    The way they 49ers played yesterday it's to be hoped they know more about 'soccer' than 'football'

    In all honesty though, it might help Leeds compete with the Big Six (or Five or Four whatever it is these days). NFL teams are not shy of offering $1M contracts on a Monday and releasing the players fully paid up by Friday when they've watched them in training and realise they won't work out.

    Big thing though to be able to buy the club and the ground, with that kind of collateral surely they will be looking for big names to sign.

    If that big take over came, couldn't see Belisa still being in charge there, then again with the resources he's had at his disposal, he's done fairly well with them.

    It could be worse, they could be bought out by garbage teams like Detroit or Houston or Jackyville. 😫
