Interesting points of view, but we had the last great English manager. (Wilko, for those in denial). The fans booed him and he got sacked because we slipped to 9th after Batty etc were sold behind his back.
No surprise then that Clough, before him, never got a chance at ER. The fans and owners preferred his predecessor who, it is impossible not to believe now, bribed the opposition and directly caused us to have the worst reputation a team has ever had. What's the point of a great team (which it was) if accompanied by the shenanigans and damage that went with it? Clough merely told a truth that was too hard for fans and players under Revie's spell to believe. Some of them still won't believe it. There is absolutely no doubt that Clough was the greatest manager of the 70s-80s. Possibly the best ever. But We got rid of him....and ended up relegated. Wilko was the greatest English manager of the 90s. a miracle worker, and we got rid of him too.... And ended up relegated. Both managers produced teams on honest endeavour, honesty and plain speaking - which incredibly is something Yorkshire folk claim to admire. But no, we knew best. They had to go. It appears to me that the dark times have gone. The rare occasions I go to matches sees a much more humble Leeds support. Or is that, when one sees Warnock roundly booed, wishful thinking? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
