I look at, and read posts on a few sites regarding Leeds United, my team, and on no other site do I see such unfounded toxic hate for the people who have saved our club from oblivion! Really pleased I wasn't here when Bates et al ran the show!

13 Apr 2018 23:52:12
Radz didn't save us cellinio did and finished a respectable 7th in his last season so it shows how far backwards we have gone bright

14 Apr 2018 01:40:16
I agree bright, think radz deserves at least more time for what he's already done!

14 Apr 2018 08:31:00
Martyn how true your post is, he had many up and downs but his last season was his best and I wish he had given it one more before giving it to this dog brains 🧠,

14 Apr 2018 08:35:26
It's not a case that we want rid of Radz, we want him to wake up to the real mess the club is in on the footballing side and address it. Whatever his master plan is, doubt very much he was prepared for things to go as bad as they have. He seems to be blinkered on his plans, he tried changing things by getting did of TC only to replace him with somebody who's as bad (results wise) . This season stumbles from one mess to another, Radz and his management team have badly misjudged things at Leeds, the stupid rebranding, poor recruitment etc. Yes we applaud him for buying Elland rd ground back, well done sir! But now do something about the rubbish we put out on the pitch. Time and time again he was lorded as a good business man by some, sadly his reputation will be tarnished if he allows things to continue. I am sure most of us would love to stop the moaning and be positive, Radz give us something to be positive about.

14 Apr 2018 12:15:40
Bright white try going on the sc site youll soon see how much hate there is for current regime and certain players.

14 Apr 2018 12:57:32
Didn't say Radz had saved us, did I? But he was part of it. And as for Massimo, who I recognise as the one who finally turned our club around, I seem to recall a load of vitriol going his way on here too! As I've said before, it's all well and good to shout "Radz out! ", but there's not a queue of people waiting to buy us.

13 Apr 2018 22:53:16
So Heckingbottom 4 wins in 37 matches. class leading!

13 Apr 2018 23:18:28
"Not his fault though"

13 Apr 2018 23:41:33
Grot for alioski? answers on a postcard

13 Apr 2018 23:42:35
Sarcasm sg

13 Apr 2018 22:22:36
Radz must be so proud of what he has created this season! . The fraud sitting next to him must have some patter to get him to believe his BS. Its like the story of the emperors new clothes. When will he wake up?

13 Apr 2018 22:43:32
Spot on cmob Radz clear this mess up straight away get shut of Orta and all the rubbish he's brought in your the gaffer and need to act now or risk losing the fans Grot Lassoga etc won't get us anywhere your mess put it right can't believe youll trust him for ext seasons signings enough is enough

13 Apr 2018 22:11:16
Poor performance - what Grot and Lassoga were on for I've no idea - Peacock-Farrell, Pearce, and O'Connor were the only shining lights in a bunch of headless chickens - Saiz gave us more 2nd half but really Heck is outbof his depth

13 Apr 2018 22:41:08
Glad I have my ticket away, hurts like hell that is how bad things have got with the club I've supported for over 40 years.

13 Apr 2018 23:00:24
Heck can only use what he has been given i think with the injuries and suspensions tonights performance was better than we could have hoped for.

14 Apr 2018 00:08:03
Was that his excuse at Barnsley as well billy

13 Apr 2018 21:53:49
A problem we've had since Jan. As soon as we get into the last third we go brain dead. Few if any chances, on goal, in most matches. Surely it's time for new faces up front. Come on Dalby, Clarke. Give them a go.

13 Apr 2018 22:18:55
Totally agree Leo. Those lads at the back were immense tonight! But we couldn't move the ball forward enough, maybe because Pablo had one of his worse games. Tho lots on here have said to build from the back, which I agree with. Thumbs down crew get ready! I still feel positive for next season! Ps. BPF read the gameplay perfectly tonight. Well done kid!

13 Apr 2018 23:50:03
Which shows how poor we played if were talking about how good the back line was in defeat

14 Apr 2018 13:06:42
? A good back line is essential, no matter what, surely? So what's wrong with praising those who put in a good shift?

13 Apr 2018 21:46:14
Come's to something when a 1-0 defeat is'nt the end of the world. How low we've sunk.

13 Apr 2018 22:10:49
Low amg

13 Apr 2018 22:13:41
What we've been treated to last couple of months, it feels like a win and all 3 points.

13 Apr 2018 22:20:51
But most predicted, including me, a 3 goal defeat minimum. So how far have we progressed, eh?

13 Apr 2018 21:40:48
villa won't be promoted they were there for the taking but we can't score/hold the ball up front youngns did great hope is there .

13 Apr 2018 21:23:52
Surely Lassoga is not worth 10000 a week

13 Apr 2018 22:17:26
He might be Wex in Turkish Lira.

13 Apr 2018 22:18:51
He's not worth 10000 peanuts

13 Apr 2018 21:18:08
What position is Grot supposed to be playing?

13 Apr 2018 21:35:27
You took the words from out of my mouth Creek mate! Mind you, do any of them know what position they are supposed to be playing?

13 Apr 2018 21:56:23
Do you include Pearce, O'Connor and BPF in that assessment? Pennington at fault earlier but a great saving tackle at the end. We had nothing up front tonight for the counter attack. That was our problem. Who expected us to go to Aston Villa tonight and overrun them?

13 Apr 2018 20:53:00
I've posted this before And I will post again, this squad this manager this set up at Leeds will struggle to get 34 points next season based on our points average this year . We will be pretty much relegated by this time next season

13 Apr 2018 21:20:57
Mighty, looks like your right mate.

13 Apr 2018 21:40:17
Agree but as things stand 34 points may be optimistic

13 Apr 2018 20:45:28
No passion, no skill, no pride, no quality, no desire, no point watching the second half

13 Apr 2018 20:49:12
I’m with you on that one Lucas, Coronation Street already on!

13 Apr 2018 20:55:07
Mmmmm, I wonder what the soup of the day is in Roy’s Rolls?

13 Apr 2018 20:21:54
If Phillips concentrated on his football rather than planning and getting frankly ridiculous haircuts he might make a half decent League player. Looks like a t**t!

13 Apr 2018 20:41:44
Then again probably not

13 Apr 2018 20:57:41
True. That should have read League 1 player.

13 Apr 2018 19:22:38
At least Hecky is on the same page as us now with his pronouncement that what is wanted for next year is a smaller squad based on quality not quantity. Good man.

13 Apr 2018 20:44:18
If Heckingbottom is here next season the following season we will be in league one !

13 Apr 2018 17:27:19
Gonna have a dabble on the game tonight but need some advice on where to lose my last stake before pay day. Shall I put it on Leeds to win and BTTS @ 11/1 or Leeds win @ 7/1 or just keep Mrs Lucas happy and buy her some new lingerie?

13 Apr 2018 17:51:22
Leeds to lose mate. Sorry. Get a good win and buy you're wife some unused edible pants 2 birds 1 stone. Plus brownie points.

13 Apr 2018 17:53:12
You will probably get a better return on the lingerie!

13 Apr 2018 19:32:30
Lucas I'm with you on this one. I must be losing my mind. But the sun shines on every dogs ass someday

13 Apr 2018 19:40:16
Well then it looks like I’ll be buying some more second hand dirty panties off eBay for my more than deserving lovely wife

13 Apr 2018 11:14:06
Let's not sound too downcast for next year. With just a couple of good buys and the emergence of young talent, the future could look bright. Don't forget we will start with nine extra players we don't have today. Those include the likes of Forshaw, Shaugnessy and Ayling who, most will agree, would make a difference to many teams. Hopefully all the squad will hit the ground running with a definite style and a reinvigorated mentality. Hopefully next year is our year and with such young talent we will be around at the top for years too come.

13 Apr 2018 12:08:12
Would prefer Chris Coleman to be next manager but Mick McCarthy is a good option. Definitely not Pardew or Maclaren, and aorta has to go! .

13 Apr 2018 14:18:14
Sorry leodis would love to be on the same page as you but until i see who we get in summer and who goes its hard for me to lift my eyes skyward. I reckon you need at least 26 players who can do a job in first team to have any hope of promotion. Fact is we have about 10 who are worthy of their place. Young ones may enter into it in summer but would guess only about 4, maybe 5. Couple of others may improve. Still leaves us about 9 players short. Will be an interesting summer. Not going to mention coaching staff.

13 Apr 2018 15:18:51
Excellent posts BIGE and Leo. Unfortunately, I don't think that either scenario will be delivered this summer, but probably the following summer. That's purely based on accepting the fact that we are a slow build project. We will have maybe three senior additions this summer, poss four, and wait for more of the youth to continue developing.

13 Apr 2018 15:57:34
Man u can kid yourself bright. Well done.

13 Apr 2018 16:33:44
Just my approach to life in general Aus! A combo of optimism and realism, while looking for the solutions to back up the optimism.

13 Apr 2018 03:50:16
Will go 3-1 villa, has to play Pearce, maybe try Anita in middle with V? Doesn't look like Rey, Clarke, Dalby or kun going to get a start this season, seems perfect opportunity to me, but guess PH concerned about his job and feels too big a gamble?

13 Apr 2018 07:11:28
Anita can't run. I am guessing that's why he's not been played centre mid all season, him and grot were so poor at Preston on Tuesday. I aren't even looking fwd to going to the game today, there was only Pablo trying at Preston, he was on another level to the rest . we didn't get back to elland rd on the coach till 1.30am so plenty of time for all to reflect on the game, everyone saying the same, no positives, can't see where our next points will come, Pontus bottled it again (watch the replays, all he did was head the ball clear, no contact with anyone at all) . can Heck motivate them? . as soon as Phillips misplaces a pass he hides for the rest of the game. saiz and alioski both look like the first championship season has caught up with them. I really can't see a style of play. just glad we have enough points to stay up

13 Apr 2018 10:46:15
Stop with the anita talk. Blokes a sissy. don't like boasting at all but i said few weeks back. can't see us winning another one. We have fallen apart since november. Nothing going to change now. Its a shame we have to pick some of the crap we have cause most don't deserve the shirt.

13 Apr 2018 11:57:20
Only saying Anita in middle as we are low on players and don’t like Phillips. We should have recalled Ideguchi a few months ago. I would get rid of Anita but maybe try him in middle as his position and don’t want him in defense. If we keep manager and Orta, could be a hard season ahead, I can’t see PH winning any games and now with skeleton team, going to be tough. I would love rads to go for a Silva, billic, Sherwood or raneirie, think that is the only way to keep our best players. Think Pontus and saiz would stay if new man comes in otherwise they GONE! Don’t think it could be all doom and gloom, with emergence of BPF and a few other young ones ( O’connor, Pearce, Rey and Clarke) and if we get back ailing and Coyle and buy a commanding CB with Pontus then good back line. Also Hoping that Ideguchi is worth all the hype, with Viera, Forshaw, saiz, Pablo and alioski, maybe only need a winger, middle sorted. Onto forwards, Roberts be like a new signing and hope he is the a player to score but still feel we need another striker. What about a cheeky bid for beriheno from stoke, seems abit of a sulk but sure if playing every week, he be a good buy? Think it all depends on rads getting in a high profile manager and letting Orta go to Deportivo. I think we could get away with only 3-4 new signings but would have to be money put up for above players.

13 Apr 2018 13:52:37
Saiz and Jansson are both under contract - if they want to leave it will be on our terms.
