Not particularly, but it's the football* Im interested in not the boardroom shenanigans. As someone mentioned what has happened happens dozens of times, every day in the business world. The lowest point for me as a Leeds fan (other than the murders in Istanbul) was relegation from the premier league, because of the crass capitulation of our squad of multimillionaire internationals. But even that can't erase the memories of the good times, listening to crackly radio commentaries of our lads heroic acts in far flung places, the inevitability of a Leeds win in the teleprinter on Saturday at 4:45, Lucas scoring with his arse. Imagine the dull listless life of a Spurts or Villa fan, season after season of nosebleeding mediocrity. I signed up from this 38 odd years ago and I'll be fecked if this little local difficulty is going to stop me. I earnestly hope that come my first match of the season I will be there standing singing my little heart out, giving it large with a WACCOE! ttfn Richard * when I say football I mean the camaraderie, pannini stickers, the laughs, the tribalism, the lows and highs. The bit with those 22 blokes chasing around after a pigs bladder is a bit of a distraction really. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
