Warnocks says some really good managers will be available in the summer, who and if they're so good why are they becoming available?

Just because someone has been sacked doesn't mean therre not good, there previous club could have been better than leeds?

Best thing to do is not listen to anything that comes out of NW mouth. The guy is simply protecting his own reputation. Sad really as I was very optimistic at the appointment 18 months ago. Still, you win some, you lose some. MOT.

Its Warnock - he's talking about himself! bob_nohope

Why is anyone actually listening to Warnock any way?

Clubs are by definition more willing to agree to let ambitious managers -and players- depart in the close season, when there is the time to recruit adequate replacements. Poyet is the man! Chapel A

Why should we listen to Warnock? because he's been in the game over 40 years and knows more about football than you or me ever will that's why, He has been very successful and is well respected ( if not loved ) in the game. Ex players that have done well rave about him. He's not my cup of tea, never wanted him, but nobody can say he dosn't know the game inside out. He lost it here at Elland Road, but under very trying circumstances. My big gripe with him was the style of football we played and not being able to sign that little bit of extra class that all teams need to get out of this league, maybe that wasn't his fault we will never know.
But it must be better for the new board to take his advice than just ignoring it and blundering on and signing the wrong guy for our great club, as they are very inexperienced. I am old enough to remember the board not taking Don Revies advice of Jonny Giles / Big Jack and they brought in that disaster Clough who really did nearly ruin us.
Just my opinion of course but we need all the help and advice going at the moment.

There's all sorts of reasons a manager can suddenly become available like they asked for more money and didn't get any and get sacked for arguing.
There contract run out and decided they want a new challenge.
Got sacked because there club feels there's someone better.

Oh so warnock is now mystic meg is he and can see fallouts or disagreements in advance; any good nanager whos contract was running down woud already have been linked, he also said yeaterday that we wouldn't pay some of the compensation figures being mentioned,. So give me some names, which quality managers?

Managers do talk to each other, they probably know much more than the papers and us, so its quite probable Warnock knows of what other managers are going to do before it becomes public.

Because not all good managers have great seasons. Look at Arsene Wenger. Cleary a good manager but had a rubbish few seasons.

Warnock as well. His obviously a good manager. But again. Never got full backing from the board which resulted in a poor season.


Try using your head because random words just come out which both lack substance and meaning.

Expect Warnock's recommendations will all, by sheer coincidence, have the same agent as him. One last backhander to add to the burgeoning retirement pot he's ripped from the faithful.

So give some names of the good managers we won't cost a lot, will come to Leeds and haven't been mentioned or are not available now.

There are always good managers available but the fact is we won't be paying top rate so don't get your expectations up. David Moyes at Everton will be available but I can't see him being attracted to Leeds or Leeds being able to finance his salary. let's be realistic in our expectations. Sturrocks available : (

Personally I would like to keep warnock at club for 1 more season but moved upstairs with gary mac back as manager. the only players we have signed of note imo were gary mac signings eg becchio snodgrass. without these signingswe would probably be still in 3rd div. I feel if we had kept gary mac as manager instead of going down the road of panic sacking like so many clubs do we would be back in prem by now. i'm not saying becchio and snodgrass are prem players but mac was building a team around his signings to get there. i'm not sure if mac could work in harness with warnock but I believe with macs eye for talent and warnocks knowhow it could be the new clough and taylor. don't get me wrong I hated clough and taylor but if these two could get things moving i'm all for it. the other option i'd go for is joe jordan with gary mac. mot.

So no one ha any names

Martin oneill to be new leeds manager in summer

Alan curbishley look no further

Strong indication of takeover part 2 becoming a reality with Steve Parkin and an unnamed "very very wealthy" Saudi buying 51% share in LUFC. ( oh no not another so called very very rich Arab) This posted on NewsNow LUFC.

LUFC Always MOT

Someone (a foreign investor) has bought 10% today.

Word is GFH to announce sale of 10% shares to their 1st strategic investor today. (Thanks Ken from Monaco!). with more similiar deals to follow in the coming weeks / months.

What a load of tosh Pearson still denying any interestin LUFC and yet another mystery buyer I think I can smell bovine excrement!

OS gfh have sold 10% to international investment bank based in bahrain with aabed al-zeera joining the board (comments welcome
please)

Expect same pessimism from Leeds fans?

Could be good for us, need to believe

I actually said to my colleague at work how some of our fans do my head in. My argument for this was now we have sold 10% I bet you get all the doom and gloom merchants saying its them selling back to Ken despite them saying they want investment from day one. Thank you Nolansonline, you proved my point for me.

I used to think we had the best fans in the world. how wrong I was all these conspiracy theories they named a bank as selling it in the official statement Ken doesn't own a bahrain based bank mate.

Why would Ken want to buy 10% back?

I just wish Bates would f**k off out of our club then we wouldn't get this crap.

He's had his pound of flesh.
