I didnt tell people to spend there money at ER and nor did I blame them for the poor state of affairs at elland road. Also, not that it matters I said 5 times a year for the last 3 years and thats to no fault of my own What I did say was that IF there was a huge amount of people at ER then there wouldn't be these problems. I didnt blame the fans for this issue. Taking that quote out of context of a paragraph does make it seem the way you said it. I find what you say so ****ing frustrating because you dont get it and you go off on a tangent about something I didnt say. You have pissed me off no end only because you are unable to understand simple views
Yes, but I know that they have it in England and generally the person putting forth information has to provide the proof for it
But there would be these problems, we went into this season on the back of an average attendance of ~27200, which was rising towards the end of the season. There was a huge amount of people at Elland Road, yet we still had these problems. It was expected to rise over 30000 until people realised we were going to spend **** all again. We didn't get any of our transfer targets because the club refuses to compete. Any player worth his salt knows that pushing for promotion from the Championship with Leeds United is a better prospect than fighting relegation at a Wigan or a QPR, unless of course Leeds are offering bugger all money. Doesn't matter how much bates thinks a player is worth, capitalism works on supply and demand. Supply of good players is low, demand is high, so they are worth a lot of money. But he's doing it again, trying this failing plan of getting promotion quality players on the cheap. "we're cutting the squad down" and "we're going to use the youth players more" says it all. He's always harping on about how loan players aren't cheap, either we're getting mugged off on loan fees or they are a damn sight cheaper than getting a player on a permanent contract. The fact that a loan player isn't contracted to the club means it's a low risk endeavor. Not prepared to take risks because he's a coward. The writing was on the wall when the club decided to build a load of new executive boxes because a few corporate clients had complained that "the carpets were dull and the wallpaper was peeling". Refit the existing ones for a few thousand quid and spend the other 6.95 million on players. Doesn't matter how many people are in Elland Road, it makes no difference. That money is always going to get spent "building the club".
