The EFL Thread

[Mel Smooth]

How’d your season go?

No worse than expected.

At least with Southampton up it avoids the clash of the morons fixture next season.

True. Portsmouth are probably the most pea brained and deluded support in the country. One good season in a decade and they think they're Real Madrid.

Reported that Leeds will need to make around £100m in sales to conform to the more stringent spending rules in the EFL. I guess they brought in a good few players for the promotion campaign. They have a number of players out on loan who they’re hoping will become permanent sales, plus 2-3 ‘stars’ they might need to sell to balance the books.

Seems excessive on the back of parachute payments.

£25m Leeds United player all but confirms he will not be making his loan move permanent

'I learned so much from this team and will always be grateful to say I was a part of such an amazing club.'

It doesn't look great for Leeds but they've got a lot of high value assets in the current team that will make serious money, plus the players they loaned out.

They'll be fine FFP wise and next season the teams coming down are really poor, so pretty sure they'll be up there.

I’d have bought a dishwasher from somewhere else if I’d seen this yesterday

It takes a particular kind of stupid to smash up your own town after winning a game.

Well I guess that's me out of this thread and back to the Premier league one. See you again this time next year!

Not much going on from Leeds fan on our roll up whatsapp group. Were happy to give it the big 'un getting to Wembley but not so vocal now

I'm a Reading fan and they seem to hold a terrible grudge because we took the piss out of them about 15 years ago.

This was down to the fact when they were spending beyond their means and cheated their way to the FA Cup in 2008, they rested the whole team in their final league game which resulted in a Fulham win and got us relegated on goal difference. We were obviously annoyed and did delight in their demise a few years later.

This season they've been incredibly arrogant, bitter and ungracious in winning the league. Often moaning about teams not giving them 4,000 tickets when a few years before when they were mid table, they couldn't sell out the majority of their away games.

They'll be back to returning tickets next season when they start getting beaten on their travels.

When you consider the family home is in Cheshire, and no way is Colleen moving from their newly purpose built mansion, and Plymouth is about the most awkward place to reach from there in the league pyramid, this smells of a desperate throw from Rooney.

He probably saw some flirty grannies in Devon and decided he needed some time apart from the mrs

They're frothing at the mouth that we've gone back up, they really thought they were going to beat us next season. Bless.

We played magnificently. OK scraped a result against a poor second string

To be fair regardless of that final game, you did the double over us so we deserved to go down. All we had to do was draw one of the games and we would've been safe by 3 points!

I thought we had our revenge in the play offs in 2017 but we even managed to mess the final up!
