Mr Farrell Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Badly handled. Wasting shiit loads of money we can't afford. Detrimental to our on the field results. Not good for team morale. Lost Jos and the Chairman credibility. I already took what they said with a pinch of salt. This nailed it. No amount of spin from the club employees and apologists will convince me otherwise.

torryowl Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 good keeper westwood anyone who says he isn't is talking out there arris …….dawson also is a good keeper and the only thing for me that splits them is one costs us a lot of money that we'll get no return on when he leaves in the summer while the other if he continues to develop could A) be our keeper for many years to come or B) fetch in a huge amount of money if the top clubs come calling …...you have to look ahead and plan for the future and there is no future if you keep playing a load of aging players who are just sitting out there contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 He could make a lot of money by signing short term contracts, this would be a sensible move for a quality keeper of his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for us, he's only our third best keeper and we have such a great defensive record. Is it me or is removing the only two organisers/communicators out of a 5 man defensive third just thick? The lack of continuity has cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Westwood has been a great keeper for us but I don’t know where people get this idea he’s premier league standard. If he was at that level then he’d be playing at that level. As things stand he’s 34 years old and has played 19 prem games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be difficult because he was hardly ever there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Wonder what the reaction would be on here if L***s made an offer the club couldn’t refuse for Dawson and we were left with an injury prone Westwood on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Taking personalities out of the equation, the handling of some of our senior professionals has been crass at best, shown no respect, done nothing for the club’s reputation, and been handled unprofessionally. The “We want you”, then “We don’t want you” scenarios just exemplify that the club has no strategic direction and is just pishing into the wind, leading to our current predicament. We’re still no nearer in understanding our short-term, medium-term, and long-term planning. We can assume the short term plan is to achieve survival in the Championship, the medium term plan to stabilise within the Championship, on lower operating costs, lower wages, and utilising young players coming through, with a long term plan of improving the infrastructure and providing a base for gradual improvement over several years, aligned to careful player recruitment that is sustainable, but these are as stated, just assumptions. The club communications are poor and there is no feeling of us being in it together. This is entirely down to our owner to resolve. Fans are becoming disillusioned and that has to be resolved now. The way forward is to communicate better, be honest, admit you’re struggling to know what to do next, then seek experienced, independent, assistance from within the game, and not rely upon people with vested business interests. That’s how you start to sort out the mess Mr C. In doing so, you should eventually gain unuversal sympathy, understanding, and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Shouldn't really matter who the fans want, it's down to their recruitment personnel. Wouldn't be too upset if Westwood goes in January as it's pointless having higher earners still here and not being utilised, but hope he goes somewhere other than Leeds.
