Andyben Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 If I'm Jim Ratcliffe, after appointing Allegri, I'm going balls deep in signing Scalveni and Koopmainers from Atalanta. Zirkzee, Joao Neves and Branthwaite as well. Rashford and Bruno Fernandes to raise some cash and free up wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Evans is spending like he's in Greggs. Clarke-Harris 10k a week Joe Rafferty, from Portsmouth, 9k Shaun McWilliams, from Northampton, 9k Reece James, matched his Wednesday wage of roughly 8k And he's not done yet. He's attracting a lot of free agents by offering large wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy town fans quickly disappear when they are not doing well, they were giving attendances out of 10 and 11,000 last season when it was clear that some season ticket holders had packed in going and they were probably around 7 or 8,000 in stadium. They will have gone back to being Leeds or Liverpool fans again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExile Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Rotherham seem on course to make a good challenge for top 2 again. Although by the end of the window there may be some good competition there. The point that jumps out is they are taking a Darren Moore approach of signing experienced players who are stand out in L1 but fairly average in the championship and sometimes fairly ineffective so it’s the same cycle but more expensive. They’d have been better building something longer term there and I’d have felt the same if we had gone down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have opted to mix it with these which is fair enough short term but I guess even if they are successful they have a lot to do in the championship on a smaller wage budget than we had.

Tylluan Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Leeds problem is two fold. The players they can make money on, apart from Archie Gray, are probably the same players they owe money for. Then there's the wages. The likes of Dan James, Ampadu, Kamara, etc are on silly money so shifting them means them taking large cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto_Man Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) What's crazier is that if every player took a 50% reduction on relegation they still have a wage bill of £70+m in the championship. Edited May 27 by Otto_Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Jack Harrison has gone back on loan to Everton after triggering a clause in his contract that said he could leave for top flight football if Leeds didn't get promoted. So basically he cost Leeds £13m but his contract says he only plays PL football for them. His contract runs out in 2028.
