Angry

Feck me, but do I miss Biesla. Say what you want, but it was a cracking rollercoaster ride and we may not see it's like ever again.

Angry is an understatement

We could all see (the fans in the stand) where we had problems, our last two preseasons showed them up, we didnt address them. We were shocking at set pieces (its only since SA came in has that looked to be worked on)

No play maker since siaz / pablo

No decent centre half pairing (which imho broke mesilier's confidence)

- Had cresswell but let him go eventhough we could all see we were one injury away from being behind the 8 ball. Millwall want to keep him i wonder why?

No striker, despite rodders really improving this season in the ball in net department.

NO, ZERO goals from midfield worth talking about (how can any team win games if Bambo cant score and rodders isnt playing????? NEVER ADDRESSED

People can blame orta all they like but and i do too, but he is only one cog in the whole wheel, the players MUST carry the can for this almost certainly relegation season, but they are the last people that will be made feel responsible for this ultimate failure, the players were the ones that took the jersey and crossed the white lines, they didnt perform simple as that.

Im raging not because we are dropping into the championship, its because this squad is more than capable of staying up imho, they are not the same United team that came out of the dressing room for the second half the day we played Palace. We had more than enough opportunities to pull away from the relegation fodder but the players didnt perform, and for me thats bloody criminal that here we are again is the faith of LUFC to aligned with the Norwich's, Derby's Coventry's of this world????????

Think radz has to go now, think the 49ers will try to buy a dead duck and wont really invest in LUFC becasue we arent in the big pond with the other big fish, so i fear in my 55th year that my beloved LEEDS UNITED is about to become an also ran :(

Gutted

But i've followed LUFC all my life and i wont change, never will, i just hope i dont have to look up how to fly from Ireland to Darlington to get to see our famous white jersey!!!!!

I'm just ready for it all to be over, I can't see me staying while after 60 mins on Sunday, I've totally lost heart with it all.

I know I will be back and up for it when next season starts. New owners/manager/players what ever form it takes. It's going to be a busy summer for the club hopefully, get rid of a lot of dead wood.

What a frustrating season this has been. Terrible.

The problem wasn’t the managers or even the transfers. It was the panic decisions. Biesla should never have been dismissed. Maybe we would have been relegated, maybe we wouldn’t, personally I don’t think we would have been, but irrespective, we are now. Marsch too should either have been sacked in December or backed in February following his transfer spree. But by far the worst option was sacking him when we did - with no replacement in hand. The idiotic sackings were compounded with complete changes in coaching staff. We’ve had four different coaching teams this season alone - a recipe for relegation. How can you blame the players when they’ve been coached by Marsch, Toshack, Schiemer, Jackson, Maric one week; Skubuka, Aramas, Gallardo the next week; Gracia, Aranaloe, Anita and Solla the following; and finally by Big Sam, Keane and Robinson who won’t be there next season.

The failing was clearly in the Boardroom, although the panic decisions seemed to escalate in line with the more control the 49ers exercised. Certainly, the Marsch appointment seemed to be their decision, as well as the recruitment of the Americans.

What annoys me is this could all have been prevented without spending a penny.

On the plus side, Orta has left us with the bones of an outstanding youth team which look ready to make the step up. We need to find a management team that can back them - and a board that thinks long term instead of bending to social media pundits and kneejerk armchair fans.

Can't argue with any of that Soopa.

It feels like we shot ourselves in the foot and have taken the wrong decisions time & again.

As you say we now need clear leadership and direction (ownership sorted).

A lot of work to be done in a relative short time.

Not angry, just sad.

I'm well passed being angry Danish, those in power have missed out on what was evident to most fans. Either they didn't want to see what the average fan could spot from miles away, or they were totally imcompetent and or somehow blindly trusted our recruitement departement.

Signing the wrong types of players (same types over & over again), mostly for the wrong postitions, with the wrong pedigree & quality. On top of that, in general also paying over the odds in terms of transferfees & wages.

The thing that worries me most now is not that we're going down.

It's simply the fact that we've got virtually nothing to build on.

We need a complete squad overhaul and someone in charge who has a vision and a plan to get us on track.

Looking at the current squad/team and most of this season's performances we would do very well to finish midtable in the Championship.

The only thing that gives us a bit of hope are our youngsters, but we can't simply expect those lads to get us back without some serious quality & experience by their side.

Emotions running high all across the fan base. Understandable.

Orta was the head of the football side of the club and he's now been given his P45, so a new DoF comes in and we have to start again.

Bielsa was an inspired appointment and he worked miracles to get a Championship squad up in the first place. Let's be clear though, he didn't want more players when offered, he always wanted a small squad, so when the injuries hit we had nothing to fall back on. It cost him his job.

The club tried to rectify this and spend to support Marsch, but the commitment was to a "red Bull" model (or whatever you want to call it) and has left us with the wrong tools for the job (a bag of mashings) if you then appoint guys like Gracia and Allardyce.

An absolute mess - said it before, we need ownership sorted before anything else, then DoF, then manager and finally weed the garden to properly suit a new leader and culture.

Most of the players are stuck in the middle. Some have tried hard but not good enough, some have not tried hard enough, some have been brought here under false pretences, some have been misused......
