What makes you think he can't? Fair question, though, so I'll answer it. He fits the profile of the sort of player who makes a good manager: not the most naturally talented player, but one who managed to find his way in the game and carve out a reasonably successful career nonetheless. Players who fit that profile have often done so because they have been able to figure out what it takes to play the game efficiently. The ones who do so and can communicate that to others are the ones who become excellent -- not merely good -- coaches. I also believe that what we need -- along with getting rid of Master Bates and the tragically mis-named Wise -- is someone who is Leeds through and through and can inspire that same in the younger players upon whom we will have to depend. I think that Kells can do that. Michael Gardiner San Diego Whites In a message dated 5/11/2007 1:21:54 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Oh... my.... god.... That just about sums it up. Kelly. And what on earth makes you think that Kelly could manage a paper round, never mind a football club? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 May 2007 17:18 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Wise, Bates etc. In a message dated 5/10/2007 1:57:23 A.M.

Is it really so hard to see that if someone credible were to come in, buy the club and infuse capital -- treat Leeds United as the fallen giant it is...but a fallen giant that is getting back on its feet...there will be plenty of good options. We could start with names we all know. Would Eddie not be an excellent choice in the third flight? What about Kells? What about DOL? The fact that we're at least two seasons (and likely more) away from the Premiership opens a lot of possibilities.
