Funny enough Dave, I'm of the opposite view. I was pissed off about the Watford play-off but it didn't seem the be all and end all at the time. Although you're correct about the consequences for the club, financially and in terms of the relegation.
Sunday, I find it difficult to comprehend what would happen should we lose. As much as I've enjoyed this season (and I have renewed my ST) I think that going up now will prove such a boost to the club - there will be a bounce, a rebound if you like - that plus the Macca effect - ambitious young manager, wants to play football, has stuff to prove, added to his history with the club. I think a victory on Sunday could really relaunch the team and the club. Whereas staying down will become a "same old, same old" thing, ask Forest fans. I think a second season in Div 3 would be really flat. The spice is added for me by the whole -15 points shennanigans - it will just be legendary if we can get promotion despite that handicap. So yeah. I'm very nervous about Sunday - guess I'd better have a beer to calm down eh? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DAVID NATTAN Sent: 21 May 2008 11:02 To: list leedslist Subject: [LU] Result on Sunday - true or wishful thinking ? When we went to play offs last time I felt that the whole future of the club depended on the result and when it did not go our way (understatement of the decade !) we were plunged into total chaos and financial meltdown - hence the 25 point deduction and 3rd Division football. This time , whilst I hope so much to win - I don't feel that it is anything like as important to the club. If we fail then we will ,I am 100% sure, go up as Champions next season, We owe no money (except Bates) and are on even keel with a young enthusiastic and skillful squad. The fan base has remained loyal and we must be raking in the cash. Macca will not lose any players he wants to keep (not even Beckford) and will jettison what he regards as dead wood - Heath (gone) Weston, Westlake, Ameobi,Thompson, Kenton (won't renew loan) and a couple of others. He will make a couple of astute signings - a winger for one - players at this level and Champs level will fall over themselves to come here ,and so playing an enjoyable to watch brand of football we will stride majestically through the season. Like I say not sure if wishful thinking or just trying to play down Sunday Dave _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
