    Dancing on the pitch, making movies, writing letters to fans, it's a wonder they have time to run a football club professionally. Oh, wait a mo'..................

    It was reported on here by those 'itk' that they wanted to sell up. More nonsense.

    And further nonsense is folk reading between the lines and putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

    Get a grip.

    Because we all have different opinions of what we see and hear, I'll back them when we see things change not statements from Stefan.

    There's people who are having a go about those who complain when there's no communication from the board, and then there are people who DO complain when the board does speak. Just shows how split the fanbase is. Family??

    Damn'd if you do, damn'd if you dont etc.

    BUT this statement, it's all retrospect. I don't see anything about what they're going to do to put things right. To correct the mistakes they point out. To guide the club in a forward direction.

    Instead. Me, who loves this club. Who's only attachment to the UK is me listening in/watching on ifollow each game, and someone who told my father loving supporter of Leeds United at the age of 12, that I want to support the team of the city I was born in. I read this shit from our owners, and I shudder. I read this thinking that it was written in German, because the translated grammar and flow was so poor, that I begin to understand the chasm from what they think, and what we want. And I mean that, not in a racist, English point of view, I mean it because I think that these guys thought so differently about League One and English football, that it's so naive that it hurts me. I genuinely feel for these guys, because they are so out of their depth, and their rose glasses are completely clouded it's intrue.

    It's an absolute must that we have to sort all this out. Statements like this from the BOARD are akin to statements from the board to the MANAGER. Basically they are giving themselves a vote of confidence.

    This is just another layer of embarrasement.

    Which is why when our German speaking directors want to deliver an important speech or letter in English to an English speaking audience they have one of the local directors rewrite it as a native speaker would present it. Almost certain James would have done the same.

    This is really important. R&R need a really good interpretator who translates German written statement and letters into English, who fully understands what they actually want to say. One missing word can mean all the difference. Their English is very good, but maybe they need to run it past an interpretator before they speak so they get it just right. More especially during troubled times, but for me I would employ somebody.

    Also in their defence english is one of the most ambiguous languages in the world especially dealing with native speakers. i really want to support these guys and I think their hearts in the right place but as others have said its action time now.

    The proof of their intent will be what happens over the next 2 months, manager in place and the standard of players will show us what to expect
