Re: Another leader article confirming fans want Keates out.
The Evening leader back in the day was my go to news paper for Wrexham AFC news. Now it’s just a subterranean rag that fewer and fewer people are buying. Their constant ass kissing of the club and Keates is sentiment to their appalling journalism.

Re: Another leader article confirming fans want Keates out.
The emergence of social media over the past 10-15 years has made local rags very much a secondary or tertiary way of getting information. Not sure you can really blame the paper itself although it is pretty shit.

Re: Another leader article confirming fans want Keates out.
It seems to me that it's no longer a Wrexham Leader as the content appears to be mostly about the Deeside area. I remember the day when there was a Tuesday Leader and a Friday Leader before the Evening Leader arrived in 1973.

Re: Another leader article confirming fans want Keates out.
The Leader has had its day I guess. As others have said, we get our local news on social media these days. I bought the Leader today out of habit, I don’t normally bother now, although I used to get it daily. The most interesting pages were old wedding photos and of course the fans and Mickey comments in the back three pages. I think all newspapers will eventually be phased out.
As for Keates, I think a lot of the blame for the crap we see on the pitch is down to the entire coaching staff, I think there’s five or six who were in a pic recently for somehow winning a monthly award. They’re all dreadful, negative coaching, they’ve lost sight of the fundamentals of football, where even a five year old kid knows it’s all about scoring goals, whilst having a tight defence is a nice to have, especially at this level. Goals win games. I wouldn’t let Keates loose with any money to spend on players, he knows a decent player at times, but as has often been said, it’s soon coached out of them, they end up being played out of position, with negative defensive tactics to work to, and half of them end up not playing at all, whether it’s perceived loss of form, or a falling out with Keates and co. As Mickey said, ideally it’s worth a tilt for promotion this term, simply cos although Torquay are doing ok, it’s still fairly there for the taking. But Keates wouldn’t bring in players to attack and score goals, would he? He’s all for defending, and trying to Nick a single goal then try and defend it - doable at a much higher level, but not in the fifth tier where mistakes are always made at the back.
