Yes, Leeds are on the way back up, but lets hope that they get the financial backing to keep em up. As a lifelong Leeds fan Im sick of the loyal fans being let down by tight ar5ed chairmen/board who won't spend on a decent squad to give the fans the quality they deserve, i hope that now we're " marchin on together" they keep on going back to the top where a club such as Leeds who have such a massive and loyal fanbase belongs! " Two more years to go before we take the Stretford/Scoreboard/Kop etc !! " OK rant over. :D

Be careful what you wish for my friend...you had a chairman once that gave backing with plenty of pounds notes and it lead to the dimise...much the same as we now face...I would not be suprised if we end up in league 1 in the next couople of seasons.. :x

With cuddly Ken in charge I doubt he will be throwing much money at the club. He bought Chelsea for £1 and got a decent price for the club from Abramovitch but he was running it in such a way that the wheels were about to fall off.

For Leeds I'd say "be careful what you wish for" - Ridsdale bet the clubs future on repeated champions league qualification and screwed up.

I am indeed a West Ham person. Donny hunters = doubtful, I've got a pathological dislike for doing anything like the commute to work unless I have to. Would have been a good run out for the series 2 but I've just taken the tanks out to give them a good clean and to fit a fuel level sender and it's doubtful I'll have it all back together for Saturday.

That's why I don't go to football so much these days, I can't justify spending my money to subsidise the obscene salaries etc.
