A good plan, I wonder why no-one thought of that before

I have a four year contract here and I'll see it out in the reserves if I have to.

Said in his interview today on YR

Quality as oppose to quantity

Sounds like Simon's Only-bring-in-players-who-will-strengthen-the-team plan. Very noble in theory and kind of obvious and I'd like you to find a manager whose stated intention was to bring in more deadwood.

But let's look at the player side of things - who is deadwood. Well according to various fans on various fan forums, the list would include - Rachubka, Connolly, O'Dea, O'Brien, Kisnorbo, Bromby, Bruce, Parker, Brown, Sam, Pugh, Becchio, Paynter, Rogers, Nunez, Vayrynen, Forsell and Robinson. And I've probably missed out on other players slammed as useless by the fans. Oh and Howson was also deadwood according to some.

That wouldn't leave us with much of a squad.

regardless of who people think should be in the squad, buying for the first team and selling from the reserves should be the plan, not sure our Chairman would allow that but still.

EXACTLY..
and It's not Warnock's job to sell the players, is it? It's Harvey's.... he couldn't do it before so what makes you think he'll be able to do it now?

Couldn't even get rid of Andy O'Brien! Couldn't get rid of Andy Robinson after all that time... Mike Grella?!

We have a budget, and we cant buy unless we sell... or get lucky and their contracts are up..

Warnock's attitude towards our great club and our wonderful chairman will change a little once the window opens, id reckon.. He'll see how things really work around here.

Take the micky Mav but Warnock knows what is required to achieve promotion, he is past master & just the type of experienced manager we needed right now. I'm not saying he is the long term answer, if he gets us promoted in his time at Leeds he'll be a hero in the majority of fans eyes !

My point is that 'deadwood' can be a very subjective adjective

He's had 7 promotions but how many has he had to the prem?..... TWO.

First time he got Blunts relegated, 2nd time he got sacked.

Simon knows as much about lower league promotion as Warnock does.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, or that he cant do the job... but FFS your love for this bloke is ridiculous.

Complete disrespect for a Leeds lad that turned us around and gave us 3 great years.... and a big boner for an old dude from Sheffield that has never done anything but whinge about our club.

I wonder how well he will do when his best players are sold and he has f**k all money to spend on replacements?
