Not necessarily so, winning the league didn't make Wilko a good manager nor did reaching the champions league semi make O'Leary a good manager. However being a good manager and being a successful manager aren't necessarily the same thing. > Stats mean bugga all in this league cos it's so shit. Stats mean bugga all in all leagues - by your reckoning Souness must be a good manager. I know you despise Blackwell and his tactics and guess what so do I. I have never been so disenchanted with a Leeds season as I have been this one BUT I can't name one manager who will come here and do a more successful job - can you? > You've put your finger on it in your mail.

Oh no, you recognise it and I recognise it - it's > time to move on but will Blackie recognise it ? You don't get points for being entertaining in this or any other league. It isn't a pre-requisite of success that a team must play exciting flowing football. You get points for scoring as many or more than you concede and that is it - you only have to score 1 goal more than your opposition to get 3 points and if you don't score and they don't either you still get a point. If you play lovely open expansive pass and move football and concede 1 more goal than what you score you get zilch - ask Glenda. Be prepared for another frustrating and disappointing season Rich cos I can't see Blackwell changing his 'successful' formula any time soon.
