Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.
17 May 2018 22:14:25
Hernandez would be a fantastic start but his wages be a big issue. Have said b4, should have sacked PH weeks ago and tried for Marco Silva, he would have the pull to bring in these types of players in. Now it's into the close season and a few managers been sacked, everyone touting their names. Glad we missing out on Barnsley RB to reading, don't think we need him with ailing and Coyle. Let's hope Pearce stays otherwise need a LB, get rid of de Bock and Anita.

Can we maybe get over ph and sacking him. It’s unlikely to happen so move on until sept! Agree about Anita and de Bock. Feel a bit sorry for debock. Obviously Orta thought he good enough. Up rooted him, stuck him in a strange country and he got to play 3 games. $1 mill per game.

I'm with you shadwell. Can't feel confident at all with PH in charge. What self respecting pro is going to come to a team with a coach that has the worst win % in the whole of the football league, I won't be renewing my season ticket to watch more of the same next year

Got to agree with you Aussie What a shame for all concerned. If we keep him, which I think we will, then I hope he has a good pre season, has acclimatised and provides back up to the staying Pearce.

Totally agree Speedy. Many said at the advent of the PL that it would create a massive gulf between the leagues, ands it's now hit a peak. They need to find a way for a more even distribution of finances, not just to the championship, but all the way down to grass roots, even junior football, in my opinion.

It will be a sad and emotional farewell if (and hopefully when) Heck goes. But I'll get over it eventually, though it may take minutes. I'm struggling to think of who I'd really really like as his replacement. Sadly I've gone off the Larry coming home idea. Ranieri comes to mind. I'd have him in a heartbeat. Is he a realistic possibility?

Looks like TP is off. Most likely destination Bournemouth. They're no doubt using the improvement of Lewis Cook as persuasion together with more money of course. TP should stay though because Cook had 100 or championship league games under his belt before leaving. TP should do the same. Can't help but think TP didn't like the criticism which came his way from Heck after a fixture a month ago. Bad management move Heck. Could cost us.

Saddens me that a young player who hasn't yet made it, isn't willing to commit his immediate future to the club that has given him a chance. Is this a case of greed on his part or just our hierarchy not willing to pay him his worth? . Hope it's not a case of another young player thinking he s already made it. TP do yourself a favour stay and prove you are a talent, then in future the money and fame will come, unless you want to sit on some other teams bench with a few more quid in your bank.

Is it really bad management if we sell a promising (yet unkown quality and unproven) left back for say 3/4 million, to free up more funds to sign bartley, who reportedly has an asking price of 6 million. with Swansea now in the champ, and his may lukey lukey playing for leeds, I think he could be swayed to come back. the management move was bad from heck yes, but don't forget were trying to pull off Hernandez, barts, and I'm hearing whispers steve evans is trying to bring coops to posh? we can't have it all, but if selling tp means we getcaptain barts back ill be over the moon.
