'" Thats the feeling i got too which adds more fuel to the fire that the first team is now the second class citizen of the club.
Quote: Adeybull "
Its getting more and more like Substandard in the the "Believe Leeds" and "Hetherington's Sleeve" times on here every day. If the end result though was how it turned out for Leeds, I guess we could live with it...'" But while Leeds were bringing through their juniors they were signing top players this is the major difference to us we seem to be expecting out the juniors to recover the glory days on their own. |

I disagree. If we end up getting a healthy sum for Sam then presumably we're going to spend some of that cash recruiting from other clubs. I think the fee could potentially be used by other clubs as an excuse to squeeze as much money out of us as possible.
Conversely if they have no idea as to how much we actually got then it would make the negotiations somewhat easier I reckon. |

You must've gone on the football manager's negotiating course...
First tell everyone that you've got stacks of money...
then go around the market shopping and get the best deals  |

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

It is a fair point I accept but clubs are likely to have an inkling that we are not exactly only gonna get ten bob and new set of tracksuits for Mr Burgess aren't they?
Or are all other clubs gonna be slow on the uptake?

2002 Leeds imports - Tonie Carroll, Ben Walker, Willie Poching, Matt Adamson, Adrian Vowles.
2003 Leeds imports - Chris McKenna, Andrew Dunneman, David Furner, Willie Poching, Matt Adamson.
Ours for 2010 - Steve Menzies, Chris Nero, Glen Hall, Heath L'Strange.
Pretty comparable, perhaps with Leeds's 2003 imports shading ours.
Leeds had to go through some awful seasons before their youngsters came good but did they miss out on the play offs? (can't remember) I just hope ours prove to be as good as theirs were. If they aren't then we really are up poop creek |

The club is far better off without "supporters" who wouldn't come to games anymore because Sam Burgess isn't there anymore. |

I'm not sure people should be criticised for wanting to see the strongest possible team put out and, while those who are only looking for reasons to complain are annoying, the strength of the club isn't only measured in the players but in the support staff, infrastructure (ground, training facilities) and interaction with the community all of which cost moneys which even the complainers put in.

Losing Burgess would only be a part of the jigsaw though, and, as I stated earlier, it would seriously devalue their "Building for the Future" line that is being used.
Selling Burgess would be an issue. Completely pulling the wool over the eyes of the fans who turn up at games is completely different.

For that kind of money I'd say no deal.
