An Open Letter to Captain Birdseye

Dear Chairman Bates:

Enough is enough! When you took over the board at LUFC you told us to be patient and, for two years, we have been nothing but patient. You told us that we were in a rebuilding phase and to trust Kevin Blackwell – and then you sacked him. You told us that we could no longer merely accept that we were a big club, that we had to earn that position, and we accepted that. But enough is enough. Five years ago we watched in amazement as our club made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Five years later we’re second bottom of the Coke and being mullered regularly by the likes of Leicester, Stoke and Luton. Enough is enough. You owe those, like me, who have followed Leeds United for thirty years and more the obligation of telling us exactly what is going on in your head. What is the board’s plan for rescuing this season? Not another week should go by without an announcement by you and the board of a concrete plan for changing the course of the season. That should include an immediate move to appoint a new manager. And that manager should not be Dennis Wise. Enough is enough!

LUFC forever,
