Now where have I heard that before?

It's a decision I feel in time they may come to regret.

Well, you never know, this time they may have actually got it right, stranger things have happened.

And why haven't the results been bad? Have you ever thought that maybe the board knew the players they had and wanted in the future and maybe just maybe the man they chose could bring out the best in them by somehow relating to them and using a different way, how amazing would that be?

And considering we have absolutely nothing to play for except pride as well.

The home side?

Well that didn't last long 1-1

I remember the infamous City v Chelsea FA Cup game, when they announced the "official" attendance the crowd laughed they actually laughed they later amended it up by quite a few thousand.

I could barely believe that but you were right 22nd April 1980 12,013.

I don't think we had many crowds of 16/17 thousand in the first division, some maybe towards the end of our time there when we were no longer competitive and pretty much nailed on for relegation, that last season, our average was around 23,000 the first 3 years and even 19,000 in our last season.

Unbelievable Geoff!! (sorry I couldn't resist:laugh:).

Ooh! Let me see, The Land of Donkey Rides, fish and chips, and lots of people from the Midlands on holiday?

Pray do tell :laugh:.

Indeed it will be. and I hope you do need to.

I wasn't comparing, just pointing out to the poster expecting us to beat Huddersfield that Leeds had lost at home to Blackburn, so read my post properly before having a go, yes a few of the performances have been a bit underwhelming but it's a results business and he is certainly currently getting them, if you think Manning is going anywhere fast you will be sorely disappointed. I think you will soon be another poster having to eat humble pie, just as a few on this forum have already started to backtrack.

Ask the Leed fans how they feel playing a side recently they should easily beat, as the cliche goes there are no easy games in the Championship.

And yet when we only pick up a couple of points over 5 games like we have at times we are doomed, going down, Manning is crap etc.

Despite all the moaning about Manning I just had a quick look at the last 5 results for every team in the Championship and guess what we are top with 11 points, now tell me honestly if that was our previous manager's record over the last 5 games this forum would be dreaming of better times ahead, it's a results business and you can't say manning at last is not getting them.

Not as far as league position or points though, I think you are looking at the past through rose-tinted specs, I would on average say we are no better or worse than we were under Pearson. I see signs of improvement albeit yesterday was pretty disappointing, as I said to you in another post 5 games unbeaten 1 goal conceded I can't prove it but I bet that record under the previous manager would have you saying what a good job he was doing.

Anyone in particular?

I'm speechless, which if you knew me you would know that's a first.

Have you been on the Leeds forums? I expect Leeds Lark is saying the same things, for God's sake 5 games unbeaten one goal conceded and still the negativity.

Leeds lost at home today to a bottom-six side and they really could have done with the win, we had even less than nothing to play for against a team that really needed the win and did not lose, unlike Leeds who did, as you say a bit of perspective is needed after our 5th game unbeaten having conceded one goal, anyway, I don't know about you but having been in the Duke today surrounded by gas heads when we equalised in the 100th minute it felt like a win and wiped the smile off their faces.

There baaaak!

And just like that all the positivity coming from the club vanishes in a puff of smoke.
