    The 'Official' Website

    Well here we are in the age of social media and the inter-web with a mountain of questions and concerns that should be addressed by the Club (Clarke leaving, finances, Bilelsa's future, new signings, getting rid of the dead wood, hanging on to our best players, EFL conspiracies etc etc) and what does the official website tell us about?

    Barry Douglas's shirt is up for auction

    Steward Recruiting Evening

    Dementia Cafe get together

    Methinks our marketing, media and PR gurus need to pull their fingers out.

    Yeah, it's not the best for being up to date on what's going on.

    Didnt think the finances were that bad that we would have to sell the shirts of the players back.

    The correct protocol when buying or selling a player, is not to comment until the deal has been finalized or fallen through.

    You are missing the point - it's not just about transfers. The vast majority of the "news" is inane drivel.

    The drivel isn't coming from LUFC, why should they comment on click bait. You think they should be telling us what players their chasing, or publicly state what players they want to offload ?????

    A little bit of hope, that we are actually going to sign someone, would be nice.

    Clubs should never comment on any of those things, find me a club website that is talking about what players they're after or who they're getting rid off or even worse EFL conspiracies, just imagine the fines and backlash the club would get

    Have you actually ever looked at the Official Website? It's not click bait (that is the sh_1te that covers THIS forum)- it is news posts related to items that have been manually chosen and added to the page. That is kind of the point of a website. If you compare this with pretty much any other sports website (I happen to follow a number of rugby and cricket sites) then by any comparative metric the Leeds United site provides meaningless drivel and virtually NOTHING that is actually of interest to the majority of supporters.

    The official website is never going to join in with all the hype and speculation and quite frankly I'd think the worse of them if they did, there's plenty of that to be found if that's what you're looking for without the Club joining in.
