The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 16th August)

Ridsdale owned up to his many mistakes.

At least they were honest mistakes.

Shaks, read the book google linked on post 15

 

**** him. I can't believe you're even sticking up for the clown. Makes my blood boil even talking about him. I won't read his book because I don't care what he has to say. He crippled this club, it so easy to admit he made mistakes in hindsight. FFS we punters could see he was ****ing gambling with the club. I mean who in real life mortgages a club/property on a gamble. The guys a prick and if I could legally deal with him I would.

 

It was irritating to once again read Ridsdale's assertion that O'Leary didn't have permission to engage Hague. Yet somehow he did.

The outcome was that the club paid Hague. Now why would you do that if you had no use for him? I'd have told Hague to seek payment from O'Leary, as he had not been engaged by the club. Simple as that. Despite assertions from both sides, in the end, the club paid up. Why do that when you don't need to? Tends to undermine Ridsdale's assertion that he's not to blame, doesn't it?

 

So was one of those mistakes paying Hague £1.75m when he didn't have to?

Did he ever own up to the legendary Seth Johnstone signing debacle?

Very expensive mistakes, these. It's not like he bought a lager instead of a bitter - though jaws have been broken for less in the pub. Millions & millions wasted on 'mistakes'.

 

No problem having an opinion but criticising an employee in public is not very good management, only my opinion of course

 

And given that Rads by his own admission knows nothing about football, probably less than most fans yet publicly criticises a football coaching genius.

 

O'Leary signed on behalf of Leeds Utd

 

A bit off thread and not football related. But these things piss me off. When it comes to what is racism and whats not. I just read that that obnoxious spoilt brat tennis player Nick Kyrgios was involved in yet another throw your dummy out moment, when he called an Irish umpire a tool and a potato. Now he was fined yet again, but if the word banana had be directed at a black umpire the lefties, human rights and all sorts would have got involved and that person may have been banned or vilified in the press. There does seem to be one rule for one and one rule for another.

 

You assume that everyone bet on a Leeds win, what about the hundreds maybe thousands who bet on a draw. That's why betting doesn't come into it. With Bielsa you have to take the full package, can't pick and choose which bits you don't want.

 

On one hand milions upon millions wasted by mistakes.

On the other hand millions wasted by alleged corruption and fraudulent actions. Which one is worse

 

Most bookies (out of goodwill) still paid out on the Leeds win v Villa last season.

 

If he's a white male it's OK, they can say what they like.

 

But my point was that Bielsa might have known what Radz was going to say and that he had been informed by Radz beforehand and therefore mighten have had a problem with it. Obviously I don't know if this happened or not.

 

I'm not assuming anything Chesh. All I'm saying is he shouldn't be able to dictate things like that on the pitch, he should leave that to the officials.

 

Oh thank **** for that. I can sleep easy now...

 

Bielsa showed a weakness in giving those ****s a free goal, he should have told Smith and Terry to **** right off

 

kyrgios has certainly got a temper problem. I knew he referred to Murphy as a tool and the worst umpire hands down but was not aware he called him a potato. Murphy and Kyrgious have clashed plenty of times before in the past, so there is history there...

Is being called a potato racism. If I were to refer to WJ as a haggis, is that racist?

 

Don't know lot then

 

Just imagine if Villa needed a point to stay up in that game, all ****ing hell would have broken loose and we would have been crucified yet again, let the officials officiate

 

How is the truth racist
