Sounds creepy....That presenters voice...
Was just about to say it ! It feckin is !Is that.... Russell Crowe!?
The man is a cretin - he cried at Griffin Park when Brentford effectively ended their automatic promotion hopes, this was sweet kharma after he tried to get into the Away dressing room and drug testing area to confront Ollie Watkins cos he reckoned he dived for a pen when Brentford played at Elland Road.the Leeds guy was basically in tears because it didn't happen, the soft cnut
The chief executive and the owners disagreed on the terms of the transfer (as you probably got from the clip). It could have been the valuation of the player (the owners wanted more money), the structure of the deal (cash up front, installments), the might have wanted a sell-on clause (or if there was one, a bigger one), a buyback clause. Basically, the owners didn't like whatever terms the chief executive had discussed with Leeds. Seems weird that the executive didn't communicate this hiccup to Leeds, but he might have been busy trying to convince the owners to take the offer that was on the table, or trying to extract from them what terms they might have considered acceptable.Very interesting video.
not really clear about why it fell through though. Was it really just Swansea pulling their leg?
I reckon he must be a fan, loads of Aussies support them after the Viduka and Kewell daysIs that.... Russell Crowe!?
The bearded guy needs to take a course in How signing players is easy; getting rid, not so -- Edward Woodward.
Wasn't there even rumors of him overtaking the the club a couple of years ago?I reckon he must be a fan, loads of Aussies support them after the Viduka and Kewell days
Are we sure Crowe isnt referring to Leeds Rhino? I thought he was a Rugby League fan even though he came from New Zealand.
SwanseaI didn't know it was that close to happening, not sure from the vid was it Leeds or Cardiff's fault?
Great insight into how these things are done and can see why things get leaked with all that staff walking around listening to conversations.
Worked out very well for everyone... except LeedsWow- didn’t realise it was that close! Makes Swansea look like a shower of C**ts.
In reality transfers are extremely complicated with so many people involved, so many things that can change and so many things that can go wrong. It’s not as simple as fans seem to think.Also gives some minute insight into the intricacies of the real thing. Fans were probably hurling abuse online and criticising their club, but so many moving parts in reality.
