No. You did NOT say "Curbishley is the one" You said "In terms of the obvious candidates I'm not that keen on any of them. Curbishly is the obvious one but I'm not sure" implying that he was, in your eyes, the best of a bad lot. So, yes I did read your mail, you obviously preferred (As I expected) not to step up to the plate when asked to. I am uptight, so should you be. The future of our football club is in the balance. A bad decision and we could be going backwards not "on and on" as you are also keen to think we are just because KB has gone. I'm not smarting about anything, infact if anything I can take the higher morale ground than you as I've always looked at the whole picture not through blinkers as you have done for years. Did I not say that objectively and taking REAL WORLD circumstances into consideration, not the "We're Leeds United we should be there" dreamworld that you sometimes dip into, that KB had done a decent job under the circumstances, but on the evidence of the last 10 games of last season and the play off fiasco that now it was indeed time to get rid (Which I said pre season BTW), or do you not read my Emails ;o)
