A stronger squad and a style more suited to this league whether our fans like it or not

Stronger by far, Phillips didn't play much and didn't look the same player in the new system, and as good a Raffa is.. The strength in depth is far more important than one player in the long run.

Not “two of” but “the two” best players - can’t be good.

Stronger for sure.

Stronger

to think that people want the man who brought our club out of the championship and brought bielsa to us gone is absolutely absurd to me. Hes given more than we have gotten from a lot of owners over the last 20 years. So i for one am grateful hes our owner

Spot on. Just remember the days when that nutter Cellino was in charge , or that absolute ar*ewipe Bates who always put themselves before the best interests of the club. Radz, his wife and their whole behind the scenes team have never let Leeds down yet. I hope we get a statue of him put up at some point he deserves it.

He’s done a lot of good but he’s also made a lot of mistakes too. The badge drama for example where he and the club selected a hideous new badge despite amazing fan made designs all over social media. Although granted he did have wisdom to drop the design once fans started complaining and kicking off. Sometimes I think he is a little too invested in the Leicester City model. Of course we’ll never keep every great player but I don’t think it’s been wise to sell two of our best in one window as it’s always hit or miss whether new bodies will blood in to the PL well even if the transfer dealings themselves have admittedly been pretty good overall. And sacking Bielsa was somewhat unfair as well I think Bielsa deserved to see the season out. We wasn’t even in the relegation zone at that point and he was sacked during a tough period when Leeds faced some of the biggest clubs in the league. Jesse did a good job following but I think it’s quite likely Leeds under Marcelo would also have escaped relegation. I mean I still love radz like but he’s not infallible by any measure either and he ultimately needs the fans to check his power and ensure he’s continues to act in the clubs best interests.

We do, what are you talking about??

I would have Sold Phillips, he was nowhere the best player at leeds last season, he was injured most of the end, Harrison, with Aaronson , will work well, Raphinha yes it will be a loss, Bielsa found him like he found Messi!!!

Absolutely this, his hearts always been in the right place. I think overall what he's creating is Brilliant. a sustainable premier league club.

I agree, he has done a lot for lufc. Thanks Radz

100 pct agree

Thanks to pat I managed to sit two seats away from this guy ,he was absolutely crazy he lived every kick of the match when we scored he ran around like a lunatic almost knocked Eddie gray over and picked up one of Philips relatives oh he loves this club

Completely agree mate

I know people are frustrated with him at times, but how anyone can have hate for what he's done is beyond me. He's the best owner we've had in eons. Even if he does eventually sell the club to the 49ers I'll be thankful for him even being here in the first place. It brought us out of the absolute doldrums.

I agree, he seems to have the best intentions for Leeds.

The simple fact that you guys still want owners is the problem.. Bunch of backwards caveman! Barca beat everyone in the transfer market and now the British media narratives British media ruin the world. Russian will run out of bombs Puiin is sick blah blah blah And you idiots still fall for the same nonsense. Lies lies and more lies

As an LUFC supporter of 59 years I am happy he us up there with the best owners we have ever had MOT

You guys have a lot of balls telling us how to run a club after just about not being relegated last year XD Fucking nobodies 🤣🤣🤣

Kinears interview on the square ball podcast, shed some more light on the structure of the deals. He said that both city and Barcelona deals are upfront payments not installments, which basically means the value is higher as if the payments are spread out, the inflation means they get less value and can reinvest in the squad, which in turn creates means better players whose value increase quicker. It's a smart strategy especially when the players are in the last two years of their contracts. I'm glad though that radz is smart enough to know we need this strategy now but not for forever.

That said yes he as done good but mad a big big mistake last season and we was very lucky to get away with staying up so as long as he learns from this then that's all we can ask for and invest at the rights times of season

This is another British media propaganda against Barca. The producers of this program are lazy and know the agenda. Lol let me guess Putin is sick and Russia is running out of bombs? Lol production team are weak and lazy.

Bielsa wanted players. Radz wouldn't buy them.

That small part of our fanbase is pure cancer. They only have a voice these days because of Twitter, but you never hear or see them at Elland Road.

The only thing that makes me unhappy , is the fact that Barcelona was going behind Leeds back , and making negotiations with Raphinia himself . Disgusting behaviour from both Barca and Raphinia .

We were never going to get him should of moved on from him instead of wasting weeks

aye best owner since Leslie Silver - i wish we'd buy a left back though!

I love Radz but I'd take that comment with a pinch of salt. I wonder if he feels any shame over Jean-Kevin Augustin

@@philip3060 Leeds had an agreement that passed with Covid on buying him though. Is it a technicality? Yes..but in business you take advantage of the contracts you sign.

Lol, British fans still won’t accept that Barca is bigger than any EPL team… lol Players want Barca!

@@realtalkbarca6764 hopefully they’ll cough up the money to pay the clubs they’ve bought from. If not they won’t be anywhere near the big clubs in the premier league.

@@realtalkbarca6764 Barca & La Liga are finished. PL draws 2 times the TV money as La liga & its gonna grow bigger. No one is gonna care about your dusted league & club in a decade.

the Amazon prime video series on Leeds United is really good and worth a watch-- shows a lot about the inner workings of the club

What has he won? Why is losing good leadership? Play football to win trophies 🏆

@@realtalkbarca6764 Barca should be relegated with their debt. They are allowed to sign players yet can’t pay the players they currently have.

@@realtalkbarca6764 he got us back in the prem, and kept us in it(lucky some would say) ,,,, just go back to your corrupt club,,,, imagine having less money than a club that just stayed in the Premier league on the final day of the season 🤣

@@realtalkbarca6764 got Leeds back into the Prem after 15 years. Massive achievement considering how poor we were before Radz/Bielsa.

I don’t think we need a striker definitely need a left back

And yet barely any net spend. Most transfers are covered by sales not investment. The LB situation and not getting a striker especially is negligent but the other signings I have to say do look good value for money. Aaronson and Roca will change things massively in the middle of the park.

well if we went down i don't think we'd be able to fill out, so i think he wants to become established in prem first

@@robnoble8897 I think we would be able to, the dropped attendances were after a long period of back to back to back negative situations. I don’t blame some fans for saying “fuck this”. But also, if we are to ensure the next generation of Leeds fans for many years to come, they need to be able to get into Elland Road…as it stands ST holders are of the older generations, and there’s very few numbers of opportunities for the young fans to come to ER each week, we need to get them locked into Leeds asap before they become disillusioned and fuck off to the SUPER teams.

@@robnoble8897 agreed keep investing in the team get higher up league finishes then expand you don’t expand a ground when you have a possibility of going down. Also think your right the ground wouldn’t be selling out if we went back down. Invest more in players so far we’ve had a net spend of practically 0 what happened to going big on transfers in the 3rd season granted we’ve brought some in but money spent has been recouped by selling our 2 best players… get hand in pocket radz and bring in another 3-4

What Razz meant wasn't quite clear. He seemed to concede that more seats would help with top line revenues for the club, without committing himself as you noted. There seems to be an appreciation that additional ticket price rises (there's a limit) is not the way forward ... which is good news. MOT

@@MartinCanada The Square Ball are interviewing Angus Kinnear this morning I believe. I’m hoping he’ll offer more insight into the specifics of the expansion.

We’ve already got cooper ayling dallas forshaw firpo injured so that’s 5 already granted 2 were from last season but we are already totting up injuries squad is still light in terms of good depth i don’t class poor players as depth example forshaw klich poor players there are back ups for roca and adams massivley worrying
