Nice: very peaceful part of the area. Went to a great beer festival in Selby Town Hall in July. Beers divided religiously into N/S/E/W Yorkshire .

"Whereabouts in Selby are you from mate ?. Incidentally, my wife went to Corpus Christi, she has asked your dads name, but I appreciate you may not want to say". Lived on Westbourne Rd in the seventies, then off Leeds Rd backing onto Selby High School. I wondered if you are from Barlow nr ...

Don't post much but read a lot. I am from Selby but my dear departed father was raised on Dragon Road in Wortley, overlooking ER. He raised me on tales of John Charles and the subsequent great Leeds team, from Bobby Collins onwards. He taught History at Corpus Christi in Halton and Mount St Mary's. ...

I remember the club ditching it in around '83 or '84 for the Yorkshire rose badge, as the Peacock was said to be an unlucky bird. No idea where they got that from, like the badge stylistically but it brings back memories of relegation and then a spell in division 2 for me and so wierd superstitious ...

I would have thought that the 49ers' takeover would appeal to potential managers of a reasonable calibre, as they would expect there to be a certain amount of £££ (or $$$) to be available.

Interesting article. Still think it's too late.

I rarely post but read MOT assiduously. The possibilities in the above posts are what really worry me, albeit it must be similar for many clubs who drop from the Premier league. Long term expensive contracts basically paid for with mortgages...reminiscent of 2004. Hope we are not in that scenario.

Interesting thoughts in the Grauniad.

Please let it work under Gracia.

A credit to all Leeds fans, thanks Heidi.

Debate gets surreal...you can get Gareth Southgate at 50/1 mind.

Now that would be surreal.

Sorry to quite this foul organ but thought it was on point.

Notts I like your style. Post trenchant views and respect those who disagree. Like what I see about Gyabi, albeit against a modest side. A club in our position has to take punts such as these.

Elmet by Fiona Mozley. Good read for those brought up East of Leeds like me (Selby). Noirish delving into the semi rural communities around Micklefield and the East Coast main line, bit of an off the beaten track area. Very atmospheric.

My first post, been reading this fantastic forum for a few years. Will post in the intros page later. Moved to comment on the Chelsea topic. What everyone forgets is the nature of their support. I was once in the pub and a Chelsea supporting friend of a friend said, and I quote; "Hitler got rid...
