Team History Tuesday: Marching on Together
By: Matthew |Gary McAllister’s appointment as Leeds manager has me in a strange mood. If Leeds were England, I’d feel patriotic. They’re not, though, so here’s a (late) Team History Tuesday on one of the greatest terrace anthems in football: Marching on Together.
Few football teams can boast an original song as their anthem; fewer still can boast [...]
Leeds Offside’s Lunchtime Links: January 30th
By: Matthew |Gary McAllister is the new manager of Leeds United! Fans the world over rejoice. I sit back with an apprehensive expression on my face and think, “but he’s never actually accomplished anything as a manager, has he?” Regardless, he’s contracted until the end of this season, with a remit to win promotion to the Championship. [...]
Gary McAllister: in talks with Leeds this afternoon
By: Matthew |Well, that was quick. Ken Bates has already started talks with Gary McAllister, literally 20 minutes after Dennis Wise left for Newcastle.
Updates as they happen.
Wise goes to Newcastle; is Steve McClaren the next Leeds manager?
By: Matthew |So, he’s off. After 15 months as manager of Leeds United, Dennis Wise has become Director of Football at Newcastle United.
It’s hard to know how to react to this news. Dennis Wise was never popular with the hardcore of Leeds fans, thanks to his time spent as a player at Chelsea. Chelsea, of course, is [...]
Holy S***: Dennis Wise leaving Leeds for Newcastle?
By: Matthew |Leeds manager Dennis Wise has been offered the position of Director of Football at Premier-league outfit Newcastle United by Kevin Keegan, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post. Wise will definitely be in charge of Leeds for tomorrow’s match against Southend United, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll be there any longer than that.
It speaks volumes [...]
Former Leeds player in African Nations sex scandal! (Allegedly…)
By: Matthew |The scene: African Cup of Nations, 2006. A retired Ghanaian footballer, who “fans of English football will remember him from his highly successful period with Leeds United“, has joined the Zimbabwean national team for a drink. (The following is alleged by Peter Ndlovu on footyhighlights.com. Take it with a grain of salt.) Being a sensitive [...]
Leeds sue the Football League: More info
By: Matthew |More details about the Leeds Lawsuit were in the Post today.
The details themselves aren’t that interesting to non-Leeds fans: Leeds allege that they were compelled to enter a CVA that knew would invoke a legal challenge from HM Customs and Revenue, in order to retain their “Golden Share” in the Football League. Doing so, however, [...]
Molegate Update: Shaun Derry innocent. No new suspects.
By: Matthew |Molegate - the biggest scandal to hit Leeds United since … come to think of it, Molegate pales in comparison to about 17 recent Leeds United-related scandals, despite being the only one with -gate attached to it. This is probably because Peter Ridsdale’s Aquarium-gate doesn’t have the same ring to it. I digress.
Leeds played Crystal [...]
Maybe he’s just unlucky: Ridsdale’s Cardiff City on brink of bankruptcy
By: Matthew |And Ridsdale’s in the brown stuff again. I think the headline says it all.
Team-History Tuesday: Tony Yeboah
By: Matthew |For the next few weeks, I’m going to take a look at some of the best players ever to don the legendary white jersey. Don’t expect an objective best-ever list - my selection will be determined by YouTube-availability and the fact that I don’t really want to write about players I don’t like - but [...]
