  1. Absolutely not my first choice at all, but I'd take Gerard, at least we'd be fit and play football that's good to watch. Brenda shat it and bolted last time, I know folk will say he only won one trophy, but I'm sure he'll be a more rounded manager after his experiences since then.
  2. I did think L72 was Gonzo at first, but there's been a distinct lack of grammar assassinations, so I suspect I may have been wrong.
  3. If we do end up with the RB logo on our kit, you'd think that our kit sales would increase. People have a strange obsession with 'brands'.
  4. Would have, not would of. Standards, and all that.
  5. Aye, we need to move a load on, I'm really hoping that next season I dont have to set eyes on yilmaz, lawrence, tav, Dessers, danilo and quite a few others.
  6. Nope, he'd get roasted by the press. He's yesterday's man, a fallen star, his football is shite to watch, and he's became a comedy act. Move on.
  7. Mibbe 20 years ago, with £200M behind him. We need to get away from hiring hasbeens.
  8. Nope, they'd make him a joke figure, which really wouldn't be hard.
  9. Aye, I think so. The financial naughty step.
  10. Spot on. The only time we succeeded anywhere near within our means in my lifetime was around big McLeish's time, in terms of player budget.
  11. Jose is about as far on the complete opposite end of the spectrum of what we require, as you could go. We need a system, ie sporting director, coaches etc, that work towards development every bit as much as it does working towards success. Which definitely isn't Maureen.
  12. Can we have a 'none of the above' option please?.
  13. I don't read any of our press, but it's not like we've not been burnt before. I am however an optimist in life, and concur with your summation.
  14. The truth is, that we don't actually know that for sure. So it was entirely understandable that people were concerned that a Leeds fall in form could have adversely affected our takeover. I mean, it's the kinda thing that would happen to us.
  15. Syphilis is more appealing than Dyche.
  16. Agreed, BF has been a downgrade.
  17. Aye, for the first half of his contract.
  18. Good cause, board knew nothing about it going by that last image. Move on.
  19. Sam Snead and Windsor Davies would be better, and they're both deid
  20. I did that exact same dance this morning, expecting to check the scores and see Leeds had dropped further points. But no, they're top of the league. Clickbait wankers.
  21. The individuals contribution has to make a difference though, surely? Say Cerny crosses and Dessers goes back post instead of going across the defender, but the defender clears before it gets to him, or Raskin slides a pass through but Dessers knows he's gone too early, checks his run and it runs through to the keeper etc. None of those will be an expected goal, but had a striker made a better decision, both would have?.
  22. We can't be blaming Dessers for our ills this season, that would be silly in the extreme. He only gets it as a striker is the focal point of a team (as is the keeper, and he's getting it anaw), and him missing chances is what we remember in the immediate aftermath of games. We don't recall the ball being given away in midfield, defenders playing opposition onside, poor team selections etc.... I've criticised Tav in the past, but only when I feel it's been merited. Alongside the buy and sell type players we desire, we need Tavs, bought for a pittance, loyal and a great servant to the club.
