Apologies Fletcher, you're right. That got out of hand quickly. Let's forget the last 2 pages and start over...

What position has the club put itself in Gotcha? Do none of the agents want to deal with Leeds any more?

Not trolling, just genuinely would like to know what 'position' you are alluding to. Please elaborate.

Fine, as seem as credit to you asking properly, instead of the ridiculousness of others.
McDermott, and pushed onto his coaching team, do not believe in youngsters needing agents, and tried to put a stop to a few from dealing with the club. This went against the advice from the player welfare officer at the club and in the circumstances I know of, against the advice of Rob Burrow who had coached the players at scholarship and advised them. Plume as really dug a hole for himself with comments made, which were purely under instruction, and as a result certain agents will not deal with that coaching team. Hence, why I believe, was the main motivator behind Morley's appointment, as only the club could lose out here, they needed to change their view. This by the way is known by quite a lot of people, so hardly made up.

Was not aware of that, cheers for the info. Roll on 6 quick consecutive losses so we can cut our losses and ditch the idiot.

I always thought that it was GH who dealt with agents not any of the coaching team. We do believe that he (GH) has had issues with agents going back a number of years so that may still be why the club may be struggling re certain players.

It will be GH. He ran the show before McDermott and will be running the show after McDermott. Sounds like a few agents spinning stories because Leeds don't offer big money (which the agents obviously dislike) and agents tales aren't worth taking seriously.

Or you could just handle it correctly and fairly.
And regarding GH and youngsters. McDermit has had control of the rugby side for the last three years for the youngsters and fringe players. Hetherington deals with outside recruitment and the players on the salary cap, and only from a monetary side.
