    You need both,a couple of hard men,which then lets the footballers play.

    The more I hear about Radz's other business interests the more I'm becoming concerned that we are not his priority. He came in all guns blazing last summer but since the downturn in form it's gone very quiet and he no longer seems to be attending matches. Is it possible that having raised his profile significantly since acquiring us that his main purpose has been served and we are now on the back burner until he decides otherwise.

    What you really want in an owner is someone who is 100% committed on a daily basis, moves to live in Leeds, perhaps even moves his family to live with him in Leeds. Appoints an ex PL manager and then follows his advice to sign quality players with top level experience on their CV which then moves us into play off contention. Actually gives interviews and talks to the fans and not just communicate through carefully worded press releases. Maybe have 20 years experience of running a football club and have a genuine love of the game.

    Why are we so unlucky never to have an owner like that ?

    Agreed mate but we would need to purchase the hard guys, as I doubt any of what we have have it in them( perhaps Vieria but he needs to be cleverer)

    Morning all. Coopers not good enough even as a squad player. He only gets a game cos Bartleys gone. The majority of our team are five foot eight lightweights that any team could and did bully. Try buying a few men this summer maybe instead of farts

    Spot on Eire

    Monk only played Cooper in cup games or when was required due to injuries/suspensions
    Our players made his captain, straight away I smelt a rat that stank of softness throughout the whole club

    Last season Jansson was a danger in the oppositions box as they had Wood, Bartley & at times Doukara to mark, now all they have to do is ensure Pontus is covered & we are easy meat to defend

    Every game I say we look like a team of midgets in comparison to the opposition

    You can have Gunnarsson on a free - he's out of contact in June. No harder and committed player in this division and a battler of the type that'll get you out of it. Maybe he'd want too much dosh given how his profile has gone through the roof with the Iceland success, but you wouldn't go far wrong with him in the middle of the park for next season.

    He was offered a renewed contract with us but declined to sign as he wanted to see where we'd be next season and what other offers came in. He might just have missed the boat and not be offered anything if we do go up as we may look elsewhere for a different type of midfield player.

    Think he was hoping for a big bucks contract from abroad because of his Iceland exposure, but maybe worth a decent wage offer as he'll be free. Been with us for 7 years now but I think he's still only 28.

    Apart from his goals,Wood was a big lad who didn't get bullied.

    He says we have learnt from it since millwall?
    So come on then... Where have you noticed any evidence of learning and consequent improvement?














    In answer to the response to the answer you are going to give......... Stop talking ****e and accepting the pr bollix this team will never be good enough to compete they haven't got the attitude or ability to put right the obvious problem of lack of bottle and fight... If every last one of them left and we started from scratch we would be better than whats going to happen unless rad either ****s off or invests a huge sum..... Signing paddies from the bogland amateur league division 5 isn't going to fix it and is yet more evidence of whats wrong....

    He might not be playing in the World Cup let alone having a **** one. He certainly won't be for our last game on the weekend - had an operation on Monday to remove some floating cartlidge from his knee.

    Should be OK for Iceland's first game in about 6 weeks but that's not a given at the moment and he'll have to see how his knee reacts in the short term. He'll be OK in the long term though - he's as tough as nails.

    No he didn't say any such thing,you made that bit up.He said he thinks some will learn from this season.
    The evidence that I said you missed was us getting bullied like Cooper said,which has happened in most game,the rest as usual you made up.<doh>

    I haven't missed that and will see it again on Sunday.
    He said "this season had taught some" and from what most of us are able to see (but you as an apologist can't) is we have learnt **** all and are actually worse not better over time. That's why we slid down the table and why the lads will be drinking free beer paid for by you on Sunday afternoon..

    I wasn't going to do this (because it is like stealing your money) but I am happy to wager any sum you care to mention that if Rad, Orta and hockabottom are still here in October we will be relegated at the end of next season.

    There you go again,making **** up.

    Cooper says that with hindsight the Millwall game showed Leeds could be bullied and teams worked out how to play against them. Thinks this season will have taught some in the squad how to cope in the Championship. #lufc

    Does it say we learnt from it and are now playing better.NO IT FOOKING DOESN'T SO STOP MAKING IT UP
    ps RAD WILL BE HERE PH WONT BE,HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO BET.

    So you are clutching at the straw that being taught doesn't mean we have learnt. That actually make some sense in your case.
    Every day you are taught but never learn. It is customary that once taught those being taught will have learned... Jeez is it too complex for you?
    I will see if I can find some pictures that might make it simple enough for even you to understand...

    The offer of the wager was on the basis of the set up described. We can consider alternative scenarios should they occur.

    You've seen,watched,were taught by the great Leeds teams how to play football,but I've never seen you out there,because you can never learn to be that good,so no it doesn't mean the same thing.Have a word with Mighty,see if he will draw you some pictures <doh>.And the bet offer was all powder puff bluffing then.<laugh> thought so.

    I have indeed watched but only Captain Chaos is making claims of being taught and thus far only you seem to believe him....
    #apologist
    Are you on rads payroll as bullshitter in chief?

    P.S I already gave an example of being taught but not learning.... Keep up ff



    P.P.S I look forward to hearing how you handed marcos this years installment..
    You seem to be in a hellfire rush to give me more but I am going to savour the moment.
    Should we have another wager it like this years needs to be one that gives you at least the sniff of a chance for as long as possible.

    Bullshit and made up lies again,go back and highlight where cooper says he has been taught.Just answer the question this time,and leave out the bullshit.
    Hope you have made arrangments to pay up after the game on Sunday.No sneaking off without paying up.
