In that case lets have another one built with the proceeds from this years.

we haven't bought one with last years yet

as an aside, no wonder the scousers can't afford a new stadium, they keep imploding in the GF and blowing their chances of a pay day in the WCC

Very True. I'd be interested to see where these funds have gone/are going. I'd also love to know how much we made revenue wise from the WCC this year. Anyone know if clubs have to ever release a financial review (or something similar) like this and if so are they for anyones eyes or just those deemed worthy??? Im aware football teams release their profit margins????

There must be a fair chance that Leeds are saving up for future investment - both the North and South stands will probably need replacing in the short-to-medium term.

Of course many Football teams are PLC's so have to release their accounts

Is the english prem a good example? I'd say so due to the fact that the TV bosses and PL could suggest a GF or a 39th game. Would it happen, no!

My point is we already have a knock-out cup in the CC, if we have the GF, what's the point in the CC anymore?

They do have a playoff, it's called the Champions League with a final and it's the biggest single club football game in the World. The Premier League is just a qualifying tournament for that.

Chelsea sacked a double Premier League winning manager because he couldn't win the Champions League. Get it?

I meant another stand of the same quality. Not another stand in place of the Carnegie one.But I'm sure you knew that. I also appreciate there will have also been alot of external investment with the Carnegie stand.

I was merely having a suggestive moment, wishfully thinking..."wouldn't another stand of the same quality as the current Carnegie Stand be a treat."

Joking aside though its a bloody nice stand. If Leeds see fit to invest in another of the same quality I don't think it will be a bad thing. I trust Mr Hethrington however will do what he sees fit with our increased revenue.

I think the South stand is very much on the clubs' agenda. However, securing external funding in the current climate will prove much harder than it was for the Carnegie Stand.
