Poyet was the driving force in (a) keeping us up and (b) mullering the division the following year. I've never said he was the ONLY factor in that, but because he went schizo on us in the end, his role seems to have been reduced to something of a bit-part by some on here, with an assumption that...

I'm sorry, but a building site 5 miles away does not provide momentum on a football pitch. ESPECIALLY at bloody Withdean. And its not like Bloom threw millions at the squad that season either. We were still getting Holroyds in.

Eddie Howe had long-standing links with the Muff going back to when he was a child. Not sure if that would've transferred easily to ourselves, particularly at the age of 31 when he was made manager there. But its conjecture, we'll never know. I certainly don't regret the decision Bloom made in...

We were the width of a crossbar and a blinding save away from changing that particular course of history forever. Then this thread would probably never exist.

See this is where I disagree. I think its quite a dangerous assumption to think that "others could have done just as well". You're right in saying that Gus wasn't the SOLE factor in our survival and then total CLOBBERING of L1 - but he played such a huge role in it that I think its impossible to...

:lolol: Christ that's going back a bit. I have vague memories of that conversation, but absolutely no idea how it came about!

Sorry, the "deal with it" signoff wasn't directed at you at all, just at the usual revisionists on this thread.

Which apparently completely erases all other achievements prior to that evening. Apparently.

I do find it amazing. Once he'd binned Salde, if Bloom had then made the wrong appointment, then who's to say WHERE we would've been in the League by the time we moved in at the Amex. We might have been scuffling in L2. There was certainly every chance we could still have been a L1 club...

And ? I don't care if he pulls the wings off flies, forgets his mums birthday and throws bagged-up kittens into rivers. As long as he could get the team I follow to play good soccerball and win lots of games, frankly that's all I was bothered about.

How can you be surpised ? Leeds is a complete CIRCUS of a club now. It has been for years, but Cellino has somehow managed to drag it down to a whole new level of buffoonery. Any football manager with a smidgeon of self-respect and professionalism would not touch that club with a shitty stick...
