lol..got many rumours that many chelsea players will walk out of the club...wonder they're goin to be like leeds someday..

yup i know... haiz... cant believe a giant like leeds fell so badly... they deserve better... yup dennis wise is doing one heck of a job by shouting his lungs out at a match... wondering if he will still be in charge if leeds really makes it to the premiership in the next few years... haha

hope leeds can make it to premiership too..someone who can manage the financial properly have to takeover leeds management and make them comeback..

Register me! I am Leeds United fan !

i may not be a leeds fan but i really do sympathize them... seriously... no matter how deep rivalry goes between clubs... its always bad to see any of them suffering from problems... as i do believe in a fair fight... same goes to my feelings about chelsea at the current moment... altho i dislike mourinho and his tactics... but for a club to let go a manager who has brought so much history and medals for the club... sacking him isn't worthwhile at all...

i enjoy to see leeds palying when there are smith and hasselbaink

haha..i once loved to watch their games..
especially when viduka team-up with smith..


well, if suddenly RA tired toying with us..maybe we'll have the same fate as Leeds

I was a leeds fan. Then i followed Arse when the mass exodus happened..

Nevertheless , it's good to see him doing well.. 7 Winning streak and if not for the point deduction, would have been top of the table..

can't wait for them to promote up....sighz

wow..this is cool...thought leeds had lost all its fans in malaysia..

the real story of leeds united's collapse can be found from this

Debt free? Thats good news indeed. Now they can concentrate on the footballing side of things.

And I thought you should stand by your team

Just because of mass exodus and you change to Arsenal

The one game against Leeds I will always remember ended up with the following scoreline:

Mark Viduka 4 - Liverpool 0. I was watching the game in Kota Kinabalu at the time and it was a painful defeat.

I remembered a little kid balling his eyes out when Leeds were relegated. I would have liked to see his face when they went to Division 1

It was 4 - 3 mate, with Viduka scoring all four goals and declared, that wasn't my best game.

To be honest, many of us felt sorry for leedds, but how many of you know what really went wrong? Leeds' story was an eppitomy of what was wrong in football these days, they borrowed heavily against future success. Meaning taking unsecure loans with very high interest in anticipation of CL qualification and progress. When they had a few bust ups, started off with the Lee Bowyer & Jonathan Woodgate racism trial. Followed by a few other bust ups between players, as well as David O'Leary selling his story of the handling of the Racism saga to the newspaper, everything suddenly fell apart. It was a sad sight nevertheless. How a CL semifinalist went down on such a downward spiral fall that it would scared the best stuntman.

I used to enjoy the football they play, they have this no fear attitude about it, how they would just go and have a go at the opposition, without fearing who they are and while giving respect to the past achievements of the opposition, their approach to the game was akin to "Alright, you lots did well in the past and had a great team, we don't care, if you want our respect, you must come here and play us off the park and perhaps we will acknowledge it at the end of the game." It was great to watch.

Chelsea doing a Leeds? At the moment, I don't see that happening. At the moment, I thinkChelsea is the only debt free club with deep enough pockets from the owner. If he decided to sell, they are still pretty good for a few season yet before anything llike that can happen. Peter Kenyon, while hated pretty much everywhere he goes, is a very good business manager. He'd find ways to keep the club afloat, only thing would be the club have to sell off a few players who are choking the wage bill, that's all.

Current teams that is dangered to "emulate" Leeds in my honest opinion would be Spurs and Man U. This is without looking at their financial reports. Simply because both teams spent heavily and if there's no success on the field, or heaven forbids, crash out of Europe early, the board will have to undertake higher interest payments and that would put more strains on the financial of the club. Especially Man U who spent heavily in the summer while having a few hundred millions pound's debt deom Glazer buying the club. Howevcer, having said all that, I don't think the Leeds' situation will happen again, simply because after seeing what heppened to them, many of the chairman wised up and did not take as much risk. Let's hope for football sake it did not.

Woo, Leeds..hope to see you guys back in the Championship.. Relegation is painful, especially for the fans, but all you guys who stayed Leeds after the 2nd relegation, U guys are trully fans!

if u are a fan of a club u should stay by its side forever... dat's wat i believe in... leeds should be glad dat not all their fans in malaysia hav gone...

seriously the only player on the field i know is Tore André Flo (from chelsea)

other then that , ken bates (from chelsea)
gus poyet and dennis wise ( also from chelsea )


looks like all formal chelsea is here....

I think a thread like this is long overdue. Too often, I've heard fans go silent after their teams have been relegated. I think it's all the more reason to start a thread like this so fellow supporters don't lose interest and they also get to receive updates on their teams progress. It's important the keep the following alive. It's weird when out of the blue, a team gets promoted and the fans magically appear out of nowhere.

Yea, R-e-s-t-e-c-p to the lads who stick with their fav club and not crop up out of nowhere when they resurface to the top flight. Fans and non-fans would be able to be updated with recent team news and how the club's progressing. I'm sure one day Elland Road will be back on the map
