It's almost impossible to to understand the vast expenditure of football clubs these days. A mid table Championship club like Leeds are spending £100,000 a day

wez do some research pal.

We would have made a profit that year if we lost the play off final against Reading. We made a loss due to contractual triggers as a result of promotion (promotion bonuses and promotion clauses to chelsea for the likes of Sinclair) etc etc.

This is of course paid from Premier League money which is also guaranteed as a result.

So no, the premier league money didnt save us "muppet"

Im not talking about next year, im talking about every year lessons failed to be learned for the past decade. Or are you telling me it only went wrong this year?

Next year im sure will be equally as horrendous but im certainly not counting that in my point.

It is what would have happened if we had drove VT away in May 2012.

I dont think anyone was suggesting you do that in May.

When the rebrand came about is when you should have driven him away

Hence why i commented on Leeds. Would be silly not to make the comparison however

May 2012 is when the rebrand happened. Keep up at the back!

Which is exactly my point, if we had done so we would have ended like Leeds and probably far worse.

Ah well then yes maybe this would have happened.

A major slashing of expenditure. Just what you needed and still do.

Somebodys been listening to Gwyns red or dead bollocks.

Tan was already into us for the tune of 50m by the time the rebrand come about so stop talking nonsense.

I don't disagree though if VT is prepared to invest and help grow the club then I can accept that. Notice Chelsea didn't fail FFP this year? Proof of what can be done with investment, they are becoming a naturally big club.

Why would chelsea fail FFP? They spent about £30m net in transfers. About 13% of income.

Thats a pittance.

Such a caring bloke....touching

Its just reality.

You are obsessed with us......now that IS reality

Sadly I agree with you, only a few things and even if it Leeds were talking about it's not worth trying to deny we (Cardiff) could ever go down the same route.

Typical of Roathie to turn a thread about Leeds into having a pop at Cardiff City. Why don't you do us all a favour Roathie and f**k off

You think the obvious comparisons is having a pop?
