What other options are there these days? Parachute payments inflate every single Championship club's playing budget which in turn inflates League 1 etc., etc.

That's easily done. Firstly they don't let many people on there apart from Leeds fans. Secondly, if they lose Waccoe goes into lockdown preventing non-members even looking in on their meltdowns.
For such a 'big club', Leeds are SO precious.

You've missed the point. We spent a lot less than other clubs last summer. Our record signing is Duffy at approx £4M.
Don't forget Seagull Travel Coaches and Buses are subsidised from the Travel supplement. For example going with ST for the cup match from Seaford the price has gone up by £5 as there is no subsidy. Guess the number using the Seagull travel must be close to a 1000.
And Solly March, who could've been a rival to player of the season if he hadn't been injured!

Exactly. I find it funny that any Wednesday fans would comment on our spending. We signed Duffy and Norwood for money this summer. Probably about £5 million between them. I think they made seven or eight signings this summer including Reach and Abdi, both of whom cost more than Duffy if I remember correctly.
When you compare our record signing, Duffy, to the money spent by the likes of Newcastle, Norwich, Derby, Wednesday and Villa on their squads, he comes nowhere near. And that ignores teams like Fulham and QPR who have had periods of major spending in recent years.
True, though Leeds Rhinos are the best supported Rugby League club - Sheffield doesn't have that.

And Liam Rosenior, deliberately smashed by Kermogant.

Not sure Kermogant will get a friendly welcome when Reading visit, was a viscous and uncalled for tackle.

I didn't miss the point at all. However, it is undeniable that each year, an organic growth into the PL becomes less and less likely.
Not sure that these figures are accurate:
Transfer League (last 5 seasons for Championship clubs)

PL

Conclusion: buying only correlates with success only 50% of the time. Selling and replacing with inferior players is 90% failure.

TLO comes across as a bit of a pompous arse on there, TBH.

You know it's the same person? TLO is the same as The Large One? Aren't you jumping to a big conclusion?
