If you are going to laugh make sure you got the quote right...TiT.
Do you reckon El Tel will resign if Woodgate goes marchin'?
If this ever happened at Manchester United, I would be heart broken.
Its sad for Leeds as they were not far away from being real contenders for several seasons. Now though it may be several seasons to turn it round.
I hope that failure to get CL revenue has this effect on Liverpool though because that would be funny. Though they're unlikely to lose anyone other than Owen. Gerrard is a dipper through and through.

I sense bitterness. Not surprising really.
It's sad.
Then again, it's Leeds
Can't blame marchin' for being angry about it. Leeds have been putting it about that if Fowler went, Woodgate would stay but now it looks like both are going. Balancing the books is one thing but if this is true then Leeds have no serious ambition left.
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> @ Leeds, Marching and all the other sheepshagging losers!
Football goes in cycles....I wouldn't be laughing too hard because one day it could be your team.
I just can't accept PR now selling off the prized youth team players that the club needs to rebuild upon. Fine, sell Rio who was a show pony for the supposed ambition for the club...we could afford that. But Woodgate going leave s a hole that cannot be filled.
Duberry? Not good enough and also frequently injured.
Radebe? Great but getting too slow and also injured.
Matteo? Tries hard but can't do it on his own.
Mills? A RB playing as a CB. Not good.
Lukic? Ha Ha.
Where is the defence PR?
I won't support Leeds anymore if Woodgate is sold. It's stupidity of the highest order.

A prime example of the unwavering support from the Leeds faithful. With fans like this, there's only one way for Leeds to go and that's down. Oh what a joy.
it'll NEVER happen to us...well not our lifetime.
not really....i don't think their is a combination of fans/chairman/manager as daft as leeds anywhere in the country.
didn't softy didn't predict this whole mess more than a year ago???

You'd have to go along way to find a comedy duo as good as O'Leary and Ridsdale all right.
Still Softy predicted lots of shit. and u didn't have to be Mystic Meg to see Leeds were messing up.

According to Sky Sports its only for £9m, and not all of that up front. I trust Marching that your support for Ridsdale has ended as he's betrayed you yet again, saying one thing but quite transparently to everyone else meaning another. Its unarguable now that Leeds' financial situation was a lot lot worse than you tried to make out, hence the sale of so many crown jewels. Understandable that the loss of two years of CL football will be a heavy financial blow, but it shouldn't lead to this situation, I can really see Leeds going down next season or the one after. It reminds me of the last time they came up, but at least they won the title first before disappearing back into obscurity.
Not that any of this will concern the Newcastle United supporter that you are.

El Tel quits after Marching & Woody double transfer shock
Alex - good points but it is worth noting that Leeds do won their ground.
Usual suspect - usual crap......the debt Leeds have was known long ago what wasn't known was how the board (note NOT just PR) would handle it. Arsenal currently fill Highbury (unlike LFC and Anfield) so they will soon be reaping the benefits of more bums on seats and CL football.
Neil - You keep mentioning PR as though it is only him that makes decisions at ER...there were 3 other board members at the meeting yesterday that decided Woody would go...yes, PR is Chairman but it is far from a one man show.
Can you find out how I can change my name name on here...Marchingontogether does not quite sound right anymore

Marching, you're right, the whole Board should go. Also Terry really has no option but to quit.

From the beeb site:
"Earlier, angry fans placed a 'For Sale' sign round the Billy Bremner statue at Elland Road before it was hastily removed."
Dear oh dear.

Liverpool have bought it. Houllier's gonna play it up front instead of Owen
Have you spoken to Ridsdale yet Marching? have you asked him why he continues to lie to us.
Rio was cover for Woody my arse, next he'll be saying Woody was cover for Dubbery.
By selling Woody its obvious Ridsdale wants a war and an empty stadium next season.

I have emailed PR with my thoughts and suggest you do too.
I am surprised we sold him - I am at a loss now to think who we will play there...unless this is not the final earth shattering news to come out of ER.
Didn't Terry Venables say he would possibly leave if Woodgate was sold? I thought that was why they sold Fowler, so that they would keep Woodgate, thus keeping Venables reasonably happy. Really too bad that this is what they had to resort to, in order to make any money.
