You go and have a lay down dear, if the excitement is too much for you, you shouldn't be using a computer.

16% increase on tickets and you get the ambition we've shown

Crowds will go down and by a long way if we dont start well

BBK, this confirms for me that Bates thinks Leeds fans are both idiots and gullible. How else can retaining two of your players be spun into new signings. The world he lives in is a very, very dark place.

WW, really like what Lonnie said. Welcome him.
Hope his Daughter gets well. That is the worst time
for any parent. He's got my support.

I dont think his daughter can get well. I believe she has an irreparable degenerative disease needing constant treatment. It throws a whole new light on his decision making process.

One question, if I may be so bold.

Do you think if KB sold Mr Gradel and Mr Snodgrass that the effect on the dressing room and player harmony would be the same as if we kept them?

Captain, I had no idea. That's tragic. Poor little tyke.
Now he has my support ten-fold.

Eric,Gradel,Snoddy and Becchio carried the team last season at times.
To move on we have to add quality.
I can assure you this present squad will not bring promotion and that is my goal.
If Gradel and Snoddy were sold it would destroy the fans leaving Bates with many problems.

It makes the whole are we able\unable to compete this season look a bit silly.

Playing Devil's advocate, how would the fans react if one of the two were sold to bring in 3 quality additions?
Who would you be least upset about leaving?
That's with the understanding that SG gets the money
like Ipswich did with the Wickham money.

That's not what I asked you?

I agree that the fans would be affected.

I am simply asking whether you think team morale would be the same in either event.

Keeping both players and not cashing in on them has surely got to be something the other players need to see.

In my opinion, although not worded in this fashion, that is what KB is getting at.

I have said on many occasions that we need to improve and add to the squad. I am not disagreeing with you on that point.

What Eric means is that selling for 'football reasons' is one thing but selling when we dont need to sends out the wrong message to the players.

batty, enough income from Delph,Milner,cup cash etc has been generated to add players.
Was that cash used for players?
Why expect the Gradel?snoddy cash to be used?
Also the most expensive STs in league and biggest fan base.
Bates is taking the ----
