You just have .

No I haven't.

There's a difference between making an observation where there is an APPARENT cause for concern ...and condemning outright.

It would take more investigation and research to do that: commensurate with what I stated.

i actually think that brian is going down the correct road regarding the style of footy he wants his side to play,whether or not it is deemed successful or actually wins any silverware during his tenure only time will tell
those opposed to his style must love watching wrestle mania?
i am prepared to give brian the length of his contract at the club to deliver the goods,not like some knee jerk supporters that would have him out already

I wonder how Leeds's fans are feeling about Brian McDermott's appointment now

See all non-"O/T" threads on this page for your answer.

I don't know why your banging on about your coach, the problem is the board, what the hell do they do with the cash? You have not invested in your side for a few seasons now, you have let class players leave without replacing, you have allowed an aging squad to go past their sell by date and not replaced and players have gone totally of the boil and zero done about it, same old, same old and watch the decline, get off the coaches back and see the real problems.

You are Brian McMuppet's younger brother and I claim my £5.

He does have a point though.

Mid season - Leeds dispence with two props - people assume it's to free up space on the cap, one less quota player and wonder aloud 'who is coming in?'

They've had their answer.

Ah f**k it, those idiots will come along every week anyway
and they will even feel a smug satisfaction that they are loyal and know more than those who are not there or questioning those in charge whilst the decline has been allowed to continue
and we can "reward" them by offering them a fiver off that merchandise we cant sell
now, how else can we reduce the wage bill?

Thats all very true.

Look at it this way - what is the point in having the most successful season in the clubs history this year when for part of next season you already know that your capacity is going to be severely affected (lets be honest, it is...) - much better to tighten the purse now whilst still milking those who lay down and accept the milking as part of being something they call "loyal", and run at 50% of potential until the southstand development is complete and paid for (by your company not by a local council) and start again after that.

If your business can run at reduced capacity & output while you rebuild (literally) and you're happy with the numbers and more importantly you know that a percentage of your customer base will just keep handing you the money regardless of what you produce, AND that the rest will return when you have something new and shiny to sell to them, then its a great plan and Gary Hetherington is a genius.
