McDermott insists McCormack is staying at Leeds

Interesting, Despite McCormack's tweet, Nice Guy Brian insists the Scot is going nowhere. Two bids have been rejected and, according to the bald headed management maestro, "Ross is staying here. He wants to stay and we want to keep him."

So that's that then. Isn't it?

Perhaps. But why isn't McCormack allowed to say he wants to stay at Leeds himself? And what will it say, after such a categorical denial from McDermott, if the Scottish international does now leave?

My money is still on McCormack departing as the Board put pressure on McDermott to reduce the wage bill. As the changes for the Chesterfield game proved, Leeds have an unnecessarily large squad, and as the struggle to win the game proved, quite a few of them aren't worthy of the wages that Warnock negotiated for them as he mopped up any old lags on offer.

Now McCormack doesn't fall into that category, but with Warnock out of work, who is going to take his carthorses off Leeds' hands? And if you need to raise cash, you sell assets that somebody is willing to buy.

Keeping in mind GFH's pledge to "extract value from existing assets", perhaps the Board are simply holding out for a higher price.

  3. Oh God, give it a rest!! You're like a 10 year old.

    What's with your compulsion in trying to wind up Leeds supporters?
    It's not funny, clever or accurate.

    Childish, childish, purile, pathetic

  4. We dont have a large squad at all, its just unbalanced. I remember looking at the programe before the blackburn last year and they easily had 8 to 10 more in the squad. They have now signed another eleven this window!! Not sure how many they let go though. Still gotta be a massive squad though. Then look at reading, qpr, wigan, leicester, forrest, watford, bolton. Id say our squad is moderate enough

  5. The second 'article' of the day on Ross from the same guy/poster. Not sure what this poster's agenda is .... but I could guess that the glass is certainly not half-full in his seemingly dreary, depressing life.

  6. You've got to love this prick, who loves to stir us fans up. Reads to many things about Leeds and takes it as gospel.If McDermott was to get rid of McCormack it would be for the good of the club (financially) and the player (so going to Middlesbro would be a step down).As for McCormack not being able to say he wants to stay at Leeds,he's already said it a few times. As for tonights match,Mac made 7 changes,not a fan of Michael Brown but at 36,scored a goal and best midfielder on the night.So with what Warnock left us,hopefully Mac can get the best out of the crap he left.As for your team,you are only there on default you should have been relegated in 2007. Ineligible player,fined a miserly £5m and at last you've paid of the rest of Sheff Utd £18.1million compensation.So before you have ago about other clubs,look at your cheating bubbles.

  7. Here's a headline your bound to notice as you troll around 'news Now' looking for Leeds related items.....

    'A judge has declined to annul a mentally disabled British Sikh's arranged marriage but warned his wife against sex'...

    Come on, get your thinking cap on...their's bound to be a connection to McCormack getting transferred with that headline....

  9. I never get tired of posting this:

    Institute of Economics and Peace five least peaceful local authorities:

    1. Lewisham, London
    2. Lambeth, London
    3. Hackney, London
    4. Newham, London

    2. Millwall
    3. Chelsea

    Interesting picture building here isn't there?

    Keep smiling as you try to suppress your Leeds envy.

  10. There are 92 clubs in the football league and you only obsessed with one. You still haven't told us what you got 4 months for, and my guess is that you were on the same wing as Stuart Hall.

  11. Hopefully won't sell him, he is the player most likely to create something out of nothing in our squad! You've got quite a gambling problem haven't you hf! If he stays will we get a post apologizing and without any wind up or sarcasm?

  12. Welcome back H F. All Leeds fans will be rejoicing that nothing bad happened to you as you genuinely had us all worried by your absence.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you went into a rehab clinic to try and get over your pathological obsession with our Club and after a couple of Months you fell off the wagon as the new season approached. Am I right?

  15. Thank god your ok. after months of silence you are back! without an expert like you to keep me filled in on what is REALLY happening at my beloved club Leeds, I have been in the dark and more than likely lied to by "nice guy Brian" and "The Arab bank built on sand". without your priceless inside knowledge, I, like all Leeds fans have been scratching my head as I haven't heard any news about my club for months. i didn't even know that mr Warnock had gone until you mentioned it in one of your recent brilliantly written articles! And who is this "nice guy Brian" that you mention? I cant think of any Brians in management? bar Mr Clough, although I heard a rumour that he isn't managing anymore but since I didn't hear it from you? its probably not true. Anyway, welcome back and please don't leave us in the dark again. I know its only a matter of time before the bbc or a tabloid paper spots your talent, wit and incredible knowledge about all things football, but until they do? please remain loyal to your huge following of us Leeds fans and keep us in the picture as you did so well last season. P.S, Any news on Ken Bates leaving our club, or is that just another rumour?

  16. Mccormacks body language suggests he's going nowhere, howeve,r I'm not so sure about white, norris and Pugh ...Were witnessing the birth of something special happening at Leeds , and trust me McCormack wants piece of it....

  17. You make a reasonable point. If the price is right, Leeds might accept, if the offer is compelling (money/advancement of career) Ross might decide he wants to leave. I can't see Middlesborough exciting him. Frankly he's better than that. Mind you he might choose Accrington Stanley!
