    I'm not sticking up for him but am sure JM has been asking for a left Back, no Dallas.. we've sold our 2 best players. Some of the players who brought us up are another season past their sell by. Have you got your rose tinted glasses on with the last months of MB, no denying he will always be a legend but just like Wilko's final months, his time was done...

    No rose tinted specs.

    No one will ever know but think he would also have kept us up. Orta and Radz wanted him out Kinnear didn’t.

    His problem was twofold - signing one year deals meant is was easy to fire him - and - two he made clear to take the squad further it would need significant investment. Once we got the injuries we did especially to Kalvin then the lack of midfield signings that summer hit us hard so the damage was done in the summer transfer window not later on.

    A cynic might think JM would be so delighted to take charge he wouldn’t care as much and yes I think they signed v good players but losing two greats for us and not spending beyond what was brought in.

    Have seen Leeds in the flesh under JM and MB and tactically JM is clueless not only in comparison but just generally. His readi g of the game and when/who to sub seems to often have no logic.

    Not in my opinion - he played a certain way and against the lower placed clubs we did pretty well - certainly had more points after same number of games.

    We then had 11 first team players out including key players and the squad was too thin to cope.

    I saw us play in the new year v West Ham in the league and tactically we were very good and he juggled youngsters incredibly well.

    Game two days ago v City we should have conceded at least 7
