Mike,
Bates has done as good as anybody ...........
Stopped reading at this point. Is this a wind up ? Category A games against
real shit opposition, £500 a year season tickets next year. Delph money used
for loan signings only.
Come on, the sooner Bates leaves Leeds the better.
>>
>>
>> Best look what went wrong:
>>>
>>> 1. The whole Leeds ethos had become Beckford. We believed it & so did the
>>> opposition. As a result we kept him , they stopped him & we lost out on
>>> 1.8
>>> million & possibly promotion.
>>> 2. KB allowed a neophyte manager make that decision which was the wrong
>>> one.
>>> Fergie or Wenger would have sold because no man is their team. We bottled
>>> it
>>> At Xmas we should have sold & got two strikers in.
>>> 3. Buying Gradel was also a bad decision. We play best as a diamond
>>> without
>>> wingers. But by getting him in & McSheffrrey we suddenly wanted it
>>> different. Both failed.
>>> 4. Kisinboro was a great buy. But he 'breaks easily. Naylor is past it and
>>> cannot be with a neophyte CH it unsettles the defence. We should have had
>>> another CH with Naylor being the 3rd choice or first replacement
>>> 5. The right back position was never sorted.
>>>
>>> The business with Beckford cost us dearly. It probably cost him too. I
>>> don't
>>> think that it is his fault.
>>>
>>> I never suggested any of this at the time so you can ask who am I to talk?
>>>
>>> Like most I am under the 'Damned United' myth & screaming blue murder.
>>> [Like
>>> yesterday]
>>> The difference between us all & Bates us that he should have seen & known.
>>> He takes responsibility not just the money.
>>> The major decision about Beckford demanded maturity, experience & wisdom.
>>> He
>>> passed the buck & Grayson did the easy & understandable thing.
>>>
>>> The big question is what do we learn? One thing is that would we have
>>> 'allowed him to flog of Beckford'? I think that the answer is yes if we
>>> saw
>>> replacements.
>>>
>>> The bottom line is this: Absolute crap management not by Grayson. He is a
>>> neophyte and that decision was never his to make. He should have been part
>>> of the decision process. Bates completely fucked this one up.
>>>
>>> Last word: Nothing in life is a fairy tale or drama. Nor is this. I
>>> believe
>>> that Grayson is a good coach. He has learned the very hardest of ways. If
>>> we
>>> go to the play offs I still think that he can do it. But now we have to
>>> rally around & show our true colours as supporters, After all we are the
>>> 12th man on the pitch.
