So I'm pretty bored tonight, and went on a quick trawl round the Leeds United webspace to see what the most cretinous of our fans are saying. You won't be disappointed with some of the knuckle-draggery below, trust me: Feel sorry for this thick fool. As if - push come to a shove - Cairns and Rogers would turn down a move to Norwich after being in Howson's contract situation. As if any 21st century footballer would. What a blindly optimistic Bates-loving joker. You earn a player's loyalty, it's not guaranteed. Bullshit. He was massively better this season in the deeper role, and you don't get 10 goals in this division for being average. We won't have got 2m - 500k up front as some papers are reporting and the rest in meaningless add-ons. Not that it matters, because the money will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! Naive. Why would you believe a congenital liar and crook? And why would you deliberately overlook everything that's going wrong at the club just because that slimy ****er of a Chairman says you should? How the hell have Palace got Zaha on a five-year deal then when it was virtually nailed-on that he could get a top flight move at the end of the season? Idiot. If you can convince a player we're heading for the top, and/or offer them a competitive deal (especially if they're a bloody Leeds fan), they'll stay! Yeah, let's just be positive the whole time. That's going to get us promoted isn't it? That's going to ensure the long-term financial viability of the club, isn't it? That's going to get us fair ticket prices, isn't it? It's time for NEGATIVITY and ACTION if we're to make Leeds United the greatest team in football once again. Not time to trot out old song lyrics to justify a Bates love-in with some ****y perspective argument about why it's somehow not bad that we've lost our captain and manager's favourite. Well I'd love to ****ing know how this will revitalize us. HEY! Maybe if we sell Snoddy that will revitalize us too!!! Great idea, chap!!!!! How stupid can you actually sound? How many inane, hackneyed, ruined cliches can you peddle with one post?! 1. Bates did not "save us", he did a dirty trick and took us into admin. 2. That does NOT mean he has some right to **** our club out of millions. 3. Even if it did, we have no reason to stay blindly loyal to him just for his admin trick. 4. When he was Chelsea chairman he said he wanted to DESTROY LEEDS UNITED. 5. Ridsdale/O'Leary is NOT the one alternative to Bates, you stupid, mentally ill moron. Christ, some Leeds fans make me angry. Why are these half-evolved ape-men allowed an opinion? If they can't see what's killing our club, do we have any hope of pushing our club in the right direction as a unified fanbase? Anyone got any quotes from Bates lovers which top the absolutely clueless BS I've managed to dig up just from a cursory glance on two of the obviously less-well-informed Leeds forums?
Im actually in agreeance with you, those guys are idiots and i pretty much agree with everything you said there. This may be the actual thing that turns my view on bates once and for all. There is no positives from this sale and there is no way anyone will tell me we couldn't have secured our club captain on a long term deal and me believe em
