Seventeen Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I hope DC is smart enough not to go there. That's no disrespect to Leeds, more so their owner as the article clearly points out he's trigger happy. I wasn't worried when he was put in at 12/1 or whatever but he's down to evens now in the space of a few hours. For what it's worth Super, the tinpot comment was clearly sarcastic.

The Gasbuster Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 This would be very funny if it did happen. What better way than to end our poor run against Leeds with 6 points off of them, with Dopey in charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Why would anybody go to Leeds? Is the salary huge? Is there a guaranteed severance package when they get fired a couple months down the line? I suppose if the answer to either is yes then some mercenaries will go there. I don't think DC is that stupid. But time will tell if he is. Karl Robinson has apparently had an epiphany and ruled himself out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliesboots Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just broke out for lunch here in Arkansas where it's a lovely 24 degrees sunny, cloudless sky kind of a day, we've got a tasty warm buffet laid on with some very sumptuous looking strawberries I'm eyeing up for dessert. What could make such a wonderful lunchtime even better? I know my phone going wild with the news of "The Dogfather" himself speaking to Leeds Utd. Now I can say a little over a Million £ a year is on the table and he's not going to get much assurances from his new owner Wael as his contract negotiations there haven't even been discussed but what do you expect from a club who wouldn't buy new goal nets when DC asked for them so bought them himself. The "Owner" (and I say that loosely) has no money, he hasn't put anything in to the club other than buying out Piggy and Co. Oh actually he did buy them new catering facilities A NEW BURGERVAN to help increase match day hospitality revenue, so add that to the Asphalt for the UWE car park it's a win win situation. If it's all definitely on then DC will be gone, there's no love lost between him and the new regime. As for the Stadium? When your going cap in hand around City financiers like a desperate scene from 'The Producers' (as one friend told me the meeting went) to get capital then you know it's going to end badly especially when your OWN FAMILY BANK can't raise the money itself. "Thousand foot barge pole" described another friends reaction to them too. Still they remain delusional and the messiah will deliver. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's like the Newcastle job in that they all go there knowing if they get it right they will be legends and highly paid ones at that . But the truth is for one reason or another they all fail. Leeds is still a huge job in this division if the money's right he will take it and he will fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True , he has to move whilst his stock his high . If they have a bad start he will be sacked just not with as much money as when Leeds sack him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From non league rovers to Leeds who lets face it is the biggest club in the league along with villa and the toon.

Red Army 75 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just said to the father in law . Dopey might be of to Leeds his reply was .' Why would he go there he's got everything he needs at rovers ' . I started laughing he called me a shithead .

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Someone on Slagchat thinks the Dopemeister would be mad to go to Leeds because, amongst other things, Rovers have a huge fanbase. Clubs like Leeds Utd must look at the Gas Season Ticket sales in the region of 4-5k (after a promotion season) and wonder how they can ever compete against such a Goliath of English football? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approx 20k a week built up with bonus and severance package. So factoring in tax £30-40k a month is what they are prepared to pay It was so laughable I had to ask three times the person who would definitely know these things. Leeds are throwing money at contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
