Rumours growing - Steve Clark is talking with LUFC about the vacancy - I think this would be a very very very good appointment 😃😃😃

Believable75 Unbelievable21

Hugely impressive if massimo can pull it off. Would be perfect for LUFC.

NO part-timers please.

NO huge gambles please.

NO left fielders please.

Just someone who knows what they're doing PLEASE

This would be even better than getting rid of Ken. It would show that we're going to be serious contenders for next season.

Agree1 Disagree2

Doubt we would pay what he would demand

Agree3 Disagree0

Are you really really really really really sure?

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree with his growing support for Clarke but MC will decide no matter what. If todays reported signing come off this may sway the like Clarke to come (if asked)

IMO Steve Clarke has a vast amount of coaching skills and quality, experience gained from his Newcastle days with Gullit and Chelsea with Mourinho. Worked as assistant also under Zola at West Ham. Success with Liverpool coaching, First managerial position with West Brom is arguably considered a success - Manager of the month (once), finishing 8th.
6 major honours as a player, incl Chelsea player of the year 94.
MC, stick you're long haul hat on and grab Clark. Change you ways and take advice from those around you, You all work for our club.
He has the credentials its up to you to show your commitment to him, nice long contract maybe. Give us stability.
The others in the race are either unknown qualities or we have been there before, New blood and vision needed, after all 12/13/14 new players to deal with. So deal with it. MOT

I'd go along with that, he's certainly got the 'been there and done that' t shirt. Depends on whether he fancies locking horns with MC tho' doesn't it?

Step dad is a big west brom fan, says he took a good Hodgson side and killed it. Also what he explained sounded like our previous 2 coaches; predictable, poor tactics and subs doesn't sound positive to me but again will reserve judgement

Agree0 Disagree0

Great if we can pull it off IMO

Time for someone who knows what they are doing.

In cellino we trust! Lol

According to sources he held talks with MC on friday morning.

Agree0 Disagree0

If Steve Clarke is mad enough to take the job then I will be chuffed to bits.

I see it as MC's last chance to gain some creditability. If he takes the pis* out of Clarke and disrespects him, then he really will have problems attracting decent managers in future. 36 coaches in 22 years suggests M is rubbish at selecting & keeping coaches!

Agree0 Disagree1

According radio leeds MC said he has only spoken to managers/coaches agents so far and reckons he has been inundated with calls from agents over the vacant job.

Agree0 Disagree0

MC might have chosen 30 great coaches I think its probably that they tried to question his decisions and ethics and MC don't like being told what to do.

Only my opinion mate but I find it hard to believe you can hire 30 coaches and not find a decent one ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

A proper appointment this time if it happens, don't get to coach with mourinho if your if your no good, he was unlucky to lose his job at west brom MOT

Agree1 Disagree0

Give Redders a big chance

Agree0 Disagree0

This could be Redfearn's time. Knows the youth -and they are our biggest asset; and at the same time is positive about integrating the Italians, and is fully aware of all the problems that have riddled our club in recent times. Think MC may just bide his time and see how the next couple of matches under Redders go before deciding.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would much rather Redfearn continues his good work with the youth setup. Give him the managers job and you potentially end up with him sacked in a few months. That would be a loss, in my opinion.

Adryan landing in Leeds any minute now according to reports on twitter - hope this is true.

If so, let's hope NR can coax a good result from the team against Bolton. We don't want another Viviani situation!

He was sacked by catania twice but got loads of club records with them so yeah

Agree1 Disagree1

Record points haul. most club home wins, saved teams from going down, got teams promoted. yet also sacked a lot so mixed bag have to wait and see how it pans out I think

Agree1 Disagree0

Well if he's used to getting sack he will fit MC, s bill lol

Mc looking to hijack Wigan's move for Andy Delort, MOT

Believable35 Unbelievable49

I don't think this will happen. We don't need another striker unless we sell/cancel contracts for at least 2 first.

Agree3 Disagree1

MC
Unless he's changed his mind Said himself 3 weeks ago he's NOT interested in him ;(

Andy MOT
Cellino change his mind never, who would have thunk it.

i know some people high up at Leyton Orient and a coach at palace (both knew about mcdermontt well before it was annouced) they have mentioned a name massimo rentto (or something like that) anyone know anything of him? My stance with next coach is this. If good and proven give time. If unknown give ten games. if another joke like hockaday give him no time, want him out from off and get on back unless he proves us wrong with results. have to let MC know it is our club and we were here first. I love MC but we should not stand for poor coaches they are the most important people. I started sacked in the morning 12 minutes into millwall game and hope all leeds fans do the same if we get another joke coach. Respect is earnt and I hope the next coach already has our respect

Massimo Rentto sounds a bit chessy to me.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2014 11:03:44
Cellino already said to Phil hay he wants another Englishman.

Agree2 Disagree1

B
Without searching I've no recollection of the guy, bookies have another Italian as Fav and he's not got a brilliant track record either.
Can see a few more vodkas being downed lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Roloando moroan or something like that (spoke to the guys after a vodka) that's the guy they reckon was right with mcdermott but that though people they knew this is more a grape vine so they say. I do trust them as they are not wind ups but we shall see. Is he any good (now I have given something like the real name). if english hope it someone I know. don't mind if italian as my knowledge is a bit sktechy after channel for goals loasso stopped by we should all know a bit about the englishman I hope

Agree0 Disagree1

Looking at the Sack Race website, the guys who are British, unemployed, and would consider are:
* Steve Clarke (probably too expensive for MC)
* Neil Lennon (not as expensive, but probably the same)
* Chris Hughton

I know a lot of you like Gary McAllister. His greatest strength at Leeds was in identifying really good players at a low cost, which wouldn't even be in the job description under this scenario.

If this was broadened to guys with experience in England, I'd love to have Oscar Garcia or Roberto Di Matteo (way too expensive).

If it were me, I'd hire a guy who is young, loves playing attractive football, and can connect with young players. That's why I wouldn't go after Pulis, even though he's one of the best managers in the UK.

Agree1 Disagree0

Roland's maran that's the guy was telling you about B, evens fav with bookies get 2 bottles of vodka in bud ;(

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers andy, bit worried as one guy is a coach at palace and was a top flight goalkeeper for 20 years, the other on the board at orient, both proper football men and both have said they haven't heard of him. I shall google him now, if no go I shall be on back straight away (you all know me) if unproven or young I shall give him a chance even I am not that unresonable. well not quite

Agree0 Disagree0

Just read up on the guy. bit mixed but happy to give a chance. for a start he has managed in leagues and not none leauge. He has saved teams from rleigation and led one team to a record points haul and home wins so not all bad. putting two and two together it seems he starts well and then is later sacked once the teams platto (almost a victim of his success which we have all seen a lot). don't know much and what I have seen is mixed but read things that look promoising or at least potential to be decent/good. will give this guy a chance (for now)

Agree0 Disagree0

Poor old andy, was you hoping the next manager had the same first name as our last one so you won't have to bin all them I LOVE DAVE tshirts lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Martyn if ya can't handle your drink stop posting at that silly hour little BOY ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Ever thought I may work nights?

Agree0 Disagree0

Well Martyn if you work nights read MY posts carefully buddy!
You will find I never wanted the Hock but did say he deserved a fair chance like anyone who takes the job ;)
