To be honest I think it's great what Ken's done, and he'll get a lot of backing from the top clubs who are all fairly sick of Chelsea managing to buy their way out of any problems. If the FA actually take a stand for once and make an example of Chelsea, it would stop the bigger clubs from taking the youngsters out of the academies of the clubs in the lower divisions.
Even if we get nothing out of it - it's not exactly bad press we're getting.
So we win whatever happens!

Heard some more rumours that the reason Livermore was brought in and subsequently sold was because Leeds were trying to offload Bakke, but as noone has enquired about Bakke at all, we've decided to keep him for now with the intention of trying again during the Xmas transfer window to at least something for him before his contract runs out and he becomes a free agent. Apparently, with the additional pressure of interest in taking Derry elsewhere (i.e. Stoke), Blackwell felt he had to act and bring in new midfielders, but with Bakke now staying and Derry staying put, Livermore was surplus to requirements, with or without Nicholls. Why did'nt he be decisive and say Derry is going nowhere

. Why did'nt he be decisive and say Derry is going nowhere Leeds rarely say anything until a deal is on the table. Also, I guess until a figure is mentioned there's nothing to deny. Personally I wouldn't even consider letting Derry go for less than £1.2m, he's one of our most consistent battling players and was great last year. Even at that price, I think he is worth more to Leeds if we kept him.

Blackwells 3 year plan seems to be a load of crap....... hes quoted in the Daily Mirrror saying that we'll be up in the premiership i another two or three seasons..... because we don't have the financial power o compete with other clubs........ I'm not happy about this......

You are reading the Daily Mirror. That says it all really.
Even so he obviously has a point, we can judge and criticise all we like but we don't know the exact financial position of the club and how well we'd cope in the Prem. It's all part of seeing the bigger picture.

I agree it's terrible, he should be saying really going for promotion this season. 2 or 3 three years what kind of ambition is that 3 years down here is far to long anyway, let alone 4 or 5! But I'm not about to get on the managers back on the first day of the season, let see how we do first, and don't judge on the first couple of weeks.
