blackpool away anyone???

Yep.
This fixture was always going to be an evening kick off.

but i don't think the chelsea "success or sack" mentality works. "he's done nothing in his first season, off with his head". at chelsea they have the finances for a new manager to bring in whatever players he wants. any new manager for us would be working under tighter purse strings making the job a lot more difficult.

Did not not sack macca then and go up the next season with a proven one at that level?? ?

BLOEME Oneil I know him personally he wouldn,t come to Leeds some years ago he would want at least 30m chest for transfers get real the only managers we would attract are the ones with no ego

Quite a few fixtures will change by the time Sky get hold of them. Take the current list with a pinch of salt i'd suggest.

i give every manager a chance when they come in. macca (much as i love him) was never good enough, simple as that.

the quality of opposition in league one, meant the players we needed to get out of the league didn't cost as much as the ones we would need to get out of this league. meaning he could get pretty much whoever he wanted/needed to get us up.

i don't think the fact that grayson had previous was the reason for our promotion. whoever got appointed would have had just as much chance of taking us up, experience or not.

we were always one of the favourites to go up, and understandably so.

does that mean your saying grayson is good enough to get us out of league one (as he had experience), but not the championship (as he hasn't)

he's had one stab at it with us, and fell just short. i don't think thats too bad.

meme!..your love in with Grayson will upset his wife if she doesn't know anything about it, but having said that, she must know something, I mean it must be a bit odd her seeing her Hubby wondering around everyday laughing at everything he looks at!..

It may seem a bit strange to her but I think when she finds the truth she'll realise he's not as crazy as she thought!..

"Tell me why he is a good manager? What has he done?"

You ask everytime, and you still don't know, oh well, cant be helped, no known cure outside rehab!..

If Graysons doing a bad job, then how bad are the ones behind him doing?..

First season back 7th spot, I think a lot of Managers must be on suicide watch!..

Roll on the Southampton game, then the season is with us and Grayson can put a few back in their places eh!.

Tremendous fixture list. We're looking at a great season.

The players will be salivating at the prospect of them there games!

7th spot was a bad result, especially after being in 2nd spot and not capitalising on it.

We slid backwards and grayson couldn't stop it, which is why we missed promotion and play offs, same backward slide as L1 season.

Eric the Onion,

Your enthusiasm shows, so does your inexperience in the game.

I hope you're humble enough to say you were wrong after about 10 games.

I actually hope that I don't need to, that's where you and I disagree dear, I want Leeds United to do well.

As for inexperience, I bow to your superior knowledge of everything football, afterall you are always right. Enjoy it.

"We slid backwards and grayson couldn't stop it, which is why we missed promotion and play offs, same backward slide as L1 season."

Lover!...we came from a lower League and in doing so we weren't a favourite to go straight up!..

Norwich did but they were the best team out of the League we came out of last year, and the chances of teams doing what they did are very small, so well done to them!..

As far as 2nd spot goes, the only team in the top 6 that didn't get to 2nd was Reading, so if that's the case they shouldn't have made the Play Off's, but they did, and the other teams in the top 6 all hit 2nd more times then us and for longer!..

So if we should go up because we spent a short time in 2nd, then the others should all go up before us!..

A short time in 2nd in a League that is known to be a lot harder then the one we came out of doesn't win anyone promotion, and for our first season back I'd say 7th was very respectful!..

And teams in this League that have been here for years could argue they have more right then us to go up, but some of them have been relegated!..

I wonder how many of them think they shouldn't have been relegated!..
