Yes I was a touch disappointed by his comments. Gone down in my estimation.

I agree with SE for the sake of the team and not to give any more advantage to teams coming to Elland Road we should all stick together behind OUR team.

Everyone has a right to an opinion and can understand some people upset over pie tax but it is time to put team before personal issues with mad MC.

The only real result of a 17 min walk out and all that goes with it will be to effect the team in a neg way, it is bound to really, so I always support protest if you want but best way to hurt MC (and not the team) is to stay away or protest outside ground, do ya social media thing whatever but don't bring it into the ground as it will make a Hull win even more likely and we need all the help we can get.

Onto football matters, think time is right to give SB a go as should add more attacking flair from the back.

We will have to watch their mid-field/attacking full backs so in some ways SE needs to combat this with the right system (don't ask me what that is I ain't a coach) . I would start with Bridcutt/Botaka/Dallas/Cook/Mowatt and maybe just Wood upfront.

Bridcutt holds and with both Byram/Taylor able to advance + with 2 wingers that should give us ample forward power plus having bodies in midfield to protect back 4.

That will only work if the players have trained on it but after 2 lame performances in a 442 style and against one of the best away performing sides I don't want to get picked off which in a 442 with the team we had against QPR/rothers I fear we will be.

If they don't score we don't lose and you can always have a chance to nick it late on when they start to run out of ideas, can always change from bench early if need to with ant/Erwin.

I won't be walking out on 17 mins although I have left pretty early some games over the past few seasons. I've made a conscious decision to boycott the away games, but that is due to performances on the pitch and the fact I can't justify the money I spend every other week. I'm all for getting behind the team, but I won't defend them when they are so poor. It's like not reprimanding a naughty child. No matter how you dress the team up we are not playing well and 90% of the team don't look to be trying. It's a sad state at the moment and off the pitch antics do not help at all.

the understanding is (if not already announced) that Jimmy will be taking over the reigns at QPR. I for one think we, sorry MC has missed a trick here. He boasts a 60% win rate and has a connection to the club and fans. But this is probably the reson why Mc didn't recruit him.

I feel that he wants to remain the main man and will not let any coach near the club that would take the limelight away from him. And propbably the resons why he got rid of Redders and BMD

Hockaday - absolute no-body but "knows" the english game
Darko - No-body here, but has a little european experience
Rosler - A small somebody in the english game, and has managed in the league. No connection to the club.
Evans - knows a little more about the championship and has a little passion, little or no connection to the club.

Trial and error by the sounds of it, another 3 sackings and we may finally get Gary Mac back.

Hockady, Cellino would not have sourced him, must have been recommended by some idiot, he realised mistake and got rid, fans wish.
Darko, proven in his own country, Cellinos choice, given no chance by fans, sacked, fans wishes.
Rosler, decent record with other clubs, unlucky we have thick players, sacked, fans wishes.
Evans is temp. good record in this and lower league with what he had. In to steady ship, allready fans turning on him.
Readfern given the chance to step up then bites the hand that feeds him, No way they could work together after press interviews. Cellinos wish
Top managers are not going to come to this club to get shot down after half a season. Forget about top managers coming here because we expect instant results and top guys know that does not happen.

Cellino wants to do things as cheap as possible. JFH would have wanted at least a 2 year contract. As like everyone who goes near Cellino, he falls out with them and gets rid. Would just have been another manager who would have been given little money and if results did not happen would be sacked by Cellino. Another manager we would be paying out before getting yet another one. Cellino is the problem Big not the fans.

I was trying to make 2 points.

1. Cellino missed the chance to bring JFH in.

2. Cellinos choices are slowly ramping up to what is needed at the club. He would have saved a lot of grief, fan anguish, naff results and maybe cost if he had brought in the best person for the job from the outset. Someone who knows the league, maybe knows the club and can draw players to the squad.

Agree with that but don't think we can put all the blame on cellino, My point is if you have 5000 fans chanting for the manager to go it would influence his decision. No one can say milanic was not good enough, he was not here two mins. Bet defense would be better if he had stayed. Point is we have evans and its up to us to get behind him and give him the chance to do something.

Let's wait for JFH until he has a bit more experience and we have a more stable owner. No point getting in the right guy at the wrong time.

Agree2 Disagree0

Jfh not proven himself at all keep the faith with Evans he'll come good as for managers not getting any money how many players have come in under Massimo more in his time than the 10 years before that's a fact.

Sat in the bar tonight with a guy from Honduras
He told me he went to school in London in the 70's and supported L U and went to all our London away games.
Then he says
Whatever happened to Leeds United.
I sat back and thought hard for a minute and said only God knows.
He's right whatever happened to our once great club?
It's been destroyed by idiots and greedy owners and poor players and managers.
Surely one day this mess will come to an end.
