Let's be under no illusions, either: if he struggles to sell the club, those struggles are of his own making, not ours. He's the one who has to make the sale attractive. There's nothing we as fans can do about that, other than showing the potential.
Its as much for the prosective buyer to make the deal as it is for the seller. I would happily sell my business if someone walked off the street and offered me the right price, about 50% more than its worth. The onus wouldn't be for me to drop my trousers unless I was desperate to get rid. McCabe seems to think the same.

I do know that while we continue to limp along, trying to do things on the cheap, ignoring the potential and being unwilling to compete, we're going to achieve the square root of sod-all, and all the good work he's done helping to build the fan base through affordable ticketing will be for naught as the fan of tomorrow will be going to the likes of Barnsley to see big name players.
The last three managers have all been well backed including CW, who didn't spend all the money given to him in the summer. I can't accept that we don't want to compete, unless your definition of competing is spending money we don't have.


Think about this: Leeds have had some pretty torrid times, but they've had some amazing highs as well, and they're currently just one point behind us in the league. Would you exchange the years of boring stability and our slow descent into utter mediocrity for what they've had, given that - in the long run - it's led to pretty much exactly the same place? That's a genuine question, by the way, and I'm not sure of my own answer there. It's something to consider, though. We might, as a club, be so scared of failing that we never actually try to succeed, and so seal our own fate.
Leeds United in the last 20 years have been a basket case. They've had an extended stay in L1. Done nowt in winning things, not sure what their 'amazing highs' were. As you say, they have had incredible turmoil, chopping and changing and managers and owners coming and going each one more corrupt that the last. What has been so great about Leeds United that we should aspire to?
