Aren’t we all expecting revolution of the squad rather than evolution? Admittedly we need a couple but a good manager should get more out of last year's team than Colin plus the couple of new signings
Is it really a good idea to bring in 6 or 7 new faces like we always do. It never works I guess there isn’t the cash to spend, that’s the same for many clubs, GFH have spent money, more than Bates, they have got rid of him and like people have said there is a positive air. We will always need another signing but if this is it is that so bad? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brendan Osborne Sent: 31 July 2013 16:31 To: [email protected]; Leeds List; David Nattan Subject: Re: [LU] Best quote from Salah in his interview Mike, I read it differently. The Club and the Business are separate in the eyes of the owners. The club stands for the history, tradition and ethos that is Leeds United football club, whereas their interests are purely in making money. Therefore they are happy to call us the de facto owners of the Club. Making money in football is aligned to a happy support base, so if you make statements like this, and sack Bates, and remove all his sundry negative business alliances with the club, reduce ticket prices etc etc you encourage people to come back to Elland Road. This is borne out by the statistic that we will have our biggest opening day crowd for several years, despite the lack of (huge) investment in the transfer market. A large regular attendance boosts the coffers (and possibly the transfer budget) and makes us a more attractive prospect for a potential investor. So where you might read the statement as flim flam, it is not without purpose. I salute the fact that they recognize the fans at last - we've had years of Bates p*ssing us off, so it's a welcome change. Ultimately it cost NOTHING to make such statements so why not?
