except it's perfectly reasonable for a club like Leeds to be expected to be favourites to win it. The only reason we're not is lack of investment because Bates is tighter than a nuns asshole. And poor coaching. Whoever is the defensive coach needs sacking and needs a banning order, disallowing them to get a job in coaching, indefinitely. At the start of last season I basically said I don't mind if we don't go up because I had full confidence that investment would have been made afterwards and we would be strong all round and favourites to go up. But of course, "if blackpool can do it so can we". He saved Leeds United, you know? TL;DR - Bates is a ****.
