[LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
hi, as crazy as LUFC is at the moment etc etc and the massive doubts we all have about The Hock etc, could it be that we'll have at least Blackpool below us in the league this year? Check out the following letter and the ownership shennigans going on there, it's very Captain Birdseye indeed: http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/article/open-letter-to-valeri-belokon-and-kaspars-varpins-177.aspx BMW ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
Re: [LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
Very brief foray out of lurkdom. Mainly to say I have NEVER been so uninterested in a coming football season as I am now. In my 44 years supporting LUFC I have never had a season approach and yet felt so much apathy and disinterest. More than ever, even through cuddly Ken and all the post Ridsdale shenanigans, we are a joke. Run by a loon, with a team of journeymen or potential youths (Who will leave pretty quickly if they are half decent), a coach who will hardly inspire players to come, our best player (Who's goals last year, let's face it, kept us up) sold and no marks being signed from second rate European leagues. I think I'm done. We're 4-1 (At best) to go down, so not even worth putting money on it to give the cloud a silver lining. Depressing, embarrassing and not worth the anguish anymore.

Re: [LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
I'm still interested in the league. I agree it could very badly. Birmingham and Blackpool are worse off. I don't think that Cellino intentions are the problem. It's that he's a one man band. Trusts his own quixotic judgment. While that may work in Italy his lack of experience makes that a serious impediment here. And I don't see a plan B .

They've sold almost 100 million worth of players though, with offers you wouldn't refuse. At least they're making money! On 29 July 2014 14:06, Mark wrote: > At least we're not Southampton!

Re: [LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
You'd refuse the offers if you wanted to break into the top four. The mission of a football club is to win, not to make as much money as possible.

Re: [LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
Id swap places with them in a heartbeat. It's not long since we finished above them in league 1. Look at the progress they made in that time! The difference is, if we had made it to where they did, players would be trying to join, not trying to leave. This is why I will never accept someone like Hockaday, or mediocrity at the club. It might be misguided arrogance, but if we lose our sense of ourselves as a club then we have lost everything and might as well all go home. How many compromises should we be prepared to make? How many times should we accept the sale of our only good players as 'good business'. I say fuck good business. I don't cheer the balance sheet.

Re: [LU] One club worse than ours in the league?
I don't think Southampton have ambitions to break into the top 4, and quite rightly so, the only way into the top 4 of the Premier League now is billions of pounds or billions of fans. In the short term, Koeman is a manager who works well with young players, and they are clearly brilliant at spotting and nurturing youth through. Must be fantastic to see all that talent coming through, although I bet they can't put in a decent shift.

Ha! Hockaday v pochetino is pretty desperate stuff Rich. Cultured young manager v old never was loser.
