Oh dear, oh dear. Didn't see the debacle at all, but it sounds horribly like my lowest point as a Leeds fan, being at Wembley in 73 where there seemed to be 90,000 Mackem bastards all singing jubilantly.
I have to reluctantly agree after that result that the Balckwell outers have a very strong case. The problem, though, remains.............which quality manager in their right minds would come to Elland Road? In a way, we are lucky, because there are some decent managerial candidates available (in that category, as well as several names mentioned recently, I would ask................what is Mickey Adams doing these days?) It has got to a point where I would love to see Curleybish installed, but I just think realistically there are two massive stumbling blocks: 1. Can we afford to pay off Blackwell (who like O'Leary just before he was sacked has just signed a new contract)?.....that would mean adding to the list of ex-employees we are still paying. 2. Would ANY attractive candidate be tempted by a package which would include not a lot of money (for his salary), no money to buy players, falling attendances, a notoriously fickle chairman, fans with massively unrealistically expectations, a place in the relegation zone........AND Rich Walker! I am no longer in the Blackwell In camp, but I still think the probability is that he will not be fired.
