There are a few things I wish would happen around the club (aside from winning the odd game!). 1. Put a stop to the patronising sh*te questions from Eddie Gray after games - McD should just say he's not going to bother. Christ, it's not as if Eddie Gray had the answers when he was manager! 2. Break links with the old guard - no more Lorimer, Gray around the place. By all means trot them out for parades etc, but it's pointless harking back 40 years to Bremner etc. That is never coming back! 3. Financially, the club has to go back to basics. Stop renting Thorpe Arch (if they're not tied in for hundreds of years); renegotiate Elland Rd lease. 4. Stop kidding ourselves we're a big club. We have no assets in terms of property, almost zero in terms of players. All LUFC has is a place in the League and potentially a following large enough to support a medium size football club IF managed in a financially-prudent fashion. 5. Somehow get Leeds City Council to buy the ground - Leeds as a city should have strategies in place which maximise LUFC - having a stable ground ownership would be a very big deal I'm hacked off, really hacked off with it all. Cellino is a loose cannon and whilst it might be fun, it'd hit the buffers within 2 years. Will we find out the Yes/No today??

Great day out.
