Harrison to Rangers, now that rumour I like and hope is true. Always good to have a buddy to take your trash out for you.
1.) 27 Jun 2025 16:17:59
Vid ?????.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 18:54:56
Vid, Is there anyone in Rangers current squad that we might be looking at as a swap deal?
A bit of 49er's internal business?!
3.) 28 Jun 2025 05:30:58
Raskin. Can't see this though as Rangers unlikely to cover Harrison's £90k per week wages.
4.) 28 Jun 2025 12:59:59
Cheers Alf,
Certainly is a problem.
One that Jack would probably fall over and try and claim he'd been pole axed!
MOT.

49ers cross subsidising his wages alf?

Being reprted on news now that Hockaday and Lewis have been sacked
05 Jun 2014 19:00:08
Well, if all the reports on NN are to be believed its a 3 horse race on saturday, an I don't mean the Derby. Personally I think Gary Mac would make a great coach, managing was too great a task for him I think, but that's just me ;)
1.) 05 Jun 2014 19:45:09
I think out the 3 rumoured names (Hughton, Hockaday and McAllister) I would go with McAllister although I also think Paul Hart would be a good shout.
2.) Do people really rate gary mac? do I miss something? brought some great players to the club as scout but tactics were off, results were poor and motivation was none exsistant. what am I missing? all I remember is poor league results and our darkest moment with the club losing in first round of fa cup to non league opposition. scout yes anything else no thanks 100's of better coaches out there
3.) Wouldn't want any of the 4 mentioned above. My choice would be a proven young manager ready to step up to a bigger club. Step forward Eddie Howe.
4.) Agree totally
{Ed003's Note - this was in reply to Bermondsey btw.}
5.) We played sexy football under him according to many FL pundits. i'd love to have him back. We were without Beckford that dark dark day remember. He'd scored about 5 that day
6.) All the names mentioned don't seem good enough to me. Gary Mac no, hockaday definitely not, the Eddie Howe shout would be good though. But prob not going to be one of the 3 being seen. If I had to choose of the 3 though it would be Chris houghton! Roll on sat!
7.) 05 Jun 2014 21:00:40
Howe is a manager not a coach and the only place he is proven is at Bournemouth. He didn't set the world light at Burnley.
{Ed003's Note - He was shocking there but to be fair that team that went up was mainly his signings.}
8.) Eddie Howe or Chris Hughton
9.) 05 Jun 2014 21:19:47
So the fact that virtually same squad that Howe had got promoted should tell you everything you need to know about Howes coaching ability!
10.) Didnt realise Macca was a scout for Leeds? Just thought he was a good coach who needed a top defensive coach alonside him to get us up. And how can people say he can't motivate players is beyond me. what are they in the dressing room as well! MOT.
11.) Corkwhite, I was not in the dressing room but I did see what happened on the pitch which was in my opinion, lack of passion lack of disire, lack of skill and lack of basic ideas (how many times did we conceed the same goal under Gary Mac? every time ball was in the air in our box we conceded which would suggest bad coach as well?) loved him as a player and seems a nice bloke but coach? manager? not for me think I could name 100 people I would rather get the job
12.) OK Bermondsey I hear what you saying. Bad goals conceded from coners etc were very poor under Macca for a time but I also remember under Wilko a similar situation when the opposition got a corner a goal was on its way in one particular season. Also think about it. under Bates he literally had no cash to spend. Think Huntingdon as number 1 CB! . It just amazes me some folk seem convinced others are well suited for the job with little or no reason! Howe. done very liitle. Clarke. even less. Hughton or Mackay I could take. But give me an ex Leeds player who knows his stuff. and I believe Macca does. I will take him all day him long. Gary Mc is in the running I believe and is probably the best man for the job as the BOSS wants a British coach and he is, I believe, a good coach. MOT.
13.) To be fair, with Cellino in charge, all 3 will be coach at some point in the season
14.) You make a good point about wilko Corky. I rated wilko as one of the best in the world at that time but I do remember that season (Sadly). I also agree some are bounding about managers with little to back it up. If I was MC (id be very happy) but I would go for Kenny Jacket or Malky Macky. Both know the league both good with money and good coaches and get the best out of the squad. But then I am not a bonkers Itailan who wants to be in charge of signings, which raises the point if his signings do badly will he sack himself as I am sure he didn't sack many managers in Italy so it is not like he passes the blame is it?

Blimey, seems Wet Spam supporters are in melt down over their lack of investment, especially considering they just sold Kudus to Spuds. Sounds like none of the £100 million from selling Rice has been reinvested either. A club in turmoil methinks.
10 Jul 2025 07:52:27
Oooops forgot to mention Amps, AO and Gruev too, how could I, sorry!
10 Jul 2025 07:48:20
A sunny Thursday to all you peeps. Well seems there is some angst in the old transfer debate and especially regarding Sunderland, so for a bit of perspective, all that matters is our own agenda. Now if Sunderland want to have a premature orgasm at the orgy of spending, then that is up to them. They have spent £91.5 million on 4 players, 3 midfield and a winger, great, but it leaves them little room for manoeuvre now. We on the other hand have recruited defensively first which I believe is very shrewd, gives time for the foundation to gel and build a solid base. Don't forget they are additions to the likes of Rodon, Bogle, Struik, DJ, Rama, Willy, Piroe. How often have you bought something then a month later seen a far better deal but the dosh has gone, we still have the means to seriously compete. Have faith in our recruitment team bruvvers an sisters, it's going to be a scream. UTWDTP, but wear your hat in the beer garden, it's going to be hot ??.
1.) 10 Jul 2025 07:58:30
No pre planning by the men that matter vid?
You think there strategy is let’s see whose available at the end of the window? Solid.
Agree that so far been ok without anything to dance about. The defense needed padding out.
2.) 10 Jul 2025 08:13:42
Well said Brother Vid, 100% agree. I'm expecting to have at least 2 attacking players in now and a GK. I'm keeping the faith.
3.) 10 Jul 2025 08:47:07
Well Aus, fing is right, fing is we are at the Start of the window, lots of time to go. I am sure we have a plan and will stick to it. Most players moving at the mo are from the continent, English clubs playing their cards very close. Don't forget if you have a 25 man squad at least 8 have to be home grown. I am sure once movement starts here there will be a chain reaction of transfers, but all clubs have their own agendas and no one is going to help us.
4.) 10 Jul 2025 08:55:59
Good post Vid.
5.) 10 Jul 2025 10:08:29
Ah Vidster! A voice of reason in the kafuffle of chaotic worry!
6.) 10 Jul 2025 14:22:00
We al know it’s the start of the window but our problem is Leeds have always put eggs into 1 basket we are definitely going for muniz, he s our number 1 yet Leeds will not be doing 50 million pound deals so then move for kristovic, he does nt want Leeds atall then we move on and on like we wanted longstaff, stach well longstaff is way overpriced and stach we have nt even put bid in for and it’s been like that for last couple of seasons, I know we don’t want to mention the Mackems but they be been doing they re business and pretty sharp it does nt matter who thinks they be overpaid because only time will tell but Leeds business should be getting done just as quick and for the people who say we’ll look at Liverpool and Florian Wirtz, but guys they paid 200 million plus for him Leeds have nt got 200 million to spend on the whole team not only 1 player.
03 Jul 2025 17:45:17
Happy Thursday siblings, well, what a puzzle the transfer window is proving, I can hear the howls of derision comin from Baz's man cave. Faith an patience people, I can feel something Big in the pipeline, though that may be due to the copious amount of food I have eaten at todays bbq! UTWDTP to glory ???.
1.) 03 Jul 2025 18:23:16
Something big is coming vid. And not just your Guinness pancake.
9th/ 10th July, is my guess for a big striker.
2.) 03 Jul 2025 19:24:57
Big indeed. Maybe a 6ft 8" goalkeeper is on his way!
3.) 04 Jul 2025 10:59:32
Old vid loves his little digs at us realists. He reminds me of the bastro. So repetitive. Keep the good work up Chappy ?.
21 Jun 2025 06:32:00
Maybe we should get the Supercomputer to predict our transfers, in which case we will know that we are getting Shearer up front and Southall in goal as well as getting 21.397 points.
1.) 21 Jun 2025 09:50:26
Is your supercomputer Championship Manager 96?
05 Jul 2025 23:19:36
I get what you are saying MOT, but as you say, according to rumours. I would suggest as DF won us the title and promotion his methods worked. Add to that the team spirit is amazing, there seems to be a real unity which also you would have to credit DF and his team for. Rama I would suggest was benched mostly because of Manors performances, as wad Willy because he was up against DJ. Firepower got game time because of his offensive abilities so any problem with DF was put aside it seems for the better of the team. Given all of this I would suggest players would have no problem coming to Leeds because of supposed rumour about DF, there are plenty of players who seem to live him, agent Guillavogie for one and despite being benched Rama was like a cat on a hot tin roof when we were promoted, no negative vibes there.
01 Jul 2025 07:35:20
NEVER buy in January IMO, if needs be loan.
10 Jun 2025 18:34:27
Very encouraging Alf! If we could pull off that signing with Bijol to start with it would be amazing!
10 Jun 2025 08:19:14
This would be a great statement signing, let's hope. Do you know how much we are able to spend under PSR Alf? Without knowing what's coming in from sales of course.
09 Jun 2025 16:46:02
Personally would prefer Sargent.
10 Jul 2025 08:47:07
Well Aus, fing is right, fing is we are at the Start of the window, lots of time to go. I am sure we have a plan and will stick to it.

09 Jul 2025 22:09:44
Well Corkey, I understand the frustration, but we just don't know who our top targets are, apart from knowing Bijol was. Now say we pay over the odds for players we would like and end up without the funds to compete for our top targets later then that would be remiss. I base my faith on what has happened since last year when the recruitment was Bob on. We also need to consider wage structure, what did Sidiki and Diarra demand? Just because they have a fat fee doesn't mean they would be game winners, time will tell as I said. JohnH, I am with you, I would walk away from Longstaff now and I have a feeling you may be surprised by the Stach outcome. But of course lads, that is just my personal opinion.
09 Jul 2025 20:56:06
Thing is guys it's not as easy as just going shopping, it has to be the right player at the right price, you can't set a precedent of being a club that will pay whatever is asked. Its complicated. We missed out on Diarra and Sidiki yes, but were we that interested at that price. You can't say we have missed out on Longstaff when Newcastle are playing hard ball, is he worth much more? I dunno, but we have to spread our money wisely. Time will tell but I have every faith in our club to be ready come August.
09 Jul 2025 18:04:45
Damn, words out how good we are ?.
09 Jul 2025 08:00:16
Think BamBam could be a useful asset for us Aus, we are going to need bit part players with his experience and abilities. The recruitment so far, as it was last summer, has been excellent I think and done early doors. Lots to like so far UTWdTP.
