SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

As I've said on the other thread, the major failure has been Hetheringtons recruitment and
mis-management of the Leeds youth systems for the last five years.

In the key positions we HAD players coming up and through, but they were never going to get past the incumbents in those positions due to our success and so moved on. Losing John Bastian to wolves was a hammer blow and who did we replace him with? Willie "jobs for the boys" Poching and Co. Madness, utter madness.

We were lucky at Leeds over a number of years, because our players were great at a young age and therefore were growing better together. Coaches did not need to drastically change things, but just add to it. What we need now though is major surgery.


That's the key thing isn't it - Leeds, as with most clubs that build a little dynasty over a few seasons had stability and talent in abundance in the key positions. I remember McGuire playing and scoring against us in a 24 all draw in 2003 - not many teams are lucky to have a player like that in a pivotal position for so long.

This season has been a bit of a disaster, and I suspect next year will be more solid, but not spectacular. Someone at Leeds needs to be brave and bite the bullet with the squad.

Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

Poching is also at Warrington now so not sure what your issue is with his appointment?

Thinking about the coaches that are available at the moment, Noble is the only name that stands out.

Can't see him coming if I'm honest but what Noble has done in the past against us is cracking. Why can't we get someone like him?



i think there's one better Daniel Anderson is available if my memory serves me right

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.

This squad of players, on the decline as they may be is at worst, the 5th best squad. I actually think our squad is better than Huddersfield's on paper and perhaps level with Saints' as well. 4th for me would have been acceptable with the squad as it is, but we are 8th, we are playing dross and the aging squad is getting older and older. The buck absolutely stops with the coach, if we had a better coach we would not be this low in the table.

We let a guy who had a proven track record of academy success be poached/coaxed away from us and replaced him with a hithero untested bloke in poching. Nice bloke that he is, surley we could have done better? Jobs for the boys/yes men and all that jazz.

Bastian was a huge loss IMO, well done to TS for poaching him (no pun intended!) but as Rogues (a man who knows a bit or two about the youth development of clubs) says, we have seem to lose interest in our youth development slightly since the success at first team level started coming.

Not sure about that - I certainly wouldn't swap squads, regardless of who was coaching them.
