McDermott and Lowes may well be your problem.
Isn't a bigger problem the man who appointed them?
Everyone saw what McD did at Quins, they were bottom of the league contenders all season.
Did anyone at Leeds seriously think McD and Lowes would coach your team (or any team) into the top four?
Absolutely no chance!
The appointment of McDermott and Lowes was dreadful and your club are now reaping the consequencies.
Hetherington is the man responsible, no one else.

If he hates the club, why did he admit - off the record - that he wanted the Leeds job? Whether or not he would have got it, I don't know - but he's certainly admitted to wanting a crack at it before.... |

What shade is deluded? If it's poop brown then knock yourself out pal and you colour yourself from head to toe.
I'll just call you deluded! |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you!

| Quote: El Diablo "By extending this logic only a little further, you could save money by just not having a coach at all. A team with no overall structure and game plan will rapidly become a beaten team, and a demoralised team, and the errors will come.
If that structure and cohesion are not the coach's job, then what exactly is the coach's job.'"
No I am not saying that the coaches job is not important. I am saying that the evidence on the field is of some players playing well with structure while others are clearly past it physically and mentally and not able to maintain any structure or game plan for the full 80. To ignore this and put it all down to the coach is to miss the crucial problem we have.
I too am not happy with McD or his strange selections but I do think a change of coach will not solve the problems of a squad that is now 5th best in SL and hampered with 2 of its best players not fully fit yet. |

Well If you are not deluded then I must be a psychic then?
I got some stick off you and others at start of last season and more so on the announcement of the "magnificent seven" for stating what would happen this season, and been proved exactly spot on correct right now. How is that when McDermott wasn't even announced as assistant coach at that point, let alone head coach? |

Correct, but... any critique of GH is frowned upon here. The majority prefer to shoot the tea boy instead. |
