yeah, so? Our second 11 would be losing by more!!! I know you don’t like people saying things aren’t perfect at the club. But it’s only on watching other teams do it that the differences stand out.
You just said Leeds' second XI is so far in advance of ours yet they are losing heavily to another second XI whereas we lost to a full strength Preston.

By not spending money on Rusyn and Hjelde. Would have paid unitial fee.
Had we not signed someone capable of playing LB when Huggins, Cirkin and Alese were all out for the season you would have been first in line criticising the club. You can't have it all ways man
 
...and spent more time out of the PL than we have in his tenure.
To be fair and I’m not advocating him by any stretch, but he’s won the League Cup, and been runners up twice, runner up in the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup and probably about 3 seasons less in the Premier League.
I would have took that UEFA cup run, let alone winning the League cup.

It’s irrelevant. You’re telling me that because Leeds are losing 3-0 that doesn’t mean the likes of Bamford, Piroe, Ampadu and Byram aren’t better than our equivalent players from last night?

My point was purely based on seeing the players that are playing. The Leeds players on average are undoubtedly better than our second eleven players.
 
You cant just disregard his past because it suits. He took over when they were bankrupt, and sharing Hartlepool uniteds stadium.
Its amazing what hes done with them, looking at how small of a club they are with not the best of fanbases
Im not at all, as i said hes a good owner but im happy with ours

Anyway im not going to take over the transfer thread

The evidence is in front of your eyes

...and look where they are after all that. No better off than us

Leeds have been shocking night, they arent playing our 2nd 11 so we wouldnt know if theyd beat ours or not. On paper they look better but theyve been so bad tonight
 
A huge portion of the money brought in has not been reinvested and they have the highest season ticket prices in the league. Would you be okay with that?

They sold Akpom and brought in Latte Latth in for 4m, and he is now worth about 3 times that amount. Pretty good buisness as far as i can see. They now have Conway in to play upfront. These are the teams we are competing against and we currently dont even have one striker that looks like being able to score over 5 goals this season.

But that’s not the argument TC, you said he spent more time outside the Premier League, Im providing a bit of balance, as they have won something of note and have been to a final that we haven’t even come close to or likely to ever be near

We have wasted money though. My point shows this.
