The fans were no more loyal or proud of there team than any of the relegated sides. Pompey fans were easily the Premierships best fans, the UK's second best.
Re: Re: Leeds he's gotta go where he can do well though... plus an assest in money terms for the club. I don't think he would have relished leaving leeds. ALSO i did read he waivered his transfer fee outta respect for the club now THATS a fan.
Sorry but a fan would not of gone to the Scum. When asked on soccer am if there was a club he would not go to he said man u. Big turnaround as soon as there interested he never wiaved his agents fee of £75,000. Then he went to them he could gone to other clubs he put himself first end of. If your Scum don't come Back.
Smith waived his loyalty bonus which was meant to total approx £1 mill. Thats why ManUre say the deal is worth £7mill to Leeds, as the paid £6mill & Smith save Leeds £1mill
Fair play its the least he can do. He knows he burn't his bridges though unless he comes back on a bossman. Or works as double agent in the Death Star (Old Trafford). If your Scum you won't be back.
Fans delay Smith award decision Leeds fans have still to decide whether to invite Alan Smith to receive his Player of the Season award at their annual dinner next season. Should be a good gig if Smith does turn up
Don't be so narrowminded. i'm leeds thru and thru, yes the rivalry between leeds and Man u is legendary - and it was sickening for him to go there - but he wants to do well in his career - can u blame him? is it his fault leeds went down? u could argue he had a part in it - but he has to do whats best for him at the end of the day. he was faithful to leeds and did everything he could - not like fucking bowyer. he's a turncoat scumbag (in my opinion). i would still applaud Smith... at heart, he's leeds thru and thru too.
The lad has played against some of the biggest clubs in world for Leeds & didnt fancy trip to the trips to Rotherham, Gillingham,Sunderland etc. He is better than that man
at the end of the day - he and club knew he had to go to try recoupe some money. It wasn't soley his desicion to leave.
Anywhere but the Scum sorry it been a crap season and this is a slap in the face. Still get to go to sunderland next season with my mackam mates. My dad still thinks smith is a good man, views seem pretty divided but for me thats it with him.
i'm with yer dad, he's done what he can and kept loyal throughout - but it's a pity he's gone to man u, i admit, but sometimes u gotta look after yourself.
Leeds games If you are into leeds and Dance Music pm me as i can get away tickets for Sunderland next year and will be traveling to some Home games as well if you are interested in going to any.
