"The main thing lacking when I left was pace – because I had to sell Robert Snodgrass."

Agreed.
His good form seemed to coincide with him being transfer listed. Fecking Bates!!!

He's right to respond to McDermott and he's right that he did leave a solid base.
Okay so Snodgrass was hardly blessed with great pace but when you think about it he was still probably the quickest, that's how much we lack pace!
McDermott has had decent money and brought no pace in, he hasn't even brought in players that are better than what we had already.
Warnock didn't say he left a squad capable of promotion, he said he left a solid base. That's why he mentioned icing on the cake signings, they're not free transfers, they're 1m plus.
Why aren't you making an article about how pathetic our manager is for trying to make out Warnock left a mess behind when he's relying on those players more than his own?

What utter and predictably written crap!
How much money was McD given and what quality, pacey player was (a) available and ( b) within budget?
The club can barely afford to pay running costs and is relying on loans to keep going.
Warnock was appointed short term to get the club promoted- something he claimed he could do. He failed miserably, had us playing some of the worst football in living memory and damn well nearly got us relegated - and probably would have done had he stayed.
McD is doing a good job so far. Given the lack of quality in the squad, it is amazing we are within a shout of the play off places.
Stop bleating on about fuc. king Warnock and how crap McD is and get behind the current managerial incumbent you moron!

He spent a million on Murphy.
Adomah went to Boro for the same money, he's a winger who's scored 9 goals.

Planks found its way back has it?..
LIW, its back!.
Evil Plank, a question, if Warnock is so good, why didn't he keep Graysons team and improve it?..

You tell us, your slagging everything Leeds, so, why didn't a so called better manager keep a better team?..
Snodder's, let go even though Warnock new he didn't want to go, not the best of leadership!..
Grayson, Beckford!..
Grayson forced our best goal scorer to stay until he was no longer needed!..
Warnock was happy to push ours as hard and as far away as possible!..
Warnock, taken on by someone that had a job to finish, and did a great job at helping!..
And you calling on people to make excuses to defend him!.
