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. __________
