    Nothing to do with owners lack of love of the club. All the players you quoted wanted to play at a higher level and earn more money except maybe Gradel who claimed he was wanting to go back to his family.

    I believe we have negative elements within our fan base Billy ., but at vastly different levels and with different agenda. We have those who want Cellino out but can appreciate positive contributions he makes and are willing to change their opinions if the Cellino experiment works by improving matters. Ristac a good example I believe. We have the Glory type who won't ever admit to seeing anything positive. It doesn't mean he doesn't, but suits the online persona to keep the image going. All of these I consider true fans, with differing views but all want what's good for the club. There is another element I have great problems with however, the ttgm lot and recently aligned to them lust. They pour negativity every morning on social media and continues through the day. Their only ambition is to destabilise everything at the club and have no interest in discussing games, tactics ore results when we win. They have plenty to say when we lose. That negative element has no worthwhile place within our fan base and personally I'd be quite happy to see them disappear and bring their obsession with them. As a fan I'm not allowed debate with these clowns, they've made it obvious. Rant over

    To be clear I always want the club to win.... I invest too much time and money to want anything else.

    But when the Coke addled twat has another hissy fit and wrecks any progress(again) I will say I told you so. The bloke shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a position of power because of his past record. The fact he won't ever change just emphasises the point.

    It is perfectly possible to love the club, want the best for it but hate Cellino and his antics at the same time.

    Morning Eire spot on in regards to me <ok>

    I just try not to get too excited over a win and not too negative over one defeat.

    Fans looking for areas of improvement and discussing them are no different to the manager/coach. We do it on a forum, the coaches must do it behind a closed door.

    Monk said he would like to bring in two more players, this suggests he agrees after Tuesday we need better in certain areas.

    We have come quite a long way though, I forget who rightly pointed out that Murphy is seen as a weaker player yet not so long ago he was the marquee signing.

    Heavy Leeds Shirt - Not saying it didn't use to be true, not disagreeing with those great quotes (from an older generation) but I think it is down to coaches bringing players in who are signed for a position and style of play they are accustomed to then expecting different.

    I also believe changing the coach constantly bothers some players more than others.

    Did we ever see Wootton at CB? Take Becchio, great for us but joins other clubs and expected to work harder and chase the ball and what happens.

    I'm hoping Monk improves game by game, I'm hoping the team continue to improve or at least become consistent and if we finish 10th playing some good football and believing we are 1 or 2 players short of top 6 I'm hoping more than anything that Cellino decides to stick with Monk for a second season.

    Glory,

    I believe Billys request for you to not say anything at all is more to do with the fact you admitted you could not be bothered to read all that he had written but you still replied with a negative. How can you disagree with something you haven't even read?

    I am all for differing opinions here, that's the whole point of the place. Now please don't take this as an attack but more as a friendly piece of advice.

    In the years I've been on not606 you have been so negative for so long you are in danger of becoming a parody of yourself where your opinion cannot be taken seriously anymore.

    Again I believe we need the negativity and opposite points of view to balance the place out but comments like the one above admitting you didn't read the post before the doom and gloom answer do you no favours buddy.

    No offence taken.
    But I was the third person to be told the STFU. Both the others are not members of the darkside, this sanctimonious ****e like the "heavy shirt" bollix are just crutches for those that cant see how mediocre we now are to cling to.
    .
    Regarding me not reading any further than point I commented on I had two reasons.
    1. The point was so stupid that any other points being made in relation to or because of it were bogus.
    2. The last long rambling piece he wrote (under 23 match report, I gave him credit for. But it turned out to be a copy and paste job. Not convinced this is not a similarly stolen piece at least in part.

    You are entitled to see my views as not serious if you want, I will just point at the league position and say show me how we are progressing and wait for Cellino to have another hissy fit and wreck any progress you think is occurring.

    And, sadly, will probably die that way.

    And, in their lifetime, will come to realise the truth of this statement

    If some players find the Leeds shirt too heavy I wonder if they have considered short sleeves?
