Leeds United A.F.C.

Developments at Leeds United football club always make me wonder. Being a life long Leeds fan, in my opinion they seem to mis-manage running their business and seem to make decisions that are frankly odd, bad or just make no sense whats so ever. I mean this in the nicest possible way, I just often end up smiling or scratching my head at what happens there and it's nothing new either. Take today for example, having sacked manager Gary McAllister after just less than a year in charge in which time he took them to the Division 1 playoff final, they appoint Simon Grayson. McAllister was a very popular player when he played for them in the early ...  Read the complete review

I must say I was suprised this morning when i heard that Leeds United had parted company with manager and former player Gary McAllister. He took over in January of last year after Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet left for Newcastle and Tottenham respectively and guided the club to the play-off finals. This season hasn't gone that great for Leeds, currently in ninth and with five successive defeats the owners decided to get rid of McAllister; I feel he should have been given more time. McAllister was one of Leeds best ever players and to sack him as manager when he had a win percentage of fifty percent is extremely harsh. I just hope it doesn't dent his legendary status at ...  Read the complete review

Leeds United based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Our home is Elland Road were we have played since the club was formed back in 1919. HISTORY Under the management of Don Revie in the 60's and 70's, Leeds won numerous domestic and european throphies in arguably the best era Leeds United fans have ever witnessed. Don Revie was appointed in March 1961 and only a win on the last day of the season saved Leeds from the drop. Revie turned the team around, winning promotion to the First Division in 1963-64. Between 1965 and 1974, Revie's Leeds never finished outside of the top four, won two League Championships (1968-69 and 1973-74), the FA Cup (1972), the League Cup ...  Read the complete review

Leeds United football club according to my housemate are a team on the up after the struggle that they have faced in recent years not only with their relegations, but with bad owners and finance. This would appear to be true as despite having fifteen points deducted at the start of the season, as i am writing this they are currently in third position in coca cola league one. What strikes me most about Leeds as an outsider is the loyalty of their fans, who have stuck by them despite there poor performances in recent years. They regularly get over attendances of over 20,000, which is way above the league one average. This fan base will be valuable if they get ...  Read the complete review

It's a sad day when one of the biggest clubs in England is all but relegated to the third tier of football for the first time in their history. It is even worse that a certain section of so-called Leeds fans felt that they should show their despair and anger at the club by invading the pitch, a minute from time. The glory days of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions league are over. I remember one of the pundits on Sky Sports stating that "it's only a matter of time before Leeds United win the Premiership". This of course never did happen and to be honest it is hard to see that it will ever happen. So what went wrong, it's basic economics that ...  Read the complete review
