Leeds draw Everton in Capital One Cup

Leeds have drawn Everton at home in the third round of the Capital Cup.

It's a good but tough draw for Leeds, but they will relish the chance to play Premier League opponents.

Everton have made a good start to the season and are full of confidence. It should be an excellent game.

Peterborough vs Leeds

After being outplayed by Blackpool in midweek Leeds beat Peterborough 2 -1 away, thanks to 2 goals by Bechio. Leeds had to hang on at the end as they came under pressure but some defensive substitutions steadied the Leeds defence and they ran out deserved winners in the end. Blackpool had a 6 nil victory at home to Ipswich and they are looking very strong at the moment so I suppose to only lose 2 -1 at Blackpool was  descent result on paper!

I'm worried though about Leeds scoring goals and I think we need another striker as a matter of priority, although where the money will come from is anyone's guess.

As the take-over of Leeds becomes a farce it's looking less likely that Leeds will have new investment before the transfer window ends.

Season kicks off with a win !

Excellent win for Leeds today at Elland Road against Wolves. I watched the game on Sky TV and new look Leeds looked pretty good especially in defence where Jason Pearce looks like he is going to be a great player for Leeds.

Ross McCormack showed why Warnock was pleased to sign him for another 3 years as he showed some skilful touches and ball controll. He took a superb pass from goalkeeper Kenny and crossed for Bechio to score a diving header.

Leeds deserved the victory against a experienced Wolves team.

Blackpool on Tuesday !

Is this Ken's last visit to Elland Road?

Ken Bates, the chairman of Leeds United flew in from Monaco on Wednesday and will be at the Leeds vs Wolves game at Elland Road today.

Reports say that the sale of Leeds United is nearly finalised, although that could mean that either the sale will go through or that negotiations will break down.

Has Ken Bates been in the UK to sign off the takeover deal? Only he knows and he is not letting on.

Ken Bates saved Leeds when they had debts of £100 million and for that we should thank him sincerely, however, the club needs new investment to start an exiting new era in the history of Leeds United. Let's hope Ken Bates does the right thing for the sake of Leeds United.

I hope the crowd at Elland Road don't chant nasty things at Ken. He deserves better than that. Leeds fans should just let things take their natural course as they won't change things !

No takeover today !

Another day another week and still no news about a takeover of Leeds United. If it's going to happen it's got to be before the end of the football transfer window in early September.

Am looking forward to the start of the new football season. Leeds vs Wolves ...bring it on !!

Leeds United takeover

Radio Leeds reported two days ago that the consortium hoping to buy Leeds United wanted to conclude the purchase before the end of this week.

If that's the case we might hear something tomorrow (friday) !!

Ken Bates helped save Leeds a few years ago but at 80 years of age it's time to move on Ken and enjoy a peaceful retirement !
