FFS Dave, no that's wrong, again. You're right about the whether he should be manager now or not bit. As Raffe said, that's opinion and we are all entitled to ours, you and us. Noone is right or wrong when it comes to an opinion. However I like to feel that I adequately justify my reasoning for believing he should be given a chance, something I feel is missing at times from the other side of the argument.
If we are struggling come autumn, AS I HAVE SAID NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE, I will want him out too. Im not saying he should be given a full season. Im saying he should be given the chance this season, but if it appears that we are struggling then its time to get rid. You accuse me of being patronising, do you blame me? I don't think I can make my position much clearer, but Im continually forced to repeat myself on the matter. The main areas where we disagree are; 1. Whether KB should be manager now, ie should he have a chance to take us on this season. 2. The incessant picking of holes in every single action KB does and does not take, and using that as 'evidence' of his uselessness. Most of the time I take a devil's advocate stance on point 2. I thought it was pretty strange that Livermore was sold within a few days, however I did not automatically assume 'gee, that Blackwell is totally clueless, he doesn't know what he is doing'. I assumed that there must be a good reason for it, and, for me, the fact we had signed another midfielder who KB obviously deems a better player was a good enough reason. It wasn't necessarily good business, it wasn't necessarily bad business, it was business. I guess what Im saying is that I think a fair few people are cheesed off at the constant negative spin put on every single action that KB takes these days. You didn't see a barrage of emails when it happened saying "wow, KB is great, what fantastic business". What you did get was a reaction to the predictable "wow, this shows how clueless he is, what crap business" emails. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 August 2006 15:02 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LU] in ands outs You do have a spectacularly patronising manner Mark. What the 'argument' is about is a matter of spin. Another spin is: Rich and me think Blackwell should have been got rid of as manager. Mark thinks Blackwell should still be manager (whether you want to append "given a chance" is irrelevant, you either think he should be manager or not). If we are struggling come the autumn, Rich and me are right (we don't want to be, but we would be), and Mark would be wrong. We gave a Reid a chance as manager as we felt we ought to after he kept us up. That was proven to be a wrong decision. Anyhow, I'll take my bat home now, as this has run its course really and is getting too negative - we all ultimately want Leeds to win. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Humphries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 August 2006 15:45 To: 'Sean Emmott'; Woolmer, David (F&CM AMS) Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LU] in ands outs Thanks Sean, that's exactly it and hopefully its short and sweet enough for people to now understand what the argument is actually all about! - ******* This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
