>Answer me this question though, Is the club better for having Bates in >charge?
Better than what? I believe it is better of with Bates than for example you. Also better of with Bates than me. No worse of with Bates than RedBus - or at least there is no way to know. But all that does not matter. Bates is a part of Leeds now and he is going to be until he decides not to be - and you can be sure that he is not going to let Paul Cundell influence his decision. Comparing your anti Batism to RW various player/manager bashings is irrelevant. It is easier to influence the owner to sack the manager and the manager to sideline a player. I also thought RW was far to obsessive in his criticism, but somehow I have always loved his writings and after matchday I waited excited for his reports to arrive. For some reasons I however don't enjoy yours... perhaps because it is too spitefull. I don't remember reading from RW that he "hated" Blackwell. He certainly disliked him. He was even often constructive in his criticism. You are just taking it too far and your hatred is to exesive to be normal. And just a point for you Paul. No matter what part of the team you are bashing, the owner, the players, the manager, the fans, the staff - you are certainly rather beeing ANTI LEEDS than PRO LEEDS.
