Leeds United are back
Saturday, June 9, 2007 at 12:25PM Well bravo. Bravo Tottenham Hotspur and bravo Daniel Beelzebub Levy. It seems I have underestimated the Chairman of the Board and his minions. And it probably serves as a reminder that I should be – at all times – fully alert and focused because my assault of words on the Levy Empire appear to have birthed a retaliation. And a positive one at that.
Levy actually appears to have a set of balls.
The footballing grapevine is, at this moment, delivering some rather juicy grapes. Juice grapes of truth.
West Ham United are doing their utmost to turn themselves into the new Leeds, which makes Scott Parker the new Seth Johnson and Lee Bowyer the….still a thug.
Russian money. Filtered through Iceland – all bankrolled via a silent Russian partner. Allegedly. We have offered Darren Bent a set amount of wages, a competitive amount of money that is deserving of a player of his proven Premiership calibre and would make him one of our top earners. So, possibly £50,000 or £60,000 per week. However, the ‘ammers have gone one better. In fact, 100% better by offering him DOUBLE the amount we have.
It’s like Gollum winning the lottery and still having to bribe prostitutes to sleep with him.
Levy apparently believes this has fucked it up for everyone else WHU are doing what Chelsea did, but in wages not transfers. Seems, the chairman of the board is using restraint and won’t be held hostage over WHU’s short-term quick fix tactics which could quite comfortable jeopardise the club.

Regardless of the money they have spent, they haven't actually signed anyone of amazing quality. Offering players extreme amounts of money doesn't mean they can compete for the signatures of top draw targets that other clubs are chasing. It will end in tears.
