    Morning all,

    How far the club has fallen in such a short period of time. I am not a happy clapper but I always try to find the positive but today I'm struggling and that hurts.

    There is nothing new to say about the quality of football except I see no reason not to give Gracia the heave ho and let, well, anyone have a go. Can't be worse.

    I see Ayling has been attacked on social media because someone has posted a video claiming he says "**** em" about the crowd.

    I have seen the video and it is hard to tell exactly what he says or who it was aimed at but the original poster put the thought in people's heads and the usual idiots are giving Ayling abuse.

    I think there are a number of players who don't care about the fans and would say that but Ayling to me is not like that.

    Cancel culture is a load of bollox....but in this case it would be appropriate, the line 'were gonna see you win' in the Leeds anthem has been dropped as being totally inappropriate for the times <whistle>

    Wasn’t Gracia offered a huge keep us up clause/bonus and a very small salary. If we sack him we will have to pay whatever that bonus is. Doesn’t seem right to lump this on Skubala with Man City up next

    Try and get Bielsa back before he takes the Uruguay job. Doubt he’d want to come back though after the way he was treated.

    Worth a try though he’s probably too proud, humble and decent to want to get involved again.

    Would be my option too, I think it would need a few at the top to depart before he even considered agreeing to it.

    If we went down now with Bielsa in charge, I’d feel it far easier to swallow

    The downside would be another season of Bamford leading the line

    I just find him obnoxious and his early days in media left a lot to be desired. It was reported separately seemingly on gob news. He’s using his Twitter persona to have a go personally

    Even Leeds won't fire him until they find someone who'll take the gig on.

    Yes he’s obnoxious but surely he’s having a go at the Leeds players for ignoring the fans. And bringing it to the attention of a wider audience <confused>

    That’s a good thing right?

    For me, Dan James would walk into this team ahead of Aaronson and McKennie, even Rutter. He’d at least give 100%

    Let him carry on would be the smart move for rads. Then Garcia would take all the flak for the three monkeys up in the East.

    James would be fine for the 2nd division next season.

    For me, even though I hated seeing him up front on his own, he’d play instead of limp biscuit Bamford.

    Hindsight is great though, as I have to be honest, I’d have slated Bielsa something chronic if he’d turned down McKennie and Rutter in January

    Didn’t know much about Rutter but to me McKennie looked fat and overrated at the World Cup so would have been happy if Bielsa had turned him down.

    Couldn’t understand how the majority on here seemed ecstatic with his signing. Just presumed they knew what they were on about. Big mistake <whistle>

    Steady on... <yikes>

    I only time I've seen Rutter move was when he chased Fermino around the pitch to get hold of his match shirt.

    He was like a ferret up a drain pipe!!!
