Lets hope it is the last laugh and there isnt another one after that followed by another and another and another and another
Thing I don't understand about Bates is if he actually put a little bit of cash into Leeds and made them a PL team before selling their value would be much higher.
I remember being warned by Sheffield Wednesday not to let Ken Bates anywhere near our club
How right they were.
By reports the prospective owners made a last ditch attempt to keep Snody as late as yesterday. So - if we assume that is correct then they did not budget for him going and the money they got for him.
That begs the question why suddenly, when we couldn't raise £400k for Ward, have we managed to spend on Varney, Austin etc?
Why is because after the Ward incident NW was ready to walk and only the prospect of a takeover and funds to buy players kept him at our club. Those assurances did not come via Bates!
Maybe the £2M for Snodgrass has something to do with being able to pay for Varney and Austin.
Its just a hunch
Keith Andrews is the worst footballer i have ever watched.
LIW speaks of people robbing a living...well this bloke is the epitomy of Robbing a Living.
The euro's showed him exactly for what he is, slow, weak, terrible passer and wasteful when attacking....exactly the sort of player we do not want at Elland Road.
Cox, Templeton & Hammill on the other hand i would like to see in the white of LUFC
keith andrews cannot be the worst player ever I watched Brolin
Id take Brolin as he is now over Andrews.

Hunwick,
If they intended to keep Snoddy how would they know they were getting £3m (1.5 upfront)?
The prospective owners did not want him to go so they did not have the money in their budget when they gave White the new contract and bought the players.
The prospective owners haven't bought the new players, Bates has. Bates is still in charge, the takeover hasn't happened yet and isn't close to happening so how and why would people who have no stake in the club buy players? It makes as much sense as Stoopo's constant bleating that he is in the know. Which is the sum of zip.
Also - If we had intended to keep him, Warnock wouldn't have said he signed Varney as his replacement
Young White,
Warnock did not buy him to replace Snoddy but as cover for him. It's strange how Varney said this:
Asked about the challenge of stepping into Snodgrass’ shoes, Varney said: “I don’t think we’re here to replace anyone. We’re all here do our own jobs. But I must admit that when I signed he was one of the players I was looking forward to playing with. It’s unfortunate, but he’s a young lad and he can’t miss his chance of playing in the Premier League. I’m sure the fans are disappointed, as the players are, but we’ll move on.”
I was so pleased when Ken Bates went to Leeds and not us, felt sorry for you guys on the other hand. £35 quid for the *pleasure* of sitting at Elland Road is a joke. Not that it's the fans fault but Leeds should be made to pay the same when they go away as well.
Varney was a good player for us but often went missing for periods in games, he'll probably get about 10 goals for you this season.
Stoopo
my reply re the Snodgrass sale. You assume we tried to keep him!!!
If Bates is still at the helm, which I believe he is, Bates knew we were going to sell and would get at least £1.5M which would easily pay for our new players and contract improvement for White
My point was that Neil has been handed a treasure chest containing sandand told to get promotion out of it by that cretin
