    Leeds fans having a massive backlash on Radio 5 Live today.

    Basically going mad at Rads tweet in regards to an unfair playing field, one fan pointed out our home gate of 30,000 compared to Burton Albion and 7,000 was quoted (sounds low but still)

    The appointment of PH was a mixed reaction but Orta is a hated man by nearly all.

    My stance exactly Olof want to see a plan and a way forward, a show of intent. All we are getting is give us your cash and we will do as we wish. No more for me and my lad,just booked holiday to Thailand for Christmas and new year for me, wife and 2 sons that £761.00 will go towards that and I'm sure after this season there will be quite a few more like me

    Heck took the Leeds job because he said he liked having a director of football and scouting network, he didn't want to scout players, sort out contracts and the rest that goes with being an old fashioned manager.

    I can accept the sorting out contracts part but surely we need a guy in charge who says to a scout go and get me a list of Left Backs to look at. The criteria is I want someone able to attack, who is pacey..... (you get the idea...)

    Then he tells the scout he wants a striker who can hold the ball up and is used to playing as a lone striker. The scout comes back with a list and the manager sits down and has a look at recordings or watches them when he has a day off or uses a very trusted scout who he works well with.

    If PH is just coaching the players and he has an assistant and a set piece coach with him then I just wish he had time to sort out corners both defending and taking because I'm really wondering what the players do on the training ground.

    I said in August that Rad would only get to pull this con trick once. people believed the PR and bought into it....
    It's getting close to stick or twist time. Either he starts running a football club or he concentrates on running a player farm and the attendances dwindle to the low 20Ks. He wont care too much this year as he had loads of ful houses and all the ST money.

    Radz tweet stupid, Radz performance so far, Good. Until I see how he reacts in the Summer I can only think his inexperience has hurt him with this group of players. If not Chippy would be correct, but throwing £20m into playing staff for many to be shyte must hurt. Worried about Radz judgement as he owned up for employing Tommy, keeping Tommy too long and I aint seen anything from PH to suggest hes learned a lesson yet

    The Italian set-piece coach also works on our defending of free kicks and corners. Came to light during post match presser.

    Then Rads can save some money as the guy is useless if what we are witnessing are his instructions

    Complying with EFL FFP Rules is easy especially when anyone can ride a coach and horses through it. We started doing it this season as all them kids and the loans to sister club, and deals with Middle East and Far East is all classed as 'investments' and therefore cannot go down as spending? (Spending more than you earn is against FFP)

    Maybe there should be a fine for spending silly, like we seem to have done on some players

    Think thats the zonal marking stuff we saw for the headed goal last night, where Dallas was left with two players to mark.
