WHO IS THE DEADWOOD

He didn't turn on Lees, he criticised him for getting sent off. Managers do that all the time.

He talked Lees up and played him every week when most on here seem to run him down.

And he certainly didn't hang him out to dry because all the fans, some who don't even rate him, took his side.

Turning on a player or hanging them out to dry is what Grayson did to O'Brien, Connolly and Rachubka, and what McDermott has done with Morison.

Sorry but a manager is completely entitled to slam a players performance. You can't knock him for that. Why I hated was his carp about us deserving to win wen we didn't and saying Barkley didn't have a role to play

What's wrong with being positive? A lot of our games could have gone either way.

He did explain himself regarding Barkley. He said he didn't want to drop anybody after the Spurs game but he did as he felt obliged to play Barkley and didn't want to be in that position.

I think that's fair enough and he was only being fair to Barkley and the players under contract at Leeds. It was better to do that than do what Grayson did with Bannan/Livermore etc.

comment by bluememe (U2230):

"Would love to know how sone daft sods think nw could done any better in one season when he spent -1.6M after transfers. Had to sell to buy, wgat ater was going come here with all that was going on? Had us fighting for top six till becchio was sold.

With a team that got beat by team at bottom to start with.

No one would done better. "

Not even MON?!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

comment by Nanananananaa were gona finish 12th finish 12th, were gonna finish 12th (U9955)

"Sorry but a manager is completely entitled to slam a players performance."

A young player in public?

Really?!?!?!?!?!?!?

30 years ago, maybe.

The bottom line is Warnock knew what he was getting into and still predicted promotion. He made two fatal errors

1) the one year contract
2) slamming and selling Bacchus

That's the facts

Warnock did take over a team that had previously finished 7th and then yes, he did turn a team on the periphery of the play-offs into relegation fodder.

He proceeded to acquire players that weren't generally fit for purpose and the team was heading towards relegation with five games to go.

Warnock was a disaster. Left the club divided and demotivated.

I refuse to believe that there weren't better players available in last Summer's transfer window.

He said that he cant garuntee Barkley games, I listened to the interview and couldn't belive it. He coulda had atleast 8/9 games starting for us instead of Brown

Colin hated the fact that Barkley kept trying to intercept the hoofball passes to the centre forward.

Stevie, do you actually follow Leeds United properly?

You might as well say he took over a team that previously won the title.
