Things flying around this internetty thingy suggests it could be very difficult for him not to sell!..

Thank gowd he's not Cellino or Bates, you could bet your life that either off those would crap it up!..

But than, if he was one of those the club wouldn't be in a state where anyone would want to buy!..

You’d trust Radz?

Aside from hiring Bielsa, I can’t remember a decision he’s got right.

Bielsa has bailed him out massively, and if he hadn’t kneecapped him in the January window, we would’ve been promoted EASILY.

Getting sick of everyone making excuses.

Why do you presume that we should be going up?

Lots of negatives in the past few months, and I don't believe the problems we have are ones that are easily rectified.

Bang on the money Hayemaker.nothing to add to that.

Radz last throw of the dice. If we don’t go up, he needs to sell.

excellent Haymaker.. how much you going to bid for the club then?

The man said himself if Leeds doing go up within 2 seasons of him being owner, he’d class himself as a failure.

Do you want an owner that classes himself as a failure?

Idiotic comment. Why are our fans so willing to accept failure these days and make excuses.

So, Bates or Cellino, which do you want back?..

I'm sick of people slagging AR off even though he has dragged this club up to where it is!..

People should look at things throughout the whole club and say what they think, because anyone that thinks its not improved since AR took over well, what do others say?..

They ain't got a feckin clue!..

Delete if you want, than I'll ask you on a separate thread to explain!..

oh, sorry, didn't mean to be 'idiotic', its just your asking somebody to sell a large business - I assumed you were going to buy him out..

chill brother, its a nice sunny day

Hayemaker - owners bigging up their aspirations is standard stuff, just like politicians making claims about what they would achieve if in power.

This isn't a question of 'accepting failure'. it's a debate on whether failure is a likely outcome.

What do you think puts Leeds ahead of the other teams fancied for promotion (e.g. Fulham, WBA, Cardiff) in 11 months time?

My frustration is that Radz promised promotion in 2 seasons, it hasn’t happened.

We have to sell in order to bring in new players.

We loaned out one of our star players mid season, and signed NOBODY.

Scrimped out of the Daniel James deal, because he didn’t want to pay upfront. He’s now on the verge of signing for Manchester United.

Could’ve sold 30,000 season tickets, ensuring Elland Road is full every week next season. Got greedy, thought he could charge higher match day prices if we got promoted, and it backfired. Imagine how those who bought the untransferable Upper East season tickets feel.

He’s got a lot more wrong, than he has right. We are still in the second division.

Needs to make a big statement this season that he’s serious about Leeds, and not another chancer.

I've said before and I'll say it again, what guarantee is there even with the x-dear players that people think we can afford, what is the guarantee we'd get promotion?..

Sometimes they don't work!..

Good players win games. There were weeks in last season where we barely had a back line to field.

We don’t have any wide players.

We only have 2 centre backs.

How can you not see the squad needs an injection of quality?

posted on 6/6/19

ar has done well compared to bates or cellino but are you actually happy with that. leeds is a very tasty commodity for someone that wants into the pl.
one team city with a great fan base, we are being bought out or at least i hope so as i don't think ar can really do much more.

This was his first full season, so, unless we can get promoted in half a season he's still got a bit off time!..

And he also said he had a 5 year plan, so, odd 2 years if true!..

"Scrimped out of the Daniel James deal"

Been done to death with the same acquisitions thrown in every corner, but hey, anyone can push the blame game in any direction they choose, but when they do, they're not always right!..

"Good players win games. There were weeks in last season where we barely had a back line to field."

We were third, crap play stupid defense, and a red card in our last, "maybe" most important game of our season!..

Players had it in their grasp and let it slip, was the the team or the Management at fault?..

"How can you not see the squad needs an injection of quality?"

Even the best teams in the world want better, I know we need better, but if we were the best I'd want more!..

On balance its hard to judge regarding failure

1) We didn't go up, but had our best season in a decade - Progress

2) He bought the stadium and we are rent free for now , albeit we will pay rent. But that is controlled by OUR owner not someone else - Progress

3) U18s and U23s are completely reinvigorated - Progress

4) World Class Manager - Progress

I would say, we are making PROGRESS, that is what you need to do in order to become a success.

Jonty, you are right, I'm thinking he's had the club a year and half!.....(how time flies!)

But, his plan was 5 years!..

posted on 6/6/19

Oh no you mentioned the 5 year plan.

...Go for it Jonty!

posted on 6/6/19

Rev, its not the first time I've mentioned the 5 year plan because that was/is his original plan!..

The rent isn’t controlled by someone else it was pre defined between club and landlord, we actually had visibility of that.

We have zero visibility of what AR is going to charge the club..

all very true. but the ultimate progress to be a success is promotion and ar doesn't seem able to do what is needed for that. can he take the next step without some help?

posted on 6/6/19

Haye is spot on. No more excuses. We're the biggest aide in the league by a decent margin and with the best manager and a decent settled side from last season, we really cant not go up imo. Last chance for Radz imo
