Taxi for Warnock?

13/1/2013

By Keith Ingham

After another humiliation at Barnsley, for the third consecutive year Leeds fell at the home of the 'pit props'. It's not the defeat that bothers me so much but the way we were played off the field by a managerless team, lacking their best player sold this week.

When a player like Marlon Harewood can totally boss your back line you know you're in 'the deep brown stuff'. I now suggest that after a year in charge of the club Neil Warnock should resign with dignity before he is shown the door by the new owners.

Lots has been written about his team selection, seven changes on Saturday after more changes versus Birmingham. He doesn't know his best team, plays his captain out of position and buys players only to leave them out (Drury). If this team is to go forward it can only do so with a manager who utilises players skills with the ball, not launch the ball into the sky and hope for Luciano to beat every defender to create anything.

I must say I was fully supportive of Warnock but feel that he has lost the dressing room and is losing the fans. He always said that if that happened he would walk. That time is now, as a few more performances like Saturday the gates at Elland Road will drop to around the size of the early eighties.

It's hard writing this as I thought this season we could at least challenge for the top six. I'm afraid with this manager we will not do this and in the best interests of the club it's best we part.

Goodbye Mr Warnock, it's time to retire and go back to Cornwall with your memories.

Notts Forest beat Leeds 4-2 O'Driscoll got the sack. Barnsley beat Leeds 2-0, Warnock gets full support of GFBates. New signings on way Warnocks old team all in their thirties. Poleon and Dawson playing out of their skins, give them a chance to prove themselves at this level. PS Warnock out now before its too late.

Definitely time for Colin to go. His post match comments are bordering on the insane; he should be committed. Warnock out

Have supported Neil Warnock all along and he is obviously a very good manager, who has not been supported. He has been hung out to dry just like the managers before him! I said that it would happen. He has been looking for bargain basement players and loanees to get the job done - just like the ones before him. He has had the promises, but not had the support. Who is advising GFH? Bates? Well this does not work and Neil should do the honerable thing and save his face by walking, now. Tell us how it really is! The technical director is not up to the job, Harvery and Bates need moving on and GFH don't have the know how and/or may be the finance to support Leeds. Lets stop trying to con the fans! David Haigh, you wanted the job, now over to you!!

This brand of anti-football NW insists on playing won't work in this division, or any division. It's time for NW to go - period. David Haigh reads these blogs sites - I hope he takes notice. MOT

Getting sick of the lame Warnock excuses for our defeats. If all we can rely on is the ref sending off one of the opposition to give us a chance there is no hope for us.

Mr Warnock's comments on Yorkshire Radio after the Barnsley defeat were embarrasing .

To apparently blame the referee for the defeat suggest he is suffering from some form of delusional illness - please get him help before he does something really seriious such as attempting to invade Poland!

how can NW think we have a good team. i have been a fan for 44 years now and i have never seen any team as bad as what im seeing now. we have no wingers no central midfielder need another stricker, being a big club with the fans we have how can we not by a player of £1.2 mil chris wood, looking good we cant even buy tom rogic for £400,000 he looks like a £20,000,000 player and hes only 18 years old what the heck are nw and GFH up to maybe taking the bates out of us all

I received a phone call from Leeds United back end of last week.....excited at first thinking they might want to bring me out of retirement (I had an illustrious pub team career in the Sunday League).....seems they don't want my footballing services they want to know why I haven't renewed my season ticket.....my answer, last season was sh!te to the point of abject misery.....the girl laughed nervously then hung up when she realised I would offer nothing else....then to completely back up my rudeness Barnsley v LUFC....whilst it pains me to see such lack lustre poor performance it completely validates my outburst to the poor young lady at Leeds United.

Going forward I think the view starting to emerge is one of.....feck it, get enough points to stay the course, strip back and build for next season.....Thanks Neil but....Time to go, time to go, time to go f*ck off!!

how can nw think he can keep bec and byram when we are getting smashed every week, we aint got a clue. under nw we are going up to league one and soon after that we will be playing against luton town oh yes nw will still say i have done a great job. you need help and the help we are talking about is go back to hospital and get some more treatment.

how can nw think that just one player is going to change things for leeds. and of course yet another loan player just one months worth, however i do think that rb from everton is a good player. when are we going to buy someone. back in december nw promised leeds fans that he cant wait for the jan trans window to open, well its nearly closed and still nothing. nw made another statement that he will get one in before the window close, well just one what happened to three or four. we can all see how nw and gfh are playing games with us all. the facts are bates still owns the club and weve all been mugged. loyalty is a two way thing . the leeds fans have always been loyal but it seems the club have not soon the same loyalt back. we are the ones that not only love the club but we pay good money as well. so loyalty from the leeds fans are not in doubt but i beg to differ with the leeds owners and club chairman, nw . shame on you all so some respect and come clean and tell the fans the truth.at this rate the will get smaller and smaller, no more good times ahead just down down down league one here we come nw has done a great job loyalty my dogs breath
