    Nah, start planning for Championship football.

    The upside is that at least Championship football starts earlier than PL football.

He already thrown Orta under the bus (Deserved) now most of the players.he is going to say the club should have called me in January and Leeds would still be in the prem. fat fork tongued twat. He is going to make it all about him

    We’ll be mullered by Spurs. They’ll score at least four against our rubbish. Btw gave up watching pre gmatch buildups or post match interviews. It’s mainly rubbish and they don’t give a damn really unlike us fans

    I thought Sam made it about him just to take the pressure off the players… and that it was nothing to do with him having a significant ego and monumental chip on his shoulder. He wasn’t self-aggrandising with his ‘better than pep’ spiel - he was protecting the players.

    So obviously, now he’s chucking them under the bus - it’s nothing to do with him implying it was an impossible job - it’s purely a psychological move, so they go out and prove him wrong with a performance of heart and quality against spurs. <whistle>

    Whatever the motives, it’s a pretty accurate assessment.

    He’s right to throw the players and orta under the bus though. They’re an utter disgrace. Professional athletes unable to run for more than an hour against a team that were on the piss 48 hours earlier. A bunch of expensive journeymen unfit to wear our jersey and assembled by idiots. Roll on next season to getting back to the winning feeling occasionally regardless who we’re playing

    I don’t know why everyone is so disappointed in our position.
    Didn’t Radrizanni say we were going to follow the Leicester model, that being the case he has done a first class job.
    Blame the players if you want(with justification) the person to really blame goes by the name of Radrizanni.
    To claim he knows nothing about football after 6 years is nothing short of stupidity.
    We are told he is a businessman, more like conn man in my book.
    So back to the championship for us
    Can’t make my mind up wether I’m disappointed or not after all in my opinion the PL stinks of corruption at the very top.
    Waiting with baited breath on the next move the club makes, doubt they will find another Bielsa.
    Just my opinion of course

    A **** show from top to bottom and anyone who thinks different is naive in the extreme... whoever hands the money out to the buyer of these extremely poor players must have more money than sense...still wait there's always that flying pig to hope for ;)

    Just a distinction here. After 6 years he should know how to run a football club as a business. But know about football as a sport? Understand the game? You either understand sport or you don’t in my view. If you’re in the ‘don’t’ category you’ll likely never get it unless you suddenly develop a passion to play/learn/understand.

    His job, as is the case with any businessman, is to surround himself with good people who do understand the bits they need to know. So to me, those that want to criticise him should be questioning that rather than his own personal knowledge.

    There’s certainly a case he put too much trust in orta but my problem with him is that he apparently made the decisions to sack managers and sell players. If you don’t understand the game don’t interfere. Let the football guys you hired make those calls. And sack them if you’re not happy

    Match of the Day 2 pundit Micah Richards has revealed his astonishment at Luke Ayling’s post-match comments that Leeds United weren’t fit enough for their pivotal clash against West Ham United.

    Is he astonished at Ayling saying it or the players being unfit. We all know they're unfit (in more ways than one)

    That’s my point as a businessman you surround your self with those who know and should also be constantly questioning decisions and expenditure
    I wonder how much networking he did in the world of football
    In my opinion he took Leeds on to make money
