  • Becchio

    Luciano Becchio, Leeds talismanic striker, wants to leave the club. This is a PR nightmare for Leeds’ management. So what does it do? Initially, it releases the same old tried and tested guff: “the player has had his head turned”, “the player/his agent is greedy”, the player is the reason Leeds loses games”… None of this works as the fans have more faith in Becchio than the club’s management. So the club digs deeper into its dirty tricks box and comes up with a blinder – “Becchio wants to go an un-named Turkish club”. Could that club be Galatasaray? Suddenly, Becchio’s name is mud – Job done!
    None of this answers the question: why does Becchio want to leave?

      Thanks for everything Becchio, sad to see ANOTHER one of our best players leave and go to Norwich.
      We have got a very good replacement though in Steve Morrison who i remember used to run us ragged when he was at Millwall. Must say though that this transfer has Bates grubby paws all over it with the usual "undisclosed fee" being part of the deal.
      As i post this there is roughly 10 hours left to the end of the window and if this is the only transfer then we will all know that nothing has changed down at ER apart from 2 muppets fronting up the club instead of old grey beard. Time will tell and the clock is ticking!

      Dare I say only 15% tax on income in a football mad nation The emphasis on "mad" .A great incentive to move Andy ask Drogba. I believe the lad is simply pissed off with whats going at the club as we all are. MOT without the Bahrain Begging Bowl being raided, rather topped up with Becchios departure..
      Bankers are bankers or something like that.

      Confirmed that Beccs has been at Carrow Road tonight. We are still the same as far as bringing players in. Sell the good ones and bring in dross.
      Been to see Halifax tonight in a cup match against Dartford. Great game 1-1 which Halifax were unlucky not to win as they were playing 11 + the ref + one of the linesmen and were reduced to 10 men after 10 minutes having a player shown a straight red for what was no worse than a Yellow if that. £10 to go in to the main stand and a great performance. Having said that the only other game I saw of theirs this season was at Gainsborough and they were dire.
      at least I had a good rant at the ref which made me feel better.

      My word Bryan you are a glutten for punishment. Once went to Thrum Hall yonks ago took me hours to get home. Having said that I might try Guiseley Town until I can afford to take out a loan for another season ticket. The 33A bus stops outside the ground, hence no parking fees. Get to use my free "old gits"bus pass, cant be bad.
