Tell that to Venables

@@cockoffgewgle4993 yeh venables was never a right fit for Leeds having said that though working under Ridsdale cant have been easy such a lying snake

@@cockoffgewgle4993 Venables was actually a good manager but he was being lied to by publicity pete ridsdale.

He played Bakke as a defensive midfielder. Completely clueless manager - tactically inept. Should have played Batty and Dacourt in central midfield. Don’t get me started on Okon, Barmby and Lucic!

The sheer amount of off field drama and financial issues zapped the players mentally once the big names begun to be sold, it unsettled training sessions as the squad didn't know who was coming or going, the most Ried could do was the odd good performance, he couldn't even turn the situation around, looking back he should have just sold the whole team and played fresh youth players, they may have stayed up the year after??

I think not

Can you imagine what Bielsa would have done to Kewell and Viduka

@John Harrison Sad indeed. As a Liverpool fan, it's incredible how long Leeds have been out the top flight, with the great teams they've had over time, and the players they had here and still be relegated, it's baffling. I'm 27 now, and as a kid I'll be honest, I hated Leeds because they where tough to beat, and coming to Anfield they where always a danger. Good to see them back finally, and hopefully the rivalry can grow back to something like it was, which I'm confident it won't be long before it does.

@@steventhompson2511 Going back further I have some great memories, Steven. Shanks and Revie were close friends, which added spice. Leeds first won the League at Liverpool in 69 in front of the Kop who gave them a fantastic reception. Later I remember watching a game at Leeds when Chris Lawler, the Liverpool full back, scored two headed goals. That was the first time I saw what the Dutch later called total football. It started with Liverpool. Roll on Klopp and Bielsa!

Sad to be hanging onto something for so long..

To be fair his best years were all with Leeds anyway. Had maybe one decent season with Liverpool before injuries killed his career.

Think how pissed of we where losing like that to a side struggling to stay up

Just watched Leeds 6 Charlton 1. No problem between them

When Andy Cole n Teddy Sheringham played at man u they never spoke to 1 another at all but on the pitch they were totally professional, played as a team n u couldn't tell at all they never liked each other

Yeah, they had left in that January.

Leeds were already a sinking ship by the time Reid arrived, there was very little he could to turn the situation around, Kewell had already made up his mind he was going to leave, Smith and Matteo were the only ones who really played as time went by, Radabe was past his best and injury prone and the rest lost their mental hunger and enthusiasm by then,

@@mattmillman8942 I mean you're not entirely wrong, but Reid was absolute garbage and didn't have the respect of his squad at all.

@@AKAtAGG but who else was there to take the job??

@@mattmillman8942 yeah i can't disagree with that statement, but it's not like we made much effort at times, to get someone who understood the club

To think only 3yrs later youd end up paying out. Half a million for fat useless sam for 4 games 🤣🤣🤣
