Reply | Leeds owe ÂŁ190m in transfer fee instalments

Not as bad as it looks. Have players out on loan who aren't coming back Harrison-20m Wober 10m Rocco 10m Aaronsen -we will only get 10m for; Kristensen & LLorente will only bring in around 8m. We also sold Adams and Sinistera for 40m this season so they will be in next years accounts.
We can also sell any of Sommerville, Gnonto or Gray for 25m+
When you finally get up you will have the same issue in that you will have to replace nearly your entire team if you want to stay up for more than 1 season. I think promoted clubs should be able to spend whatever they want without penalty from the EPL. |

Before Watford he hadn't scored for around 8 games but he has been carrying an ankle injury and he gets kicked to bits in the Championship. He didn't go away international week and the rest has done him good. We are a much better side when Gruev is in midfield. He is our modern-day Batty - protects the back 4 and wins every loose ball in midfield and hardly ever gives a ball away. Gnonto was also in good form so hopefully he will only miss 2 more matches. |

I hate VAR with a passion. Sure it can stop a bad mistake but who really cares if a goal is scored by a player whose shirt thickness is offside? VAR is a passion killer and stops the exhilarating feeling of when a goal is scored. The other issue with PL is that you eventually have to pay PL wages. If there wasn't parachute payments clubs would go bust. However, I think there should be changes. If you sell a player on a PL wage when you get relegated, you should lose that proportion of your parachute payment. Both Soton and Leicester sold players for really big money and reinvested that with quality signings, too good for the Championship. We had a different issue. All the players who were relegated had relegation clauses that allowed them to go on loan if the wages were fully met. That gave us a problem as we were losing 10 or more players with very little money coming in. We managed to get a transfer fee for Adams that helped us buy Ampadu, Gruev & Kamara for roughly Adam's fee. |

Hull played very well but would be a much better side with a good centre forward. Their away form is better than their home form. I still think Leicester have the easiest run-in. |

You say undeserved but it took 17 years for us to get back to the Premier League. What Bielsa did with an average under-performing squad was a miracle. At least we stayed within FFP unlike 3 of the 4 teams who finished above us last season but took 11 points off us. If Leicester go up they get their punishment next season. How is that fair? Their wage bill is 60m compared to our 40m. If LCFC were dealt with this season they would have had to sell two big players in January. |

They had opportunities to go 3-1 up but continually made poor choices. Even at the end the only threat was going to come from Leif (I know the right back had been sent off ) and they had to make sure that supply wasn't available. |

Be interesting if Sky offered EFL subscription rather than a subscription that includes everything. If you either give each side more TV money and reduce reliance on parachute payments it would be an even better league. |

Not having Gnonto affects our subs - usually Dan James either comes on for him or gets replaced by him. Both are really big impact players for us. At least we have a few days rest now. We had 15 players away on international duty, 3 came back with injuries, and Firpo didn't come back until Thursday night with no sleep from Wed morning. That's why we didn't play well at Watford although could easily have nicked all 3 points if it wasn't for Bachman at the end, or the ref not playing advantage right at the end when we were in on goal. |

Because Leeds fans sing 'Sky TV is f****** S***' the home microphones are always muted when Leeds are at home. The only microphones left on are the ones next to the away fans. Ask anyone who goes to ER, as a fan you hardly ever hear the away fans in the stadium. |

You have just ensured that they are in the playoffs. Why would you play a strong team in the last match risking injury or suspensions for the play off games? |

The ref was perfectly fair tonight. Gave corners when he could have given penalties. We are lucky we have Summerville - two involvements leads to 2 of our goals - and he cost us 1.5m a couple of seasons ago. However, we are missing some of the players who got injured on international duty such as Gnonto, Gruev (who we are missing the most in midfield) and Connor Roberts who gets forward from right back when the game becomes stretched. |

PL is well overrated. The big clubs have created a cartel. They have the best players, pay the most in wages, have the biggest squads. Get all the decisions from their referee mates and then when you do actually score, VAR will probably rule it out for something that happened 20 seconds earlier. |
