By Shaun Stone We are all aware of the poor run of performances which have resulted in our poor league position and some of us are now fearing the possibility of relegation to league one. Some have argued that this will not happen but more and more fans are voicing their concerns about this becoming a potential reality.
Each supporter is entitled to their opinion and this is my own - We do what we do best and continue to support the players and manager, at least until the end of the season. We are all aware of the issues surrounding the club off the field, but we all need to stick together and help push the players to perform better in a constructive manner, rather than destructive. Indeed, we have all had to endure some performances that quite frankly were nothing short of lackluster, pathetic and showed a serious lack of desire but attacking the players and manager at this point in the season will do no good at all in my opinion. If we are to get relegated this season, what would you prefer? Ranting at the players and manager and probably not helping them, or support them in the hope they will find their courage, desire and echo the passion of the fans in their remaining matches. I am writing this article in the hope it reaches what is becoming a majority of supporters who are rapidly showing hostility, anxiety and a severe lack of patience. Of course, Leeds fans have been forced to endure some harsh times but we will get through it, like we have before. Some fans say "Enough is enough" and I agree with them to some extent but let's get this season dealt with and then handle whatever else we can afterwards. Let us hope that the club has a new owner in place sooner rather than later and there is finally some stability at the club. Of course, we cannot ensure our efforts will guarantee us Championship football again next season but I would much rather the fans go down singing rather than taking it on the chin and doing nothing about it.

Completely agree, was having this debate with a few fans this morning! It's hard for everyone right now, but the best thing is to get behind the lads, show them were still behind them! The shambles behind the scenes seems to be getting worse by the day, but it will get better! 2/4/2014 01:25:14 am

The only way things are going to improve is by getting a new owner that knows football, has experience and can lead and run the club well. It has to start there. Whether it's Cellino, Pearson/Farnan/Verity or someone else we need an owner that has the money and assertiveness to clear the debt, buy back ER & TA, either give McDermott a guarantee over his job or bring a new man in, reduce the wage bill and help put together a smaller, better squad rather than a large, average at best one. It's going to be a very tough ask for anyone buying the club to do all that effectively and the state the club's in not many people are going to want to take the risk of buying us, we just have to hope that whoever ends up in control is one of the few people with the money, will and ability to do it 2/4/2014 01:37:39 am

I say 'Enough is enough', not been to ER since Barnsley game last December during which I was heard to say (when we were in the top 6!) 'If anyone in this ground thinks we are getting promoted with this shower of shite then f**k me!' I would rather save the £60+, a game it costs to take my lad & me, for a decent summer holiday thanks. There's more to life, get out while you can

Did u. Say .....get out while u can? Mmm,just becouse we're in the shit,u turning your back on the club and 'the church'. (E r ). In my book pal thats just as bad as what these so called custonians of the club are doing to us. Remember,your supposed to be a leeds fan,and leeds are for life,not just when things are going right....think on. Mot.

The fans are turning up week in week out and spending lots of hard earned money doing so. The players just are'nt turning up and neither are they being motivated to play commited football by their boss.

It's easy for us to stand on sideline and moan about players not putting In a shift, but teams win games not individuals, if it weren't for McCormack where would be be this season? McDermott's stubborn attitude and tactical unawareness was there for us all to see against Wednesday. Enough of this get me up with a manager who had done it before (but under very different circumstances!).... I hope I never hear another leeds fan rant at McCormack! Mot thanks Harry Hill but it's time to go 2/4/2014 04:46:23 am
It might be instructive for us all to remember how McDermott was treated by Cellino. You sack someone, then reluctantly "reinstate" him, that manager has lost all authority with the players. It even happened to Whiskey Face a few season's back, when he prematurely announced his retirement. 2/4/2014 02:00:46 am
i just can't see any of the bottom three teams winning four games between now and until the end of the season. i can see us taking 4pts from our remaining games. we will finish 19th 20th methinks.

Last night was shocking but let's look at it from the manager's perspective. His employers allow people to sack him before they own the club and he is publicly criticized by anyone who feel's like having a pop. On Saturday, the perspective owner tells anyone who wants to listen that he doesn't like him. Despite his own insecurity, he then has to motivate players who are not getting paid. His best employees (bar one) get sold or moved to his competitors and the remaining players that he has to work with are simply not good enough. Don't blame the manager, blame the regime that allows this to happen.
