Leeds Ladies Chairman Gary Cooper exclusively reveals to We All Love Leeds his thoughts on his first 12 months at the club, their amazing achievements and his hopes for the future...  If you had asked me twelve months ago what I thought the next year held in store for what was Leeds United Ladies before they were so cruelly cast aside by LUFC and disbanded by the LUFC Foundation my answer would have been “God only knows” such was the disbelief in the ambitions of the clubs parent body. Despite the rumours and the uncertainty even if the club had carried on as ‘United’ in name behind the scenes united was the last word that could be used to describe the scenario and so perhaps the best thing that could have happened did happen – during the first week of July 2014 the Foundation announced it was to disband the Ladies team. Step forward the people without whom a football club of any size or stature can neither exist nor thrive, its supporters and most fundamental stake holder, the people who love it.

By Keith Ingham  A trip to Millwall started the season off on a disappointing note. A 2-0 defeat was not the best start to David Hockaday's reign as first team 'coach'  By Keith Ingham
It didn't surprise me that after a short while back from his enforced exile in Miami, Massimo Cellino was back behind the microphone trying to explain where Leeds United go from here. Nearly seventy minutes passed, including a cigarette break without Sheriff Cellino making one statement that didn't question his mental state or ours for listening to the garbage that comes out of the Italian's mouth. There is a saying going around that you can tell when the megalomaniac is lying it's usually when his mouth is open!. By Andrew Butterwick
During the week Neil Redfearn declared that "all I am doing is fighting for the club and if that's a crime then I'm guilty" yet another indication from the unassuming Head Coach that he "gets Leeds" unlike the owner and his deputies. Incredibly Cellino had chosen not to renew Redfearn's contract before today's final game against Steve Evan's reprieved Rotherham United side. With the rotound Millers boss threatening to turn up in his beach wear against the background of a wave of emotional support for Redfearn today promised to be...............well as the Monty Python announcer used to say "Now for something completely different" By Keith Ingham  Sol Bamba with his first goal for the club against Fulham, this 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage was one of the results of the season. The score although flattered us but as they say 'a win, is a win'  By Keith Ingham
The season is over, thank god!. Another mid table finish and more embarrassing events off the field that sometimes make you wonder why season after season we continue to support a football team that although has wonderful young players, an honest bloke working under not the best circumstances and some of the most loyal supporters in the entire football league, still to the outside world looks like a 'car crash' lurching from one bad owner to another. |
