<sigh> Taking your assertion he has spent more than anyone in the league - cant be arsed to check, he has also sold more.
Net value of playing squad is a lot lower. What if we get promoted Rich, are you prepared to accept KB as our manager in the prem league? By your reckoning if he is a crap manager in this league, surely you think its even worse having him as our manager in the prem? In other words, you would have sacked him regardless of where we finished this season. Why not say that instead of trying to justify your opinion of him? For me its all about performance in the league, the circumstances he has had to work under and also my expectations after we got relegated (ie half expecting us to go down again, and when we didnt, for this season expecting us to maybe scrape a playoff place but being significantly worse than the top sides). Reading have walked away with the league and yet over the 2 games we were arguably the better side. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:leedslist- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Walker > Sent: 27 April 2006 13:49 > To: Tim Leslie > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LU] RE: Leedslist digest, Vol 1 #103 - 4 msgs > > Well, unless your mates with someone inside the clubs > (Preston or Leeds) then you're guess at the > 'undisclosed fee' for Healy must be just as much a > guess as the 1-1.15M. > Anyway, I think it doesn't really matter, all that > matters is he has spent more than any other manager in > the league.
