    Very true but gonna need required quota of 'Home Grown' players meaning a player who irrespective of nationality or age has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of 3 entire seasons or 36 months, before his 21st birthday.

    Obviously our rookie Under-21 players are not included on the 25-man squad lists but are still eligible to play in the PL.

    So each clubs squad must contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the 'Home Grown' Player criteria. The rest of the squad up to a total of 25 players must be 'Home Grown', tho.

    Recall discussing this subject on 'here' prior to Christmas '24 on what will be needed for PL & I still believe we need at least 10 proven players to be bought in minimum. 👍

    Reading today that our Aussie billionaire backer Peter Lowy ordered free drinks for our South Stand ER fans after win against PNE, the same bloke who refuses seats of directors boxes in our away games choosing to stand with our voiciferous packed away end instead.

    Hes been flying in from Los Angeles to attend Leeds games since arriving in 2021 as part of the 49ers Enterprises ownership as the biggest investor through the Lowy Family Group, who are now expected to be pivotal in the refurb of ER & redevelopment of its surrounding area.

    So maybe the board could have 11 words, starting with 'please' in his ears regarding what new will be needed, player wise. 😉

    Using the official Leeds website for players confirmed as being in the 1st team squad;

    Manager

    None

    Goalkeepers

    None

    Defenders

    Firpo (although maybe not as conventional back line player)
    Rodon
    Struijk

    Midfielders

    Rothwell
    Tanaka

    Forwards

    James
    Solomon
    Ramazani
    Gnonto

    If we go up, the 49ers Enterprises best have deep pockets!
