.........not as a Leeds fan, so much as as a football fan: The fact that one club can keep so many quality players on their books (paying them astronomical sums no doubt), and rarely play them. Michael Owen probably earns more per week than all the 11 Leeds players. And also the other side of the coin..................they have the pick of the best young players from all over the world.
It all goes to show that what I have said on this list before (and been shot down in flames every time) is true: Ridsdale was right.10 years ago, the gulf between the haves and have-nots in football suddenly widened to an unbridgeable chasm. Leeds needed to get themselves on the rich side of that gap, and Ridsdale saw that and gambled. But O Leary scuppered the plan, and the rest is tragic history. On a more prosaic note, I am seriously worried about Snodgrass. With Max gone, he needed to really step up, but not only was he crap last night, his attitude was atrocious. TV watchers will have seen him telling Bromby to fack off when the latter was having a go at him for not tracking back before the first goal. And what about Bromby? He always looks OK to me, and I thought he wasn't bad last night, but Grayson doesn't seem to have any faith in him. I have serious reservations about White & Nunez. The former has speed and guts, but I fear lacks quality on the ball. The latter just seems to be unreliable. He produces some good stuff, and then the next time he gets the ball he will look useless. I really like Clayton, but I hope he doesn't start thinking he is Steven Gerrard. Glad to see that Brighton are playing a tough match tonight. 4 pts from our next two away games would be great! _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
