Just answering the question. Why you're just repeating idle gossip we have know idea what gone on. Not really. That’s what he said.

Hoyle did his usual playing up to his fanboys claiming “we’d had their pants down” as he did every time we sold a player, claimed LOB wasn’t that good, no end product, etc. then it bit him on the arse when LOB thought he was a twat. FFS give it a rest its over and done with and now we have a new owner move on. Just answering the question.

Would be amazing, but there is bad blood with LOB and how he was treated when leaving the club. That’s why wouldn’t come back on loan in Jan. Doubt he’d drop down now and even though new owners etc don’t think we’d convince him to come How he was treated ? The club accepted a lower fee to let him have his move, didn't they?

Off the peg or not, if it increases revenue then that's the main thing. It's not a fashion parade. Would it increase revenue ? Are we selling less Umbro ones than we did Puma 🤔. The bigger brands are only interested in servicing the biggest clubs, everyone else gets the same range as district league teams. It seems strange as it would appear that there’s a three year strategy to cover the thrice champions centenary. This year, one gold star, etc. It doesn’t bother me particularly, too old for it, but would imagine these years are planned out.

Couldn't be there tonight and following the thread on twitter however the last comment misses the point for me. I can't imagine many fans don't go to watch town because they have to queue a while to get a beer. Improving customer service is nice and all that bit what really puts bums on seats is entertainment on the pitch and right now that will only be improved by signing better players. If you build it, they will come. Yeah, I’m an old bugger, but my “match day experience” would be significantly improved by winning a few games. I can probably last a couple of hours without a beer or food (I don’t usually eat between 3pm and 5pm), but another defeat can ruin the entire week.

Bit of a pointless thread really as all our transfer fees are undisclosed so no one really knows. As with most things around the club these days.

Are Castore our Kit supplier for next season? Our deal with Umbro currently runs until the end of 2024/2025 season, so not unless something has changed beyond the obvious ownership.

I think Warnock was a sensible option considering the job he did and the budget we appear to have. I’m surprised Leam Richardson hasn’t got another job as yet (to my knowledge anyway).

Just seen a picture of their third kit. Not picking on them because it’s them, but it’s a shocker. It in the colours of Fruit Salad sweets (yum!), but their fans will look like Mr Blobby in it! "The new Leeds United 23-24 third kit pays tribute to the team's history and Yorkshire. This unique third kit was designed in collaboration with Acid FC and encourages fans to express themselves and their passion for the team." What a load of old bollocks. As someone who writes for a living, we love this sort of stuff although the launch of The Hundred will be hard to beat … Manchester Originals are “celebrating a global city of firsts” and “laughing in the face of limits”. Birmingham Phoenix are “a celebration of the strength in diversity, because different is good”. Northern Superchargers are “powered by positivity and people who get stuff done”. Southern Brave are “endlessly curious, with an insatiable appetite for adventure”. Trent Rockets will launch “the biggest party in the country” exclusively for those “who don’t mind having the most fun”. Welsh Fire are “burning bright with intense passion and relentless energy” with – and this phrase might have felt particularly meaningful for whoever penned it – a “hunger to prove the haters wrong”.

Just seen the new Leeds away kit … different! how did they manage to make it garish and bland at the same time? I like the idea of a peacock motif for Leeds but they've completely copped out with the colours, it's like a peacock that's been through the wash too many times Just seen a picture of their third kit. Not picking on them because it’s them, but it’s a shocker. It in the colours of Fruit Salad sweets (yum!), but their fans will look like Mr Blobby in it!

It’s funny how many people have criticised the club’s small-time mentality yet seem happy enough with the two defeats so far and have written off Saturday because we can’t compete with the likes of Leicester. Maybe that’s the best way to be and get the blood pressure down?! 🤷🏻♂️

I’m pretty sure Bullock and Makel played together for a spell despite what other posters are saying and they were good together. Makel underrated by Town fans because he could play and had a footballing brain, but was deemed to be soft and not getting stuck in (he actually won his fair share of tackles by simply nicking the ball away from opponents when they overran or miscontrolled it).

REG couldn’t get a game at Wigan and now is an integral part of our first team. It amazes me when people argue our squad isn’t shit. It really is. Warnock performed a miracle and will have to again with that lot.

The slight concern I had/have is that it looked likely that he’d be taking over a League 1 club and was prepared to do so. Does that mean it was more suited to his budget/intended investment or does that not come into it? The other more obvious problem is that Warnock performed such a miracle that it disguised how poor our squad is. We were awful most of the season. We had players go out on loan to clubs lower than ourselves who couldn’t get a game and are now seen as an integral part of the squad.

Turton appears to get better every month he’s out. I’m expecting him to be Cafu by the time he gets back training. He was terrible and then improved to bang average, unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Edwards looked decent today in the short spell I saw, to be fair.

Schofield signs for Pompey. Fucking hell, he’s done well there! I genuinely thought he’d be at Golcar next season if he was lucky. Good luck to him though.

As I’ve said many times, I’m not a big fan but thought Thomas looked good today. Worked hard, tracked back, looked lively, took his man on and played with a smile on his face. The Warnock effect? Whatever it is, long may it continue.

Hungbo can control a ball, beat players and score goals. Sorba takes a decent set piece. Decent set pieces which our players scored goals from. Oh god you’re right why would we want that in our team. His set pieces resulted in players other than our non scoring strikers getting goals. Like I said on my other post, I’m not saying Hungbo is a poor player, but he isn’t as good or as big a threat as Thomas. I didn’t say we didn’t need that in our team. Just assessing their relative merits and my opinion that Hungbo is more dangerous from open play and Sorba more from dead ball situations. I’ve never been a huge fan of ST admittedly, both his general play and apparent attitude. Hopefully Warnock can get him to knuckle down and get the best out of him.

He’s a class above Sorba. No he’s not. Sorba is one of the best wingers in this division when he is firing on all cylinders. We’re just remembering the poor attitude Sorba that was here before he went to Blackburn. I think Warnock will get him knuckling down and finding that love for football again. Hungbo can control a ball, beat players and score goals. Sorba takes a decent set piece.

If we have zero funds we can't have been in for him. I imagine he went for a fee. Or perhaps the team weighed options up and felt he'd not get much of a start if Sorba is fit. He’s a class above Sorba.

Colwill’s been fantastic. Keeper looks good. ESM terrible, Madueke far better since he came on. Palmer’s been a disgrace.

How much does a couple of decent cup runs bring these days? We’ve not had any in the last god knows how many years. The cups are dying, sadly. Poor attendances, even with cheap tickets, as teams field weakened teams. There might be a little bit of tv money, but probably not much. Premier League clubs would rather finish one place higher in the league than win a cup, such is the financial disparity.
