Leeds ruin good work by hiring Bassett?
October 31, 2007
Leeds have done some good work with public relations this season, going months without being associated with their usual evil-doing. No Revie-esque cheating, no Lee Bowyer, no expensive fishtanks. Come on guys, a whole season of glorious news, almost there… oh no. Here we go again:
“Leeds manager Dennis Wise has gone back to his Crazy Gang days at Wimbledon to recruit his former boss Dave Bassett as his new assistant at Elland Road. Bassett has agreed to take on the role until the end of the season and will join up with the team tomorrow ahead of Saturday’s trip to leaders Carlisle.”
This comes from the Daily Mail, the only publication that are more horrible than Bassett’s football. Get ready to crane those necks Leeds fans because those clearances are going to be high and hopeful from now on.
Leeds are still one of the stores of the season so hopefully the Poyet-Bassett switch won’t cost them.

Got something to say?


less than inspiring - or inspired - isn’t it?
“harry” knows what it takes at this level, and in my opinion he is the ideal replacement for poyet. (he may even prove to be better! at least there will be no language barrier!).
inspired signing IMO.
Revie-esque cheating? Obviously nothing would make you happier than to be able to Leeds bash if that’s all you have to say about one of the finest teams in English football of all time. I’m not a fan of his, but i’m sure Harry Bassett will be an ideal appointment at this moment in time - not sure in 3 years time when we’ve ‘kicked’(as you put it) our way back into the Premiership, but, hey, we’ll both be happy by then!
All down hill from here, Bassetts influence will kill what is at this moment is an adrenalin filled team on the up. Watch the down turn in form and results. Bassett worst singing ever, oh apart from Brolin.
Thought so! 3-1 to Carlisle, Get Bassett out before the rot sets in.
