Reported that Neil Redfern is going to get a run as Manager. All those surprised, please stand up. Silence.

Seems like a lot of people linked are distancing themselves from the job, I wonder if Cellino's reputation is coming bk to bite him on the bum. I hope if it does go wrong for Redders that they allow him to return to his original post. Not that I want it to go wrong obviously it'd be great if he gets us playing attractive football and bringing through the youth as well I just don't think Cellino will be patient enough.

nice but again mc saving money

If its true it's bad news and will end in tears - and not too long to wait either. I also don't think Redfearn has it in him to deliver. Fine with kids but not the seniors. Bad all round. Who is next for the academy?

If so then MC not really learning from past mistakes, NR will be better than hock for sure but not what the club need right now i.e. a strong coach/manager who knows how to handle multi-national squads and has a track record in this league.

NR ok for short-term but not for moving us on longer term, seems no long term plan by doing this but then again MC may change his mind in a couple of days.

I'm with you Johno. If he does get a run, here's to it being successful, but if not let him go back to his original job where he has been doing so well.

MC is in the States atm, and I'd be amazed if he appointed a new coach without meeting them at length. This maybe just his way of saying Redders will stay at the helm until he makes his choice - maybe a few weeks or so.
Personally don't have a problem with that, think we are in pretty safe hands - and if a few weeks deliberation leads to a better choice than one made too hastily, so much the better imo

We do not know what is going on in the background. I would rather have NR give it a go until the right person can 'man up' and take on the role rather than knee jerk and employ any muppet! If it al becomes too much then as most people have implied - he steps back into his previous role. It makes financial sense if he is happy to give it a go. I don't think the players or the club has anything to lose - Leeds will need more staff though, we cannot afford to neglect the reserves or the youth teams. A top name who has a good pedigree would be fantastic but they are not exactly queuing up outside ER are they!

Redders as manager eh!
Seeing MC has been looking for a COACH maybe that's why it's taking so long ;)

Would be a good idea for MC to take a few weeks to look for the right coach, in the interim take a look at NR to see if he turns the team around.

At Bolton at least he picked a better formation, included a mix of the new players and the kids. Didn't keep picking Austin, Tongue, and the other tried and failed players that NW, BM, and DH kept selecting.

DH kept picking the BM failures even when MC had bought a dozen new players - dumb! no wonder MC sacked him.

To me, the biggest worry about this is that once he is the manager, there is no going back.

He's working wonders with the reserves and academy, do we really want to lose such an asset to the club by giving him the managerial position on a whim?
