Doncaster 1-0 Leeds - Doncaster Promoted

[Geraint]

Yes! Another ground for me to go to next season. That's all I care about.

[Sharpsterz]

lol poor leeds

[e5]

lmaooooo gutted for Leeds! hm oh well i lost hope in them now.

[Jamie!]

Yes! Another ground for me to go to next season. That's all I care about.
It's an awful ground... it's in the middle of an industrial estate and it's got no atmosphere at all (bar the away end ;)). Their fans are the typical 'happy clappers' lot.

All together now...

15 points,
Who gives a ****?,
You're Leeds United,
And you're staying put,

:D:D:D

Doesn't bother me. I just want grounds to go to.

[piddle2k6]

Nice one jamie!

Hope we can recreate leeds and get to playoffs next year (and win unlike the scum ;) )
Yerr im glad they lost all their whiners on 606 were peeing me off.

There ground is much like st marys, a concrete bowl with no atmosphere. Then again we have the delight of going to places like exeter next year, id much rather be in your position haha!

I can't really remember Southampton. I just remember that the fans were right next to each other in the corner and it all kicked off. They were chucking ******* bottles at us. I'm sure the Cardiff fans can create an atmosphere. I wouldn't mind going to Exeter, I haven't been there.

[Immenseman]

Exeter is amazing.

[Frewbs]

I'm delighted. The football this week has been perfect. Chelsea losing, City losing, Leeds losing, if Stockport lose tomorrow it would be amazing.


:D

[JackBuddy]

aw, wanted Leeds to go up. If only they didn't get that 15 point defecit...

[Mystifo]

Gahh, Leeds really deserve promotion. If we hadn't have gone bankrupt that many years ago then we'd be the ones kicking Chelsea's a**.

[Redacted]

Congratulations Doncaster!

[F32]

Just got back, friggin London.

Can't speak, can't move and all I have to say is excellent.

Watching a Leeds fan of about 14 years of age cry his heart out on the big screen at Wembley was absolutely priceless.

Keepmoat isn't all that bad... if you're in the South Stand.

[piddle2k6]

The thing that amuses me most, is the 606 boards on the bbc. The leeds fans live in a different planet i swear.. They think they will get 3 million for beckford (which could just about happen i guess) but they think theyre going to sign alan smith, and S - Ebans Blake. DREAM ON

[F32]

They also think they're "Super Leeds" which never fails to amuse me.

[piddle2k6]

Yer ;)

One peter risdale theres only one peter risdale :P
Your not famous your not famous your not famous anymore!
If you hate Leeds United clap yer hands,
(clap, clap),

[Skajo]

Do they only have one song? "Marching on together"

[Geraint]

Yer ;)

Why has everyone failed to realise that he didn't actually ruin Leeds United. Anyway who cares. I agree.

[piddle2k6]

He didnt ruin them, but its funny to pee the leeds fans off with it ;)

[Simmzay]

I feel for Leeds, I think they'll go up next season.

[leah]

Leeds at their worst is league one.
Its pathetic that you attack leeds because at the moment they're in misfortune, Leeds will come back to who they once were..
and Elland road is an amazing stadium tbh.. you cant critisize it until you've been there.
and are Exeter in league one? EXCELLENT I can see leeds play woop woop. Obviously going up next year..
and im sure none of your teams could survive with -15 points let alone get to the play off final. [:

Shows how much you know about football. I've been to Elland Road and the stadium is crap. The atmosphere was absolutely dreadful. Leeds are over-rated. They deserve to be where they are like any other club. They spent money and it didn't work. They didn't get 15 points for nothing, did they? That cheating **** Ken Bates did it to them. If they didn't have them 15 points they wouldn't have even made the play-offs. The 15 points give them an incentive to go out and attack. Teams can live with 15 point deductions. Look at Bournemouth they were down and out until they started getting them wins. If they had played any other team, they would have stayed up. Bournemouth had no money, no anything. Leeds have.

[Jamie!]

What the ****, Leah? Then you wonder why people don't assocciate lasses with football...

Exeter in L1? :D:D:D

Elland Road is over-rated. It's big and it's got character, but it's cramped and in need of some major TLC. Add to the fact that it is usually occupied by the knuckle-dragging neanderthals known as Leeds United fans and you can see why it's a ****hole.

3 million for Beckford? You're having a laugh. He's a good League One striker but he'd be way out of his depth in the Championship. He was dire in the Play off final.

Exeter have just been promoted to League Two, bad luck.

[F32]

Brandon, Beckford has got a high price tag due to scoring 20 goals in a season - he bottled it in the final absolutely but someone who can score 20 goals in a season is someone worth $$$. He's going somewhere because he's quoted saying "if we don't go up, I'll move to a bigger club".

Keepmoat is a great stadium but may need expanding in the near future. It's in a great location, yes in the suburbs and yes, partly in an industrial estate but so is the biggest stadium in the UK. It's next to a shopping centre and a great man-made lake which is picturesque so yeah - how you can say it's terrible is beyond me. What makes it better is that we might be buying it off the council for £25m even though it only cost £23m to build...

I agree about Beckford. But so many players can do the business in League One and then struggle completely in the Championship. Billy Sharp, Luke Varney. I guess they're OK Championship players but not worth a few million.

And I didn't say it was terrible. I'm sure it is a good stadium. :)
Good luck Doncaster next season, I hope you stay up.
3 promotions in 5 seasons, is that true?

5 years ago, Rovers finished 9th in the conference, Leeds were in quarter-finals of Champions League.

3 promotions in 5 years, let's make it 4 in 6 :D

You pay for what you get, with Beckford comes goals, with goals comes points, with points comes promotion. Yes, they may struggle to make it but 2nd top scorer in league one - I can see Cardiff / Forest / Us buying him although I wouldn't like him here unless he got a stern whipping.

Cardiff was it, or someone said it was terrible and started ranting.

It's funny that Karl nor Soka have been seen around here :P

[Jamie!]

Beckford has been useless since the day Wise left. He suited that style of play, and he shown it by scoring nearly every other game. With Macca, they've got the ball down on the deck as much as possible and Beckford is struggling big time. Leeds have been carrying him as a passenger whenever I've seen him play, and he's an extremely lazy player.

As nasri says though, he's got a reputation as a goalscorer now and will almost certainly be sold for 1million at the very minimum in the summer. He'll have to go to a club who play direct football though, or it will be money down the drain.

[F32]

Jamie, that's where you're wrong. Everyone says Wise was the mastermind behind the start to the season Leeds had, 8 straight wins was it? It wasn't though, it was Poyet. As soon as Poyet went to Spurs Leeds' form dropped and before Wise could be blamed, he left as well.

I don't want Rovers to sign Beckford but it wouldn't surprise me, nothing would.

[leah]

tbh many football experts compliment Elland road saying its a great stadium, Ill take their words for it than yours seeing as their opinions earn them money and yours don't.
and yeh Leeds were better with wise and poyet, miles better.
also, you said bournemouth have nothing.. Leeds had everything that the big clubs such as arsenal, manchester united and chelsea have and have had so much negativity over the last 5 years with finance and greedy chairmen ect. Its extremely hard to go from having that to having what we have atm. Many other clubs couldn't have gone through that ordeal and not gone bankrupt.
I don't see why you critisize leeds fans either, Leeds fans are extremely dedicated and have gone to hell and back, such dedication should be rewarded not mocked.
why spend your energy hating leeds when Man U are so much easier to detest ;D

Because Man.U don't get involved with crappy people like Ken Bates firstly. I love it how Leeds have gone down the leagues, when like 5 years ago or w.e, they were in the semi-finals of the champo league. I also like it when the team with the "most" $$$$$ in the leagues dont win anything. Leeds had alot of money, despite going into admin, and losing alot due to debt. Leeds fans expect other teams to feel sorry for them, well, not one bit.

[F32]

Leah - you obviously know nothing about football at all. Leeds are the most hated club in, probably the world because they cheated through everything over the past few years and the used to 'steal' players from local rivals back in the 60's/70's. Leeds have NEVER had money problems - KB said they did to avoid paying fines and in doing so went into administration when they knew they were down last year and because of him lying they deducted 15 points this season.

Ken Bates is the reason why you are where you are. He cheated the FA, he cheated the Football League so how you can say they deserved to go up is stupid. Whoever says that is stupid. Elland Road is a dump, an absolutely dump of a ground. It's made of useless corrugated steel and cardboard. It's not a ground, it's 4 stands around a pitch - that's not a ground. If you go to Elland Road, odds are you'll come out covered in blood.

The media love Leeds, however. This is why Elland Road is complimented. Look North, a local news programme in Yorkshire, did a piece on Rovers winning promotion although it had no interviews, no reaction, no crowd etc it only showed the goal. However, if Leeds won it then they probably would've filled the programme with it because no matter what happens, Leeds will be the biggest club in Yorkshire. Yes, it's part jealously but the fact is it shouldn't be like that. Everyone in the media is biased towards Leeds.

So, Leah - please learn about football and your 'supported' club before you go posting things like that. Please, I hate Leeds and I know more about them than you.

Yeah, I watched the highlights on Sky Sports News. And they spent more time mulling over next season for Leeds then Doncaster's celebration.

And...
Norwich are leading the race to sign Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford but Ipswich, QPR and Reading are also interested. (Daily Star)

Not sure how I feel about that really. Depends how much, I thought we were broke anyway.

[F32]

I can see a Huckerby swap myself. I'm surprised at QPR because they can attract much more skilled players than Beckford - I mean, they're promotion material next season so it'd be a bad move for them.

Don't trust the Star anyway :P

[Browney]

I think Leeds get alot of attention because they make the better story. Only a matter of years ago they were in the Champions League now they're down to League 1 and are staying put. I suppose them being so succesful made them the biggest and most popular club in yorkshire. But being popular and being succesful are completely different. Just ask Doncaster Rovers.

Well to be fair Rovers make a good story too with all the promotions but the news agencies will want to appeal to the masses and unfotunately the masses like Leeds.

[Gemmz?]

leeds should of got them points back it was well unfair
going up next season :)

So you're saying that a downslide is better than an uphilll triumph?

3 promotions in 5 seasons is better than 2 relegations in 5 season but Leeds still get media attention.

EDIT: Gemz, shut up. They shouldn't of got them back - you know nothing about football.

Not it's better but it makes the better story. Notice you never hear about good stuff on the news, it's always that someone gets knifed. And like I said, more people care about Leeds than Rovers.

[piddle2k6]

The reason everyone hates leeds scum is because:

A) Their fans think they can piss on the FA
B) Their fans are ******s: See this wikipedia extract from afc bournemouth:

[edit] Crowd Trouble
Whilst the fans are usually good mannered and crowd trouble is extremely rare nowadays, Monday 5 May 1990 has gone down in the history of both club and town as a black day. It was the May Day public holiday and the final day of the season. AFC Bournemouth were in the old Second Division and Leeds United had the chance to win the league on goal difference and gain promotion into the First Division (now the Premiership). Many followers of Leeds had already caused trouble in the town during the morning and the atmosphere was tense as Leeds won the match by a single goal. That, combined with the results of other matches, meant that Leeds were promoted while Bournemouth were relegated. The violence and destruction by visitors to Bournemouth continued over the holiday weekend 'causing more than £1million worth of damage and injury to opposing fans and police officers'.[1] The town's Daily Echo newspaper reported that 'spectators, including many young children, had to run to safety as missiles were hurled and riot police waded in to control the crowds'.[2]The matter was raised in Parliament by one of the town's MPs. Many Bournemouth supporters attribute the beginning of the subsequent decline of the club on that fateful day. The club have been on the brink of bankruptcy several times since 1990.

Financially, the Leeds trouble affected the club for more than a decade, as Bournemouth were prevented by local police from staging home games on Bank Holidays (traditionally a popular day for football) until a game against Shrewsbury Town on 21 April 2003. The club often had to move games from Easter Monday, for instance, to the following Tuesday evening, with lower crowds a consequence.[3]

C) Their fans whine and moan when the rest of the country just gets on with it.
D) Leah or whatever your name is, please inform me on how many matches u have attended ever, and if u know what the offside rule is.. Do that and u may even be able to post in the football posts on this forum

To be fair they would get 40k+

Leeds United 2001/2002 MIN:- 38,337 MAX:- 40,287 AVERAGE:- 39,788 TOTAL:- 755,987

Leeds don't get many decisions that go their way like a few other teams do, and we're extreamly unlucky.. so how we can cheat with being unlucky and getting hardly any good decisions from the referee I don't
see. Leeds are the biggest club in yorkshire because we have the best stadium, the most dedicated amount of fans and we earned it, don't try and discredit leeds's achievements because of your pathetic jealousy.


sheffield united are better than Doncaster, and if leeds fans havent changed to teams in the premiership I highly doubt they'd be tempted by Doncaster.

Leave leah alone yeah. i havent read all of it beacuse i cba and leeds arent the most hated club ever i think that goes to chelase. anyway leeds have done the unthinkable this year! remeber that 15 point loss they had? Man utd couldnt have won with -15 but leeds sure did and next season they will win and then they will be back on the road to the premiership :) that is all for now. :)

[Soka]

from reading this thread half the people know **** all behind leeds story so don't even bother posting **** on financial situation and the gate numbers.

RIGHT, leeds are fine financially now so have to work hard to get up

i'm going to be a big man and say doncaster (YES A YORKSHIRE RIVAL) deserved to win - they played better - LEEDS played awful i think my two grandmas would have made better full backs then richardson and johnson, is it me or could beckford not strike a ball? i think most we'll get is 2 million for him, david healy was alot better quality, and look what hes doing now.

the best of luck to them in championship, its good for the chairman especially.

nasri, look north i get that? don't know if its different version or not mines one with peter levey, but none of its about leeds NOR doncaster, its about hull most of the time - agreedably.

we'll see if bournmouth/luton have great start due to alot of people suggesting leeds wouldn't have done as well without reduction, thus those two teams should do brilliant.

poyet imo was the person behind it, and whoever in this threadsaid they haven't played well since wise left is an utter moron

end of day doncaster deserved it, FINITO, we got next season - nobody would have even thought leeds would have got to play offs anyway.

My opinion does matter you petulant arrogant fool. Leeds are the most hated football club in football. Manchester United are not because they are successful, they've never cheated the FA or Football League and they don't do 'dirties' such as... Leeds.

Leeds do cheat when it comes to football. Business is part of football and this is where you cheated. If you still don't think that you cheated then please, do your gosh darn research. I hate Leeds because of the reasons why everyone else hates Leeds. No, I'm not a sheep - they cheated football, their fans are disgraceful and 'they're not famous anymore'.

Please elaborate on your claim that "Leeds are unlucky" because as I can see it, they are lucky to even be in League 1. If the FA and Football League actually followed rules that were followed when Scarbrough had their difficulties - Leeds would be in League 2 with a 10 point deduction so please elaborate.

You can't say "we don't get decisions from the referee". That's a ludicrous claim to make considering both teams have the same referee that makes the same decisions on the day. Not every referee can get every decision correct so you cannot say that.

Hull are the biggest team in Yorkshire, actually, followed by Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Doncaster and then Leeds - in accordance to the English football ladder. You can't say "because we were in Premiership" because you're not anymore - you're in League 1 so face it, you're pretty much the smallest team in Yorkshire.

I'm not "discrediting" Leeds' achievements. What they've done as a club are fantastic and what they've done as a team this season are fantastic - accumulating 91 points across the season is great but I'm saying the club shouldn't be where it is now and they know it and you know it.

Haha, again where you're wrong. The majority of football followers in Doncaster, about 4 years ago, were supporters of Leeds due to them being the dominant club in Yorkshire. Now the tides are turning, however, and we will receive gates of over 12k per match next season and that's a fabulous feat for any club in our position. So, Leeds fans based in Doncaster are going to be tempted by Doncaster due to the likes of Birmingham, Reading, Norwich, Wolves, Cardiff coming to the Keepmoat as opposed to Hereford, Stockport, Yeovil, Crewe coming to Elland Road.

The only thing I'm jealous of is the media coverage - I'm shouldn't be jealous but I am because it's biased media coverage and you cannot deny that.

It also strikes me as interesting how every Leeds fan who comes up against these sorts of claims always put down the argumentee and comes up with an excuse is. The fact is, I'm guessing Cardiff.City, Jamie, Matty, piddle, Jack, Grays and others will agree with me and none of them support the same sides. There's only one set of supporters who don't hate Leeds, and that's Leeds - and at times you think they hate themselves.

Oh and only about 5% of this post is my opinion.


from reading this thread half the people know **** all behind leeds story so don't even bother posting **** on financial situation and the gate numbers.

RIGHT, leeds are fine financially now so have to work hard to get up

i'm going to be a big man and say doncaster (YES A YORKSHIRE RIVAL) deserved to win - they played better - LEEDS played awful i think my two grandmas would have made better full backs then richardson and johnson, is it me or could beckford not strike a ball? i think most we'll get is 2 million for him, david healy was alot better quality, and look what hes doing now.

the best of luck to them in championship, its good for the chairman especially.

nasri, look north i get that? don't know if its different version or not mines one with peter levey, but none of its about leeds NOR doncaster, its about hull most of the time - agreedably.

we'll see if bournmouth/luton have great start due to alot of people suggesting leeds wouldn't have done as well without reduction, thus those two teams should do brilliant.

poyet imo was the person behind it, and whoever in this threadsaid they haven't played well since wise left is an utter moron

end of day doncaster deserved it, FINITO, we got next season - nobody would have even thought leeds would have got to play offs anyway.

I know enough behind the Leeds story to state where they should be and why they shouldn't of got the points back. It's probably you who knows less about it than anyone else but I'm not going to say that. Leeds were always fine financially and they never had a crisis - it was all a cover but if you knew that then I guess you need to research on the Leeds story.

Onto the game - Beckford was awful. The pressure got to him in the big games and if you can't score in big games then you shouldn't be playing football. 20 goals a season in League 1 isn't hard to be fair and although he's definately going in the summer I doubt you'll get 2m. Howson went incredibly close and when your defender [can't remember who] blasted just wide near the end I filled my pants with cake because I thought that broke the net.

Our chairman is amazing - he's a down to earth guy who's not in it for the money. How many of them do you get? I'm not sure on our Championship hopes but we can see out the first season I'm sure. Look North was dominated by Hull yes but on the League 1 play off bit it only showed the goal as I said.

Luton were terrible when they were at the Keepmoat [sorry Jordie] and the only reason it wasn't a beating was because of Dean Brill. Bournemouth had a quality end to the season but they're going to loose key players [Vokes] I think, piddle can clear that one up though.

I said Poyet was the minds behind Wise and when Poyet left, Wise left before he could be blamed for the lack of form. On the day, we deserved it but over the season you deserved it.


Leave leah alone yeah. i havent read all of it beacuse i cba and leeds arent the most hated club ever i think that goes to chelase. anyway leeds have done the unthinkable this year! remeber that 15 point loss they had? Man utd couldnt have won with -15 but leeds sure did and next season they will win and then they will be back on the road to the premiership :) that is all for now. :)

If you haven't read all of it then please don't post - you're another one who posts here once in a bluemoon [see what I did there?] and knows only the outer stuff of the football world. It wasn't unthinkable, it was straight forward - we all knew they'd walk it and they did - they were the best team over 46 games in League 1.

My hands need a rest now :P

[leah]

Leeds were outplayed, I can admit that.
and Doncaster did desearve to win.
Leeds's stadium is premiership standard so how you can sit there and say its rubbish is beyond me.
Leeds did have financial probelms, but not anymore so how you can say we never had financial problems, again is beyond me.
you can't blame ken bates because he wasn't here when the whole thing started that is the fault of david O'leary and peter ridsdale.
So welldone to Doncaster, Leeds always have next season..
but we really aren't the most hated club, Maybe you hate us the most and a few others.. but Leeds United is deffinately not the most hated footbal team in britain.
what are you on about we didn't cheat business.. we ran out of money theres a difference.
and Leeds aren't the smallest team in yorkshire, we have the largest fan base and the best stadium.

Leeds are by no means the smallest team in yourkshiere they were chalenging for the prem a few years ago and that you cant say about any other yorkshiere team. i would bet any money that doncaster come stright back down becuase leeds have the history and the fan base to make it to the prem again :)

On the day Leeds were outplayed, yes. Have you ever been to Elland Road? It's an absolutely dive. Whoever says the Keepmoat is a dive has never been to Elland Road. The last time I went to Elland Road:

I was spat on by Leeds fans before the game
Got cheated out of cash by the guys selling programmes and then abused by him and he was only about 12
Got cheated out of cash by the guys selling food and then abused again
Got absolutely verbal and physical abuse by the stewards because I was "singing too loud" and "standing up too often" and they're direct quotes.
Spat at and shoved on the way out.
Verbally abused on the way out because we won
Threatened on the way out because we won
Threatened at the train station because we wonNeedless to say I'll never be going there again.

I said Leeds are one of the smallest teams in Yorkshire, not clubs, teams.

[leah]

Lol im a leeds fan and i'd never dream of doing that, all teams have fans that they aren't proud of.
Yes ive been to Elland road before and nothing like that happened to me.
I once went to Plymouth argyle V leeds at home park and we got started on for being leeds fans o.O
It can be a scary expierience I know, but all clubs have mean fans like I said, you can't judge all the fans on the ones you saw.

[F32]

I know the majority are fine it's just a lot of them aren't. I know loads of Leeds fans who are sound as but get them at a football match and they changed for some reason.

A scary experience? Traumatic is a better word. I'm never going back there unless I have counselling.

[Jamie!]

Jamie, that's where you're wrong. Everyone says Wise was the mastermind behind the start to the season Leeds had, 8 straight wins was it? It wasn't though, it was Poyet. As soon as Poyet went to Spurs Leeds' form dropped and before Wise could be blamed, he left as well.

I don't want Rovers to sign Beckford but it wouldn't surprise me, nothing would.


poyet imo was the person behind it, and whoever in this threadsaid they haven't played well since wise left is an utter moron

Hmm... I see those from Yorkshire struggle to read.

Post 36 if you need to read it again.

[leah]

I know what you mean though,
Leeds scored and we cheered
I know it was stupid but spur of the moment yanoo..
so these men started like attacking my dad and my little brother whos ten..
I actually hit this man and told him he should be ashamed of himself aha
He stopped after that :D

[AgnesIO]

mwuahaha,
yes its true,
Leeds united arrre poo!
MWUAHAHA
YES ITS TRUEEEEE
LEEEEDSS UNNNNITEDDDDDDD,
AAAAAARRRRRRREEEEEE POOOOOOOOO!

Do u live in Leeds? no u live in doncaster obv ur gonna chat against Leeds but i kno Leeds more than u seen as tho i live there and im sorry but the Leeds ground is alrite and they were dropped few years ago by there bankrupcy not for there talent with the ball, if O,leary didnt get bankrupt they would still have people like, Alan Smith and Rio Feardanand so dont chat. And get it into yr head that its a football team obv they gonna be against the over team, say that you wouldnt be mad if u lost.. cause you would so. And all the abuse happens at any club, but Leeds arnt smallest team in yorkshire infact they one of the biggest cause people still support them from when the was in the premiership.

...

The reason they went bankrupt was coz of Ken Bates. He led Chelsea into administration, wigan and many other cluibs also feel because of him.

[leah]

LOL err No, Kenbates didn't.. he wasn't at Leeds at that time..
this was when we were in the premiership,
and Oleary and ridsdale were in charge at that point.
Bates might have done it once, but the reason leeds went from good to bad was because we had financial problems under Oleary, and we had to sell all of our decent players.

[F32]

Leeds never had financial problems for Gods sake...

Can i ask who was chairman last season?

Wait it was Ken Bates!!!!! You know what that means? He ran them into admin!


Leeds never had financial problems for Gods sake...

They did ;)

[F32]

No they didn't

[AgnesIO]

No they didn't


No they just went into administration for the sake of it...

[F32]

Yes, as it happens.

[leah]

when Ken Bates came we were in financial trouble,
but the first time we ever had fincancial difficulty was when david o'leary was manager and peter ridsdale was chairman.
We then got into administration with Ken bates.
Im not even talking about last season, Im talking about the season and the season before we were relegated from the premiership, bates was nothing to do with leeds then..
That was ridsdale and O'leary.

[AgnesIO]

Oh just face it Ken Bates is a crook.

You are the first leed's fan i have seen that doesn't admit Ken Bates is the idiot.

[luce]

They did ;)


NO IT WAS O'LEARY IT IS WHAT THEY CALL A KNOCK ON EFFECT!
And yes they obviously did have issues! they went into admin Duh!

[Gemmz?]

Leeds never had financial problems for Gods sake...

well ur wrong very wrong cause thts the whole reason why he had to sell players off and they dropped a division duh.. i should kno seen as though ma dad goes to every game and i just wanna say every club as violent people so dont just pin point leeds.
LOL at me an Leah woooo go us pmsl :P x

[leah]

I'm not saying anything about Ken bates if you actually read what I wrote,
Ken bates wasn't the origional reason we first had trouble
that was O'Leary and ridsdale.
and Bates saved us from administration, he came in when leeds had problems.. He didn't create them, Infact he got us out of admin.

Thats exacally what happened and it seems Leah has got more knowladge on this situation than most people and i ave learnt loads from what she said on the phone. thats basically the story right up there ;)

[F32]

I like how you got your little posse to post here and defend you, Leah.

I suggest before any of you post you actually research into this.

[leah]

I have researched and its proved my point further,
they aren't my posse,
They're both into football and agree with me.
Deal with it.

[Soka]

this threads as lame as peter risdale, close it :rolleyes:

[KnuxIBF]

Leeds were in administration in 2006.


Leeds entered a Company Voluntary Arrangement (administration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_%28insolvency%29)) on 4 May (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_4) 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007), thus incurring a league imposed 10 point deduction which officially relegated the club to the third tier of English football.

If they didn't go bankrupt, what's that then?

[leah]

I agree with Soka tbh. [:

[F32]

Leeds were in administration in 2006.



If they didn't go bankrupt, what's that then?

Another one of Leah's posse.

YES, they went into adminstration, I never said they didn't. It's complicated to explain but basically;

KB owns 2 companies. 1 company owned Leeds and that company went bust so KB sold Leeds to his other company for 1p and that company has money.

That's the basic, basic, basic, basic, basic outline of it.

No..

He never got you out opf admin, you were punished with the deductiong which meant that took you out of admin..

[piddle2k6]

Nasri u clearly know your stuff and leah u obviously dont :)

[leah]

Yeh whatever, he's obv one of your posse.
and I do know what I'm talking about because nasri said leeds never had fincancial deifficulty when they clearly did.

[F32]

DO YOU NOT READ?

HAVE YOU TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING?

Gosh, research into it before you make these claims.

LEEDS UNITED HAVE NEVER BEEN IN FINANCIAL CRISIS/DIFFICULTY

Edited by Hayd93 (Forum Moderator): Please don't be rude.

[leah]

YES THEY HAVE
ITS OBVIOUS EVERYONE KNOWS IT
HOW ELSE DID THEY GO FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST FOUR TEAMS IN ENGLAND TO LEAGUE 1?
SELL THEIR PLAYERS FOR THE SAKE OF IT DID THEY?
ERR NO.

[Jamie!]

i should kno seen as though ma dad goes to every game
Yeah, you're right... you should know, but just a shame you don't!

[F32]

YES THEY HAVE
ITS OBVIOUS EVERYONE KNOWS IT
HOW ELSE DID THEY GO FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST FOUR TEAMS IN ENGLAND TO LEAGUE 1?

ERR NO.
No, it was a corrupt boss that took over and stole the money, basically. Which led to their downfall but they've never, ever, ever been in any financial difficulty.

Now read this:

RESEARCH INTO THIS BEFORE POSTING AGAIN!

[leah]

I HAVE RESEARCHED CAN YOU NOT READ, I SAID I HAD BEFORE ALSO,
IF THE MONEY WAS STOLEN.. THEY WOULD HAVE NONE
WHICH IS FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY.
OH YEH SORRY YOU ARE RIGHT,
JUST SOLD THE PLAYERS FOR THE SKAE OF IT,
NO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY THERE..
ALSO YOU SAID THE COMPANY THAT OWNED LEEDS WENT BANKRUPT..
SO IF THEY OWN THEM SURELY LEEDS WERE IN THE DIFFICULTY TOO ;l

[luce]

I can't belive you are saying that is what happened to leeds!
how about you reserch into it before posting again!
I think you will find leah knows what shes on about becuase she did look into it!
inlike you who are making stuf up!

Okay, source you research, source it.

If you can't, well, that speaks for itself.
