For me Radz looks the better custodian of LUFC for a long time. He's bought back the ground which others only talked of and he shows signs of understanding who is customers are (e. g. admitted the error in appointing TC and feedback over the crest) . IF he doesn't have the resources to get LUFC back into the Premiership then i think he would recognise that and could be trusted to sell to an appropriate new owner. The reality is this takes huge money and anyone is deluded if they think they can do this on the cheap. If enough money was there then the better players would join us.

Think he bought the ground and is having the training ground built to boost his investment. I think he'll sell up at a profit before his 5yr plan is up. Orta will be sunning it up on a beach somewhere living on bung money.

Since Terry Vegetables became manager not quite 16 years ago, including Vegetables we've had 20 different managers (including caretakers) over 23 appointments. It means even if Hecky keeps the role for 5 years (lol extremely doubtful) we will still have averaged a manager a year for over 2 decades. To be honest, I think we're doing brilliantly just to exist, with assets, playing in the Championship with stats like that. Let's start some rounds of posts appreciating the supreme ownership agility of Bates, GFH, Massimo and now Radz.

03 Mar 2018 20:44:26
A boring Saturday afternoon, George? Seriously tho, that is the kind of statistical data that says everything. Without stability, in ownership first, then management, then playing staff, it's almost impossible to progress, and the never ending baying for heads from fans only makes the situation worse. We are in the right proverbial poo hole right now, people need to realise that it's going to take time, and stability within all of the above to get back. Ridsdale tried the poo or bust approach, and that's why we are still here!

I too have had my say earlier and there can be no excuses for such a terrible display as Friday night. That being said I do believe PH cannot be judged over a month, Birmingham sacked Cotterill this evening rumours of Mr Monk taking over their fifth manager in little over 16months. I believe not starting Forshaw was PH first genuine mistake I appreciate his hands are tied with the goalkeeper situation but can you imagine if he had started BPF and it all gone wrong? I appreciate it couldn’t have been worse but once I’ve fully calmed down I’m supporting PH because change for change sake is no gaurantee whatsoever.

03 Mar 2018 20:13:03
Let's not blame heck. Let's go to the root of the problem Radz. No use saying he's better than Bates. He's worse than the great man Massimo and there were enough calling for his head. As a club we might be financially stable for now under Radz. But as a football team we are going from bad to worse. Blaming Orta and TC and now heck but their all down to Radz

Agree3 Disagree6

03 Mar 2018 20:28:20
Not starting Forshaw was a mistake. Starting or even playing OK and was unimaginable. What was he thinking? I hold PH in high regard but I just can't figure this one out.

Wex? How the hell is he worse than Massimo? That's the one who was banned from actually running our club for most of his tenure! I loved the mad cap Italian for what he did for us, but that statement is just wrong! Radz has bought the stadium back, invested for the future, and whilst not delivering this season, he will I believe deliver on his promise to bring in experienced British players next year.

03 Mar 2018 21:12:08

04 Mar 2018 11:53:06
Of course Martyn. But what it does do for us fans is make the club a viable proposition going forward, and all the more unlikely to face the whiteman apocalyptic scenarios we've faced under Ridsdale and Bates. Our club is not threatened by liquidation anymore, which is surely the first step away from the crap we have had to put up with for far too long?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 18:46:18
Let's face it. If we somehow miraculously were able to be promoted this season then, with this current team we would be straight down the next. No amount of one off spending, especially under the direction of Orta, would give us the talent, experience, structure, belief and depth required. I really don't want to buy into AR's 5 year plan. I have too many years under my belt to want to spend a whole lot more watching Championship football. But we need at least one more. The only reason for aiming for aiming at the top 6 is to have a shot at going up. AR/PH should abandon all pretense of this and use the rest of the season to set up for next year. Try a new formation. Try a new captain. Try new players - at least give BPF a run so h3 can gain some experience when it can't cause too much harm. And, for Peters sake, try a new structure where Orta is nothing more than a glorified scout providing recommendations only for PH to consider.

he can be worse because if we play him and he crubles that can ruin him for the future espically with leeds fans getting on his back with ironic cheers like felix it could ruin him. I wouldn't want to play in goal for us with our so called fans doing that

03 Mar 2018 20:52:29
He did not want to be at York and if he is not involved in first team will be off in summer along with Wilks and Coyle. These lads have proved themselves so can't play U23s forever. And none of them want to be some where else when they see how the team is playiing. If they can't get in this team no point them staying.

Agree2 Disagree1

03 Mar 2018 20:55:47
Mental strength is just as important as ability. That might take this lad more time to develop. Why destroy him? I'm sure that is something that the coaching team are aware of, and consider.

04 Mar 2018 11:10:09
Not exactly. He was involved in our first team then suddenly shipped off to York, he did not ask to go he fancied his chances against Felix. What i am saying its hard to perform at your best when you have just been kicked in the teeth. Mentaly he was not with the programme in my opinion. He is a lot better than his York form.

Perhaps I'm alone in not knowing what position some players are supposed to be best suited for. Roofe-has scored goals when playing as striker but often used as a winger. Cibicki-can certainly pass the ball better than most, mid or striker? Hernandez- winger or no.10? Phillips, OKane, Forshaw, Viera-Defensive or attacking midfielder? Anita- I thought he was a midfield player! Dallas- right or left? Janson-right or left CH? Alioski right or left? Felix-goalkeeper or something else?

Half our team play out of position, have been doing for ages. that's why some judgement of their performances i think are a bit harsh. Saying that the fighting spirit is missing. Saying that if i was set on for a job then put in another department i was crap at and had all the staff telling me how crap i was everyday i guess i would lose heart as well.

What went wrong last night. Outside our control: Traore red card rescinded. Shirt pulling against Leeds players is fair game. Within our control: giving ball away, allowing opposition to dominate attack and conceding too many corners when you have suspect goalkeeper. Having a shot on target. Roll on Wednesday, Wolves might be complacent and shock on the cards.

If Felix conceded the most goals in the Bundesliga last season . What assessment did Orta carry out to allow him to recommend Felix to Rads. Was he a good keeper who has become pony since he came to us or has he always been this bad. The same with De Bock and his last performance. Are these players good in the own leagues and they cannot adapt to the higher standard in the championship or has Orta just brought in a whole load of below par players. Rads needs to make a decision quickly and avoid wasting anymore money on Orta's reccomendations.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

03 Mar 2018 16:29:31
Yep you've got to question everything about Orta like you say Felix conceded most goals in the German league and De Bock not in Bruge first team so why are they good enough for us🤔 regardless of who's coach this guy could get us in a relegation battle next season the fans can have a big say starting on Wednesday night Orta Out.

The only way a Director of Football can work is if he is really Chief Scout and reports to The Manager. The Manager must draw a verbal picture of exactly the type he wants with a few names thrown in. Tho ONLY job of the DoF is to go and get him. He must not come back until he either gets A or says (for whatever reason) A is not possible but how about B, C, D OR E. Any other balance of power will not work. It is also important that the Manager picks his chief scout, so both have the same profiles and both think the same. The setup at Leeds patently does not and cannot work. The sooner AR sees that, the better. Recent history has shown that Orta wields too much power and no matter what he says it appears that he just goes out, gets bodies and dumps them in the managers lap with a virtual - get on with it. Safe in the knowledge that failure means someone else's head rolling.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - usually a DoF is actually not a scout when it works. The whole point is they set a style of play, then they ensure that the style of play is utilised throughout the club, including by the head coach. They also act as an overview on recruitment, taking a longer term view than simply buying to suit one head coach. They are meant to ensure that the players brought in suit the style of play the club wants to play. You would usually have a chief scout reporting to them.}

03 Mar 2018 14:16:58
A well measured and well articulated post Leodis, I concur. Ed I agree with you also, but in reality Leeds are not (yet) choosing "Head Coaches" who suit the style of play intended by the Dog. There is no correlation whatsoever and until there is, we're fuk'd. Personally I think that we have a management structure that may be suitable when we are in the quarter finals of the Champions League, but not whilst we are playing the likes if Burton. We are effectively designed to self defeat.

03 Mar 2018 22:09:27
Thanks Ed you are right (again) technically. My beef was that the system is flawed. You must hire a manager that wants to play your style of football Therefore if he hires a Chief Scout with the same ethos then they will of course only hire players who play your way. It does not matter if you then change Managers. Surely you will only hire another Manager with the same ethos. I suppose I am saying that the player search is not required of a DoF and that he should take a back seat on recruitment as an Admiral on a Flagship takes an overview but the day to day power is the Captain. The members of the Federation often flew with Kirk but not many tried to mess with him.

15k a week players will not get you top 6. The greatest manager in the world would struggle with some of the players in our squad. We have failed to recruit the players who are good enough. Loads of our players are too light weight for this league. Take Alioski for example, he can nice football, but in poor weather against a big strong team he cannot contribute anything . Boro had a much more physically stronger team, with some flair and a good finisher . We are not able to out battle any team

It was a poor team performance against Borough, but once again it's blatant our goal keeper is worse than 'shocking' 'clueless' 'terrible'; I can't find the word or words which are polite. HE HAS to be dropped and moved on ASAP! I don't agree with singling out players but he's exception to the rule. Okane and roofe are the best but like all players it's about confidence and we fans do make a difference. It's going to take time and patience getting to PL anytime soon. MOT

I've lived in hope that the keeper would improve and adapt to the championship despite conceding the most goals in the bundesliga last season. Last night I watched the game with my family who are Bolton fans and up to now have responded to my moans by saying he can't be that bad if he's played for etc etc. Last night they were laughing at his performance. That's enough for me and he needs to go. I can't watch anymore and can't begin to imagine what it's like playing in front of him. Even at pub level footy it gets to you when your keeper is crap.

Ever the optimist me has even given up. That was the final curtain on our season last night. Sack Orta, give ph full control of the signings in the summer and see what he can do. Saiz, Jansson and maybe Ayling may be sold I fear. So it may have to be yet another transitional period. At least we’ll have £15-25m+ in the bag to reinvest. Won’t get us many quality players but if we can do a Leicester and have excellent team spirit and confidence then anything can happen.

Looking at that game last night tells me the club is in a mess from the way we allow Orta to recruit to what looks like another clueless coach to very poor standard of players, in the summer Radrizanni took his time to find a manager then publicly apologises for hiring him, we then go straight in after sacking TC and go get Heckingbottom I bet he can't believe his luck managing Leeds Orta found out straight away he was a lapdog to save guard his own job with his pal Radrizanni plus Heckingbottom was another cheap option poor players on long term contracts unbelievable it really is, what's Radrizanni going to do at the end of the season if we don't win anymore games apologise again for rushing in getting Heckingbottom and defends Orta once more, they'll be no more 20,000 S/T sold next season I'm pretty sure on that once again it's a bit like Bates wanting your money and commitment early, the club listened to the fans over the badge embarrassment will Radrizanni listen over Orta? 🤔 message to kop and South Stand on Wednesday ORTA OUT ORTA OUT, Rant Over for now.

one bad game. come on get with it yes we were poor but to attack the manager? sorry but get real it's not managers team, he has not had chance to coach as been here 5 minutes. Plus our training was disrputed by snow. Beaten by a very good team and two goals were offside (I know the second one was legit but that rule needs changing) . Heck is a good manager, his record shows that as a very poor team, give the fella a chance and be sensisble yes yesterday was very bad but it was one bad game, a bad day at the office we get over it and move on. I think the keeper is poor but the fans are not helping, I play in goal to low standard (I would say better than rahukpa but worse than Green) and confidence is such a huge thing, I don't understand why our fans are givng the other team an advantage by getting on keepers back, also if getting on his back then phillips should be sluathged he was our worse player last night not felix (both poor though) come on let's be positive and put things into perspective MOT

03 Mar 2018 09:57:13
How come we can't blame the manager. Who picked O, Kane Anita Cooper and Felix, who have all proved how dodgy they are. We had no defence. I am sure Hecky can see it and hopefully he starts to make some changes and find a set up that will work for us next season. We have players who will perform better than that so let's use them. The players who are trying are just getting frustrated and i can see us in freefall soon if the confidence is not boosted. All this talk of buliding for the future by buying rejects from Juventus and Barcelona is crap if you don't have a decent first team.

Agree7 Disagree1

03 Mar 2018 10:18:23
Like I said it's not his team and it wasn't TC's team either and it's not just one bad game either even when we won four on Trot we were poor and lucky, Phillips needs moving on with O'kane there poor there's no excuse for defending them or the keeper mistake after mistake that's all it is every summer is a rebuilding job and it will continue to be like that until there's real commitment financially without Orta I'm from a different generation to you with 15 years of crap we shouldn't be running on the pitch celebrating a promotion from league 1 but that and the victory at Cold Trafford is our highlight in that time, Radrizanni as never owned a football club and he might get right but if he doesn't and it continues with the same policies it's going to be a recurring roundabout.

few things firstly with picking felix so would I he is crap but best we got, lonner is worse and the young kid well a kid and not even one who is rated that highly. it is one bad game since heck took over we have played so much better and improved. TC was a different kettle of fish as he made so many poor mistakes and we lost to some poor teams last night we got beat by a good team who played very well, that's all it was. With TC we got beat by some very bad teams who just turned up. Give heck some time and a chance, things are improving just last night was poor. I just think we need to get some perepsctive and be rational. and shoot phillips

Well I wanted pullis before he went to bora but was shot down by everyone saying his styles boring! Well his style blew us off the pitch last night pal. This jobs too big for hecky it's going to chew him up and spit him out

PH may not be the answer but I am prepared to give him more than 5 games against teams in the top half of the league. The squad is simply not good enough and the Pulis of this world would not get any better tune from them. Also Pulis would not operate under the current regime we have as he wants to manage from top to bottom. And yes Martyn last night's performance was poor.

still improving and moved forward a lot since bates left. rome wasn't built in a day and progress is still progress even if moving slower than we hoped

this is true last year we had a great sqaud and should of gone up. sadly that was a chance missed and might take a while for us to get back to that, but overall leeds are going in the right direction. first time in years we have had a good manager, sqaud with potential and a chairman who won't sell every assest. we have had one or maybe two of them things in last 20 years but never all three so have some faith

Great squad last year, must have missed something. What potential is in the squad, will coops get better, will felix improve? Who sold Wood was it Cellino. Manager, good maybe we will see. Reality is a terrible thing.

03 Mar 2018 09:39:23
can't pick on lassoga last night he had nothing to feed on, we could of had harry kane playing last night would not of made a difference if we are giving them nothing. From what I have seen I'm still a bit loggasga fan

Agree1 Disagree1

03 Mar 2018 11:33:19
Not bashing Lassoga, always said that he needs a partner to be effective. Lassoga is a finisher but needs someone to run the channels.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 12:16:50
Lassoga gets pushed around has no presence. Granted when he has no one within touching distance he can score. But overall to lightweight for the price he costs maybe if he was on 10 grand a week he'd be value but he's not

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 12:41:25
Lassoga definitely nothing special. I'd take Billy Sharp over him all day long

Agree0 Disagree1

03 Mar 2018 12:46:59
He had ekuban to run his channels last night but he's useless. He couldn't score in a brothel

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 13:16:36
So you are bashing Lassoga now Martyn

Terrible performance, think he made huge mistake with O'kane/Phillips, they were overrun and this puts so much pressure on a dodgy back line. Lassoga can't hold up a ball and then traore just waltzed thru as if no one there. Dallas and alioski ineffective and even saiz bad tonight. He trying to do it all himself, guess he has no confidence in his team, also his vollitile attitude not good. Anita runs like he s. t his pants and that excuse for a GK, give BPF a run for rest of season. Orta has to go, 2 good signings in saiz and Forshaw but the rest not for me. I still feel Ekuban needs a goal or 2, liked his run over top into box but no connection with shot, maybe lack of time? Rads needs to wake up now or sell and move on, give Amanda stavley a call, she can't buy the Toon but might be interested in lufc, has great passionate fans and needs to be in prem. Bring over Ideguchi and bring Lewie Coyle back and try some of ' one for the future players ', give young LB a few games.

So, just this minute walked through the door, what a shambles. i thought ph may take us fwd, his team selection tonight was a disgrace, message to oh, when your best players are available pick them, we were lucky to go in 0-0 against Brentford last week, he chose to stick by that 11. big big mistake, o'kane is lge 1 at best, he can't run, Anita, same bracket, alioski (don't get me started) . keeper . Jesus! . so many poor players, did we have a shot? . are we making progress? . tile on Wednesday

Same squad Christianson went on a great run with. Oh dear have we made a mistake saying him

no mention of Phillips who was by a country mile our worse player on the pitch tonight?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2018 23:15:42
I think Ekubans critisizm is missplaced. I do not think out and out goalscoring is his job. If he goes on a scoring spree that is a bonus but I believe he is more suited to doing the dirty work for Lassoga. Running the channels. Chasing down balls over the top and picking up knock ons then feeding them to Lassoga to despatch. Somewhat like Jones and Clarke.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

03 Mar 2018 07:17:00
He's crap. never ever looks like scoring, let's be realistic

Agree1 Disagree2

03 Mar 2018 07:25:22
We are light years away from Jones and Clarke. More like Ricketts and Hunt.

03 Mar 2018 08:46:05
Starskey and Hutch
Hinge and Bracket
Bodie and Doyle Ant and Dec
I could go. on this is fun

George, the way they play it's more like Rickets and Gout!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 09:21:44
Leeeeeeds, not sure I would describe him as Crap but find it hard to see what he offers other than a bit of pace. Only we seem to like buying forwards who can't score. If he is just to do the dirty work for the main striker, win the ball set up the striker etc then opposition mark him out the game and our striker gets no service. How about signing a forward who scores

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2018 09:42:09
George take that back Michael Ricketts sorry Sir Michael Rickets was an england international (i think) and a god. He is in my mind the greatest striker to ever grace the white badge of yorkshire

Could have been 4 or 5. Is it time for Hecky to go s**t or bust in some of the next few games. He can't bring in new blood until the summer so why not try something different in some games between now and May. Unfortunately the U23s are not blazing away so any move up to first team will be a massive gamble but what have we to lose. Some of them tonight showed that they don't have the heart or the quality (or both) just blood the odd U23 what have you to lose, just get to safety points and give it a go.
