Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 http://www.leeds.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=250339 LUFC Newcastle demands scupper Smith return Leeds United chairman Ken Bates admitted that Newcastle`s demands scuppered any chance of former player Alan Smith returning to Leeds. Bates speaking on Yorkshire Radio said that the club and Smith were interested in a move, "We were interested in Alan Smith. Alan Smith was prepared to consider coming to us. He was on £3 million a year and Newcastle wanted a £1 million a year contribution. As I have said before, £1 million plus government tax equals £1.15 million, we cannot afford it, it is as simple as that. The result is of course that Newcastle have a player they don`t particularly want," admitted Bates. Smith is on the transfer list at Newcastle as he enters the final year of his contract with the club. Leeds have been linked with the Leeds born lad throughout the summer, who came through the academy system and played a major part in Leeds success under David O`Leary. Smith missed the pre season game for Newcastle at Elland Road at the end of July with a reported injury. BOOOOOOOOOOO THE GOVERNMENT! BOOOOOO!

wormy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Don't think we've been unreasonable there like Not at all. This isn't a youngster who we're just trying to get out for a bit of experience. This is a player we'd prefer completely off our books, and we're still offering to pay 2/3 of his wages. Piss off Batesy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'd say paying two thirds of his wages is an amazing deal for Leeds, they can fuck off if they want him cheaper than that. Notice the player himself isn't offering to take a pay cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Absolutely no chance of Smith taking a bit of a cut in wages to actually play football then? Content to do nothing for another year safe in the knowledge he'll be another £3m richer but another year of his career goes by. Fucking arsehole. At what point does playing become more important than money? Accept £40k a week and play or accept £62k a week and waste another year. He's a fucking greedy prick. Fuck off.
