It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

Only a madman or a Saints director would budget for making it to Wembley every year...

Are you insinuating that we'll be splashing the £££ in transfer fees?

Yes, I was joking. Hence the

No, Not at all. Just saying that if we earn money over and above the budget by CC finals then it might be that they do spend, rather than just assume we wont spend because of the new stand. |

I agree and i'm sure if a top class player were available at the right price we'd be in for him irrespective of the planned developments. |

That goes without saying as it'll undoubtedly be true.
McDermott has little to no credibility as a SL coach given his appalling coaching record at Harlequins in terms of both performances and results.
A dreadful coaching appointment by GH. |

Quite.
If McDermott is in charge for the next 5 years, Leeds could well finish 6th, 8th, 8th, 10th and 11th.
I'm allowing for the fact that he has more resources available to him at Leeds than he did at Harlequins. |

Well that's not saying much when he's taken a mid-table club with play-off aspirations and a propensity to beat any team on their day to a club of cellar dwelling no-hopers. |

However, every £ saved is one that we don't have to borrow and pay interest on. Leeds could get by without a transfer fee signing, and the 100k would reduce future interest & repayments. |

Not if they have a loan in place fixed term with no early repayments. |

Maybe they have got their finance from the same people who do the finance for DFS, you know "no payments for the first year...".
Actually, scrub that, maybe GH has got a double glazing deal, you know the one, you buy one, you get one free. I said you buy one, you get one free....

The above article doesn't suggest to me that there is a huge amount of unrest behind the scenes or that McClennan feels bitter about his departure.
Quite the opposite.
I know that it's dangerous to believe everything that appears in the papers but IMV Bluey had no need to say anything about the circumstances of his departure unless to refute any suggestions that he feels badly done to.

If what I've heard is true then McClennan's departure is definitely to do with his family and not any kind of fall out with Leeds or Hetherington.
