no it doesn't! last time when we dropped down again was because we had to build a whole new team on next to no budget... ..right now we're in the luxury position of being financially ok and having some decent young players who we can choose to retain and build a good side around Meslier Drameh Cres...

If the likes of Bamford, Cooper. Ayling, Firpo, Struijk and Roca are still at the club next season then I wont bother following it.

Marsch actually won more games than the three after him combined. I know some want to pin all the blame on him, but we've only got worse since. Good point. It's hard now to believe that we beat Liverpool and Chelsea early in the season with these players. Since Marsch was sacked we have had absolut...

That's not the point I was making,they were all successful to different degrees and we saw some brilliant football under all of them,I wasn't comparing managers or their level of success. Ok - fair enough. Though on that basis you could bring others in - such as Armfield, when we reached the Europe...

211 goals conceded in three PL seasons is a stat which doesn't lie.

157 conceded in the last two seasons - the worst defensive record of any club in Europe's 5 biggest top tier leagues.

Kane's first goal summed our defence up,he kept running and Ayling didn't follow.We don't have enough money to sort this shambles out. Not only the defence but our mid field is extremely poor too and add the need for a striker ,mid table next season at best in my view. We've had our run of exciteme...

It was Bielsa himself who wanted the small squad. The decline which ultimately led to relegation began when the players came back for pre season training for the second season back in the PL. Something wasn't right - probably the players were exhausted after 3 seasons of Bielsaball without any squa...

The squad was by no means the worst in the league. The problem was having to try to make sense - on the field of 5 different managers systems in a year. You can't possibly be cohesive as a unit when you keep having to do constant U-turns. This was far less a player thing than a management / decisio...

You have got to be kidding?? March was an idiot, who had nothing to offer but hot air from day 1 - and brought in players totally ill-fit for the task. He had no idea what he was getting in to. Which is not entirely his fault - it speaks to the out-of-touch idiots who thought he could do the job in...

Only problem with that is that we would have never had Marcelo. And those were some of the greatest moments to enjoy as a Leeds fan. Despite whats happened in the past 2 seasons, you can't take the great memory of those 3 seasons away. But .... after Bielsa left we might have been better with Hecki...

Not blaming Sam but glad he's going! Club was relegated this year the moment we got Marsch in last year. The last good thing the club did was sack Bielsa. Nothing good since... I'm actually wondering if the club might have been better sticking with Heckingbottom. He would have been at the club for ...

No point blaming Alladyce. The club sat on its hands after our first season back. Alladyce was the last desperate throw of the dice by a club that had gambled and lost already. A crumb of consolation is that Radrizanni is not going to get the payday he gambled on. He’ll move on, so will most of the...

We needed a win and he picked a team to avoid defeat. Plan went to s**t in 2 minutes. He could have at least treated the fans to an entertaining line up in what was 99% likely to be our final premier league game. He got us 1 point in 4 games. They say so blame on Sam for getting relegated. But he w...

Orta's probably out of the country with a bit of luck.

Well at least Radz is going to get what he deserves - hopefully he can piss off out of the club now.

Since we got promoted Radz blew it. He's put all his faith in that clown Orta. Plus we've stayed way too loyal to a bunch of low quality, mentally brittle bottlers. I can't wait to see the back of the lot of them. 150 odd goals conceded and people are still desperately apologizing for these players...

Interesting to speculate whether the club should never have sacked Heckingbottom. He came in for the last few games of the season before Bielsa was appointed, and the results were pretty poor. If he had been given the chance to work with the players over that summer and to bring in one or two new pl...

If it's " healthy " to have a DOF like Orta then I hate to think what "unhealthy" is like.

Let's not forget that there were a couple or so of people on here ( no names mentioned ! ) who were consistently outraged if anybody dared to question Orta and/or Radz since we got promoted. If you criticised the Leeds hierarchy on here then you would get sarcasm and rude comments for your pains, an...
