What position has he bought him for?He's played central mid, left wing and left back. Push white on and stick Pugh behind him. Give the new Finnish lad a holding position and let Clayton go forward. Snodgrass will have to keep his spot. Becchio and McCormack to start. Howson gets a breather or is kept as a sub should the new boy be shit.I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.Don't be surprised if Billy get 15 minutes. Weren't we trying to offload him here?

The sensible thing would be for leeds to start behaving like a football club and not a property company.Any chance of some ambition or commitment to improving as a football club and backing the manager. What puzzles me is the amount of backing bates gave blackwell.I understand the concept of "re-building Leeds United brick by brick" but I assumed it was a metaphor rather than literal.Grayson's win % as Leeds manager is 62.76% - with limited resources.Gary Mc 55.3%Wise 50%O'Leary 57%Graham 48%Wilko 52%Revie 62.12% over a whopping 740 gamesOl' Bacon Face has managed 1,400 games for Man U and his win % is 59% which suprised me.

Would be interesting to see how league tables would have panned out if three points for a win had been the norm in the 60s and 70s

Are you suggesting Leeds's financial muscle is head and shoulders the rest of this division - ie, on a par with the Barca/Madrid and Celtic/Rangers comparision you use?Figures produced by others on here would suggest that the problem isn't the wage budget, but the 500k per annum salary ceiling imposed by Bates/Harvey.

I would argue that our wage bill was signficantly lower proportion of turnover than other clubs - it's all relative. The fact we generate a significantly higher turnover should mean that we invest a similar higher proportion to wages and not strangle it. It's meant to be about progress and if you have the means to invest then you do so, not try and create a level playing field by investing the same/a little more than your competitors.This season we have spent fuck all. £100k on Lonerghan - lost max, lost bradley, lost 'killa', lost schmeichal and haven't spent relative to turnover - which is what businesses do to grow and compete. I don't believe we have invested money anywhere near the same rate as those in our league and while we struggle to compete, we have invested £7m on corporate boxes on infrastructure we don't own. Allegedly.
