Solid continues to be the word used to describe our performances and our form. We're nothing spectacular by any means, although we are now in 4th place. The task now will be to cement our position in the top six and try not to fall from it.

You are gunning for those play offs atm!

CORPORATE SHAKEUP AT ELLAND ROAD

1st November 2015



Former Barcelona midfielder Roberto Dinamite has completed a takeover of Leeds United, acquiring both the 75% stake held by Massimo Cellino's Eleonora Sport and the 25% share held by Bahraini investment bank GFH Capital.

The value of the takeover is thought to be in the region of £80m, with a reported £3.5m being pumped into the club to finance a refurbishment at Thorp Arch, the club's training ground. The deal was put on hold whilst Dinamite sought permission from the site owner for the renovation, and was finalised this morning.

Head Coach Josh Townend will also be given the more traditional Manager role, giving him back control of transfers and contract negotiations. Whilst this may be welcome news for the 40-year-old, whose over-achieving side sit 4th in the Championship table after 14 games, slightly concerning will be the speculation over his future, with sources close to Roberto Dinamite saying he is looking to hire his own manager.

However, the same sources say that Dinamite also admits he's been impressed by the start the team have made to the season, and would be willing to give Townend a few more games to demonstrate his managerial credentials whilst he makes a decision.

Townend is thought to have the backing of the Leeds fans. Gary Cooper, chairman of the Leeds United Supporters Trust (LUST) stated earlier this week "There is a consensus amongst our members that Josh Townend has done a fantastic job at the club so far. It's the first time in nearly five years that we're beginning to dream of a top six finish and we feel that keeping him in charge is imperative in order for the club to continue to move forward"

Oh thank the lord, the devil has been slain! Now you should be able to really push on as a club!

Massimo has finally decided that it is indeed time to go

TOWNEND'S HERE TO STAY

12th November 2015


Following a takeover finalised 11 days ago, there has been much speculation over whether or not Leeds United manager Josh Townend will remain in charge.

The 40-year-old's job was thrown into question when former Barcelona midfielder Roberto Dinamite took charge of the club last Sunday, with rumours swirling that the Brazilian may be looking to replace Townend with former RKC Waalwijk manager Zeljko Petrovic.

Those rumours have now been dispelled, following a statement from the club announcing that Townend has been told he will remain in his post, and that he has agreed to a new contract. The statement read:

Leeds United are proud to announce that current manager Josh Townend will remain in his post, contrary to recent speculation in the media. The board have been impressed by the start the team has made to the season, and made the decision on the recommendation of an overwhelming majority at the club.

Even more exciting for the club is that Josh has agreed to an extension on his contract- previously set to expire at the end of the season- to keep him at the club until June 2018. The deal will see him receive a raise and the club commit to the youth development philosophy that Josh had persuaded the previous regime to adopt.

The board of directors would like to place on record their gratitude for Josh Townend's patience and grace whilst a decision was being made on his future, and would like to wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours with the club

Great news that youre staying mate, now take this club back to where it belongs!

CLUB STATEMENT: ELLAND ROAD

18th November 2015

http://www.insidermedia.com/uploads/news/elland_road_6.jpg

Club chairman Roberto Dinamite is proud to announce that negotiations are set to begin over the purchase of Elland Road.

The site is currently under lease to Leeds United, after the club sold it to Teak Trading Corporation in 2004. The sale was made in order to help the club pay off millions of pounds of debt amidst a financial storm which was followed by relegation from the Premier League.

The negotiations will begin next Monday, with a view to completing the purchase by the end of the season. The site will be bought in the hope that the club can redevelop the ground. Of the plans, Roberto Dinamite said:

"There are no official plans in place to redevelop Elland Road yet. The club are currently looking at the West Stand and the Don Revie Stand as potential targets for redevelopment, although nothing is set in stone as yet.

The board also realises that it has a responsibility to ensure the ground is redeveloped with the fans in mind, and will not go through with any building plans until they have the supporters' full approval, following consultation with various fan groups"

Even though we haven't played particularly well, we've still picked up 7 points from 4 games and have even moved up 3rd. The next task will be to catch the runaway duo of Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday, and December should give us plenty of fixtures in which to do so.

Great to see you battling it out near the top of the table! Also big news in buying back Elland Road which could save you millions in the future

Very good form man and hopefully you can maintain it and keep promotion on the cards!

Thanks for the encouraging feedback guys!

We recovered well from our wobble before Christmas with back-to-back wins in the mid-Christmas matches. We've recovered the four point gap that separates us from Nottm Forest, and the aim for January will be to kick on and try to break into the top two. It wouldn't hurt to catch up with Sheffield Wednesday (who we play in January) either, as they seem to be running away with the title at the moment.

You're doing so well man, you keep this kind of form up and avoid a complete loss of form, the play offs are there for the taking..maybe even automatic promotion!

Cheers mate, playoffs is the dream but if we can get automatic promotion you won't find me complaining!
