He lasted about as long as Brian Clough did as manager of Leeds So thus far then, Leeds has made only two signings, one of which has been crooked by Butler.

Hmm, interesting.... I wonder who the "potential midfield target" is. I'm guessing if we've let Livermore go already then it must be a pretty high profile signing that is close to completion.
"A club statement reads: "At the time of signing David, Kevin Nicholls and another potential midfield target weren't available to us."

Wonder if we made a profit... that would be quite funny, (except to Millwall).

Fooking hell, thats really strange, I hope we at least got all we paid for him.
So with only two players in and loads out I hope KB has got some potential transfer targets in his sights, we need improvement and 2 players isn't good enough.

What Happened to David Livermore?

He's gone to Hull for an undisclosed fee just 3 weeks after signing for us from Millwall.

Do any Leeds fans really care that Livermore has left already?
Me neither.
Come on Leeds, announce who we are getting!!!! A lot of people on Waccoe seem to think that it is Koumas.... maybe. Just maybe.... The more I think about it the more it could make sense. Cardiff out of the picture, Koumas out of favour still at WBA despite Robson's denial, Leeds suddenly have a big influx into the transfer kitty.... etc. Mmmmmmm.

I just heard about this. I would be surprised yet nothing surprises me with Leeds anymore. I am happy about it because there must be a done deal on the scene. But i urge you all not to jump to conclusions on who's coming in just incase they dont meet your expectations. It won't be Koumas but it might be Matty Holland.

Your managers a joke, it's his training by Warnock coming to the fore.

But i urge you all not to jump to conclusions on who's coming in just incase they dont meet your expectations. It won't be Koumas but it might be Matty Holland. Not jumping to conclusions, just trying to get the rumour mill started I'd be very surprised in all seriousness if it was Koumas coming, but like you said, nothing surprises me either anymore, and I'm still hoping Leeds bring in a big signing to show their intentions before the season starts. Nicholls and Carole are both excellent signings in my opinion but do not have the wow factor that I'm sure Bates will be looking to instill in the Leeds fans before the season starts. Bates has always said that this thrid season is the one targeted for promotion. Sure we have the two decent signings, and a full season of Stone and Bakke, but anyone can see that Leeds are not fully showing their ambition for the coming season yet. We have let more than half a dozen players go, (some deadwood), and made a tidy sum, although some if not all and more of these funds will need to be spent to bring the crowds back in force to Elland Rd this season. One high profile signing could be the catalyst to lift the fans and the players and prvide the impetous for a successful season. Let's face it, if we signed a player like Koumas tomorrow, we'd all be a lot more confident than we are now of attaining promotion. The money is there, the player evidently wants away from WBA, so don't write off the prospect just yet. Still trying to crank this rumour mill...

To be honest, I wouldn't expect a new signing..... the replacement could just be the trialist Cisse........ it doesn't necessarily mean we're gonna go after Koumas or anyone.......
And to be honest I am worried at how Blackwell is managing the club, the amount of players we've had on trial is a joke and its like our first season down in the Championship again..... Blackwell or Bates needs to publicly state wtf is going on, if we have a transfer kitty or not, what the aim is for the season etc......

I wonder if most of you know about the alleged goings on at Thorpe Arch? The fact that very few players and even less of the backroom staff give Blackwell or Carver the time of day? There have been rumours of numerous bust ups with players such as Carlisle, Cademateri, Bakke, Gregan etc etc. Is Livermore another of the fall-outees? He has not featured in either of the last two friendlies. Of course these are just rumours.
Just like when Cademateri did the same two years ago, I’m not overly disappointed. I would, however, be a little concerned if these rumours were true.
Has anyone else heard anything similar?

I heard a rumour about Butler and Blackwell falling out, but that was on the Wolves board - so not much evidence to back that up.
On a seperate note is anyone else slightly concerned that we've not really played our probable starting XI in this friendlies? We've seen bits and pieces of the likely starting team, but they've not really played all together. Shouldn't friendlies be used to build up a bit of confidence with the team, and to get them playing together?? Should they really be used to try out hundreds of different trialists?? Isn't that where Sven went wrong with his friendlies?!
Think I'm just in one of those pessimistic moods this morning, but the beginning of the season (which I once looked on with promise) is now beginning to fill me with a certain amount of dread!
Please can someone help restore my confidence!!!
