Colin's Quotes

[moscowhite]

Every so often I remember that Bessone went back to Swansea, who are doing well in the Premiership, and laugh.

He's made one appearance since he went back. Came on as a sub in the eighty-sixth minute against West Brom on 17th September.

Perhaps you and musta should 'spend some time together'.

Four minutes?

[Mustafaster]

Four minutes?

Suits me.

[Blackwhite]

You two are doing it twice? Good show.

Andy Lonergan. Keep your fkng mouth shut

[tommydski]

It's worth remembering that he works for Leeds United, he's most likely contractually obliged to co-operate with the in-house media to an extent. If somebody approaches him asking him if he's pleased to be keeping a clean sheet, after a game where he was probably Man of the Match, is he supposed to tell them to fuck off? That'd please his employers.

I was looking for some other info on t'net about Colin when I came across this and thought you could almost substitute the names Grayson and Connolly.

It made me wonder, so a little google search revealed that during his QPR time alone Buzsacky, Cook, Taarabt, Vine, Ramage, Chimbonda, Rowlands, were all also reportedly unhappy with their treatment by warnock either training with the kids, not going on squad trips and not getting a squad number etc.

Exactly the same things the Leeds players moaned at that nasty Simon Grayson for in his lair at far-away Thorp Arch, and that so shocked Kenneth and 90MPH

Footballers eh? Tssk

[mackie]

How many of those players did he sign?

How many of those players did he sign?

Im not having a go at Colin, merely pointing out that these methods are standard operating proceedure.

Exactly. And now he's trying to get rid of half of them on loan, although that's proving more difficult than it seems - again, similar to SG's problems. Sam, Paynter, Forssell, Taylor, Nunez, Rachubka, Parker, AOB all offered out on loan. Of those, Taylor & Chubs gone & Sam off to Notts County. Most of the others have refused moves. Presume he's doing it to free up some wages for loans/next season but it won't make him popular with the squad.

.... Presume he's doing it to free up some wages for loans/next season but it won't make him popular with the squad.

Why? It's been discussed before, most players are mercenary bastards, especially the sort of rubbish we have brought in for nowt. The squad needs a clear-out, if Colin can get rid of a few of SGs garbage now that'd be great, but I expect carnage this summer.

spot on.. but Colin's the man for that
no doubt whatsoever problem is we need to hang onto him and that means 10 more performances like sunday
even more unlikely than making the POs

Ben Fry - "well Col, 6 points from 15, well done, the chairman has got a semi"
Me - "cheers Benny, yeah it's a fucking doddle, the morons are off Ken's back, so mission acclomplished. We're hoofing it well and the softs cunts are even singing my name already"

[the flying pig]

i thought this was half-interesting. a combination of publicly singling Lees out [again] for having made a mistake whilst also talking up his potential massively. not sure that i'd have bothered with either myself, but...

[dirty leeds]

Yeah that Lees thing smacks to me of regretting laying into him in public on Sat in his post match red mist. Is now giving him a public cuddle, without completely backing off.

[MightyWhite]

Thought Connelly was more to blame for the West Ham goal if anything, his attempt at closing down McCartney in the lead up to the corner was fucking pathetic.

[Phil LUFC]

Does this imply Colin has asked for a larger budget than we have this season?

"I’ve told Shaun and the chairman what I think I would need to get promotion next year. They’re quite clear in their minds that they’re going to try and provide that for me. It’s the only chance we’ve got."

I'm one of the hopeful ones that it turns out well this summer... but it's just as likely the shit will still stink the same. Wages offered won't be big enough. Players we don't want won't fuck off to free up money. Colin ends up like Larry did and unable to do what he wants so he leaves come December with us in mid-table, calling Bates a cunt for not spending what he told him he wanted, while Bates says he always told Colin what the limits were and we overspent on them anyway.
Only hope is that everyone seriously believes Colin's team for next season will be a promo winning side and they want to be a part of it - either as players or as the people who helped make it happen.

Candidate for next year's Death List?

I though it sounded like Colin was turning on the pressure a bit when I heard his interview this morning, he was talking about 3-4 signings, I'd say we needed 3 in defence, 3 in midfield, 1 up front n cover for "Lonners" .. I make it 8 with 15 or so going out the door. We loose the wrong players then .....
