yes he is one of our mifielders and not a bad one but too injury prone!!!!!blackwell has a squad the envy of many in our division and he has had money to spend on players such as healy hulse cresswell blake moore the fact is blackwell had more money to spend last season at leeds than neal warnock had at sheff united at the end of the day the buck always stops with the manager the manager is the one who motivates picks the team and decides the tactics. usually in any other line of bussiness if the manager can not ralley his troops head office sacks them or demotes them. another fact leeds have only won four games since march which in anyones book is religation form its clear the players and the fans are no longer behind him so the only option is for him to go

Well, maybe. I still think that sacking the manager isn't the only option, but sometimes it's the easy option. If I remember rightly you guys were relegated with debts in excess of £100m? That kind of position has crippled other clubs, with Notts Forest out of the league and Wimbledon out of existence altogether. Seems to me the fact you were in with a shot of play-off promotion last year was pretty good given the circumstances. If Blackwell doesn't get into the play offs this season then maybe let him go, but people are too quick to demand their managers get sacked when things go badly. How many times have Charlton complained about Curbishly for goodness sake?

If they appoint Wise, they can have my season ticket back.

I can't understand why a club as big as Leeds presumably thinks it is would appoint someone with Wise's track record. Curbishly seems the almost ridiculously obvious choice, but failing that there must be other managers in the 1st division or championship whose success at that level merits the opportunity to nudge a sleeping giant and say 'look, Leeds are on in a minute' aren't there?

Another decent result, I see. And really, you're still only six points off top spot anyway.
