Radz reaches agreement on Sampdoria

[Rev72]

It does read like that Rev. I hope he sees the anger the fans have and realises he needs to go.
However self profit is his driving force so I don't know what's going on...

Also revealed today that he planned to offer Elland Road as security in a deal to buy Sampdoria.

Obviously that will go down like a lead balloon with the Leeds faithful , the straw that breaks the camels back , needs to go and quick!

[spaldy]

I'm almost sick to the stomach thinking about him staying. The damage would be worse than anything the last 10 years. Maybe worse than risdale

it probably means the 49's pull out as well. they'll see what's coming and just buy into another club.

as poorly as he ran us the last year he'll probably also need to use the collateral that is Elland Road since they'll run Sampadoria the way he ran us.

[WTF11]

He invested in Leeds....he has made a fortune out of Leeds. Unlike any other chairman in the league.
A far better position....we will be in the same league. If he means financially he must mean the multiple investment from external bodies who now own a large chunk of the club. So he didn't spend his own money.
Better playing squad...FFS....
Youth team was very poor. If he means 23s they are back in top league after being relegated.
He's a self important, arrogant, wide boy. Very clever in making money out of us.

I suspect that the "positive" view of his contributions is somewhat in the minority.

The guy is just too bad for words;

Grim reading that.

Has to go.

Was on the cards and anyone that was thinking everything would change for the better well here it is a week later.
Like I said 49ers will pull out and we will be stuck with this peace of garbage.

[WTF11]

Surely there must be someone who posts on here who would like to remind us of all the good that our under-fire owner has done for LUFC, perhaps those who mentioned all the good things when posting on the "relegation, what next" thread? Come on, you know you want to!

If he did offer the ground as collateral for a loan to buy Sampdoria then not only was that incredibly ill advised without apparently informing the 49ers (who are shareholders in the company that owns the ground), it is possibly in breach of any shareholders agreement between them but more importantly means his time is almost certainly done and made his position fairly untenable.

I don’t want him to stay as I want to see what the 49ers can do when in full control but I don’t see how anyone can say we are in a worse position that when he took over.

We didn’t look even close to promotion, we still didn’t fully own the ground, the training facilities were in disrepair, the pitches were rubbish. We might not rate the current squad in premier league terms or some of the signings but don’t see how on a player by player assessment it is not better than the squad we had when he took over - ditto rhe youth/reserve set up.

The squad he inherited was

Wiedwald
Lonergan
Green
peacock- Farrell
Pontus
Cooper
Pennington
Shaughnessy
Botthwick Jackson
Alioski
De Bock
Denton
Pearce
Struijk
Dallas
Ayling
Berardi
Phillips
Anita
Bridcutt
Bouy
Forshaw
Vieira
Klich
OKane
Murphy
Gomes
Diaz
siaz
Pablo
Cibicki
Clarke
Sacko
Stokes
Wood
Roofe
Lassoga
Roberts
Grot
Antonsson
Ekuban
Edmondson

The hair stood up on the back of my neck when I read most of them names

[ozleeds]

Yep done really well let's keep.
Meslier Ayling Pat Forshaw Cooper bamf Harrison Dallas This was our championship squad and when fit all play now. So where is the improvement?
His best signing Orta
A lot are saying he is all business but to me, he looks like a terrible businessman, and the fact he has to use Elland Road as collateral says a lot about it.
Jk debacle
James
Firpo
Larente
Kristo
Aaronson
Rutter
Our better players' values have dropped like the last coin in my pocket.
the list goes on as millions are wasted.
His success
The shop doing really well
restaurant doing ok
And the Bremner statue has been well maintained.
