Well said Whiteman. He may have had his faults but nobody deserves what he had to go through.

Martyn-g, got to give him some credit he paid 50 pence for the club when no one else was interested saved our bacon even through he was a pain in the arsenal so for me can’t send him to that hole. (in fact I would send my worst enemy)

I will never give anyone credit for asset stripping our great club. do you honestly think her ever put even 50p of his own money into Leeds? Chairmen (with one or two exceptions) NEVER put their own money in without being able to get it back out and Master Bates made millions from Leeds while he dragged us through the mud. He engineered it so that nobody else could get near us you need to revisit the correct version of our history Whiteman.

Imagine what state we'd be in without him.

Aifupper, they all make money no matter who they are the point is who came when the 🍟 were down and let’s mke no mistake they were, He did, As I said he didn’t do us any favours and he may have made lots on us but he kept us going for his own benefit may, so you can keep your history book not really worth the effort reading them,

Reading what Haigh said in the papers, it reminds me of a film called Midnight Express about a Westener stick in a hell hole prison in Turkey. I think we should have negated a prisoner swap. "You send us Haigh and we'll send you, Ian Huntley". Seems fair enough to me.

There were plenty of others interested at the time when Bates bought the club but him and his cronies made sure he was the only one who could buy it by greasing up the companies we owed money to. He then took us to the lowest point in our history and put us into administration. The guy is a complete crook.

If that was the case and from what I’ve read they showed interest but never had the money to back it up, the money owed would have to been paid back who ever got there grubby hand on the deal, Raz has no money it a consortium who now own Leeds he’s just the front man, and when he sells the club he will make money as they all do, that's Y they are rich, by greasing the next guy up that how it works in business. How may time have you read the story that this person or that person was looking at buy Leeds lots and lots but never had the money.

Along with the best of what we have, it is the spine that needs strengthening. With the addition of new quality players it will aid the players we already have . Think we will need a GK centre half, left back and a mid field general. On top of that of the three wingers we have Dallas Sacko and Alioski, one needs to go and 2 new ones brought in . Number 10 Saiz is fine with Hernandez as backup . Up front Roofe Laasy, Grot and Ekuban . Grot needs to go to U23's, Lassy return to parent club from loan and we need 2 new forwards with some quality . We need some pace and some players who can run at defences, with a stronger more solid defence

To add to previous posts Phillips and Roofe have been consistent- Consistently reckless and positionally inept for the former and generally anonymous for the latter. Unfortunately they are not the quality to get us promotion. Average at best.

Hessian, I think is unfair to pick on Phillips and Roofe in a better team they will do ok its a team of 11 players, if they all did they job than they will blend in, as they are not they stand out, think we need to start again for next season,

Agree2 Disagree1

08 Nov 2017 23:47:11
They're two of our top scorers, why slag them off, especially Phillips he's one of our own and gives 100% every game unlike others.

Agree3 Disagree1

10 Nov 2017 01:26:28
I, for one, am happy to have Phillips take the field. He has improved and is growing into his potential as the season progresses and never lacks for commitment.

Radz is the person best placed to decide when TC has had enough time. He knows what conversations have been had, what answers he has got and what the players and other staff think. He has brought much needed stability and professionalism to the club and i am sure he will not want to through that away lightly. The next few decisions will reflect on him and give everyone more of an idea of what kind of a leader he is and wants to be. It is easy for the players and other employees in the club to blame TC and not point the finger at themselves. Win together lose together is a good rallying cry, but people really need to believe it! I think by Dec 2nd and the Villa game we will know if TC can deliver top six this year or not. That gives him some time, the board time to reflect and review who else is available. If he goes then, time for a review of the squad, chance for the players to respond to change before the jan window. To me, that seems profssional, sensible and fair. You can prevent relegation by changing managers regularly but not promotion. Still belive the best solution for the club is that TC learns, shows the players he is boss and gets us back into the top six! But any professionally run outfit should always have a plan b/c/d.

I hope so spanish. i'm fully behind the rad
Whatever he decides is fair enough. He is a proffessional and with mc has done wonders for the club. Whoever is the cause of the slump needs to react immediately and turn it round. Lose v mid and its game over for me. Tc to go. I def think the purchases and loans need assessing as they were made with no experience of this league and it shows. There are some pretty duff players that have come in.

Ausman I with you on that, TOp Cat is a nice man but I don’t know if he can do this very very hard job which he finds himself in 🙏🤞

I'm on the fence with this one. I want to believe in TC and support him but I am really really nervous.

Do not know why some on here keep slagging off Roofe and Phillips. Along with Saiz they are he most consistant performers. Roofe playing out of position has scored more than Lassoga. Phillips has scored the same as Lassoga so i think the main problem is Lassoga and how we get the ball to him. If midfield are scoring an average of 6 goals each the striker should be on 12 or 13 and he is not. Think TC needs to have a long look at his formations

Phillips goal return this season is good but he is constantly abandoning his position to get forward. To be fair to Phillips, I believe that TC has told him to get forward but Phillips lacks the football maturity to decide on the most opportune moments, so instead he bombs forward on every occasion. Roofe is being played out of position but neither TC or Monk felt he was to best player for his preferred role. I take his goal scoring with a pinch of salt as 3 goals were against the might of Newport.
