Kenneth Bates

There, someone said it,


on a serious note, it seems people are starting to want to turn the screw on him again, personally i think our squad is good enough to win this league by 20 points anyway, and that recently the management and especially the players have been huge let downs,

missed the game on monday, gave my season ticket to one of the lads, i didnt even watch it on telly, normally id be excited about a game like norwich away, but now im a little pleased i didnt get a ticket,

we will turn this round, wont we?

No guarantee of that.

If we lose at Norwich and Millwall win then essentially we have an 8 game mini-league to win.

There were few signs on Monday that we vould do that. The whole club seems to be in disarray unfirtunately.

I hope your right but given what I have seen over the last 13 matches I don`t think we will.But I would liked to be proved wrong.

I disagree, we have been in desperate need of a holding midfield player all season, also a RB as Crowe is dire and we are light up front

With Becchio getting injured yesterday and nobody but an unproven striker in Grella or a 37 year old never was to bring in we're in trouble especially now that it appears Beckford is bang out of form

We chose to gamble in January and it seems that yet another season in League 1 is the price we'll have to pay for Bates continued shortsightedness

Yup I'd agree with that

Bates has dragged this club from relative oblivion to the depths of despair...Still, at least Leeds city may get a hotel out of it.

Putting the discussions about the past aside the only question that we really need to ask right now is -
Is Ken Bates the man to take this club forwards ?

The owners appear to think so.....

Well that's allright then. I assume that this is your meaning ?

It was tongue in cheek.

Well given the fact that each year we finish with a smaller number of points as the last (this year may well still continue that trend) then it appears he is taking the club backwards.

I can answer that. No!
