Quote Biff Tannen="Biff Tannen"A lot of people, myself included, saw that as a perfect time for him to draw a line under the era. We had won everything, the cornerstone of the success in Peacock and sinfield were moving on, and he had been in the job for 5 seasons as long as any coach had had the gig in my lifetime anyway;
the only way was down. 2016 was shocking.we were ok last season and took advantage of the other usual suspects being off their game to get into a position to be able to mug Cas in the final, that was an unexpected bonus but this season is back to a 2016 like effort and some of the performances are suggesting even the players are growing tired of the regime. Time has certainly come to part ways, but again i agree its a shame it has to end so abruptly but only GH and Mac know what has been said at the minute, maybe we will know in time.'"
If you were playing something close to your first 17 then, I'm sure that most people would agree with you.
However, for one reason or another, in 2 of your 3 poor seasons, you've not been anywhere near full strength.
Maybe this is down to conditioning (and ultimately this is probably under McDermotts remit) or, perhaps you have too many pensioners in your squad but, given the side that Leeds have had to put out most weeks, it's not a major surprise that you've struggled.
As mentioned in my earlier post, Sinfield has been impossible for you to replace and you could say that he should have done better and I suppose that only he and GH know what the plan was and whether decisions were made to go with youth or whether GH wouldn't spend to replace and those on the outside dont know the answers here.
However, the way in which he appears to have been sacked does seem harsh, really harsh.
