Paraag Marathe

Post by Musicman1965 »

After the shambles of the transfer window, a critcal point of the development for Leeds United and one man is responsible for the huge failure in tarnsfers during this period. As the title says Paraag Marathe has seriously put Leeds United in a weak position. His failure to act has now put a massive pressure on the manager who now has to work with a strike force that is championship levelat best. Lets not mince words Paraag Marathe had a job to do and this job gave notice that a window for critical transfers was coming up and ending in September 2025. Research, strategy and how to proceed with player deals is totally beyond this guy, feckin disgrace. Lets see what he did about getting rid of the deadwood, he did nothing, Bamford contract terminated, Harrison the rat still here, Aaronson still here and
others that just need to go to make way for new blood. How is Byram still playing for Leeds he needs to replaced, the list goes on and don't get me started on Illan Meslier the substandard goalkeeper that nobody wants. I really thought the 49's had it covered and could oversee what was going on. The truth is they are either stupid or think they can take a gamble in premier league and get through on the cheap... Paraag Marathe you haven't done your job, so get in your Volvo and feck off out of the club..

Paraag is an environmentalist and his involvement in the transfer market was his contribution to stop climate change.

In a short statement he said

"fans boycotting games due to terrible signings reduces stadium energy consumption, as empty stands require no lighting or heating."

Instead of the daily news we could have the daily breathless rant.

Well if we did have an empty ground...

We could resign Bamford, cos apparently he's only any good playing in empty stadia.
Scores even if he is in a wheelchair apparently. Nothing to do with fitness levels at all.
He would need Bielsa shouting at him though, so we would have to ask Farke to put on a dodgy Argentinian accent..

Fortress Elland Road.

so now our Manager Director is saying because of our PSR position it was not possible to get a marquee signing unless we sold one of our starting 11 players. So much for Paraag saying we were going to spend every last penny in this transfer window

I've reached the conclusion that for all your efforts, you don't fully understand psr nor the running of a successful following the rules in line club. You should try bringing your expectations down a little, no, a lot. :tup:

Umm we did spend every last penny.

The problem is we can't offload or sell players. Clubs might be interested, but their wages are too high, meaning we either loan or give them away for free, and that doesn't help our PSR.

I’m not saying they wouldn’t, they clearly would, unless Rangers play their under 21s. I’m saying by just about any metric you want to apply - size, support, trophies etc. Rangers as a club win hands down.

Well, what a lot to unpick there.

Quite pathetic really, no time for such.

I recall you were leading a sack the board protest after the Swansea game.

Did anyone else show up?

Not saying they're not a big club, but they're a big fish in a small pond along with Celtic, where only two teams can win trophies. If they swapped leagues with Leeds, you'd say Leeds were bigger, as they were more successful.

Sorry but I would dispute that.

I think that underestimates the size of LUFC.

Just on a social media basis we have far more followers for example despite being a 2nd division side for the vast majority of the last 20 years.

Trophies yes but they play in a pub league with basically a 50/50 chance of winning anything.

And financially a Premier League Leeds United will generate significantly more money and ultimately sell for far more than Rangers.
