I have felt just a little guilty about the lack of blogging, match attendance and general feeling of being uncomfortably numb about a bitterly disappointing feeling of "bah mid table mediocrity..I saw it coming!" Yet McDermott's appointment has given a feeling of fresh hope. He's taken a leap into the unknown by his own admission, perhaps us fans should do the same and just go with it.. splashing the cash and bold statements mean nothing without a loyal, steadfast support but ticket prices and recent announcements on rebranding of membership packages mean the cynical amongst us aren'tquire ready to dip the toes back into the shark infested waters of damned if we do damned if we dont school of fandom!
Personally a mix of youth and experience, commitment and a quietly reassured, sensible head at the helm will be a refreshing change. Such a wide gaping daunting hole between championship winning support and premiership quality football. Money gets you so far but passion, pride and ability nudges it further long term. The trouble with Leeds is we've banked on past reputations, old glories, to stoke the fires of all too often disappointing and doomed campaigns.
Too many egoes, not enough support from the men in the suits...
Marching onwards and upwards!
Sam Byram should not be our only hope
The ups and downs of Elland Rd more crazy than a badly written soap
Our ageing midfield and dodgy defence clearly can't cope
All that glitters is not always gold
The tales of Billy Bremner and the Champions league days are growing old
We can't expect a quick fix or a cure all
Although there is life beyond eleven men and a ball
No doubting us fans are desperate for success
Next season its champions and nothing less
Yet wait a moment lets retrack
It's patience we lack
Trigger happy is not the way
Although I do not want a repeat of Neil Warnocks idea of play
Lets give McDermott our support
Not every trophy can be bought
Lets keep the faith and be proud
Sing out loud
For our time will come before too long
Just got to be thick skinned and strong
Look forward not back
I know it's a tough ask
We respect the past
It was a blast
Yet tomorrow is a new day
Lets give a chance for Brian to show us a new way
