One of the reasons I am still in the Hecky stay camp is that I just do not want to go back to the start all over again. He has had time to see just what he has on the payroll. Someone new would have to start again. As we have to have faith in Radz 5 year plan so we must have faith in Hecky to use his first proper window to prune and build his own team. Cull if you will. By the same token we have to have some sort of faith in Orta, not a popular suggestion I know. Some of his buys have been abject failures I know but hopefully some of his young guns will come good. Saving Radz millions and embarrasing quite a few of us.

The thing I am starting to get concerned about is that by now we should be seeing some positive signs from Heckys time in charge. We should be starting to come around to his style and that should include being more resilient and harder to beat, playing with a different style or visible signs of doh g things differently. Unfortunately I can see none of that - we are seemingly getting worse.

To be honest Alf, there have been glimpses of the style of football he wants us to play. The first half vs Preston was the best example to date. Quick link up, fluid passing in attacking areas, but it's been very difficult to judge the defensive set up due to the enforced changes. The successful team have some sort of stability at the back, but have we even managed to finish a game with the same back four recently? Dunno. Just thinking out loud again. Doesn't help the bloke tho.

Brighty, we often saw the pattern of good one half and terrible the next in TC’s days. Just has become less frequent under the heck. So I’d say we have definitely gone about 67 steps backwards.

PH has been given a hospital pass with all this and I think he deserves a chance to build his own team. That said, he knew the set up when he took the job. Watching Dallas lose the ball then jog back as they scored and with PJ’s seeming attitude issues, perhaps PH isn’t as tough as we’ve been led to believe, or maybe they just don’t care. It’s not as if he can drop them all. I’d like to see some U23’s get a chance but there’s little forgiveness if they mess up. The framework needs to change. McCarthy is proven but he’d surely not work with the current set up? I know one thing - if my local pub is showing the match on Friday evening, I’ll be there watching.

LIG Following on from your post about trying the Hock then the Heck. Is it time now we approach the Hick as in former England batsman Graeme Hick? He'd probably do a better job. Or maybe next up is the Huck? He'll be no good though because he loves manyoo but at least he a good singer. Maybe all we really wanted was a good Hack? Ausman, did you identify who got into your computer? He could be a good place to start. New manager sorted 😆

Let's put it to a vote LIG. Past managers versus likely future appointments. We all know Berm will vote for the Hock. Hock, Heck, Hick, Mick Hucknall and Gary McKinnon. Who is or will be the best? I'll go with McKinnon. 24 hours after his appointment we will have lots of money and great players will have mysteriously registered to play for us without realizing or consulting their agents. If we can't get Mckinnon, let's go for Hick. He can knock out the opposition with his Duncan Fearnley. Give Hucknall a miss though.

Brightwhite, Jimmy Saville tried to chat up my then 22 yr old girlfriend in the Flying Pizza. He was telling her that she was "special" and that only men like him could appreciate her.

11 Apr 2018 22:15:11
Just did some research and apparently it was West Brom who came up with it as well as ‘Man U never intended coming home’ with the first letters in the phrase spelling Munich. Apparently even being referred to as Man U is seen as derogatory by some fans but it is common slang now so not viewed by many as offensive. Thanks for the education Ed.
Agree0

{Ed001's Note - that's correct but Man U has become acceptable now as the Glazers (to the ire of many) floated them on the stock market listed as Man U. So it is now the accepted name on stock market listings so it has to be allowable really. And you are very welcome, I would rather people know and so can understand than just thought it was a silly rule.}

{Ed001's Note - I have absolutely no idea on that. Maybe it is similar to the glory, glory thing, which was actually a Spurs' chant originally but people now associate it with Man Utd? The media give so much coverage to them over other teams, that anything they are seen to do becomes seen as theirs, I would guess, and so people outside of the game see United as Man Utd and glory glory as theirs too, simply because they have only seen that on telly.}

Millwall and cardiff have shown success comes with hard working, girtty, route one football. that is what we need. i hope we lose the players who are not good enough for club (beradi, phillips, o'kane, roofe, dallas) stand out for me hope we keep aliskoki, saiz and losogga (i think losogga is very good just not had real chance this season. before you all jump on me please look back at my wood posts when many of you wanted him shot) finally i think Big Sam will be sacked at EVerton please move heaven and earth to get him at leeds and if not big sam then please some nasty horrible manager that realsise good football doesn't belong in the championship and the best way to overachieve is by play hoof ball and horrible football.

Fulham have a great team but didn't go up last year due to a more direct hudds who won the prize, Wolves are different league so can not compare and Fulham who are great are are neck and neck with a far poorer cardiff team who are scrappy hoofball direct. and then for me the team and manager of the year are millwall and harris. Just come up no budget no players no class, yet still ripping up the league and over performing. Anyone can spend millions, play nice football and do well like man city, wolves and baraclona. However we don't have the money so we need to over achieve like the direct nasty scrappy hoofball cardiff and millwall. Millwall never have any poession they never play nice football but are in top six. I would take that every day of the week for next season and unless we get borught by some oil tycoon over the summer we need to think about how we can do well next year

Agree with you Brighty and Bermo. Whatever Millwall lack in skill they make up for in effort. They chase and cover for each other for the full 90mins. Of course Bermo, if the only way up was hoofball I would take it but I much prefer to get it down and pass our way thro teams coupled with a high tempo, high pressing game. We have proved that we can play this game and that it wins matches; otherwise we would now be in deep (even deeper) doodoo.

He brought Barnsley up from the brink of relegation, won a Mickey Mouse L1/2 cup, and kept them up with no budget, and then still didn't drop into the bottom 3 when all the best players were sold. (I'll ignore the "it's someone else's team", you have to carry it on) . It's been pretty sh1t, but he's drawn a rum card, and I think he can move us forward, if he's given the opportunity.

I thought orta thought it out. I thought his transition period indicated he was smart. I thought he understood business. He does. But he dosent understand football. He has made good football decisions but bad football decisions. He has no money. He really has no clue. So he needs to get investors or sell. His season ticket sales will drop 50% so decision time is now. I never really thought too much about orta. And he has proved that me not thinking about him was wise. Regardless of the budget he was given. His scouting has seemingly been poor. So bye bye. I was willing to give ph the chance. But leeds are a bridge too far for him. He is out of his debt. Shame in a way cause he was willing to sacrafice his love for barnsley for a go with leeds. Seems like he and us made wrong decision. As for the players? Most are tripe or most don't care. i'm not interested in not caring. i'd rather a few with passion than ability. I don't like wimps. I don't like season is over attitude. You are getting paid and i expect you to earn that pay. There is so much wrong with team. Draft more youngsters in because we need to know who we can rely on next year. The more we can rely on the less we need to buy. i'm worried. In general. i'm worried because i think next year may well be worse. It will take lots and lots of football logic and luck and smart buying for next season to improve. And i look at set up now and think that's an inpossibility. How did it go so wrong so quick. Radz got it wrong. All radz football decisions have got us here. They have all been bad bad bad!

After watching Ekuban a few times it strikes me that his problem is slowness of thought and movement. He seems to need "one more touch" before making his move, thus giving defenders time to get in a last tackle. If this cannot be trained out of him then he will never be a quality striker. He may get top of the assists table but I am afraid never the goals table.

Happy for Radz to come good and hope he does. Currently his plan is not working. Some of the other people involved have to take responsibility for their roles in this current situation. That usually starts with the manager, but we have already tried that and gone backward. We have to revert back to a solid defensive platform . Like under George Graham, this was also the foundations of Monks plan and his legacy defensively formed the basis of TC's early success. Back to basics, simple football, defensively solid and clean sheets, even boring football to start. These are the first ingredients Allardyce, Pulis and Moyes bring to the table, then they build on that strength.

Please not another swing of the merry go round. Let's just take a deep breath and think. To Radz; if Hecky has the squad and the training under control and they all buy into his vision then why sack him. Surely just the opposite is the way forward. Back him give him such funds as you have and give him a voice in selection of recruits and give him a summer to shape a team. Everyone is up in arms about another defeat. To a certain extent I can understand but to me these last few games, results are secondary. What the games are, are confirmation of who he is to keep and who cannot be saved, coupled with the emergence of young blood. So far he has tried Pearce, O'Connor and BPF, so far none have let him down so let's just say To hell with the results. let's have a look at what we have on the books before we go and spend money in the summer.

Can't fully understand the calls of Radz out. If my memory serves me right, under previous owners we have gone into administration, been starved of funds, had a volcano making decisions and now we have stability. A man who is trying to construct a sound financial base for the future. Sure the medicine is hard to take but to get better we have to take it. Also the last time (and the time before) we were up for sale I do not remember any soft touch billionaires being remotely interested. Yes, I am with you what we need is a football loving, Leeds United loving, Multi billionaire but let's get real he just does not exist at the moment. Let's just be careful what we wish for. Remember the last time we got an influx of Middle Eastern funds we managed to find the only Skint Arab Bank. What we have is what we have. Radz is trying his best. He does not have enough money for some of you. That sadly will always be the case. Until our mythical sugar daddy emerges we must tread the path of caution and accept that success will not come overnight. Yes he will make poor decisions but then so would you running a beast like Leeds United but at least he is trying. let's cut him some slack. let's give him time to bring his plans to fruition. Until the time Bill Gates throws money at us let's just knuckle down and go slowly into the future. Like many of you out there I am of advancing years so would like to see Prem footy before I die but if the price of a return to long glory days is that my children wallow in it then so be it. I will keep taking my many tablets and, as always, keep hoping.

Totally agree Leodis. The queue to buy us is non existent as opposed to "short". Radz out is a call that can't be fulfilled in short or to even medium term. Orta out, and even PH out is something that can happen immediately, and fine, people can ask for those. I personally don't think it would move us forward any more quickly, but everyone can have their view.

A well considered post Leodis. I too think Radz will come good and whilst far from happy with how it is, i think that he is trying to take us ib the rifht direction. I woukd sack the rest of em though. Neither use nor ferkin ornament. They make my party sausage look fit for purpose.

Tollesbury, Mick McCarthy would not come to Leeds as a head coach. He would need a say in recruitment. I know some on here would not want him but that applies to whoever we have as manager/coach. If people look at how he has had to operate at Ipswich this season with very little funds, In fact during his last 3 seasons. The Owner at Ipswich allowed Roy Keane to spend loads but not Mick, he had to work with limited funds. Mick is a good solid manager who speaks his mind, another reason he would not fit into our owners plans, say what you like but at least respect Mick McCarthys record as a football manager.

Solid post Mezzer. Radz is going to have to change his structure if he's to attract the calibre of "manager" that people are asking for. Until that happens, we are stuck with "a coach".

I am going to be controversial here and say that sacking Orta is not going to improve our performances. Also, I am not entirely sure we can blame Orta for the poor transfers as surely he is bound financially by AR thus he has to find the what he can for peanuts! Give Orta a big budget and I am sure with his contacts he would bring in the best.

agree with the Orta out sentiment as he is responsible for the dross that now wears our shirt. Combined with the pitifully small transfer budget which if a mistake is made with a signing leaves little room for manoeuvre. Other clubs seem to find decent footballers in the lower leagues whilst we seem incapable and go abroad to European lower leagues, and we have seen the results of that policy since Boxing day. Gutless, technically bereft, embarrassing performances from all but a few and by "few" I really mean "all" of the so called senior players. It's not their fault that they aren't good enough but it is Ortas for bringing them to Elland Road. Orta out!

Because Radz can take steps to improve things. If we had a billionaire ready to take over and invest fair enough, but we don't. The players brought in are Ortas, therefore he should be made accountable for bringing in shit!

What a lod of old Tosh! Poor effort in fact no effort at all and the Heck looks as uninterested and unmotivated as the players! Grim times ahead for our great club! Gutted! Radrizzani needs to get a grip starting with getting rid of at least 8 or 9 players, Orta and Rockbottom! Or sell it to someone who cares and knows how to run a football club! They MUST have the funds to pay higher wages and Quality players badly needed for the Spine and flair as metissk once said on here you pay peanuts you get monkeys! And there's plenty hanging around thorpe arch! Seriously worried and dreading next season already!

Don't understand when, with an injury hit squad (which would hit any team) one of your best players, Saiz, does not start and though Lassoga is far from ideal Grot is preferred.

Not sure about Saiz but guess lassie didn’t start because he is not going to be around next season, not showing much interest and grot/ekuban have something to prove as they are fighting for a place in the first team next year.

I suggested a couple of months ago that we would struggle to get 55 points. That may well be the case unless Heckingbottom's former team give a chance. We have been poor for some time. Even our better players would struggle to get into the starting eleven of a team pushing for promotion. A further downside is we can't keep recruiting and sacking every few months. It creates instability and uncertainty. What decent manager would come knowing if he didn't change thinks round straight away he was going to be out of a job. Add to that having a recruitment 'guru' makes the manager/coach not the main man in that context and the players won't be 'his' necessarily and that diminishes him. Add to that the present 'guru' is Orta'. It's perfect storm. Get out of that one!

This is what happens when the owner of the club makes hasty decisions and sacks the manager and rush in to replace with a manager with a losing mentality that's far more clueless than the previous coach, the playing side of the club is in a total mess thanks to Radz And Orta there as clueless as the manager when coming to buying players and hiring a coach there's no doubt about it we are heading for league 1 next season under the current regime and recruitment policy of players and hiring of poor coaches that's happy for Orta to get players in while you have coaches at Leeds like sackingbottom Orta will always have a job.
