    Who knows, fed up with it all and certainly am not going to spend another night with heated debates on what is wrong with Leeds Utd.

    I should have just stayed away tonight, think it is time for bed, night all <ok>

    Inexperience on the pitch. Tried to do something different. First time ever I've heard McD sound like a beaten man, he has nothing left in the locker. I think Ross isn't the only one being affected, and whether at Leeds or elsewhere, I think Brian will doubt himself going forward in a way that he's never done in the past, as clearly there are circumstances when players can't be motivated. Shame, but I think he has to move on now, if only for his own future, and let's be honest - his signings have let him down.

    Is there anybody left who still thinks McDermott is the right man.
    If so please give your head a proper shake.
    That was abject from start to finish,
    Noël Hunt is a wage theiving pikey Cnut and there is something very strange about how beemacdee managed to get him £20k+ a week.

    Makes that 50 euro 'round' he bought per season looks bit miserly. Not just a lousy manager but a cheapskate tighta*se!

    Charlton's success owed as much to Hamer, who saved Ross McCormack's late spot-kick after Diego Poyet had shoved Aidy White in the area. Leeds, waiting to learn the outcome of Massimo Cellino's protracted £25m takeover bid, have lost four of their last five home games.

    "I've been in football 30-odd years and I've never experienced anything like this, I really haven't," said the Leeds manager Brian McDermott. "Both on and off the pitch. Someone's just said to me that people are saying I should resign.

    "Well actually, if people know what's gone on here and what I've had to go through, then to make that suggestion &#8230; They won't see me resigning, no way, absolutely no way. It's just a joke really when I think about that."

    "If I'd have come here and everything was stable and we had money available for players and everything was going right, then I could understand the sentiment behind that.

    "Probably I wouldn't be here. They'd have made a decision and when the new ownership comes in that decision will be made, whoever it might be. At this moment in time we haven't got that decision, so we need to get that quick."

    Leeds' coaching staff and players received only half of their March wages last week, and McDermott added that the managing director David Haigh went into the dressing room before kick-off in a bid to offer the squad assurances.

    However, McDermott said Haigh was not able to tell them when they would receive the remaining 50% of their salaries.

    "I'm not finding it easy," the former Reading manager added. "There's no doubt about that and it definitely tests you. I've definitely been tested. We've all been tested. The fans have been tested.

    "They've been tested here for 10-11 years. Someone said to me earlier on who'd been at the club a long time, this is as bad as they've seen it. But we've got to get through it because it's a great club."

    Possibly because the fans know that the players already have zero confidence, they are scared to death at the moment, and fans turning on them would be counter-productive.

    all this infighting... it's ridiculous =\ I'm done with the infighting guys. I've been one of the worst advocates of it and I'm sorry.
