This really isn't too difficult. We have a new manager with half-decent credentials at this level and a passion for the club. We have a squad, on paper, that should be winning games. We have a mean, cunning old bastard for a chairman (that's a positive, incidentally). There's only one *possible* reaction from a Leeds fan: get behind the team. Not for one or two matches, for the rest of the season, whether this lad gets us winning immediately or not. No grumbles about his selection as manager. No slagging off limited players just because they're not Premier League class. We have nothing to lose by being positive at this stage.
Call me idiotic, but I go to the football to be a factor in events. I genuinely believe we, collectively, change what happens. (God knows, going for the quality of the play would have been a fool's errand for most of the past seven years.) My remaining games this season - which will be limited by the arrival of Young Jnr in March - are all about blind devotion. (I sound like Dr Mike in one of his up days. Jeez.) -------------------- Richard Young Freelance writer and editor _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
