I applauded him for what he did at the club. Brought us stability after so many awful years.

This week. These last months. I've lost every bit of respect for him. What a coward.

What was he doing on the 4th goal? He looked over his shoulder, there was nobody behind him. At that point he should have gone towards Moura and didn't.

I initially thanked him.

He totally fluked it by following Cellino's advice and getting Bert.

I lost ALL respect for him the moment Bert left and Clown A stayed.
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game :geek: ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it :lol: " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.

Especially since Radz is probably in a cab heading for the airport.

Yeah and a great decision not to try to win against Newcastle when it was 2-2 as we had 2 winnable games coming. Similar with Leicester playing for a draw against Newcaslte - you can't pick and choose which games to u try to win.

It's another one he just bottled. A decisive player hits it first time with his left. He wanted another touch while he thought about it.

It's crazy isn't it. If we'd held on to that 1-0 against Palace, we'd probably have been safe.

This needs to be resolved fast. We need to work on next season. We're going to get a late start at that.

And honestly, what players will really want to stay while we're in this limbo.

We need ownership addressed. And then a DOF before we can appoint a manager. Only then can we start convincing players that we have a plan in place. Something they can commit to.

Meanwhile the players are probably looking at our owner gallivanting around Italy. Just as bemused by it all as we are.

One of the few who did OK today and he's barely had a a chance
Baffling why Allardyce didn't use him in any of the other games. He might not be 30million. But he's not useless either.

I got away from the football completely, just found out about the score but considering how the season has panned out ,not surprised. If you are a streak without a win , you want Leeds , almost guaranteed an end to a streak like that unless you are Leeds on that streak , is it nine without a win? Anyway , I escaped all this and am right now at Lake Garda , Italy . I even forgot about football for a few days .

I recall when somebody in the West stand was having a row with Orta.( well publicised on Sky etc).
I said at the time, I don't know what that guy is saying, but I agree with him'.

Same with Gnonto and Summerville today.

Seems to dislike young players

The way he treated Rutter was extremely poor.

Threw him under the bus multiple times in public (kept a half fit Rodrigo on because he had nobody else).

Rutter did well today

Dreadful. I would have locked the home dressing room door and sent most of our first team home with a P45 in there hands , this was a spineless passionless performance, for a set of players not fit to wear a Leeds united shirt.
Ortas fetish for signing Kids when we needed a striker and a defender or two has undone us.
And i know the rose tinted glasses mob will disagree but most of the kis he signed wont make it. Rooney was sixteen and able to grace a first team. Some of our so called prospects are in the 20,s and have been found wanting in the first team.
I have been watching leeds since 1968 and this was by far the worst team effort I have ever seen.
major surgery is required. there are about 4 players with enough quality and desire, the rest need to be signing up for Tranmere Rovers or Forrest green if the can hack it.

The goal just before half time at palace was a huge turning point, I am convinced something happened at half time as a result of that goal and the team havnt looked themselves since. Yes we were porous at the back and made mistakes all season but we looked like a team and still played some ok stuff, after that half time break we have looked especially poor lacking any kind of cohesion and fluidity - my money would be on Mckennie been a toxic influence on the squad.
