And another link asking pertinent questions;

http://www.ihateleeds.com/2018/pathe...season-wasted/

Amongst which;

"When asked whether the Leeds squad is stronger this season than last, Andrea answered with a confident “yes, definitely”

Leeds have conceded 46 goals in 35 games; just below the total we conceded in the entirety of last season (47). This gives us a projected final number of conceded goals for the season of 60-61.

Last season at the end of February, we were in the playoff positions (ad were for a little while longer). This season we are in freefall with little or no indication that either senior management of playing staff are likely to change their direction of travel.

How the f00k can a supposedly intelligent, multi-millionaire businessman, delude himself (or attempt to delude others) into believing that this squad is in any way shape or form stronger than that of last season (unless of course he is referring to the sheer number of warm bodies that combined would be able to push a bus a bit further, a bit faster, than the squad from last season!!).

Mrs O might not know what Radrizzani expected form his "new line up", but I suspect the majority of fans could provide guidance, shame he won't take any of it now the chickens are coming home to roost.

My "personal investment" spans nearly 50 years, supporting the club I first attended when I was still at primary school in Pudsey. I've been a season ticket holder in the past (for nearly 20 years), something I can't now afford or justify, but I have paid my dues, over many, many years, and I won't be talked down to by you or anyone else (club owner and side-kicks most definitely included) about how I regard the club and how it is run, in the past, now and in the future, ok pumpkin?

I have absolutely no idea what the f00k your comments about Forex and or the Investors Chronicle are aimed at, I don't speculate on the foreign exchange markets, and I'm not wealthy enough to do so in areas of stocks and shares, and just why should I read Banking Regulations from this year or any other, please do tell?

And the reference to shoes instead of trainers, have you been taking something "recreational" before you posted?

As for running a UK football club, I don't profess to have any such ability, I simply ask some fairly straightforward questions, about statements made by our club owner that are patently untrue to and such is obvious to anyone who wishes to examine the state of our 1st team squad this year, compared to that of last season. As for running a UK football club, you think growing the player wage bill by £7m in a year, and at the same time achieving mid-table mediocrity compared to just missing out of a playoff place last season is the sign of a sound management?

I suspect I'll get more obfuscation, opacity and gobbledeegook in response, as straight answers are about as forthcoming from you as they are from Radrizzani and his entourage.

[MrsORichSenior]

Ehh, what success is that?

Top 6th at present Billy - not bad on their bleak financial debts too.

Take note also that 'Fans initiatives of direct pressure' forced the Bristol board to listen and back down on Season ticket hikes .................. Fans have a voice IF used.

Bristol City presser reads .............. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/...hanges-1288281

The statement sent to Football Supporters Federation reads : Following consultation with the Supporters Club & Trust, we can confirm that an Under-19s and Under-12s price will now be released for the Lansdown Stand lower tier.

Under-19s will be able to purchase season cards in the Lansdown Stand lower wings for £150, working out at just £7 per game, whilst our Under-12s will be able to purchase for £99 (£4 per game), with a free replica shirt.

For tickets in the central blocks a £199 season card is available to Under-19s (£9 per game), whilst an Under-12s ticket with free replica shirt for £150 is now on offer – this works out at just £7 per game for some of the best seats in the house.

Extending the popular Family Area in the upper tier of our biggest stand is part of our overall desire to make this stadium one of the best fan experiences on matchdays, for all ages. We look forward to announcing the plans for improving the family matchday experience further.

Are you just wanting to rub salt in the wounds Mrs O?

We get a new one ripped when we come up against this club, they are where they are not because they have spent a fortune, but have invested wisely, they play as a team, they must wish they had a fan base anywhere close to that of Leeds, and here we get a press release from them, ON OUR BOARD???????

Have a look at twitter on the attempts by Leeds to encourage folks to come out on a wet, cold Wednesday evening, to shell out their £30-£40 to watch a team that has failed to turn up repeatedly of late. As I say, salt in the wounds.

When will you constructively criticise the actions of our club management?

[MrsORichSenior]

WTF11 -

What,when and how I convey any issues with the club is confidential.

I mediate with many clubs in UK & Europe regarding fan related matters - many which are resolved satisfactorily.

For balanced dialogue both parties to issues must be receptive - mutual awareness to supporters feelings has to be presented from all points of view (including yours) and likewise from those who do not share your veiw.

Fans do have a voice and some clubs listen - our owner does listen and works hard to find solutions to fan concerns which cover a broad spectrum.

I of course do have very strong views on matters regarding the club I support but my role does not allow me to publicly voice them BUT I can voice views of other Leeds supporters over varied issues that I can assure you are seen.

Very rare I comment on players but now and again I do with the hindsight of known facts may I add.

Also I am a member of other Forums too and many people express views to me direct via pm's - many from other clubs over related matters which again I would like to share but cannot.

ALAW - MOT

You may mediate, and you may have a relationship with Leeds which precludes certain responses, my point was that in the midst of what can only be described as a crisis in terms of player performance and fan support (have a look at twitter to see how the message about tickets for the Wolves game has gone down, some included here;

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/we...latest-update/

I just wonder how the news emanating from a club who recently showed us how a well-run and responsive club can perform could do anything but exacerbate what is already a sensitive time?

I'm not saying we shouldn't discuss, but amongst the matters regarding over-priced tickets at most Leeds home matches, the willingness to fleece away supporters with prices that are well in excess of the cap placed n such tickets by PL clubs etc etc and the diabolical performances on the pitch, is it wise/necessary to show us how much better it can be done elsewhere (and by a club that "Mighty Leeds" would once have looked down on from a very great height)?

I look forward to hearing more from our management as to how they would like to show they are listening to those who pay their salaries.

I can fully understand those opinions but plenty will still go regardless .........

In fact I got back home and found my car dinted by somebody who'd parked up so bloody close I had to get into my car via the passenger side door like the Dukes of Hazard's TV show ......... not easy in woolly tights !
Airport couldn't give a monkey either but hey ho another experience following the Mighty Whites .....
