    That's how testing these times are. The future is so bleak that it seems like there's no point following the club any more. The downs are worth it for the ups, we can't see any more ups happening.

    YNBK I think we know why they don't get back to you don't we. Could it be because of the amount profanities you can squeeze into every sentence? I can see it now: " Dear rag- 'ed Patel and that **** Bates. What the **** are you ****s doing ....... Probably why you never get quoted in the Sun :smiley-finger007:

    I know. Even now I am trying to believe its taking time for GFH to get a grip, change the Batesian culture of LUFC etc etc

    Not sure why I am believing this, as the evidence points mainly in a different direction

    There's always the chance of improvement just round the corner.

    Remember how dire and boring it was under George Graham, as well as through the 80s, and then we got someone in who bred belief into the team and make good decisions in tactics and coaching and selection. We know that O'Leary and Wilko both lost the plot, but that is the curse of being a manager (with DOL having the baseless PR Pete behind him and really screwing us over).

    But we are currently a solid middle of the road second tier team. We are not bouncing along the bottom, but neither are we setting anything alight.

    This means there is the chance of going forward. I believe we have some great kids coming through, and if we can get in a manager who will not blow what money he has as quickly as possible on buying run of the mill players but will only bring in class in the spine while blooding those kids over a long period (Dawson, Taylor, Thompson, Poleon, Turner's, etc etc) we may be very pleasantly surprised.

    Or we may get relegated and have fun in the lower league rather than the bland of this league.

    But this new set of owners are playing the same tune - promising short-termist and immediate promotion while their actions show they certainly are unable to provide it.

    But we may see change over the summer and when the new ST prices are brought out. Give them some time.

    Thats a load of bo** ocks for a start, they said their aim was to get back to the premier league no time limits. They also said the want to make the club substainable even in the championship. Half the fookers here and other sites moaning and saying they are skint as no signings as yet, more bo**ocks. No one has a clue as to their financial position. Warnock says money is available for signings and we dont have to sell to buy and i believe him.
    As for Becchio wanting to leave, Eddie Gray reckons he has wanted away a few times so stop shedding the tears and making out the club are forcing him out.
    We will make some signings before the window closes but no doubt they will be torn to shreds before they kick a ball unless it's someone like Mad Max. Fickle fickle fans

    Nice choice of picking out one sentence from a post that was resoundingly positive. <applause>

    I still can't put my finger on why I would still pipe the girl who did it. Might have something to do with those enormous chebs.

    You must be new to this 'supporting Leeds' business. For us it's Groundhog Day for years. This time with allegedly new owners! #Showmeapositivechange

    It's not just about how **** the team is. All the life and soul of the club has been surgically removed, we don't feel it any more. To go through the hard times you have to feel that special connection to your club, and we've had that through some rough times. Keep in mind we stuck by our club through "worse" than what we're suffering now, namely administration, League One, fire sales etc.

    The problem here is that the club came through all of that still standing, and during a period where we should be rapidly on the rise again and heading back to where we feel we belong, progress has been stifled and held back by a sad old man who has a point to prove, with his "just hold on a second, I need to prove my method works and your football club is the guinea pig" and his ****ty attitude.

    We're seeing only trickles of repair from the new owners and it's tough to keep going when you don't feel like it's "your" club any more. It goes deeper than results, it's not fun to support Leeds United any more, even when we are winning.
