Once it became obvious CDK only wanted to move to Milan, we should have moved on.
----------
Maybe the club did move on but the media didn't. I sometimes think web sites & newspapers can go on and on about whether or not a signing is going to happen whilst the club meanwhil eare no longer spending any time or effort on it.

"Silly me for thinking that the sale of Leif Davis meant that we had a replacement in the wings close to being announced."
_________
Yes I was expecting a replacement to be announced sooner rather than later. Let's hope that now it proves to be later rather than not at all.

Nothing is about the past….it’s about the here and now.

That’s all that counts.

Kammy, just to make the point - not once have I mentioned Orta in my article. I've either referred to "we" or "the club". Orta won't be solely responsible for the club's transfer policy - it's a collective responsibility, hence the reference to "the club". I mention "we" because I consider myself part of the LUFC family, and as part of that family, I care.

In a couple of my previous articles I have acknowledged the good work done by "the club" in getting players in quickly. I've also alluded to that acknowledgement in the first sentence of this article, and once more in the last sentence.

As a parent, if I berate my kids for doing something wrong but praise them for doing something good or right, and I'm accused of being fickle, then yes, I am fickle. I see it differently however.

To clarify, my allegiance to Leeds United as well as my family is unconditional. That doesn't prevent me from speaking out if I'm not happy about something, or expressing an opinion. I reject the accusation of being fickle but I respect your right to your opinion.

Thanks for your comment though and I hope your plss cools quickly

Not only a case of where has all the close gone but now where has all the money gone?

Net spend is about £0

Appreciate wages likely to have risen considerably but it does again seem that we doing it on the cheap

3 seasons of tv money now
Stadiums full
Income rising each season.
Profit making last accounts.

Net spend of about £150m since promotion. Likes likely to rise significantly again given the bids made for CDK and a left back expected to sign.

As you have said wages will be have increased a lot this summer.

Profit in accounts is due to amortisation and the owner writing off a personal loan of £20m.

We will likely make a loss on last seasons accounts and a profit on this seasons.

Next seasons will certainly be a loss because the accounts will show transfer spend on all 4 summers in the Premier League at that point.

So fees for the following will all be included.

Rodrigo
Llorente
Koch
Harrison
Costa
Meslier
James
Firpo
Sinisterra
Aaronson
Adams
Roca
Kristensen

As well as anyone we sign in the rest of this window and the next 3. And anyone that I have missed off the list.

'Next seasons will certainly be a loss'

unless we win silverware and get some real backing

Wouldn’t really have a huge impact on profit and loss
