Not quite sure what you may be alluding to with "very much the opposite" but I don't think you mean an announcement about NOT signing a marquee player?

However (and quite probably unrelated to your post) I'm beginning to think that a period of administration may not be a bad thing. It would certainly sort out any disparate owbership issues and if things go well the worst that happens is we start next season on minus 4 points (probably more like minus 8 because it is Bradford after all).

Wakefield don't seem to have been harmed by it and are in a much stronger position because of it.

according to posters on leeds board they are only offering their academy players match payments now, part of the fallout of which resulted in us getting marcus elliot and several other u16s leaving. you'd have thought they'd have seen what effect sending our academy part time had os us and thought better of it.

He wasnt though was he, he'd just signed a new improved contract before Harris was signed. His contract didnt end until the end of 2005.

Leeds academy has been part time for last 3 years this is different to part time.

Davies also had a lot to do with the Harris signing from his time at Reebok.

forget players whinging or not- if we dont have the money why not give somone a chance rather than a. Sign a player plunging us in more debt regardless of name or ability. B. Risk losing academy players because they have to go part time due to cuts and potential financial problems?

Nobby must have had a clue of the financial situation and when he was looking at options pryce's and paul or pratt, etc he was not exactly making use of what he had was he? Cameron phelps most usefull import into the english game-:lets think of today somone else will fix tommorow.maybe i am just bitter but i do feel the decisions he made were short sighted.
Although cutting academy would not have been my initial choice so long as it was potentially short term i suppose we have survived.id have rather we cut other things lbut i guess it was not simple.
