Not sure what your point is. I thought Wilko was a
very good and very sucessful manager. Blackie is
neither.

I am finding it hard to think who would have done a
worse job. He spent more money than most , he had a
better squad than most but still managed to fuck up
when it mattered with shit tactics, shot signings and
playing players out of position. Interview with Marlon
King after the game on Sunday "I was played out of
position at Leeds". Interview with David Healy on
Soccer Am "I'm a winger at Leeds" - said
v.sarcastically.
For what it's worth if we're comparing managers in the
same league I reckon all 3 of the managers that got
their teams up would have done it with Leeds and
whilst we're on the subject I would be prepared to say
that Wilko could have done it too even at his old age.

Neither can I Paul. I am looking forward to next
season only because we will and should start as
favourites. The pressure is on. Getting stuffed by the
likes of Crewe, Sheff Wed and Brighton will no longer
be tolerated. No longer will we put up with "People
forget how far this club has come in 18 months - we
nearly went out of business you know". Blackwell will
have to change his tactics and his methods. If not I
predict he will be out of a job by Christmas.
Remember the prediction - Christmas he will be out of
a job , promotion or no promotion.
Let's see.
Cheers.
