And what will we hear from our lords and masters at LUFC?

[WTF11]

Club has endured many tough seasons, more than most. The 3-4 hard seasons i was referring too, was aimed at the MB era, changes / improvements in all areas, which resulted in not only promotion, playing some decent football, but also gaining respect from many non Leeds fans. Due to many, baffling board room decisions, in the space of a year, club facing the drop, massive changes & uncertainty, but has also become abit of a laughing stock, which the supporters & majority of players dont deserve.

I wasn't "picking a fight", when I responded to your post. The thread title is aimed fair and square at those who have brought us to this position, and that most certainly isn't the fans (nor, in most cases, the players), all of whom HAVE endured tough, rather rough seasons this last 3 - 4 years and for many before that.

But Radrizzani and the rest? In their executive boxes, private jets, high-powered meetings with the likes of the 49ers, the military juntas in the far east, etc etc. They have no concept of what it is to have a tough year, never mind a rough one, and certainly not for such experiences to span a decade and more. They ARE the ones who have brought us to this pretty pass, but they won't suffer any serious consequences.

Radrizzani hasn't the pockets to fund rebuilding and will sell (eventually), as will the 49ers who invested in order to reap the benefits of PL status, not to fund rebuilding. Both are likely to sell to another "fly by night" wanting to bask in the fading glory of a once great club, as no-one else will touch us with that very long barge pole I referred to elsewhere. Orta will pull a fast one on another unsuspecting owner, (as he did at Middlesboro, and LUFC) or he might "negotiate" a deal that sees us pay up for JKA and he gets a "reward" by way of a role with RedBull whatever their name is, Kinnear was going at the end of the season anyway, so he has his exit plan sorted. LUFC is left to what fate?

For the want of a nail, a horse was lost
For the want of a horse a knight was lost
For the want of a knight, a battle was lost
For the want of a battle the war was lost
For the want of a war, the kingdom was lost

All for the want of a nail.

Otherwise known as it was blindingly obvious Bielsa should not have been sacked and the problem lay with bad investment choices in this season’s squad.

Not really. Bielsa wasn't getting us where we needed to be this season, the cricket-score drubbings are evidence of that. He perhaps couldn't, because of the position the board took, we don't know for sure. Fact is, the Board are responsible for our situation, and yet (at the risk of repeating myself) they won't suffer the consequences of their actions, whereas the fans, and the players who remain after relegation, will.
