Anybody happy or even

Satisfied about the club and where it's going.

There seems no plan regarding transfers, just scattergun approach.

I don't really get what monks plan is apart from player as many players out of position as possible.

Have people opinions changed in the last two months, a lot were happy not long ago.

I don't get how anyone can be satisfied because there no hope of getting promoted anytime soon

Tyler Denton & Dario Meadows, for example. Future prospects, but we need established players. If these these youngsters shape up into decent players, they'll leave the club after a couple of seasons in the first team and we're back to square one.

At the risk of repeating myself, Leeds will not get promoted until Cellino is gone. Sacking managers every few months, selling our best players and signing quantities of largely mediocre players is a guarantee of failure.

Monk is inexperienced but even if he was a gifted manager, he would struggle at Leeds under Cellino.

In the longer term I worry about the club's assets and financial viability, I trust Cellino and GFH with neither.

The only hope for Monk is that 6 of the next 10 league games are at ER, including Burton, Blackburn and Wigan. It gives Monk a chance to make progress up the table. If we are still near the foot of the table at the end of October, I think Cellino will lose patience.

Repeat it as many times as you like Jack it's true.
Unfortunately the last three incumbents ( Monaco Miser, GFH and the Unmentionable one) seem to be asset strippers or seeing the club as a cash cow.

Bored of it all.

We sell out best player for good money and sign 11 players only one (Roofe) a good show of intent.

Not one of the signings I would at this moment consider a success. Some are already looking like flops.

If you said to me this time last year we'd still have Cellino, would be one place of relegation, have lost out bright hope I'm Cook and are about to lose our only other hope in Taylor...I am struggling to see what is positive.

Monk deserves time but knowing this owner he won't get it.

I'd think the only people that could be happy are those that shared a beer with him!..

This club will go nowhere because he's happy with the way its working for him!..

It's not even September yet the question you have to ask is:

Are there 3 teams in this division worse than Leeds?

Cellino has turned us from a team with aspirations of promotion to one continually looking over its shoulder at the trap door, all done to the rhetoric of beautiful seasons, beautiful players and the fans need to respect etc.

Staying up has to be the primary goal, again.

Is this squad really an improvement of the one that had Cook and Byram in it?

Not happy at all. Borderline apathetic nowadays. I simply can't believe there's any club had a worse string of owners, debacles and poor performances as we have since we dropped out of the top flight.

I don't believe we'll do anything at all - apart from being relegated again - until we get ownership stability.

I don't rate Monk from what I've seen so far - and his ridiculous comments (did he really say, yesterday: "If not for the goals we conceded we would have won the game, definitely." WTF??) but even so, he won't get the best out of players that see a shambles behind the scenes and don't know if/when they'll be paid next or when their teammate will be sold.

More annoyingly, we occasionally do something barmy - like beat Wednesday last week - that gets us all optimistic again, which is even worse than a string of dreadful results; at least that way we know there's no point in being hopeful.

I live in hope - but keep a safe distance from it so that it's not as disappointing when it doesn't come.

Time is needed. Don't write off the season five games in with a new squad and a new manager.

We were going up last week after beating Sheffield Wednesday.

Anyone who thinks we're progressing is deluded or simply isn't involved enough at the club.

We are a complete shambles top to bottom.

Nothing at Leeds United is clear cut. It's been that
way (as we all know) for a decade plus. Asset strippers
pretty much sums it up. All of them. We have had a
good manager in SG. And I like Monk (but wavering).
Neither was or will be truly backed. That's because both
heads of the snake at their respective times didn't
give a sh * t.

I agree, until Cellino is gone. GFH are gone. And any
last shred of Bates is gone, we're going nowhere.
Unless it's to L1.

I do agree also that it's too early to make a clear
judgement on Monk or this team. Sadly though, as you
have all pointed out, the current head of the snake
is off the charts mental and will fire Monk sooner
rather than later.

We need whoever is in the wings, to make themselves
known and actually act. Hopefully, the body that does
act has the balls and brains to know what to do
in order to finally get this club back on track.

And it kills me to see Snoddy yesterday doing well in the Prem, Jonny H before him, Danny Rose, Milner,
Sam, and Lewis doing the same elsewhere.

Hoping this crap ends in my lifetime.
