Response to Elland White's pessimism !

I have to say that the so called pessimism being shown by Leeds fans is realism and if the reason for no signings is that the club is Skint then AR and Co are not fit for purpose and should not be given so much
slack by some posting on here who seem to think AR is deserving of more time to turn things round from the right pigs ear he has made of things. How have we got no money? It doesn't add up and makes fans suspicious and wonder if there is dodgy stuff going on, money laundering or some other Bates like scam that seem to be associated with our club like flies round a turd.

I hope to AR is sorting out a plan to get us some decent players or sell us on to owners who know what they are doing because with less than 2 weeks to go till are opening match we are in my opinion a bottom six side.

I am holding on to the slight hope we will sign 3 or 4 quality loans from Man City and Spurs and that will at least give us all a boost but with silence coming out of Elland Road the omens are not looking very positive.

I don’t get why’d you compare to last season.

The bar should only be, is the side promotion winning

LIW, I don't disagree with you (learning to use double negatives like our president).

I compare to last season because with roughly the same players, bar the ins and outs I listed above, we were flying high through the end of September. The side wobbled, had some good results then had a poor second half of season.

If they can regain the confidence they clearly had in the first two months and can improve on that and the last half, then we can maybe earn an additional 12 - 15 points over the season.

While your old expression of what cannot be polished is true, a "good coach" should be able to improve players and get a team to play better.

If that happens, we may not be as badly off as many fear.

Of course 3 or 4 great signings would have put the team up a level or two, but the lack thereof does not necessarily mean disaster.

What do you think of the season ticket sales so far?

As it stands, the pin is pointing at ''concerned''

Stoke will beat this current side comfortably.

Stoke were crap last season, for most of the season. That’s why they’re now in our league. Why do we fear them? Burnley were much better and we turned them over in the Carabao cup early on in the season when we were on a high. Two more weeks left and possibly additional signings to come. We need to stop the negative waves.

Just for the record, Stoke's pre-season includes 3 German teams and Wolves. Now, who's going to be better prepared for the first game?
On the positive side, Stoke's pre-season has been a shocker so far - lost three games. Rowett has a lot of work to do.

There for the taking, they will be drained from those pre-season games,just as Croatia was drained for the England game.

Well, less than two weeks before we find out and end all the speculation, both positive and negative.

All we want is to see some intent, fans being rewarded, some progression.

Shaun, I never understand people who always have to compare Leeds to teams that come down, the Premiership rewards teams for coming down in a way that if they do things right it makes it very difficult for teams in this league!..

And yes, Stoke are one of the teams you always say shouldn't be in the Premier league!..
