At the end of the day the club is in a better state than it was when he turned up and that's why it's worth 3.5x more.

Some say he's a stupid potless chancer and clueless businessman.

If half a billion is potless what are we?

And if he's a clueless businessman how useless am I?

Very easy for fans to be hyperbolic about mistakes and the armchair fan telling everyone how easy it would be to score a penalty in the cup final has now become the armchair owner telling everyone how easy it would be to make £500m, buy a club, and get them into Europe.

Well sir, why haven't you done it then?

I wouldn't even know who owns the club tbf - makes no odds to how many wickets we'd get, or how many sensational cover drives get through to the boundray

Yes, I've been a fan since the early seventies and have also seen the ups and downs before but I think, after all the changes we've seen in the game, after all the years of us struggling in L1 and the Championship, and then overdosing totally on the brilliance of Bielsa, I've become more of a hostage to my feelings. This drop seems to resonate more loudly somehow.

...Jaz it resonates because unlike 2004 where there was a total financial meltdown, this was totally avoidable and millions were wasted on some bizarre recruitment decisions.

Bang on, Very Rev, but it's a bit more complicated this time for me personally - I'm 60 on Sunday. When we went down in 2004, I could see it would take time to recover but I had plenty of time to wait. This time, we've got to get back up sharpish - if it takes another 16 years I probably won't be here to see it!

Jaz your speaking to someone who was a kid in the 1960/70s so I do understand and have wondered the same - anyway welcome to the 'experienced' club!

I mentioned Newcastles footballing decisions in my response above. Think they heard me …….

“Leeds United name Nick Hammond as interim football advisor. Three-month deal to oversee this transfer window.

Occupied similar role at Newcastle in Jan '22. Leeds reviewing recruitment department before replacing Victor Orta long-term.”

Two things I've learned from being a Leeds fan since 1970.
1) When we get relegated, we stay relegated.
2) As bad as some of the decisions we made around Rutter and JKA were, we have the unerring ability not to learn from our mistakes. Remember Thomas Brolin and Seth Johnson, anyone?
Fasten up, it's gonna get bumpy, boys and girls.
