Leeds

McDermott hasn't been sacked apparently. :blink:

Football can be odd at times.

They are being taken over by a wealthy Italian family from Cagliari. Guess who is a legend around Cagliari? Gianfranco Zola. Not sure what the odds are of him taking over but I would back them heavily.

McDermott reinstated now as the Italians don't actually own the club yet.... (According to Richard Keys on BeIn Sport)

Mess of a club

The new owners own Cagliari, the Cellino family, they bought Cgliari in 92; look how many managers they have had since then. Leeds ain't going anywhere soon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagliari_Calcio

I missed the period when Leeds were a top flight club. I started paying attention to the EPL the last season Leeds were in the Prem with Smith, Milner, and Robinson.

I'd kind of like to see them back up. I know they are a huge club and it would be fun to see them playing at the top again.

I sometimes think that if we had gone down in 1994 or 1998 then we would now be just like Leeds. Or Sheff Wed.

So when the Italians take over will he be sacked again?

absolute mess of a club.

take note those who were screaming for a short term 'quick fix' on deadline day. Leeds is what happens to 'quick fix' planning.

Who knows but I fear you're right.

Good point

Leeds United is a strange club. I bet their fans would be delighted for the sort of consistency that we've enjoyed since the Premier League began

Poor Leeds. When I started playing FIFA around '02 I used to use them. Liked Viduka, Kewell, Keane. At least in the digital sense. Not sure I'd ever even seen a top flight league match on TV at that time. Just World Cup.

made up they are were they are, hope it gets worse for them as well

I like Leeds and I like Leeds fans, for the most part. That team that got to the CL semi was unreal.

Only this. Knuckle dragging Munich singing, dirty Leeds.

Leeds fans are amongst the worst I've ever had the misfortune to come across. They deserve their spell in the wilderness, every time I drive past that massive ****hole I smile at their plight

I loved that team pre 05. They were my second team after everton. Think that the PL is poorer for not having them. Although their fans are prone to kopite behaviour at times. Likewise Sheffield Wednesday, would like to see them back in the PL.
