    Lee contracted M. E. as far as I recall. This is known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its effect is exactly what it says. No energy, some days can't move or get out of bed. I had a friend who had it, off work for several months then it slowly cleared. Don't think the medics really understood it at the time.
    If you recall Lee came back but was never the same player, pity because he had ability in my view. Can't remember where he went after us but never the same I think.
    Whenever I've met him, always has fond memories of VP, married a Bradford girl.

    Who’s to know what he’s squirrelled away in his time with us. £1m+ from Matt Ritchie’s sell on for starters. We’ve probably sold players for somewhere between £5-10m since he’s been owner. He’s bought a golf course out of it. It’s what these people do - get some other mug to fund something.

    Use of imagination should be discouraged, IMO.

    We're living in a world where Bill Gates has become a boogeyman, where a naturally occurring virus that has naturally occurred many times MUST have been leaked from a lab, where 5G mast towers either spread the 'Rona or are inherently dangerous to people on a cellular level, where 5G itself is believed by some to have been the very same thing as a previously engineered weapon of war, and where some think Leeds United will be able to survive in the Premier League.

    I've had enough of imagination for one lifetime.

    A man who has taken next to no interest in 3 years and taken the club down around 20 places in the football league all with bigger budgets year on year. Yeah can see why

    He got an offer of £7.5m recently. Which sparked the court case.

    Just signed a new 3 year deal. He may go sometime but not to a basket case like Bolton. They couldn’t even pay the compo.

    Only have to look at records since they took ownership of respective clubs. We are going down. His club is going up. Took time for them but worked.
    We are going no where

    Their problem is no one knows who actually owns it. So when you say other owners it is tricky.

    Do you try to encourage your car wash employees to be the best or do you constantly have a go at them?

    Isn't it Gareth Barry's brass he's been using ?
