    " can you think of anyone connected to LUFC I think is doing a good job"?

    Can I pose the same question to the rest of you now.

    The manager has lost the dressing room, his tactics were crap today, to play both new starters looked like panicking, to do it and not have two ball winners in the middle was clueless, and not to start with the target man up front almost looks like a fool is running things.

    Stewart and Kebe are either unfit or crap. Smith was a dick head.

    Nice to meet shaks but apart from that today was the most worrying for a Leeds fan for many a year. I really don't know what McDermott is trying to do.

    One thing for sure Haighs takeover twittering is only serving to destabilise the team. If he don't shut up he will see his investment tank. One last thing they should refund everyone who went today.

    Nope we were rotten from the top down when Bates was in charge with Warnock and we are not much better now.

    Brian WILL be sacked before the end of Janaury, we will have a team of his deadwood along with Warnocks and a wage bill that needs trimming suffocating the life out of us and any new manager that dares give it a go.

    I said in a previous thread, lucky Stewart and Kebe are on loan, at least two pieces of deadwood we don't have to keep.

    Sorry glory, McD has not lost the dressing room ... we are still paying for Bates/Warnock/Grayson ... once we have the dross off our books we'll be able to rebuild ... too many rubbish players in the squad and its showing yet again ... McD is a terrific manager and he will get it right given the time ... Stewart has signed long term, Kebe gets a contract if we're promoted ... its tough being a manager when you've got utter tripe to work with, and getting us to 1 point within playoffs come January was a tremendous effort by McD ... sh1t happens, it happened today but I still have faith in McD and the board and it will come right, we just need to squeeze the last bit of Bates' poison out of our blood and all will be well again

    He won't be here in February because we will get tanked next week and that will cause Whichever snake oil salesman is owning the club at that point to call time.

    David Haigh has done nothing wrong the best you lot can come up with is you find his tweets annoying. So far you've judge 2 new players on one game and made major assumptions with no credible evidence apart from your gut. David Haigh and co have been responsible for some of the best transfer windows since we was relegated from the Championship and perhaps Premier League (Murphy £1m, Wotton £1m etc prehaps if Bates hadn't sold of our next couple of seasons worth of ST profits for the East Stand we could have had more) as well as some fantastics free signings (Smith, Stewart, MZ) sacked Bates and Harvey (Bates spy at TA), boosted attendances, encouraged local children to support their local side with free tickets etc and all you can do is winge that his Tweets are annoying. Seriously? Way to concentrate on the important stuff.

    You would have some credibility if you actually went to games. Sorry mate but you can't see the big picture from the HD in front of your sofa.

    Quite funny because I was at Hillsborough today, I was also at Spotland Stadium and am a season ticket holder in the Kop.

    EDIT- And even if I wasn't would that make your vandetta against David Haigh due to his 'annoying' Tweets anymore credible?

    Murphy Waste Of Money
    Wootton - IF £1m a waste of money
    Hunt - Waste of wage
    Smith - Joe average still sticking by my bet he won't get into double figures
    Stewart and Kebbe - They can't get worse than that so maybe that is a positive

    We were only in the play off's because we had a string of 10 or so games against teams in the bottom half of the table, we played one team in the top 10 and we lost to them. Even a fool could see it was a false position, a season doesn't lie, when we end up 12th maybe then some of you can say no improvement has been made on the pitch.

    "Harder to break down", "more solid", "better defending", "no longer can teams push us over", "we don't roll over", "we have fighting spirit", "We have sorted the defence out" - I have seen all these statements, honestly, if anyone still believes any of those statements they are dillusional.

    Apologies. However do you sit facing the big green thing or do you stare at the roof.

    Ok. Explain the purpose if his tweets, cos obviously I am not as bright as you and must be missing something.

    If that your reasoning behind every fan that doesn't believing sacking the manager after a month of bad form is (after several months of very good form) is a smart idea or makes ridiculous assumptions without a single piece of evidence (McDermott lost the dressing room) or judges players on a single game?

    And as a high profile businessman good PR is essential and most of his tweets are announcing standard club news (partnerships etc) or saying thanks to fans that have tweeted him. I suggest you stay off twitter if you think there annoying.

    The will be no evidence till he goes then ironically twitter wil be full of inside information on what has happened in the last three weeks.like you I form an opinion on what I perceive to be happening. Let's look at a fact. How many points did we have at this stage last season? I don't know the answer btw.

    I don't go on twitter I only see the stuff one of the clowns posts here when they wet themselves over a tweet that says nothing of consequence.

    Murphy and Wootton are young players with little to no experience of Championship football to call them wastes of money after half a season at Leeds will come back to haunt you (I'm sure you was one of them who though selling Clayton was a smart idea as he'd had a poor 2nd half of the season but who is now playing great for Town). Smith- with 3 goals to go and half a season left I'd put money against you and for a freebie he's scored more than Ashley Barnes. And after half a season by which we was in the play offs we'd already played Burnley, QPR, Leicester, Derby, Forest, Brighton (the current top 6).

    So by your own admittance you haven't even been on David Haighs twitter account yet you used it to continuously bash him?

    I bash him for the stuff that is reported here. Or are you saying someone is fabricating these supposed tweets. Twitter is not and never will be an appropriate mechanism for an executive to pass information to its customer base. Sometimes silence is golden. Btw has the to gone through. I rest my case.

    Really? I think a hell of a lot of executives are going to disagree with you there! Social media is the new big thing in PR and every executive and his mum is communicating to his customer base directly these days.

    I am struggling to see how anyone can see the events since Barnsley as anything other than unacceptable. Something is causing it, and the to and the tactics seem the biggest possibilities at the minute.
