The worst case scenario is that we go down and that Newcastle are one of
our fellow relegatees. They would have the financial clout to rebuild
their squad during the summer and would almost certainly grab one of the
two automatic promotion slots in 2022/3, to leave only one for us to
fight for.

Are there 3 other teams worse than us in this league? I would say yes
(Norwich, Burnley, Newcastle, Watford), BUT what are Newcastle going to
look like from Jan onwards? A hell of a lot better I reckon, and I think
they will pull away. So, we have to do better than Norwich, Burnley and
Watford. Can we do it? Touch and go, and much depends on how and when
our
injured players return.
Even if we do go down, we have some level of financial muscle with the
parachute payments, but MB will have gone, and who will we have? Do we
promote an MB disciple, and try to get a dynasty going, or throw it all
away and start with another journeyman manager? My vote is the former.
May
not work, but I think it is worth the risk.
Cheers

Weird to say that my thought on leaving the ground was how proud I am
to
be Leeds . The fans, all game, but especially last 10 minutes and the 5
after it finished showed how we are in fact special . Brighton were
booed
off after a 0 0 draw with us, I saw Everton players receiving so much
abuse
from their travelling fans they stopped half way to applauding them ,
scum
fans rushing for the exits with 20mins to go etc, and yet here we were
1-4
down being hammered following our biggest defeat in living memory and
yet
90%of fans stayed to the end and beyond with all four stands proudly
singing Bielsas name “ and we all love Leeds” - amazingLike many the
latest
covid outbreak made me ( or at least my wife) consider if I should even
go
- we compromised on me staying out of the pub to limit the risk , so I
could easily have come home wishing I had not bothered - instead I was
so
pleased to have been there not watching on tv
As for the match - we were hammered , with only 4 outfield players being
part of our best XI - Raph , Forshaw , Dallas and Ayling, with the
latter
two out of position, it was always going to be hard v a resurgent
Arsenal.
We made it even harder for ourselves as our experienced players had
nightmares , Klich the main culprit, and we kept giving the ball away.
The only good takeaways on the pitch were Meslier who kept it down to 4
and Gelhardt who has to become a regular starter
We will be stuffed by Liverpool and then come the games that will proove
if we are done or staying up - especially Newcastle and Burnley st home
,
win them and we will be fine , and if the fans stay behind them as they
were yesterday then with a few players getting fit we can win both
Not much else to say - once again Arsenal put 4 past us like they used
to
in Thierry Henry’s day, so who cares
“We all love Leeds “ enough said
Dave
