What does everyone feel about Leeds?
I've got a real soft spot for Leeds - probably because they have always been a dirty bunch of bastards - I like the ground, the kit, most of the players and they way they've rose and fallen so spectacularly.
I'm very interested to see how their next game goes, because apparantly all the fans are going to turn on the players for refusing to take a pay cut or defer payments (they said no and said "you'll have to sell one of us"!! ) - fans that by and large have given the players great support this season, considering the sh*t they have been in.
Whilst the players cannot help the crazy contracts they have been given, I guess I'd be ****ed too if our players refused to help the club. From a personal view - if it was the company I worked for and I was asked to do the same thing, I'd say no. But earning £14k a year, or £60k a WEEK are two seperate things.
Now looks like players are going to be sold...
Smith -> Newcastle £3m
Robinson & Bakke -> Tottenham £5m
Viduka -> Anyone that will have him
Milner -> Man Yoo? £5m?
Apparantly Batty is being named as the ring-leader, but I find that very hard to believe and I'm sure he is just acting as the clubs PFA advisor.
I know its hard to feel to much sympathy I guess, but I'd hate to see Leeds disappear from the league and end up as an AFC Leeds type club...
