Not sure why another club loosing their ground is something to celebrate? Surely you know how that feels?
I wish I could post more, but when the whole sorry tale of the boardroom and their failures comes out perhaps people will understand just how badly we have been shafted.

I would ignore the above poster, he has a bitter and near pathological hatred of Leeds. Whilst seeing the mighty fall is amusing, under no circumstances do most sane people want to see another club lose its last asset or go to the wall.
Still if you get to play Barnsley, you can let Risdale know.
Starry said:
agree with that starry, as much as I hate Leeds fans for thinking they "belong in the prem" at the end of the day its another kick in the teeth for football....but then again how did they get into this situation? A Chairman who wanted the best and overspent....now they are f***ed so its their own doing in a way, but still...dont wanna see them go further down shit creek without a paddle. League 2 will do nicely for them
League 2 is something I would take. SO long as we still have a Leeds Utd, and right now it's a very real possibility that we may cease to exist as we do now.
Ridsdale has been and gone and we'll forever live under what he did to us, but the current board have done far worse things than he did. The whole tale will come out.

Think we all know how Starry and other Leeds fans feel .... come on guys we have been there (Wrexham are currently there) and in all honesty we were never the BIG club that Leeds were. Archer may have been worse than Ridsdale but the end result is fairly similar.

I think it's the big club attitude. It tends to use up the good-will that might otherwise be shown. The club hasn't readjusted to it's reduced circumstances yet.

This is from the BBC:
Leeds £25m takeover collapses
The £25m takeover of Leeds United by an American consortium led by Sebastian Sainsbury has collapsed.
The money was not transfered by 1300 GMT on Friday and the club has now ceased negotiations with Sainsbury and Nova Financial Partners.
A second consortium led by Norman Stubbs is ready to invest £10m but their involvement is understood to be dependent on the sale of Elland Road.
It is thought the sale would be on a sale and leaseback deal.
Leeds need to repay a reported £3m on a loan made by Aston Villa director Jack Petchey by close of business on Friday if they are to avoid a £2m penalty.

But we have. I am not sure why people keep on with the big club mentality. I am a season ticket older, go week in week out home and away. The people i go to football with are just grateful that we still have a club, we were once a top 4 Prem club, enjoyed Europe etc. That was 3 years ago, we all know we are your average Championship team now. We don;t have a right to beat any team, we aren't any better than another.
Every noise out of the club has been about stabilisation and how we'd take mid tabel obscurity in the Championship, the fans accept the same, how is that a big club mentality?

How about stopping your mananger moaning about being unable to sign the players he wants and then going out and signing Healy. If you really are working on a restricted budget you end up with a 38 year old who's been out of league football for a year on a months contract.

Ok , I wouldn't ever want to see any club lose their ground, but we didnt go out spending money to chase the champions league dream. The money they spent after two good seasons was a lesson to all football clubs.
I do feel sorry for the fans as they are very much behind their club no matter what, but the club is in this situation purely on their own doing.
Not exaclty the same sorry situation as Wrexham I think you'll agree.
