Should I stay of should I go

Just paying attention that chap everyone (you included) said I should pay attention to.

Of course, he could be wrong (given our dear departed DoFs head for negotiations, who knows) but it would have been sensible, wouldn't it?

And anyway, those who have played 1st team football and done any good (and I include Meslier, Wober and Gnonto in that number), it's not that that will lead them to decide to go, its what the club will be like and the uncertainty about that that I believe will turn their heads, the salary reduction (if true) would be further disincentive.

Btw, promotion, with what we have left, and with a whole new club structure to accommodate whilst playing in the hardest league to get out of, you been taking the same stuff Hopey has.

Pretty sure I’ve never told anyone on here to listen to Phil, I await the proof.
The article says most… vague… I would expect the best players will have the best contract contingency written in, I’ve seen Gnonto agent say he reckons Will stays even if relegated.. but like most stuff, it’s all conjecture at moment.

You say you haven't suggested Phil Hay is to be taken seriously when conjecturing, who am I to argue with you. Fact is, many others did when I questioned the veracity of some of the things he has reported on in the past, but no matter

The article isn't vague at all, it states quite categorically that;

"The excerpt from the article in The Athletic reads:

“The better news is that Leeds are protected by significant clauses inserted into every player’s contract, which will see wages fall by a minimum of 50 per cent and maximum of 60 per cent in the event of relegation. This would mitigate the financial damage.”

Now that could be correct, or not, but if it is, I suspect very few of those playing in the 1st team would be happy to stay and take such a cut (would you take a 50% pay cut, just to stay where you were (and not at the wages they get!))?)

You're absolutely right, all this is conjecture and debate, but as we don't yet know our fate, it fills the time (a bit), although my comments about the returning loanees do have some substance. Shackletons agent as I mentioned in another post has said he thinks a move away from LUFC would benefit the player, Drameh has made no secret of his disastisfaction with his current situation, Hjelde and Gelhardt have both been "mentioned in dispatches" by the clubs they were loaned to regarding their desire to get both players back.

Not saying all the young players would go, but what trust would you put in the current basket case that is LUFC, and how much faith that any new owner can fix it, presuming a new owner emerges (and how long would it take)?
