Looks like Red Bull have bought a stake in Leeds.

I feel like crying. Not good tears.

Ha.

Maybe we can get Oscar Gloukh for a season.

Seriously though, 49'ers group are here to make money, and it appears Red Bull will be the exit strategy. I think this will be the end of the journey for me, my club will no longer exist. It's probably apparent from my general gloom the past couple of years on here, but I find the business of modern football repulsive, and I really dislike what's happening in stadiums with tourism pushing out genuine 'legacy' fans that have been attending for anywhere between 30-70 years. Supporting Leeds was a little bit of a shield from it.

I'm already involved with lower league football, but I think that's where my future would have to lie full time if we become RB Leeds, or Leeds United RB.

I wish I could burn it all in a fire.

Getting your club stolen is an effin crime

Well, just about every club in England has been "stolen"...how many EPL or Championship clubs are still majority owned by Brits (let alone local Brits)?

England has done a really poor job of creating billionaires who can afford to buy their local clubs....

YayNJ · 05-31-2024, 11:06 AM

Billionaires are the problem, doesn't matter where they are from.

Mentioned it a few times the last couple of weeks, but Bellingham had developed a really rancid attitude. Strolling around like Billy big balls this evening with zero end product. His work rate has dropped off a cliff.

It’s gone to his head.

Ianhatcher · 06-01-2024, 04:29 PM

What a stressful game. Hats off to Dortmund as they really took it to them in the first half but in the end Real Madrid does it again.

15th title and 9 straight final victories. Unbelievable what this team has done!

Hala Madrid!

YayNJ · 06-01-2024, 06:35 PM

Vini shouldn't have even been on the pitch top seal the game. That dive was scandalous, should have been a second yellow. How the linesman didn't get involved in that is beyond me. Schlotterbeck who was outstanding btw, got punished for it!

Gin&Juice · 06-02-2024, 07:19 AM

Maybe, but I thought the first yellow was a bit harsh. He really didn’t make any contact with Kobel who just tumbled over him.

Schlotterbeck was good, though, and definitely didn’t deserve a yellow.

Difference in the game was Kroos vs Brandt on corners. Brandt’s service on corner after corner was terrible.

Ianhatcher · 06-02-2024, 09:42 AM

Here we go!

It's official. Mbappe to Real Madrid! It's about time.

Really curious what this means for Vinicius Jr., since they play roughly the same position.

YayNJ · 06-02-2024, 10:59 AM

I imagine Madrid play Mbappe centrally. Vini on the left, Rodrgyo on the right, and Endrick the back-up.

Bellingham behind with Guler as relief.

yiguiri2002 · 06-02-2024, 11:48 AM

Maybe it's just me but I think the first yellow was fair and he shouldn't have gotten a yellow for the dive since there was previous contact. But they shouldn't have booked anyone on that play.

I think yesterday was just a formality, Real is so much better than Dortmund. They played awful and still won, that's how much of a difference there was between teams. Terzic did a better job than Pep and Tuchel though.

I think so too but it's funny since one of his biggest complaints with PSG was that he didn't want to play as a 9.

I think they should loan Endrick and keep Joselu, how confident can they be that their only 9 is 17?

Madrid have signed Mbappe to be their 9.

Manchester City are suing the Premier League, because the Premier League have the audacity to investigate their rampant rule bending and financial manipulation.

I genuinely feel sorry for any of you that support any of these verminous 'modern' clubs.

Chelsea, Barcelona, Madrid, Man Utd, Man City, Newcastle. Juventus... football would be better off without them. Perhaps their own little echo chamber league was for the best afterall, or perhaps they can just move to Saudi, they have already made it clear that the 'legacy' fan means nothing to them, and all they want is tourists and pay-per-view couch potatoes.

YayNJ · 06-05-2024, 04:29 AM

Man City now using blackmail. Threatening kids and womens football.

In their claim, #ManCity argue current Premier League rules will limit ability to buy the best players and force them to charge fans more for tickets.
@ManCity
say they may also have to cut spending on youth development, women’s football, community programmes.

Scum. Hopefully the Premier League grow some balls and strip them of their trophies, and relegate them. It's the only thing that will work.

When they show you who they are, believe them. The richest people on earth saying they can't afford kids football. It's also a straight up lie, as youth and women's football are deductible from PSR. Utter lying scum.

Also should force a sale of the club and set an example there. Was never a good idea to have state owned clubs.

And now we have two of them!

Was never a good idea to have clubs owned by entities with no connections to the local community.

The problem, though, is that there simply aren't enough Brits who are rich enough to own football clubs any more

The German and Spanish models....where clubs are owned by their members, are much better for football (and the clubs' supporters).

Eh?

There's enough British Billionaires for them to each own a club from the top five divisions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Inter Miami got decimated last night, 6-1

... Sergio Busquets playing as a CB?!

Cincinnati top of the league and with a game in hand.
