GH's stubborn nature is sending us over the edge.

I don't doubt that the scale of the rebuild needed has been woefully underestimated by the CEO. Maybe his focus has been on trying to get the planning permission for the ground improvements through and then getting the funding together. Whatever it is, to coin a phrase he's taken his eye off the ball and assumed that on field matters will look after themselves.

Nobody could or would have predicted this fall from grace.Its almost Leicester like but in reverse, what would the odds have been for this side to finish bottom at the start of the year?, must be huge.

Its inconvenient for the CEO but surely he realises he has to act now.

I am now afraid I'm very afraid

In any business, boom-time CEOs can be very different to turnaround CEOs. Or turnaround CEOs of today are different to turnaround CROss of 20 years ago. If Leeds was a shareholder-responsible business Hetherington would have been out a month ago.

We all know that's not going to happen, but as said on another thread often coaches aren't sacked until the crowd starts calling for the head of the board not the coach. Maybe that's the way we ought to go if there's going to be any action.

He failed to succession plan but the club is disintegrating before his eyes and hes frozen in the headlights. No doubt he's drafting his next everything is alright email at the moment but if hes not clever enough to se that the side are falling apart under Mcdermott then he has to go as well. This week by week complete capitualation is more than just injuries or the flood theres something rotten at the club and putting your head in the sand and pretending its not happening is destroying the club. Time for Caddick to step up and hand out some P45s starting with Gawy and McDermott.

Do you really think that the people in charge of the club don't know there's something wrong? that's the easy part, doing something about it is the hard part and I would imagine is not a quick fix

How any Leeds fan can say anything bad about Gary Hetherington and Paul Caddick i will never know.

We should be forever grateful they saved the club without taking into account the 7 titles, 3 wcc, 3 challenge cups, turning club from a debt ridden business to a 7 figure profit making company. They have also created the best sporting foundation in UK sport and built the Carnegie Stand.

Yeah were having a bad time at the moment but we have a lot to be thankful for.

The last club GH left lasted all of 4 years without him.

If he isnt taking action there will be a reason, just calm it a little.
If we make no sgnificant changes in the off season and are struggling next year then you can call for a board change.

Well said. We've been spoilt with the success we've had and the 2 guys right at the top have been paramount to it. This season is worse than any of us could have imagined. We knew it was going to be a tough one, but most would have looked at the squad at the start of the year and expected at least top 8. The fact is the squad hasn't been coached well.

If someone said to us at the start of 04 that in the next 12 years we'd win all the trophies we have, but this year we'd be struggling at the bottom, we'd have taken it. GH, despite the crap email will be working his off behind the scenes to fix this. I for one trust him to sort it out and get us back to the top.

McDermott needs to go though. Just don't know who would replace him

The last club would never have existed without him. Hetherington's genius was in creating it, getting it into the top flight and making money. That the people who followed him destroyed it fairly quickly just emphasises the point.
