If you're looking for match highlights in future you can be pretty certain that this guy will upload Sky Sports News Coverage within 24 hours of a game. Just click on the link & select the match you're after. http://www.dailymotion.com/user/sparkyman2/1





You can watch extended highlights every week on bbc iplayer, just search football league show, last weekends here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wx91r/The_Football_League_Show_2010_2011_Episode_20/
If you're outside the UK you'll need to use a UK proxy so the BBC thinks you're a license payer.

I'm sure you blokes know how to set up a proxy, Im not a tech wizz myself but I've copied and pasted some instructions from another site which worked for me.

Step 1:
Make sure you have Mozilla Firefox. If you don't, download it here => http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Step 2:
Open the following link http://getfoxyproxy.org/downloads.html
Click the FoxyProxy Standard - newest release, then add to Firefox.

Step 3:
Complete the installation for FoxyProxy. Go to Google, and search 'Proxy list'. I use http://www.samair.ru/proxy/ip-address-01.htm FOR BBC Iplayer you need to select a UK based Proxy.

Step 4:
In the bottom right hand corner of your Firefox window, you will see a box which says 'FoxyProxy: Default'. Double-click to open.

Step 5:
Click 'Add new proxy', then go to the 'Proxy Details' tab. Under 'Manual proxy configuration', place the first part of the I.P address you wish to use (all the numbers, full stops included, before the colon) in the 'Host or IP address' field. In the 'Port' field, enter the numbers after the colon.

Step 6:
Click on the 'General' tab and name your Proxy (doesn't matter - but I name them by country). Click 'OK' and it will appear on your FoxyProxy list.

Step 7:
Click the 'Tools' taskbar at the top, drop down to Foxy Proxy and click 'Use proxy *your named proxy*' and you are ready to go!

You may have to try out a few proxies to find one which loads up all the pages correctly, but it's incredibly simple.

The trick is finding a stable proxy, a mate still out in OZ uses this lot http://www.hideipvpn.com/free-vpn/
He says they're pretty much 100% reliable, the snag is they limit the number of free accounts that they generate so you have to be patient.

how is the clubs financial position these days?
Click to expand...

Thats the million dollar question & to a certain extent is guess work as only short form versions of the clubs accounts are in the public domain. To answer the question properly would take pages, as Ken Bates uses a complicated network of anonymous offshore companies to deal with LUFC.


A report on the clubs financial position over the last 2 years can be found here http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/leedsunited/Leeds-United-Whites-reveal-financial.6221500.jp

Essentially LUFC posted a profit of £4.5 million 2 years ago & a loss of £15 thousand last year (this didn't include the sale of Fabian Delph £6-£8 million)
I & many others believe the poor set of accounts last year is a result of investors recovering the costs to purchase the club post admin (essentially a leveraged buy out).

Text from the Yorkshire post article below.
Published Date: 13 April 2010
By Phil Hay


Leeds United have announced an operating loss of £1.6m for the last financial year, with player sales allowing the club to post a slim overall profit of £15,000.

United's accounts for the 12 months to June 30, 2009 reveal a huge drop in overall profit from the £4.5m made by the League One side in the previous financial year.

Leeds' results for the 14 months prior to July 2008 suggested their finances were in rude health after their exit from administration in the summer of 2007, but the latest set of accounts from Elland Road – published by Companies House yesterday – make for more worrying reading.


The club's operating loss of £1.6m compares with an operating profit of £902,000 in the 14 months prior to July 2008, and their overall profit has also fallen dramatically.

Player trading generating income of more than £1.6m wiped out the operating loss and ensured the club recorded a minimal bottom-line gain.

But the results raise the concern that Leeds' future profitability will depend on player sales unless the club can secure a return to the Championship and increase their cash-flow.

The figures for the 2008-09 financial year do not include the sale of midfielder Fabian Delph to Aston Villa in August, the earnings from this season's Carling Cup tie against Liverpool or revenue generated by Leeds' FA Cup clashes with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

United's turnover for the 2008-09 financial year stood at £23.5m, a slight increase on the previous 14 months.

Merchandising income grew by 43 percent to £4.9million but commercial revenue and broadcast earnings showed marginal falls.

Gate receipts at Elland Road dropped by over £1million during a campaign in which Leeds lost to Millwall in the League One play-off semi-finals. Their receipts for the previous term, however, were strengthened significantly by an appearance in the 2008 play-off final at Wembley.

The board at Leeds have consistently budgeted for home crowds of 22,000 in League One, a figure which they estimated would allow United to break even.

The average attendance at Elland Road during the 2008-09 term exceeded that target by falling narrowly short of 24,000.

Director and chief executive Shaun Harvey said greater investment in the playing squad at Elland Road ahead of the 2008-09 term was partially responsible for the fall in profit.

Harvey said: "The accounts may not reveal the same financial success of the previous 14 months but they are still positive in so much as the profits shown.

"The club's decision to invest more heavily in the playing squad was down to us utilising some of the profits from the previous year. Unfortunately, we fell just short by losing to Millwall in the play-offs.

"The board of directors remain committed to achieving success on the field and achieving the growth off the field required to support that success.

"Accounts are only ever a snapshot of a financial position at any one time."

Leeds' current accounts reveal a total wage bill for playing, management and administrative staff of just under £12.3million.

Harvey received a salary of £150,000 while almost £130,000 was paid in legal fees to a company controlled by fellow director Mark Taylor. Chairman Ken Bates did not receive any wages or benefits.

United's accounts value their playing squad at £8,760,000, while the buy-back option held by the club on Elland Road stood at £14.138m on June 30, 2009.

The stadium itself is valued at £49million.

Leeds pay around £2million a year to rent the stadium and their training ground at Thorp Arch near Wetherby, a huge financial burden for a club in League One.

Among United's other liabilities is a possible future payment of £5million to creditors owed money as a result of the club's insolvency, due in the event that Leeds win promotion to the Premier League before the 2017-18 campaign.

United could also pay up to £2million in seasons to come depending on player appearances and success on the pitch.

If you can be bothered to trawl through them the latest versions of the companys connected with the clubs accounts can be viewed here. http://www.scribd.com/my_document_collections/2467335

Understanding the ownership structure of the club and the relationship between companies and holding companies is not a simple task. I think they're deliberately complicated.
There's good attempt at an explanation here http://www.scribd.com/doc/37333191/LUFC-Ownership-September-2010

The teams on a good run of form but a long way from up yet, wasn't so long since Barnsley & Cardiff hammered us. That said I'm loving every minute of watching games up here. Can't wait for Pompey on the 28th.

Ground was rocking for the QPR game.

One of the most despicable dives of all time by Arsenal! :p

Great effort guys :thumbsu:

The penalty they did get was the correct call, but I couldn't be more proud of the way we went about things. Defended like our lives depended on it and forced Arsenal to bring on Fabregas and Walcott just to get a replay. To me that says it all.

Whatever happens in the replay is irrelevant, we've proven once again we're on the way back.

But gee I can't wait for a full Elland Road in 9 days time!
 
Great win today & some cracking goals, links below for pages from the matchday program.

This week Ken Bates accuses Archbishop Desmond Tutu of being Anti Semitic, along with the usual digs at FIFA & Blatter & the Leader of the Labour Party.

This one is ok http://www.scribd.com/doc/46929352/...horpe-United-15-1-11-P1?in_collection=2467355

Fingers crossed for Arsenal in the cup midweek.
 
Some good goals this weekend, Gradel's especially. Great through ball from Snodgrass and Gradel's touch around the keeper was delicious :thumbsu:

I got up and watched. We played fairly well. Paynter up front never really looked like getting into the game.

3-1 was about right although in fairness Arsenal could have been 4-0 up in the first 25 minutes.
 
I thought we were well beaten last night & at times there was a real gulf in class.

Time to roll our sleeves up and work on the league, for those interested links to the match day program notes from Simon Grayson & Ken Bates below.
