Lmao. Leeds....most repsected. They're known as 'Dirty Leeds'......
they're a quality team and I'm not quite sure what's going wrong.....I mean how can a team with Viduka and Alan Smith up front go down....

Leeds are a respected club who have a large history of success.
Trevor Birch has announced that Leeds going down could lead into administration... it is vital that Leeds United stay up this season, if Leeds can manage this deals will be struck and Leeds could be saved.
Also as a leeds fan I feel I should make a statement about Viduka, despite constant claims of him not getting on with Reid etc... I must admire the striker... he has... unlike near enough everyone else... stayed a damn long time.

Alan Smith is incredibly rude, well i guess they all are but he threw a bottle to someone in the Liverpool crowd and it hit the fan in the face inguring he/she slightly.
He actually hit a leeds fan.

I hate to admit it, but I think Leeds have had it.
They only need £5m to survive until the end of the season, but, no matter how-small a fee it may be to some, it isn't as easy for a club like Leeds to find, when they really need to hang-on to ALL of their money-making assets.
Alan Smith, Mark Viduka, Paul Robinson and even Elland Road...
If they were to lose any-one of those, things would become a lot worse, so-quickly! So-bad, perhaps, the £5m they need would still not be `enough´ at a later-date in the season...
Giving-away is not the answer when you need all you can get. However, the idea of decreasing players' wages and cancelling "excess" loan-deals is a very good one. It's a shame, though, that even players from die-hard Leeds United are getting all hot-tempered over "a couple of grand" lost when they'd still earn about 3-times-as-much!
Good to see Dominic Matteo speak-up, as Captain; but I can't believe players like David Batty are so against this idea...
I mean, if they can get this to work, and it does save the club (like with Leicester), just think of what kind of message it could send to everyone else....
Spurs have some cheek, though. Trying to nab Paul Robinson AND James Milner for only £5m... Yeah, right!! It's not like it'd be much of a "step-up" for any Leeds player, going to White Hart Lane, anyway!
If they really need another 'keeper so-badly, I'm sure Chelski would be able to spare at least ONE of the 20-odd "squad-number-fillers" Ranieri has signed since Abramovich arrived!
I just cannot see them avoiding the drop, though. I mean, they've let WOLVES move above them within the last fortnight - that can't be good for team morale! :(

Err... West Ham were never a "good team", Leeds only became good after spending huge amounts of money on players, which they then had to sell off when they realised that £100 million loans have to be paid off, dropping them back into the mire of mediocrity. Oh they were ok before - they won the last season of the old first division - but they've always lacked a sense of business acumen (I mean come on, Cantona helps you win the title, so who do you sell him to? Your biggest rivals? CLEVER!)
As for sunderland? They've never been good. They had one good player 3-4 years ago in Kevin Phillips, but one man a team does not make.

ok maybe their not GOOD but they're the Premiership regulars.Well maybe not Sunderland but West Ham, Tottenham and Leeds.
Another Monday, another chance for Leeds to fall into administration...
However, while Trevor Birch has said Leeds WON'T be selling anyone before the transfer windo deadline this weekend, he is thought to be considering a £20m takeover bid from some "Yorkshire Businessmen".
It ain't the Sheikh, but are they Allan Leighton and co.? We just don't know yet... However, £20m would certainly be enough to keep the club going until the summer, at least.
So (providing all goes-well), maybe it isn't quite time to be saying "Goodbye" to Leeds United, yet, after all, then...?
If anyone else really wants the club that-badly, it seems they'll just have to act fast, NOW, or else, risk missing-out altogether.
