Hopefully he does then we won't have to pay compensation 🙏

Agreed. We have far too many drama queens as fans. For all the good, there was the constant losing of possession, trying to overplay and woeful finishing. For all the praise he gets, it's overlooked that James and Bamfraud scored more than him. For the £40m profit on Summerville and Geo, we should be easily be able to sign a number 10, striker, winger and LB.

He’s having the rug pulled out from under his feet atm. Maybe he’ll walk.
I wonder the same. Can't be a lot of positive to hold onto rn. I know I'm struggling with seeing the bright side, so if any of you Brits (who are notoriously known for your sunny dispositions and positive way of seeing the world :), can give me the silver lining in all of this, this yank sure would be appreciative!!

Exciting couple of weeks coming up now and plenty of very good players out there for us to sign.

Just don't ask me to name them :)

I would love to see them be able to do this, but we won't get the same quality in that we've lost imo. You take Geo out of all our matches last year and we would have had far fewer points. Someone else could have stepped into Dan's shoes or Paddy's, but not Geo's. Again, just my opinion.

Just the fact that Brighton went in for 40 million for Geo tells you all you need to know. They are know for spotting talent/potential and selling on for a profit. You can all but guarantee the same will happen with Geo.

The 49ers are forced to sit there, grim faced playing this giant game of kerplunk hoping the next straw removed at gunpoint isn’t the one to finish us off - I think Geo just might be
Good analogy...this is the step too far for me. we have no creative disruptors left in the team.

We need some replacements, fast..and they need to be decent.

Beggars belief! Point of reference - others have buggered off but Marathe and Kinnear were around at the time that particular contract was signed. Perhaps they should be asked for an explanation which, of course, is never going to come

I’ve just noticed the stroppiness in his pressers.
He keeps reminding people he's the boss which normally means you aren’t.
Dont think managing Norwich is in the same ballpark tbh.

Go and have a look on the good news thread Ash.
Maybe there’s something on there but i doubt it.
Perhaps Sean has posted a picture of his purple potato frolicking in the garden. No hang on news just in his release clause was met. He’s off to the chip factory

F*ck me, that was funny and exactly what I needed, J. Good stuff lol. I about pissed myself and spit out my coffee at the same time.

Also, just realized that I hope to God that a "purple potato" is not some weird-ass British slang for his member lol.

No mate it’s actually a purple potato not a c**k.
He’s called Peter and he lives in Finland.

How do other clubs know about the release clause ?
Brighton left it to the last minute to trigger it how did they know?
I never thought I'd see clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth having more success than the mighty Leeds Utd ,time to rethink our standing.
Totally peed off !

For me the money is irrelevant Dan.

Georgie makes us tick. Reminds me of Ronaldo at his age. We will suffer as a result.

Also any players we bring in will be overpriced and not make amy where near the contribution he has.

Thats the last shock i suppose bar Gnonto and that wouldn’t be a shock at all actually more of a surprise if he doesn’t go.

This, we'll make 13-15M. But it's a massive kick in the nuts for all Leeds fans.
