Quote: William Eve "What has recent got to do with it?
The current CEO has been in charge since 1996, so Mears treatment is relevant.
I've already stated earlier that Leeds have a reputation for being malevolent, hostile, litigious, towards players who the club (The CEO) no longer see eye to eye with.
Far more malevolent, hostile and litigious than any other club I'm aware of.
Here's others who the club have treated poorly during the tenure of current management... Jamie Thackray, Ben Cross, Darrell Griffin, Paul Sterling, Nick Scruton, Paul McShane, Danny Ward, Lee Jackson, Mark Calderwood, Liam Hood.
I get it.
You don't like the CEO or the club being criticised.
This is a discussion forum with lots of differing views.
Get used to it.'"
Recent has everything to do with it when you state " Currently by the CEO and the Coach" and the current coach was no where near Leeds back in 2001.
On your new list of players:
Calderwood left for more money and to play full back ( he Can't)
Danny Ward Several issues and warnings for behavior and drink driving
Paul Sterling Treated badly by the coach of the time Dean Lance.... Dean Lance SACKED by the CEO
Ben Cross Was a flop and did not get into the team, asked for a release which was granted
Lee Jackson Left in 2000 with 12 months contract remaining to return to Hull on a two year deal again long before BM was coach
Darrell Griffin Could not get in team and sent to Salford on loan, should not have done the Dirty on Saints after agreeing a verbal deal with them.
Jamie Thackray Another player who did not make the grade and shipped out to Doncaster and Hull
So which of these players have suffered from "malevolent, hostile, litigious, actions by GH / BM.
Criticism of the club is / can be justified at times however your constant whine is boring and yes a discussion board so other peoples views also count.
