last week got me thinking of a weird conspiracy having watched us play all season and we only ever looked good when we actually passed it under NW why oh why after soo many poor performances did he never changed tactics anyone with a brain in their head would of known long ball crap was never working so why did he insist with the same lame tactic? : ( he never tried a passing and moving game for some strange reason was all bout passin when I grew up anyways! so why did he stick to the same system because it possibly be he tried to get us relegated purposely sounds far fetched I know but what if he where still manager where would we be get ya thinking hay? since brian has taken over and changed tactics to pass we seem so natural when playing how could NW not spot this all I can say is thank god! we changed manager when we did just a pity and shame it wasn't sooner! with NW and his 8th promotion my ass!
MOT people got to say it feels good being a leeds fan these days! refreshing to say the least! lol Oh well just a thought folks!
Agree 100%. If we had kept the last manager we would have been Down for sure. Does make you wonder how he had been so sucessful previously but so bloody useless now, unless it was purposely done. If only gfh had realised when most of us had, wed be up. Never mind. One more year won't hurt, give mcd more preperation time.

What Rubbish, trying to get us relegated! have a word with yourself. This was his last chance to enhance his reputation with another promotion as his legacy, do you seriously think he wants to be remembered as a failure?
His problem was, he lived in the past, the game has moved on and his type of up and at em long Hoofball dosn't work anymore as other teams know how to beat it quite easily. The players had to buy into this or they were out, ( Clayton for one ) even young Barclay from Everton was given his marching orders, unbelievable. He is a Dinosaur and will go into semi retirement in Cornwall.
We have a forward thinking manager now, let's just be thankful that he was available and our new Board had the good sense to get him in now. Our future looks so much brighter under him and the players we have even look like most of them with a few really well thought out additions could get us very close next year.

I'd like to say that that is a load of carp, but I don't know what to think anymore where Warnock's concerned. I was one of the people who were dreaming of the big time when he took over so that shows how much my opinion is worth. I'd like to say you're wrong but it gets more believable with every day that Brian is in charge.
Interesting thought, and although JFK and many more theories are going around, I wouldn't think that NW would try to get us relegated but he just hasn't put the effort in to get us up either, just another pay day for him.
It was surprising to read on the OS that B McD didn't realise that we had the skillfull and good players in the squad that we have - he has obviously seen us play this year and thought most of them were a load of tosh the same as we have.
Maybe the future is bright, it will be interesting to see the next couple of results and performances as realistically under NW management even the most optimistic wouldn't have expected much good news from the results.
Ridiculous first post, although warnock had awful tactics if you went to the Wednesday game it wasn't like we changed from Wimbledon to Barcelona. There are many issues that need solving, first half awful, second half improved however we were the width of a post and a lira miss away from a draw against a poor team. Tuesday night much improved but we didn't steam roller an average championship side! The main issue still remains the quality, or lack, of the playing staff. Calm down. Also 911 is not a conspiracy. Jesus
Did warnock play terabt at qpr not quite hoof ball was it.
I agree with the first poster. I have been suggesting this from his appointment. He does not like Leeds at all- even went out to celebrate when we were relegated. Bates is no fan either, especially with all the abuse he gets from the fans. Put the two together and the news is not good for Leeds. If NW had gone back to Sheffield Utd for a last push for promotion that would confirmed it IMO.
Dont forget what warnock has said about leeds in the past, I am absolutly sure that when he realised that promotion was not a foregone conclusion as he thought it would be that the next best for him personally would be to us relagated, this man is a self centred sheff u toss pot
3rd poster you say NW tactics where old but yet qpr didn't seem to play so badly when promotod 2 years ago not 20 so his he hardly changed to a dinosaur in just two years give me a break!
Absolutely bang on. warnock qouted to me years ago when he saw lufc tattoo " you f*cking leeds " this was a vicious verbal attack and he was only bury manager then.
quite obvious he wanted this team down. leopards don't change there spots. could you manage that red outfit over the hills. no, I thought not. once you hate a team that's it. it stays forever.
on a plus point I can now go to see my team again now. I swore never to go while that donkey was manager.
MOT come on maccyD get us up next year
So we all agree. No conspiracy. He didn't try and get us relegated, he was just so goddamn utterly useless at his job, when you look at his whole term, tactics, signings and results its hard to understand someone can be that bad

if you go back to when colin was appointed, bates was comin in for protests big time. takings were down and bates needed time to hoover up the last dreges of cash whilst deflexing attention. enter warnock perfect mug loves the sound of his own voice. must say worked a treat. no conspricy just good bates business. we was mugged like it or not. you can fool most of the people most of the time. but you can't fool me

Original poster, grow up and live in the real world, at QPR they had some quality midfielders already there when he went. He bought scrappers and battlers for Leeds because we couldn't afford quality and decided Hoofball was the way to go as with Shff Utd when he won promotion with them, also the same with Notts County. My point is that he got rid of any quality such as Clayton and Barclay. to be fair to him ( which I don't want to be ) he never had a say in Snoddy leaving
I said the same thing months ago about warnock stitching us up. No plan A. never mind plan B. I thought when he took over after grayson his hoof ball tactics were to make the team look bad so he would be able to get rid of players he didn't rate & get some more in. Obviously no change in tactics when he got rid of the ones he didn't want? We didn't want someone who thought he was bigger than the club trying to take us back a decade. Some quotes you may remember ; Nigel clough will never see a team of mine roll over like last season, " I couldent have asked any more of my players after we got a drubbing from barnsley! How the owners etc allowed this man to destroy our club for months after this game is unbelievable.
So many persons follow Leeds, about time you all grew up, warnock is history, conspiracy?, ffs how sad are you lot. as for clayton, he was greedy and thought he was better than he was, move on ffs
