Whoever it is, can we please just support the new gaffer? Is that possible?
01 Jun 2018 23:58:23
We will if he is any good.
02 Jun 2018 09:05:00
Support the manager if he's any good is 100% right. Why back an idiot and show the rest of the world that Leeds fans are dullards and show we're game savvy not SHEEP! ?
01 Jun 2018 20:03:15
Not sure how Bielsa is pronounced but, if it's as I think it is, can we call him Bub . like Bielsabub, he's already got the devil, Orta, put aside;)
01 Jun 2018 22:33:21
Zidane seen in Leeds tonight! My mate has had a few though! 😂😂
01 Jun 2018 19:16:24
New manager, /coach whom ever they may be will have to deal with the same situation as the last 2 previous puppets. Namely Orta, unless we are going to switch transfer targets from the names given that we have been reportedly chasing. None will be the new guys choice, so what's going to change?
02 Jun 2018 07:37:47
Mezzer your right mate, Orta has to go, otherwise things will be the same.
01 Jun 2018 19:03:41
By heck, I'm glad he's gone. Paul Cook anyone? Got a brilliant recent history of getting teams promoted and made me rich when Wigan beat citeh in the cup. A Wigan fan at work a few weeks ago says that they'll be lucky to hold onto him.
01 Jun 2018 17:45:09
Leeds United, and by that I mean Andrea Radrizzani has emerged from this with no credit whatsoever, in fact it smacks at a shambolic situation reflecting poorly on the top mans' ability to decisively manage. After panicking last January sacking TC then gambling to bring in another, untried, Manager (after the window had closed) and now sacking him before this one has taken effect smacks at amateur night at the top. Surely the even less professional hand of Orta has played some part in this, in at least procuring the dagger even tho he technically did not strike the blow. Methinks it was the behind the scenes heavy discussions that did for poor Mr Hecky. He paid the price of (quite rightly) wanting a say in new player recruitment. A grip that Victor Orta was in no mood to relinquish. In fact what has further emerged is the confirmation that against many fans better wishes Orta is staying and is the true power behind the throne. Sad to say that we are heaven bound to repeat the same mistakes again (and again) until Radz clips the wings of his friend and appoints a strong no nonsense man who refuses to doff the cap to Orta and will not be denied his rights unfortunately with the goings on recently the "right" man just may not want to jump onto the merry go round.
01 Jun 2018 18:23:17
Good post Leodis Orta is pulling the strings Radz has put his faith in the wrong guy if Bielsa is as volatile as they say can't see him coming if Orta has sway in who he wants to bring in same with Ranieri Mick McCarthy big Sam or anyone else time Radz got to the root of most of Leeds problems which in my opinion is Orta needs to get the next appointment right before fans rebel needs the fans much more than he needs Orta.
01 Jun 2018 18:34:41
Well said Leodis.
01 Jun 2018 19:28:37
Take a breath rhino;)
01 Jun 2018 19:58:26
Leodis, this is the man you all love and the great saviour of our club, not you don’t like what he done talk about change with the wind
01 Jun 2018 20:59:10
Whiteman, give Leodis his dues, he is only saying it as it is. Regardless of he has previously backed Radz. We all have praised Radz for what he has done with by ER back etc, Leodis is no different. His post says the truth that Radz has not covered himself in glory, Radz I believe is a bit nieave at times and allows his passion for business to be swayed by the wrong people ie Orta. Respect to Leodis.
01 Jun 2018 21:59:08
Well I was right again, eh guys? As I said get in the right man and pay him right. Now Radz let's see what you've learned/ I was right with TC and right with Sackingbottom. :-) Sackingbottom was NEVER the right choice and I hope you guys who backed him will hang your head in shame.
01 Jun 2018 22:53:48
No. Maybe he wasn't the right choice, but he was the choice, so some supported him. Opinions count. Support counts. Support is everything, thro thick and thin.
01 Jun 2018 23:52:16
This must be the umpteenth time I have said it: ORTA OUT! and a strong tried and tested Manager who player wise does the hiring and firing. Until this happens we will go nowhere.
02 Jun 2018 05:50:58
Stafford Lol 😆
02 Jun 2018 09:12:29
Dont agree on support thru thick and thin. Do you think Sunderland supported the fiasco at their club? The manager is there to do a job. if he doesn't get it done time for his P45.LIKE ALL OF US! Stop all the Feeling Sorry For. Rockbottom'll move on and forget us Leeds fans. He's was an employee like the rest of us and handsomely paid at that. He's not 4 year child that needs praise and support. he's a grown man!
02 Jun 2018 10:00:07
Yes guys I have supported Radz in the past and still do. I support that his heart is in the right place and that he means well. Yes I know sometimes for both the club and himself - Burma - but with him we are slowly moving forward as a club. What I do question is his professional ability to decisively manage. To make considered decisions when needed. Should he have sacked TC when he did? should he have appointed Hecky (or even TC) ? Should he have sacked Hecky earlier? The next decision could well be the biggest of his life and define his tenure at Leeds but I am afraid that unless he changes (just one change actually) the club structure the "right" decision may well be out of reach.
01 Jun 2018 17:41:11
I don't mind any of the names being banded about except Bruce. I hope the management understand the history. Scholes, Giggs, Bruce all not for Leeds and anyone else from their background. Getting Bruce will end in tears and show the management is clueless.
01 Jun 2018 17:50:41
Don't agree. Obviously hate the Devon side and don't particularly want Bruce. But he would be a massive improvement on what's gone before imo
01 Jun 2018 18:09:41
Agree speedy as for Hesslian do you include Giles and Strachan among those you named inspired signings them two
01 Jun 2018 18:42:56
Wouldn't want to go anywhere - up or down with Bruce. Don't like his history or style of play. The Argentinian - yes, Laudrup - yes; Ranieri - Yes - dependent on who his assistant was. Not Bruce; not Stam.
01 Jun 2018 22:00:53
Stuff the kind of play. get into the Premiership! WAKE UP!
02 Jun 2018 00:09:16
As Metissekit says I would give anything to get back to the Premiership. My Dad is 90 and he has been going since the 40s and he just wants to see us get back up.
02 Jun 2018 09:21:21
Good man LUFCfev. Real are again the best in Europe and play awesome football. Man City getting there too. We don't have the luxury to care at this point and our low-rent players don't have what's needed to compete. Get into the premiership by hook or by crook and then build. Why do son many find this so hard to understand? It's a hard nosed business and the best get awesome salaries and benefits. No time for slackers or making excuses for CRAP managers!
01 Jun 2018 15:55:22
Did we tell him a, before he went on holiday B, when he landed at the airport and was waiting for a taxi to the ground or C, by text whilst he was sunbathing! Wow, let's hope third time lucky! I imagine not a bad payout for a few months work! Like the idea of a mad genius but do we really have the management set up to cope with that. Oh well livens up the summer!
01 Jun 2018 16:58:25
So, it looks like El Loco, the Tinkerman, Laudrup, MicMac, Brucie, maybe even Grayson? All the money seems to be going on El Loco atm, where's our resident tipster, LiG, to help us?
01 Jun 2018 17:15:09
Apparently Orta flew out to where he is on holiday to tell him. Just needs somebody to fly out and give Orta the same news.
01 Jun 2018 18:22:26
Just need to sack Orta (know it won't happen! ) And some of the donkeys that masqueraded as football players and we should be able to move on.
01 Jun 2018 15:15:50
Anyone else think this was a badge decision? We all agree Heck was not of the standard required to get Leeds promoted and probably not of the standard for the size of the club. That being said I wish him well, he worked hard but that can never cover up for a lack of skill/talent. It’s just the timing? Why let him take the tour? That was always supposed to be learning about the players for next year? 1) Either Martyn’s email to Radz finally got through. 2) Radz didn’t like all the negative comments messages he was receiving on Twitter? 3) The right man of the right calibration has become available and has intimated he will take the job? Obviously hope it’s the latter
01 Jun 2018 16:11:20
Think you answered your question in the opening couple of sentences.
01 Jun 2018 16:44:21
Heckingbottom was clueless and out of his depth. I have no sympathy. TC In his time started well went on a bad run stopped the rot for a few games and went down from there. Heck had no answer and he wasn't going to improve. We all knew he was on borrowed time better gone now than 10 games into next season. I just hope radz is a fast learner
01 Jun 2018 17:02:43
Heck would probably been better in the job in another 5 - 6 years, as it is he was simply out of his depth and the players didn't help him either. I say good luck to him, there's a job at Shrewsbury going if he's quick :)
01 Jun 2018 17:17:05
I agree We, pointless prolonging the agony. Now let the new man whoever it my be choose his own players to sign.
01 Jun 2018 22:02:49
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
01 Jun 2018 13:14:22
Bielsa untested in English football. Does he know players capable of getting us up with the budget we have and all the dead wood. Could be a big risk.
{Ed001's Note - if you get Bielsa you are luckier than you realise! He is completely mad but a genius. A mad genius who plays brilliant football. He is one of those managers that never lasts long because he is so volatile, but he takes you on an exciting rollercoaster ride of attacking football. The likes of Pep and Klopp count him as one of their big influences in management.}
01 Jun 2018 13:36:13
Totally agree Ed, and the calibre of player who would want to come and work with would be different class, IF Radz and co back him wisely.
01 Jun 2018 14:52:19
Creek. Are you having a laugh? After what we have gone through over the last decade I'd kill to get the likes of Biesa or Ranieri. No guarantee of success with anyone of course
01 Jun 2018 15:31:44
The blokes not got the job yet and he's being run-down, and you wonder why nobody wants the job?
01 Jun 2018 15:52:45
Before you all get excited the blokes a 62 old timer and ain't won owt since 2004 and left Lazio after 2 days I believe.
01 Jun 2018 16:21:44
In honesty I feel a bit for PH as he inherited a losing squad with problems of injury and suspensions . As a positive he did replace Gk and gave some of the u23's an opportunity to show whether they can cut the mustard . All are loans were poor and a good per cent of players brought in are not good enough . The value of spending a little bit more for a player who has played at this level was displayed by Forshaw . Less players, more quality .
01 Jun 2018 17:23:27
Totally agree dogwise!
01 Jun 2018 18:03:29
I have posted my thoughts but all that and more, Dogwise, is so sadly, true.
01 Jun 2018 13:01:01
Anybody else a bit sad to see the back of the set piece coach? Got used to the excitement of wondering what was coming from a free kick when we'd line up with 10 stood over the ball and one doing backflips in front of the goal keeper.
01 Jun 2018 15:21:01
Yeah, but after that one away at Burton there didn't seem to be much else.
01 Jun 2018 16:03:54
Another one who in my opinion was pinching money.
01 Jun 2018 20:03:24
OLeary4king, not sad at all, should never been given it in the first place, and who is to blame RADZ, sacking managers to save his own boat,
01 Jun 2018 12:35:19
Well well well could the Marcelo Bielsa story be true ? . rock bottom getting sacked as lifted a huge weight off my shoulders . hope he finds work with another club certainly don't wish anything bad for him but he shouldn't of been the manger of Leeds United . he is probably a reasonable league 1 level coach
01 Jun 2018 12:33:58
Please NOT Paul Tidsdale. ! ? Can only be Bielsa or Claudio, no one else would give the credibility back to the club that has been lost sacking our 1,365th manager in 5 years!
01 Jun 2018 12:14:26
Reports on sky and bbc saying heck has now been sacked. Feel for him but to be fair the firm since he took over and football played has been poor to say the least. Onward n upward
01 Jun 2018 12:28:23
We need better than Hecky to get out of this division
01 Jun 2018 15:25:41
I don't blame Heck for taking the job albeit a job he never should have been offered some of the decisions made by Radz and co beggar belief the millions wasted on so called players the huge contracts offered to players who well struggle to move on the Myanmar fiasco, the naff badge, now having to pay Heck off on top of the half million he cost to get him if Radz had learned anything Orta should have gone with Heck don't care who the manager is if Ortas still involved don't think well get the calibre of manager we need wouldn't suprise me if its none of the managers being bandied about though I live in hope
01 Jun 2018 12:08:24
Rumours circulating Heck has been sacked
01 Jun 2018 12:07:46
Well something decisive at last! Heckingbottom and his Staff gone. It's crucial now that the club get the right man. Over to you Radz! I am I asking to much for Orta to be shown the door as well?
01 Jun 2018 15:34:57
Was the goalkeeping coach (who had never played football) part of his staff? If he's gone . get Sully back ! !
01 Jun 2018 11:55:36
Looks like they sacked PH. Should've just given TC to the end of the season. Utter farce! Next guy needs to be backed and given time to give us essential stability.
01 Jun 2018 12:24:03
Helland Road is like an Asylum run by lunatics another joke summer like you say TC should have left to see season out then looked at it.
01 Jun 2018 11:55:33
Well he's gone. I'm devastated. Oh wait. I'm over it now. Yippppeeeeeeee
01 Jun 2018 12:09:35
Martyn oven just pinged
01 Jun 2018 06:34:00
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 1st June 2018
31 May 2018 23:59:45
As each day quietly passes. No news. Déjà vu Same Leeds in transfer window Players not wanting to play for Leeds but prefer hanging around to see if better offer comes up. We know how much we have to spend. Please god I hope we know who we want to buy by now. Buy them or make an offer and give them 7 days to decide.
