Ill expect a "root and branch" email to come out from Darth in the next week or so to try and calm the natives as this season has been such a massive let down. It promised much and delivered nothing.
The statement the other day I read is brilliant all this talk of transition needs to end, it just wont cut it anymore and cannot be used as a scapegoat for people not doing their jobs correctly / at all and coasting off past glories that count for naught now.'"
We won't get a 'root and branch' email IMO, because this process already started around the time Smith was appointed. I don't think anyone ever expected instant success, even though it may have looked that way with the GF run.
Talk of a transition should not end, a) because it is realistic given the hole we are in and b) because it is an acknowledgement that while they are trying to fix things up in the short-term it is going to take more collective work over a longer period of time to get us back to the top.
That doesn't mean Leeds can't put a competitive team together for next season that have a good chance of making top 4 (or better), which was the aim this season. We need a few more astute signings and a decent pre-season.
