Bates is a leach sucking every penny he can out of the club. We haven't got a prayer while he's associated with Leeds a total disgrace to the fans.

We reorganised things since JANUARY.

Its the youth system, did you expect things to change over night?

Becchio and Somma are both good examples of how that system has worked out, you cant expect Leedsw to go into these markets (markets which most premiership, Primera Liga and Serie A teams are well established in) and expect us to sign a tonne of players.

The sad truth of the matter is that youthg systems have changed so much now since the days of Wilkinson that developing young talent if your are not in the Premiership is harder then ever.

In recent years we have lost talent to Chelsea and Barcalona amongst others. A change to the acadamy was needed, but dont expect it to be producing the next first team superstar any time soon.

Matty, stop putting words into my mouth.

Do you know who these Swiss and Italian players are who we supposedly have?

Don't normally delete comments but not in the mood for your arguing Matty.

If you are going to delete my valid point about the system we are putting into place then thats fine.

You have just shown that you cant take someone showing you your opinion is wrong.

I deleted your comment because of your comments at the beginning, Can''t be bothered with your arguing any more.

You deleted it cause it was a valid point that showed you up as wrong.

To think I actually use to respect you as a poster, not any more, I cant stand people who use any excuse to delete a valid point because it does not fit into their view of things.

Feel free to repost it without the bits designed to antagnoise and I won't delete it but whilst you try and antagonise I'll delete it regadless of what other point you were trying to make.

Not going to risk it, I aint retyping a point that you deleted as I believe you only did it because you had no response to the points it made.

Like I said, I used to respect you as a poster (and dont act like you have never posted any posts like the one I made), but I cant anymore.

I think its probably best if I avoid debating with you att all from this point on, as I cant trust you not to delete comments in the future.

Grow up and stop trying to wind people up and you'll be fine.

Good luck.

'Grow up'

Who deleted the post?

And while we are at it I see you avoid the 'and dont act like you have never posted any posts like the one I made' part of my last post too.

Simpl;e fact is you yourself have given it out plenty of times but through your toys out of the pram when it happens to you, so which one of us needs to grow up?

Please practice what you preach and avoid debating with me, thank you.

great we'll have great youth system and develop players that are sold for a couple of million at 20 and replaced with nothing

hero, have you heard anything about these Swiss and Itlaina players that Bates says we have, or know anything about these Eastern European links?

We seem to continually hear these stories but never see anything tangible.
