Mike, Players say no to clubs all the time, thats how the transfer system works.
I doubt we did any harm by selling Schmichel, he was a player with one year left on his contract who was patently not going to stay beyond end of it, bringing in Man Citys reserve goalie is hardly a signal to the world of great intent in- also if he had any real reputation in the game, given that we were prepared to let hm go for a million, surely one of the middle to lower Premier clubs would have taken a punt on him for that sort of money if there was anything abut him - the fact he's gone to Leicester says it all, hardly a forward move for his career (maybe his pocket). We are no longer "desireable" as we are a Championship team and therefore other clubs are above us in the pecking order and if we do somehow get back to the top level, short of a Roman moving in we'll still be less desireable than Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and lots of other clubs. That said we still are an attractive side to a lot of players and managers should Larry move on. Still don't trust the Maligant Stoat though :-) Sarge -----Original Message----- From: Dr Michael Benjamin <[email protected]> To: Sean Emmott <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 4:41 Subject: Re: [LU] Oh dear AKA Trouble at Mill My worry is the overall message that has been received and is now seemingly 'an accepted'. Leeds are a team that you say no to. Too many people have said No. So that makes it trendy. We are no longer famous or even desirable. We are at the stage where there is a 'something is wrong factor'. I wonder just how much damage we did in the footballers community by selling Scmeichel as we did. It was a big plus bringing him. A sign of intent and status. I fear that the opposite is working especially when we are making a real sow's ear out of replacing him. The whole episode has been bungled in a way reminiscent of Professor Plum's eon. The only difference was the pocket where the money ended because of the act. Sinking into a state of worry. As things are we are more likely to be fighting relegation than promotion. God help us if the Malignant Stoat drags into another off field crisis, which is not beyond the realms of probability. The bastard Bates has run his course.
