Warnock Still Building Pensioners Eleven At Leeds

So why did Warnock Junior join Warnock Senior at Leeds rather than link up with West Ham? Well those Leeds fans who can read might note what Allardyce said: "he received a phone call from a Championship club who made him a better, long-term offer".

Now the key words here, of course, are "long term offer". West Ham wanted a stop gap and were unwilling to saddle themselves with a 31 year old who is already 12 months beyond his sell by date. Old Big Gob, on the other hand, doesn't worry about little matters like a player's age. Why should he? He plans to quit at the end of the season so he needn't worry that half his squad will be receiving treatment for arthritis within the next 24 months.

How long is Stephen Warnock's contract? 18 months according to the Yapping Post, so West Ham were presumably offering him a deal until the end of the season. No wonder the guy prefers the insurance of another year's salary in the undemanding surroundings of the Championship!

And whilst Leeds fans have multiple orgasms at the "capture" of Warnock, perhaps they might stop and consider the quality of the player they have signed. He has been on loan at Bolton and where are they in the table exactly? Below Leeds. And presumably they weren't desperate to land him as there was no talk of them being in the race for his signature.

I blogged my opposition to signing Warnock yesterday for a reason - and it had nothing to do with him now joining Leeds. Quite simply, he isn't good enough for West Ham. And, if I am honest, it is embarrassing that we were even linked with him.

But all that's irrelevant. I was impressed with Leeds on Sunday and I thought White coped well at left back. It's rough justice if he is now replaced by a knackered old has been - but that, sadly, is Old Big Gob's way.

And there's perhaps another motive for signing him. Now when the Leeds faithful call for Warnock to be sacked, Old Big Gob will explain to the absentee owners that the fans are calling for the head of  "the useless cnut at left back"!

    Your other assessments of the older players has been so far off the mark up to now thats its laughable. The fact is he would prefer to be with the famous Leeds united rather than the insignificant West Ham..and who can blame him?
    West Ham are on the plummet and Leeds are on the rise....

    Leaving aside the usual not-very-fond-of-Leeds stuff, it does seem ironic that we appear to be after Warnock, who West Ham apparently wanted as cover for McCartney, who didn't exactly cover himself in glory at Leeds during his stay with us. Mysterious and convoluted are the ways of football. It may well be that old Warnock sees slightly less old Warnock as someone who can do a job regularly at full-back, and therefore release White and/or Byram to raid further forward. But who really knows how his mind works??

    Sounds like sour grapes again! Poor big gob Sam missed out again. Why I ask. Well its simple. He wants a big club not a club competing with Leyton Orient and not being disrespectful to them.

    So of all the comments you could have replied to , you chose the one where the writer was slightly inaccurate. What he is correct about is that without Leeds you are nothing.
    We know that the Leeds side v the West Ham side is around 50/50 for hits..you told us that.
    Give us the facts sometime on how many Leeds hits that tune in to this side, then to the West Ham side?
    That stat will show that not only do you need the Leeds fans for half your hits, the same fans are making up a big % of your West Ham hits as well. In summary you are like one of those parasite fish swimming alongside the big fish ( Leeds united are your big fish).
