Shameless c7p from skysports
More excuses from Blackie
Blackwell frustrated by funds
By James Pearson - Created on 14 Sep 2006
The Whites signed the likes of Kevin Nicholls in the summer for £700,000,
but cashed in on Rob Hulse to Sheffield United in order to boost the club's
coffers.
Blackwell has admitted his squad is currently too small, but that even
bringing in new faces on loan would be stretching the club's resources.
"The squad is paper thin and we've been trying to bring in loan signings,
but the chairman says the finances at the moment are quite tight," said
Blackwell.
"Two years ago, we didn't have a team to start with and we haven't been
afforded the finances to develop the club as I would like it to.
"As a manager, it frustrates me - and it's very difficult to accept - but
you have to. This isn't about Kevin Blackwell; this is about the safety of
Leeds United.
"That's what I did when I came in, was to save the club. But we haven't been
able to strengthen in the areas that we knew we needed to because we have a
financial burden."
Blackwell is currently under pressure at Leeds after the club slipped into
the relegation places on Wednesday following a 3-0 loss to Sunderland at
Elland Road.
