Beckford on his way?

Leeds Striker Jermaine Beckford has handed in a transfer request. Beckford who has been in outstanding goalscoring form in recent seasons for the club, is currently the clubs top goalscorer with 20 goals to his name already this term.

Beckford’s current contract is up at the end of the season and his futhure has been uncertian for a while now after refusing to sign a new contract at Elland Road, appears to be on his way out of the club with Championship side Newcastle United looking most likely to be the strikers prefered desternation for a figure thourght to be around 2 million pounds.

We beat the Scum 1-0!

Im sure nobody needs remiding of this but thourght I might Mention it…

On Sunday the 3rd of January 2010, League 1 Leeds United had an FA cup tie against Current Premiership champions Scum in their own back yard!

Nobody could ever imagine that we would get a result, Could we??

Well, We turned up and gave them one hell of a beating!!! Outclassed, outfought and Grayson gave Fergiscum a tactical Lesson!

Thanks to a 19th minute winner from Jermaine Beckford, after he made Wes Brown look very silly before cooly slotting home over the on rushing keeper!! Get in… the crowd go wild!

This is the 1st time that the scummers have been beaten by Lower League opposition in the FA Cup!

A sign of the progress we are making under Mr Grayson!

Ilkley Whites ran our own bus to the game, After 20 members were sucsessful when applying for tickets. A great day all round!

Max Stays on!

Good News!

Fans favourite loan man Max Gradel has extended his loan until 17th Jan 2010. It was thought Max had played his last game for the club away at Stockport at the start of the year but thankfully his club, Leicester City have agreed to extend the deal which will see Max stay at Elland road for the maximum allowed time of 93 days. (Due to the terms of his loan deal)

I’m sure like myself, we would like to see the move made permenant later this month!

Apologies for the lack of news!

Happy New Year! 

Would just like to apologise for the lack of news/updates posted in the last couple of months! As im sure your all aware there has been alot of activity at the club in recent weeks, some good (Like beating Scum last weekend!!) and some bad… Topscorer Jermaine Beckford handing in a transfer request!

Despite lack of new on the site Ilkley Whites, as always have been in the thick of it…. Continuing to follow the Mighty Whites all over the country, week in week out and watching the lads dominate our opponents on the way back to the Championship!
