I've told you before and I'm telling you again.
BMD is being reileived of the managers role at ER but will be employed as Chief scout for the remainder of his contract.
Don't laugh it's what Maasimo has decided

Why would McD agree to that? Wouldn't he be better off refusing, getting sacked taking the money and getting a managers job somewhere else? Just seems too far fetched, it'd be a stretch if he stepped down a position to assistant manager. Sorry mate but can't see this happening at all


2.) 23 Apr 2014
You told us before and again and again. Please stop being the sumo on bin day.


3.) 23 Apr 2014
Your credibility after your previous 'announcement' stating MC had been turned is in tatters .
Enough said

Sorry I meant sulo not sumo

Chief scout? judging by the calibre of the players he's brought in I'd suggest he'd be the last person we'd want scouting! and why would he take it? it wouldn't look good on his CV and I'm sure he's not that desperate for the money.

Could be true after all this is Leeds and after all that has gone on over the last 2-3 months expect the unexpected is what is say.


7.) 23 Apr 2014
Could be true but pinch of salt is needed I'm afraid ;(

could be a good ploy by Massimo to save money, making McD chief scout means no pay off and he would have to resign to take another managers job saving us £1m (estimated). Depends on his contract but I suspect that is a dogs dinner knowing GFH so maybe super shrewd move by the new top dog, MOT

Oh that's a good one Jeff!
Have no problem at all with rumours however far fetched they seem, its what makes this site the best around. Can't really see Brian putting his heart and soul into that role, when he could toodle off pocket a mill and join the Warnock media gravy train. No, so long as its not personal against fellow Leeds fans keep em coming Jeff. Really hope your correct though, would love Zola or Eddie Howe anyone that uses the grass again would be welcome.

I've heard this too and it makes perfect sense


11.) 23 Apr 2014
Who told you that Jeff? Same person who told you that the takeover had failed and the club was in a mess?


12.) 24 Apr 2014
Don't be so ridiculous, that would be Constructive Dismissal. BMD would just sue. I haven't heard such rubbish since your post about MC having his appeal rejected


13.) 24 Apr 2014
BMD is playing desperate hoof ball with a park full of defensive mids and fullbacks in too advanced a position to help out exposed centrebacks. These are the exact same tactics (with almost the exact same players) that led to Warnock's resignation.
Wouldn't surprise me if we get a few loans next season and just let everyone wind down their contract, ready for a major investment in new manager and a whole new squad in 2015. Could be yet another transition season coming with BMD seeing out his contract. Anywhere above mid table is a bonus.

What about Luke Dowling? I'm sure I read that MC respects him and has already been in discussions with him about potential signings. Where would that leave him?

There's a better chance of Survivor becoming a Girl Guide than Brian McDermott becoming a scout again!


16.) 24 Apr 2014
Thats optimism citywhite. Hope you are not correct with that one. But survisor maybe right that Massimmo has decided to make him a scout, but he won't accept it and will be able to claim compo

If he has been offered an alternate position and he decides he does not want it then he should not even be entitled to claim benefits let alone any compensation! If it were true at least it would provide damage limitation as anyone 'scouted' would only be a recommendation and not have to be purchased! I believe MC will take a personal interest with regard an unknown quantity! You don't buy a car without a test drive!

Agreed

I don't know about football contracts, but my contract at work states I can be asked to perform any role within the company, but cannot suffer a wage decrease. It is plausible that the same could be used in football.

A scout is someone who is able to recognize talent when they see it.The players that he has brought in
tell me that he cannot be trusted to perform this function.


21.) 24 Apr 2014
Hi jeff hope you're both correct and wrong about bmc just as long as he is not In charge of our team after derby game .i think LEEDS was far too big for him and the staff he brought to the club any1 can say there were unmercival hindrances going on around the club YES THERE WERE but he had lost the plot. AWhile before Christmas as somemay say our players have been poor from onset of season but he managed to gloss over the cracks and we stumbled on few wins due to Ross MC .without playing well.
I will say I welcomed his signature with gusto when he joined us but there's a whole world between Readig fc and LEEDS UTD fc in size and stature etc so please Brian leave with dignity and have us chear/clap you're name if you ever return to ER, rather than jeer as per the Warlock before you .
LEEDS for life
MOT
