Not only has the Reverend hurled scorn upon the obscene spending of the Premiership clubs in the last transfer window, he has also climbed down from his pulpit to share with the faithful why Leeds didn't invest the comparatively paltry sum of 600k on a much needed winger.
As the good Reverend explained, the targeted player, Birmingham winger Chris Burke, is in the final year of his contract and so will be available free of charge in the summer. What would be the point, therefore, in squandering all that money now for somebody who won't cost you a bean in July 2014? And there is a certain logic in that argument for as long as you keep on the blinkers.
The problem, of course, is that Leeds fans want to see a push for promotion THIS season, not wait another 12 months in the hope that the Reverend's prayers for deliverance from the Championship might be answered in the next campaign. Let's look at it another way. If 600k opened up the possibility of playing in the Prem next season, and qualifying for TV and prize money of 60m even for the club finishing bottom, with parachute payments to follow, wouldn't that be a sensible investment?
If GFH Capital aren't willing to punt a paltry 600k to support the Reverend, what chance does the poor sod have of taking the club to the Promised Land?
Wise manager judged it a poor deal.
ReplyDeleteWest Ham keep pissing the money away that will take it's toll when relegation comes and administration beckons.
Have a nice day!
West Ham = Vile racist scum in the ugliest most crime ridden shithole in Europe.
Youre spot on, especially with your first line. "Wise manager judged it a poor deal". Whereas a poor wannabe journalist judged it a good deal.If only we had someone like big Sam who can see a good deal (Andy Carroll?)
DeletePerhaps that's why HF will always be a wannabe journo and Brian Mac will always be a wise manager.
They'll probably get him free next week on loan!
ReplyDeletemm BMD said in one press comment that he'd vetoed it.. not GFH....
ReplyDeletewhether that's true or not.. no idea...
Has anyone got a good recipe for carrot cake
ReplyDeleteYeah but i was going to save all my carrots for Carlton Cole.
DeleteI can think of more
ReplyDeletea day late with this one old man
ReplyDeleteyou interpreted my point exactly (11.47)...
ReplyDelete600 k would not get us promoted so a wise move by BM again.to ensure automatic promotion by spending is out of the question.sensibil BM is showing the faith in the present team,that is not a million miles away by the way,bring in a target or two in the loan window.BM continues to make sense and progress with what he has!!
ReplyDeletegreat post!!
DeleteDo you call him Reverend because he has glasses and a bald head?
ReplyDeleteIt's not particularly funny mate. In fact, come to think of it, nothing you've written about Leeds is either funny or insightful.
If your own team are so boring that you have to write about Leeds United why don't you take up yoga, get more flexible and see if you can forever blow some bubbles up your ar$e.
Nobody said GFH Capital weren't willing to put up the money, it was McDermott who wasn't .Maybe he feels a loan deal at this point is the wiser move
ReplyDeleteBirmingham are desparate for money, we are desparate for a wide player. I think he will be on loan with us next week with view to permanent deal in January.
ReplyDeleteI agree (12.25)
DeleteWell its not very friendly on here to you today cockney boy is it.......so ur saying if we signed chris burke from birmingham,we would have a chance of promotion.one player dosent make a team.i agree with 11.47.get two wingers on loan,and the 6oo grand towards there wages.....just have to find one from somewhere.is stuart downing avalable,or is he playing for a shit east end team.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you will spend the next 600,000 hours and days trying to think of boring Leeds stories
ReplyDeleteFrom a business point of view, you may be right, but if we are serious about challenging this season, we need a Burke now (before he slaughters Warnock !). Was giving Macca a FOUR year contract sound business, when he would have settled probably for three ? Decent wingers are like gold dust - for 600K we might get two Ryan Hall's (nice lad), but what good is that ?
ReplyDeleteAh but you missed the nuance. Brian had the money but didn't wish to spend it. Very wise IMO. Interesting contrast to the profligacy shown by big Sam spending other people's money like its going out of fashion. At this rate the Amners'll be potless by the time they move into the White Eliphant.
ReplyDeleteBurke is 30!and o.k would be a good short term signing(possibly).BMCD,decided it wasn't a viable amount too pay for a player who is out of contract at the end of the season!!!Oh,on a financial point,the leeds chairman owns all the land around Battersea power station,and gfh are looking to invest in more land and buildings in LONDON!To raise more capital for leeds,ironic eh Hf!!!lol
ReplyDeletePerhaps your healine ought to have read- 20m reasons why west ham will go down. That being the approximate sum of the scrap w,ham bought from liverpool. Your obsession with LEEDS will only be a temporary distraction from the crisis at w,ham. The utter embarrassment you all must feel after your club goes crawling on it's knees to beg a player with a goal allergy to return. It must be even worse for those who actually go to games. Or did someone fling a ball towards the boleyn and old unfaithful ran after it,then sam said" carlton, while you're here"........ Good news though,GFH are expanding their portfolio with the purchase of several sites in London including upton pk, they intend to keep it as a knackers yard for the forseeable future. Watch this space for news on why David James couldn't turn down the chance of one last fling in the premier league with w,ham.
ReplyDeleteI am a Leeds fan, but I find the whole reverend thing really funny. It's so stupid. You've mellowed out a bit since Warnock left haven't you hammersfan? These articles make me laugh a bit more now...
ReplyDelete(13.06) Yeh it's funny..Robbie the soothsayer still Reveres Revie....
Deletehave you got a twin called jack?
DeleteHF (spam dangler) responding to his own articles yet again!!!
Deletemummy mummy can I have a hug? please give me some attention, I'll die without it. someone please love me or at the very least acknowledge my pitiful existence. Even people who live 150 miles away is better than nothing. Please respond to my recycled bullshit so my life seems worth living. Poverty, crime rate and sweeping chimneys can get really depressing. Boo Hoo!!! attention seeking cock muncher!MOT unlike you, you sad, lonely tosser
ReplyDelete7 articles so far in September - 6 about Leeds

If I was a West Ham fan looking at this apparent West Ham site, I'd think I must have went to a Leeds site by accident - since well over half your posts are about Leeds
We've had thirty somethings coming here supposedly to give us that bit extra. A few posts back you said we were lumbered with Warnock deadwood - you mouthy, southern pillock.
ReplyDeleteWe're not famous anymore!!!!! :-)
ReplyDeletethis is the most stupid article i have read sorry..it doesn't make any sense and no truth in it..who can tell who will be promoted at this time? this writer sounds like the on who should be called "reverend" for making such predictions ?
ReplyDeleteI'm pleasantly surprised and quite amused that you seem to think all Leeds need to get promoted is one ageing winger. I never realised you held the rest of the squad in such high regard. Maybe I should be optimistic about this season and not see it as just an exercise in consolidation (tongue firmly in cheek)
ReplyDeleteAs usual HF you,re not looking at the bigger picture.BMD is quietly and sensibly going about the business of running a football club properly.I think he,s spot on in his assessment of this situation.The reason Leeds fans get impatient is because we,ve won everything and had the best team in Europe before.This is something you will never have to concern yourself with HF.Premiership survival is your holy grail as opposed to Leeds whose ambitions are beyond West Hams imagination.
ReplyDeleteALL WELL SAID .... WE WILL HAVE INVESTED IN BETTER BY THE TIME HE IS UP FOR A FREE.... HE WAS CONSIDERED THAT IS ALL .... THIS TWAT JUST CONSTANTLY STIRS SHIT ...... LAUGHED I NEARLRY SHAT I HAVE NOT LAUGHED SO MUCH SINCE AUNTIE MABLE CAUGHT HER LEFT TIT IN THE MANGLE ........ ARSEEEEEE HOLESSSS
DeleteKSW) "Won everything!..." "Best team in Europe!..." I think those Thai sticks are having a hallucinatory effect on you, or maybe too much Mee Kong whiskey.
DeleteMind you those fake football shirts for 18 baht are doing well at the market.....
Go away Jack
DeletePlease,please,please never leave us cockney boy.i would miss the banter to much.has u can read,from most comments,ur highly regarded by the masses of leeds fans.
ReplyDeletenone of your jokes are funny
ReplyDeleteId rather be a reverend than a bellend
ReplyDelete70 million riding on black or red.......sorry....it,s been a bad day at work......but whamga. com.........it just keeps putting a smile on my face.........knock knock......quick get the skol and the smack ..........Bobby needs his hit.
ReplyDeleteyou quoted the smiths "that joke ain,t funny anymore".........can you not get anything right......but with a role on loan of 70 million it,s no wonder your stressed....plus 25 million spent on players over the summer and no money coming in on transfers............the joke is funny still after all........laugh.....you are........whamga.com.
ReplyDeleteYou have "warned" us so many times before GFH have no money. And yet, again and again, you accuse them of not having the balls to spend.
ReplyDeleteSo make your mind up spam dagger. Are Leeds owners skint? Or just in it for the profits?
And the expected retort of both will not do. You make the rules about cake and eating it. Which is it? Skint or leach?
600,000 reasons never to believe a word Hammerfan says,
ReplyDelete* Leeds will defeat QPR 2-1
* Back Leeds to beat Ipswich 1-0 and cover the bet with the draw
* McCormack will probably go
* Blah blah
* More bullshit
* More lies
* blah blah blah
Credibility factor 0
West Ham 0 Stoke 1.
His whole life is a lie! Pretending he's loaded, married and living in a foreign country. I'll tell you now if I was loaded and living in a foreign country, the last thing I'd be doing is wasting my time fishing for and lapping up hatred on t'interweb. His so-called well traveled lifestyle don't add up. Probably only has 4 pics on his wall, one of west ham, one of a well stuffed wallet, one of Jessie J and a picture of a sun drenched beach. Southern Troll lives in fantasy land, but outside the window is the bleak, blank landscape of Essex.
Delete(05.06)Well if you got the 13-2 on the Sheffield draw as predicted you are still well in front! and here's a tip for you tonight from me...England to score 4 or more (B.F.)
DeleteYour nose is still Brown from blowing spam dangler's trumpet! Give it a rest!
Deletegreat tip hammersjack. you coudn't have predicted it better if you had waited until 25 mins of the game to see how it was panning out.
Deletemystic f'in meg or what?
Not much of a prediction jack.the dog and duck public house,could knock 4 pass these muppets,so england will probably struggle
ReplyDeleteYour as painful as the spam dangler himself Jack! Give it a rest!
