Wolverhampton Wanderers - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[WTF11]

I don't have a problem with him, he's worked miracles in the few months he's been here, just don't know where the 100 million has come from which has been mentioned....20 for ER....was it 32 or 35 for whatever Cellino wanted.....not sure!

Miracles, really? Buying back ER was just good business sense, as for the rest (Orta, Christiansen, all the great new players we have, Miracles???). Cellino did more to call miraculous!

WTF11. ....... 'Wouldn't you like to know' .........

Husband just phoned saying we nearly had 'em until that red card........... after his 3 hours whiz on the choo choo from Tours to London before boarding the 'we regret to inform you the train is running late' to Wolverhampton with a seat greeting him scattered by a crushed kebab his hopes were still high until the sending off - so he was pleased to view this apology (below) and hopes a long awaited win at the weekend will soothe his British rail experience of ****e seats,luke warm tea and a croissant designed to break jaws .........

That's what we really need now - croissant snobbery. Just because you have defected to the land inhabited by those Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys don't be bringing your food foibles onto this board Mrs O.

Only you would find a way to make buying back ER seem negative and like it is nothing. If it was such good business sense and so easy then Bates, Cellino, GFH would have bought it back.

Fact is, the management are doing a good job and making positive strides, people need to stop thinking magic happens in such a short space of time. We are a club going forwards at the moment both on and off the pitch, finally we have owners who don't hit the panic button and sack a manager and we have owners who are investing in the club.

Wolves are a spectacular situation to have the players they have is amazing and didn't happen in one season, they built this last year and this year added + now it is paying dividends. Be very interested to know how they've acquired such talent + how they've done it within FFP also.

Said when Bates was owner, and GFH AND Cellino (trawl back if you like), that buying back ER made sound business sense. Ask them why they didn't, not me.

" We are a club going forwards"....... WTF?

Never asked for, nor expected "magic", unlike our management who think we can scoop up has-beens and never-weres and expect them to become world-beaters, just quality and commitment, pity we have seen an over abundance of neither.

The only thing I can see AR did wrong, was to say Play Offs we're a minimum target. He heightened expectancy and pressure, the stuff we always have in bucket loads here at Elland Road.

If he said I'm paying to takeover club, will buy back ground, renew a number of our young starlets and others on better terms. Put in not dismantle coaching and scouting systems and other affiliated networks...all before Christmas, most would be just happy seeing the club being rebuilt. As has been mentioned Wolves has been 2 years in the making as was Leicester, Southampton even longer.
The training ground plans show his intent....yes we all want promotion yesterday.
We have stopped looking like a joke club with erratic and or skinflint owners. TC is being shown a fair chance despite an awful run. I dare say it's something other possible future candidates will have noted.
The extremes in display is what makes it so frustrating, we are what middle of the table, but the performances have been either promotion or relegation performances. M.O.T.

Meant to add you don't turn around a club in one transfer window... something Everton are realising

Jeez - NW many of my posts have supplied all that ........Raddrizzani is estimated to have spent around £100million overall so far on acquiring ownership of the club, stadium buy back, refurbishment of facilities,on players transfers & contracts,reorganising club administration,settling various creditors so on ..... in short the club has continued to carefully manage its operating cost base effectively.Last season 'First Team' playing wages represented 50% of turnover compared to 71% during the prior financial year,bloody boring reading unless it's your pocket paying the bills with a nervous accountant reminding you of the damn FFP rule whilst looking at Ortas latest target and last Accounts losses.
The Club’s Grass Roots ticket initiative designed to encourage groups of young people to watch live football at Elland Road is continuing to be popular due to finances been pushed heavily into youth initiatives around the city various projects and of course the securing of the new training HQ.Funding is also in place to provide better media services to our vast world support too of which future announcements will convey - again boring to some but essential for the future income of the club.http://peacockandsmiley.com/4583/rad...-leeds-united/
In two years time we will celebrate our Club centenary having been formed in 1919. (Great time for promotion).
Andrea Radrizzani is proving able and determined to engage with all the supporters including fan representatives thus keeping us all in the loop.He kept his word and set about a recruitment policy clearly telling us the focus on youth,honesty of likes which we’ve not seen for decade(s).This season we've actually seen proper signings (players for whom a fee has been asked and payed) players we’ve had to compete for against other clubs of equal and even higher placing,players of decent pedigree who should be able to adapt to life in Yorkshire and cope with the extra pressure of representing Leeds United on and off the pitch whilst under constant media microscopes and less we forget us the expectant fans.Fans of all backgrounds and from all over (husband joined up with Leeds fans from France (Nantes,Paris),Luxembourg,Belgium & Germany and then the Southern England hoards for the Wolves game) so we must be doing something right although I accept Eastleigh is an area that still requires further coaxing as aware is maybe the club.(https://www.leedsunited.com/club/cus...arter#/consult)

Critique's ? Click on Consultation,Information,Communication - see para 1 & 6.

Yes it's easy to critics to state this & that but NOT so easy to implement critics views on what should be done.I do my bit & folks on 'ere do their bit whether that be behind the scenes or handing over hard earned cash to attend matches but it's all opinions at the end of the day for consideration by the club.
But top six was stated for the team to do their bit (a day at Wembley a Defo bonus) and ......... anything better will certainly do for me as long as it's 'Together'.

Cheese sandwich ?
Don't get me started on that - Do English sandwich makers realise that Britain has some great cheese selections particularly in Yorkshire.The flattened paper thin bright orange miserable cheese slice with 'Black & Decker' pre drilled holes in,wedged between a dried regurgitated shrivelled 'alleged' lettuce leaf marketed as a cheese salad sandwich is not the way to promote an excellent industry of established skilled fine purveyors of hard working cheese makers............imo.
