Ross McCormack fuels speculation of Leeds departure

Interesting tweet on Twatter by Ross McCormack. The wanted Leeds man talks about being humbled by all the tweets from Leeds fans but then adds, "Not aloud (sic) to speak about the speculation sorry."

Now, apart from the dreadful spelling error, this is not what Leeds fans want to read. Why, exactly, isn't he allowed (that's the way to spell it Ross!) to talk about a possible deal unless there is some substance in the rumours? How easy would it have been to post, "I'm not going anywhere guys. End of."

And if Leeds aren't entertaining the bid, why would they ban him from making such a clear cut statement? Nice Guy Brian has said how honesty is everything, and how the fans just want to be kept in the loop. So why is Ross not allowed to tell the fans what is going on; unless a deal is in the offing, of course.

And this must be read alongside the profits drop at GFH and their pledge to "extract value from existing assets" as part of their drive to reduce operating costs. Two and two usually add up to four and it would be a foolish man who now bets against the Scot leaving Leeds before the window closes.

    I really haven't missed you one bit! Yawn. Wind up Leeds fans and get 1000 page views. Yawn. Anyway to put you straight:

    After the other bid for Ross from Blackpool recently, he immediately took to twitter to deny the rumour. However, this went against club rules, and as a result he was told not to respond to transfer speculation again in the future. The club doesn't want players rejecting bids, which is understandable. Its the clubs decision to accept or reject a bid.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but he's going nowhere...he loves it here, and is one of our best most valuable players. And McDermott's already announced that the bids been rejected.

      Why did it go against club rules? There was a bid from Blackpool so he was wrong to deny the rumour. Why didn't the club want him killing the speculation? Because they were hoping for a higher bid perhaps?

      Tell me, where is the "honesty" in gagging your players and preventing them from telling the fans they are going nowhere?

      Because in the future, with another player they might feel differently. However, you do need to have consistancy in club policy.

      Another good attempt at a wind up HF.Keep trying.

    Nice try, if a little desperate. The main reason McCormack is not allowed to discuss speculation regarding his future is it's not his place to do so while he is contracted to Leeds United. It's up to the manager to discuss/announce such things if and when there is something to announce. Refusing to discuss a subject is one's constitutional right (at least it is in this country)and cannot be considered dishonest.

    I have to say this is one of the better forums for Leeds fans. It's a fair point from Hammersfan. Hope Ross stays as he's one of our better players. Why would he go to Boro instead of Leeds unless they were offering him much better terms.

    The bid has been rejected. If Boro come back with another silly money bid then that bid may well be accepted. Same as every other club. The player himself would have to decide if he wanted to go though anyway. Can't see that happening.

    Bizarre conspiracy theory. The Club not the player decides transfer policy. Otherwise, if anyone can say what they like to whoever when there is a transfer bid who is to know what is the Club's official position. It would be difficult to deal in such circumstances. No conspiracy theory but for what its worth I.would take any offer for White - he's shit - and if anyone offers £1m plus for McCormack I"d take it before they change their mind

    What is your problem? Clubs buy and sell players all the time. Its called FOOTBALL you idiot. If we sell Ross? he wont be the first or last you clown, its what happens at every club in the world you idiot. Some plonker thought it was a good idea to sell an over rated striker with a pony tail once and another club thought it was a good idea to buy her.

    You've come back from your holidays rather bitter H F.

    A pointless article with no substance. ( How unusual for you !) Oh and by the way, who really cares whether you went to the Cricket or not?

    You seem to name drop foreign countries you visit and your ability to afford expensive things a bit more often than you really need to.
