Finishing second in each comp (bar the WCC) was a huge disappointment to me given the teams total dominance for much of 2004. A wasted opportunity with permitted funds left languishing in the bank.

SL Leeds are not SL Wigan.

None of those players play in Wigan academy team, and none are forwards.

That's not what Leeds supporters have been repeatedly led to believe though and Eastwood's contract money will just be sat gathering dust now.




Where the club is now is different to where the club should have been given the lead times the departing players gave.

Ellis informed Leeds he was off at the end of the season sometime February/March 2008.

Hetherington packed his bags and came back with the prized signature of Danny Buderus. Telling the supporters 'there's no rush to finalise the squad for 2009.' This will be the same bloke now saying 'it's too late.'

Well whose fault is that?

He signed eastwood aswell and it's not his fault that the new visa system is unfit for purpose.
Imo this squad isn't as thin or as weak as you and some other's think we are 6 games in and top of the league without fielding a fully fit 1st choice 17 yet so what's that tell you???
Keep the faith tvoc and who's to say GH hasn't sorted deals out behind the scene's?????

The same bloke that is trying to get the "reserves" teams realigned again.

Strange he only does it when Leeds are struggling at that level.

If we did decide to strengthen and buy an English SL player, who would be worth splashing the cash on ? (they would have to be better than we have or have the potential) and their club would have to be willing to sell.

I know and I know. But thanks for posting anyway.

Still no direct evidence that spending equates to success.

What was the player turn-around in 2005 anyway? Note-able loss was Furner but Ellis was signed.

Adamson was lost but Amy joined the cheerleading squad that year.

Wayne MacDonald left early in the piece but a very large plank of wood was found lying beneath the Southstand.
