Qatar have made a bid to buy Leeds. Qatar is aiming for Premier league domination and may shift their attention from PSG to Leeds( Financial times )
What's fud mean?Just when you think football can't get any shitter. The prospect of this horrible fud club and their horrible fud supporters being backed by petrodollars is about as crap as it gets.
Scots slang for a rude word that rhymes with "blunt"What's fud mean?
If anyone is feeling suicidal, please don't read this post.If Qatar buy an English team, it won't be long before the Saudis join the party. Imagine Liverpool with Saudi backing, Leeds with Qatar and Man City backed by Abu Dhabi
A Saudi West Ham conquering all in the PL and reaching a UCL final. That'd be the day.Suppose we could all bet our life savings on Leeds to be promoted next season and make a few quid if this goes through. Still probably better returns than we could get with any bank. A little silver lining in a dark cloud.
Expanding on what I was saying earlier, I'd have thought that United, Chelsea, West Ham, Everton and Newcastle might be clubs they'd have looked at before Leeds if they were to invest heavily in an English one for various reasons. One downside from their point of view is that they'd all cost more initally but there's considerable upside too as they're all more established currently.
United - Huge name/prestige. Reported Saudi interest with Qatar and Saudi not getting on - could be seen as getting one over on them.
Chelsea - very possibly for sale, currently a much bigger name on a global scale than Leeds, London prestige.
West Ham - London Prestige. That they play in the Olympic stadium might be seen as prestigious too from their point of view, cheap rental deal on that stadium.
Everton might be difficult as they've had a recent takeover anyway but they could play on the Liverpool rivalry.
Newcastle - up for grabs, in the PL.
17 goals in 14 goals. But the caf experts have been saying how brilliant Bielsa is and how he would sort out all our attacking vows in no time.Failed to score more than one goal in any championship game since 15th September. Almost like they're trying to copy someone else.
With all their attacking quality they must be one of most wasteful teams around.
Bamford does more for the team apparently.Any reason Nketiah is not playing?
Aye and that’s without the backing of Qatar. Imagine if they do invest, we’ll have another Man City on our hands! While the Glazer leeches continue to suck us dry and leave us languishing in mid table.cnuts playing some nice football.
On the scale of 0-100 how much do you love Bielsa?Our problem is we don’t convert possession into goals.
Nowt to lose tonight ...will be happy to come through it win or lose without any injuries. Don’t want a replay.
Way over 100 mate....I’d keep him for life. Got us working harder than any other side I’ve seen in a long time and playing some good stuff.On the scale of 0-100 how much do you love Bielsa?
I remember what that feeling used to be like. You enjoy it mate. Will (hopefully - speaking purely as a Bielsa fan here) be interesting to see you in the Prem.Way over 100 mate....I’d keep him for life. Got us working harder than any other side I’ve seen in a long time and playing some good stuff.
Hopefully we don’t cock it up again and go up this time.I remember what that feeling used to be like. You enjoy it mate. Will (hopefully - speaking purely as a Bielsa fan here) be interesting to see you in the Prem.
