Nice to hear the fans singing for Evans today. If he stays or goes he did his best and always taught highly of Leeds as a football club. Will wish him all the best in whatever he does.

Agree 100% great to see fans behund manager team and players I think there have been better managers before she and will be better in future but there certainly have been a lot worse.

We really do not do things well at Leeds, the manager has no idea whether he should be turning up for work on Monday, the players do not know when they can book holidays or whether they are playing at Leeds next season, we have a president facing a ban again, his son getting fined and various court actions still to take place.

The rumours about the Italian goalkeeper becoming manager are very worrying, we have some of our best players entering their last year on their contracts, and nothing appearing to be sorted very quickly, although I appreciate they could be in the background. I urge the chairman to get Cook and Taylor signed up, and see even more season tickets fly off the shelves.

I really hope we do not get a second rate European coach who has achieved nothing, and then lasts a few months when everyone realises he brings nothing to the table and results are poor.

We have no main shirt sponsor and have missed out on a vast amount of money because of it, any sponsorship should be a huge deal bearing how fantastic our fans are across the world who would buy the shirts and then seen on our extensive coverage on TV every season.

I think like many others that SE should be given a chance he has done pretty well with a weak squad, but give him the opportunity to run the team himself, provide him a decent budget and secure the futures of the young stars that we have and we might have a chance.

Get rid of the majority of our defence but keep Cooper, Beradi, Coyle and Taylor the rest can go for me. Sign a playmaker, two centre halves, a quality winger and a striker and the squad would be good enough to challenge.

I look at Leicester tonight they appear to have great owners who are tuned into the fans, the players the community and everybody is working towards one goal, we seem so far away from their position at the moment.

Still it's a new season in a few months, the season tickets are going well, just back the manager, and we all know what happens if we start winning at the start of next season, we will get on a roll and 40,000 will turn up week in week out, but give us a second rate manager if SE goes and we don't get the players in then we will go the same as the last 5 years and be a mid table team.

I like no shirt sponsor, it doesn't bring vast amounts of money to the club anyway at championship level also it's the best looking kit we've had in years.
Everything else I pretty much agree with.

Just when everyone including Steve himself thinks he's gone wouldn't it be just like Cellino to keep him.

Someone said, 'never a dull moment being a Leeds fan'.
I beg to differ.
These are our finishing stats for the last five seasons:
2015/ 16. 13th, -8 goal difference, 59pts.
2014/ 15. 15th, -6 goal difference, 56pts.
2013/ 14. 15th, -8 goal difference, 57pts.
2012/ 13. 13th, -9 goal difference, 61pts.
2011/ 12. 14th, -3 goal difference, 61pts.
It's good job there are always interesting things going on, off the field because in the last five years there has been precious little worth shouting about on it!
Please, please Massimo choose the right coach, spend some money and give us something to look forward to next season.

Danum I said " never a dull moment" in your post you begged to differ. Then in same breath say " good there's always something interesting going on" em hello.

Hang on wex.
You said 'it's never dull being a Leeds fan', which basically I'm agreeing with. (Apart from on the pitch)

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 21:59:44
I think Danum said OFF the field Wex.
And he's right!

07 May 2016 22:48:42
On the pitch off the pitch its all part of being a Leeds fan like I said its never dull . Ups and downs highs and lows.

Danum, great consistence though!

Nothing between them in the league table so over the season fairly neck and neck.

{Ed001's Note - I know he dreams of being double teamed by you two.....}

Nice honest interview with SE after match. Deserves to stay I reckon .

It's because he deserves it that he will be released. Cellooney calls shots remember.

I think the players have respect for Steve. I just hope Massimo can see this and give him a go . We weren't far off. What have we to lose giving Evans a fair crack at it. He could be our Karanka.

13th, not bad and so close to a top half finish. Would have settled for that when Uwe was sacked.

Well done big Steve. Stay or go, not down to me unfortunately. I appreciate what you've done this season. Thank you.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

07 May 2016 14:57:01
Agree Luc. Thanks Steve. Appreciate your efforts. Best we had in years. Just not convinced good enough for next giant step for mankind.
Could have been way worse. Though. Redders or larry. Heaven forbid.

Agree1 Disagree1

07 May 2016 15:08:24
It just sums up our inconsistency. Equaliser due to a defensive mistake. In terms of Evans, right or wrong, can anyone see him staying? Cellino maybe many things but he is not indecisive. If he was staying it could have been announced days ago at least. I just can't see it happening, the only strange thing for me is that he has been allowed to see out the season once we were safe.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 15:32:44
Agree scoops unfortunately. He's gone
Right or wrong bit like soap for those old enough
Confused? U will be!

i agree well done SE. I am leaning towards him going but he has done a good decent job. aus your serious about larry or just trying to give me a heart attack. larry is best manager we have had since wilko . look what he has done at presont? I recently offered nootts a dule to the death for saying I talk rubbish. one more negatvie larry comment and you shall have the same offer. we shall duel on the sydny opera house to the death.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 15:44:34
A shame if we let Evans go . But looks like our loss will be someone else's gain as seems 2 or 3 other chairmen think he's the man for them.

07 May 2016 17:05:10
I think he has gone, he did a job for us and I would give him a chance but as long as we get better then fine, just don't want some no name manager coming in as won't make sense.

so either big SE to stay or better in, but would be no suprise if MC does a mad thing, I hope not.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 May 2016 07:08:50
Said at start of season preston would do well and some on here were like no way you got that wrong. Any team larrys managing will compete.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 14:34:25
Give Steve a chance! I hope there's an announcement soon. Big Steve for a big push next season. Marching on together. Here's to the future lads it's never dull being a Leeds United fan .

rare disagreement wex, only slightly if fat man stays fair enough but I hope we get, tim sherwood, nigle pearson, chirs houton, watford fella if he gets sacks or sonemone like that. and before the boring antio leeds negivtive lot start, yes one of them would come to us if they don't egt a better offer esle where.

Sherwood not for me has done nothing.

Agree0 Disagree1

07 May 2016 16:36:05
I think Sherwood has potential. He did a good short term job at Spurs and kept Villa up last season against the odds. I think they should have kept him this year. It will not have been him that bought the dross that took them down.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 16:46:01
i agree about sherwood but he got good results at spurs and got villa trying if nothing else, he knows prem well and could get few good players due to his influence. think he would get most from team and evans don't really do that.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 18:12:31
Sherwood a no from me. Has no class hanging around clubs when a manager looks under threat. Giving his opinion before the poor guy gets sacked.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 May 2016 12:01:26
Not inspired by midfield selection. Wood will be lonely up front. Maybe he is picking players he knows he will have next season. Mowat and murphy together have never cut it for me. Prove me wrong please, let's end on a win.

2-1 hopefully as we can't keep a clean sheet but realistically I think a draw.
