    My fondest memory of Moscow was the 24hour sponsored podcast for the Leeds food bank. He got so bored he started to look around the house for any alcohol. He polished the six packs, then the wine, and then found a bottle of gin and got drunker and drunker and by the end of the 24 hours he was hilariously too drunk.

    Farewell Moscow. It won't be quite the same without you. My best memory of you was convincing me we weren't getting relegated in PL season 2 when it looked like we would. You could always find a positive outlook when the chips were down and with Leeds we could always do with a bit of that. Best of luck for the future

    Archie sounds quite positive about the move. It really sounds like it was his decision in everything he’s had to say about it. “When Spurs came and I had the opportunity…” for instance. He spoke about how Ange Postecoglou was ‘a massive factor’ in the decision. “I love him, my whole family loves him”.
    It really doesn’t sound like anyone was twisting his arm to move.

    I'm not normally a podcast fan, but Moscow drew me in (plus thinking why do I recognise Dan Moylan's voice) so there's going to be a big hole in the show, isn't there? One that Rob is going to step up and fill, so I hope he's in line for a massive pay-rise. Plus, you should really give Leedsista a bit of a plug for Moscow, too.

  • @seshoz
    @seshoz Před měsícem +1

    The point on the club insisting on a release clause is a really good one. Possibly it might have been more the case that they happily agreed to that clause rather than insisting on it themselves, but either way it gave the club a convenient way to raise funds and still be able to plead that there was nothing they could do to prevent Archie leaving. After the nonsense last summer you'd have thought the club would have been a bit more circumspect about having its hands tied with release clauses. But maybe I'm just being a cynic.

    In the same way Haaland has a dream of winning trophies for Leeds in the top flight... there's a few versions of things could happen in, say, five years time. One of those possible realities is we stay profitable and sustainable with ruthless support and leadership with direction and vision... we become a comfortable main stay back in the top flight... Archie is hitting his prime, has less to prove and looking for a new challenge close to his heart. Harry Gray is still part of the Elland Road bricks and mortar and all he needs to complete his legacy is the push of a bit of friendly internal sibling rivalry. Erling is the Leeds and he knows he is... my point is I think we're doing what's right for now and if any of these players wishes and dreams are truly written, there's time for it to manifest.

    In my opinion if a player is bought the fee should be instantly paid for . Not over a few years with a deal to a club and not on a club credit card. Either you can afford it or not.
    I do agree with player swaps or part swaps but the fee should be instantly paid or no deal.

    Spurs have better fullbacks and midfield players than Archie, just now,
    so he may not get much game time.
    He felt the love from the Leeds fans every time he touched the ball.
    At Spurs he will have to win them over, like all big money players.
    We move on, and the more things change etc ....
    It is great to get Joe back.
    Let us hope we get our fingers out and bring good players in soon.
