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.

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.

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?

Hold on to your pantyhose people there is a storm a comin, due to hit the Toon at 8.15 tonight ?.
1.) 07 Jan 2026 22:25:36
That was a full on squittery sh*t storm, that, Vid!
05 Jan 2026 09:13:13
Mornin peeps, was just casting over the betting markets and it's interesting to see that Citeh are being quoted at just 25/ 1 to be relegated, in perspective we are 8/ 1. So, do the bookies have some thread on the outcome of these everlasting charges? Has to be the longest running enquiry ever!
1.) 05 Jan 2026 10:25:22
Vid, think it’s safe to say if it was any club outside the top 6 ( especially us) it would have been done and dusted and a distant memory by now. To be honest it’s a joke, the top6 are so protected by the PSR rules and match officials and the governing bodies it’s corrupt as hell.
04 Jan 2026 15:18:22
Very happy wiv that peeps, great performance again. When you think since the beginning of December we have played Citeh, Chelsea, Liverpool twice, Man U and been away to Brentford and Sunderland who have top home records and come away with 11 points, it's fantastic.
We ain't challenging for the title or Europe, we are building a foundation and it's coming along nicely. Add to that we were without Rodon, Boges and Amps who are so important, I think all in all we are in a pretty good place UTWDTP.
1.) 04 Jan 2026 17:04:28
Couldn't agree more Vid.
And whilst we have been playing against the better teams in the league (and taking points from them) , West Ham are losing to the Wolves! Bodes well for the next few months.
2.) 04 Jan 2026 17:13:04
We might not be challenging for Europe, but we are the same points off 6th place, as we are ahead of relegation! ??.
3.) 04 Jan 2026 17:40:28
Mathematically correct Brighty, but there are nine teams between us and Chelski in 6th place, but only one between us and Wet Sham in 18th place.
04 Jan 2026 10:21:13
Mornin siblings, just off to meet an old mukka who alas crossed to the dark side many years ago, but he challenged me to watch the match with him in his local so here we go ? here is hoping mystic Aus was right with his all home wins having got his one away last night lol.
Enjoy, got a feeling we are going to be very happy bunnies later UTWDTP.
28 Dec 2025 16:08:26
Fantastic performance, fantastic 11 man goal, nothing else to say except well done boys, you are doing us proud and deserve every credit, especially considering the dark arts and the officials against us.
03 Dec 2025 15:05:59
Problem with Jan signings is they rarely work Alf, Gio being a good example. Thing is most decent players are not available, the ones that are, well, they are usually surplus for a reason. Would like the Russian striker tho, can't remember his name, but he suggested he would be open to a move in the winter.
03 Sep 2025 12:43:10
If that is correct LAD then that is an utterly ludicrous and playground attitude to take. Either back the guy or get someone you do trust because doing what they are is only going to impact the very soul of Leeds, its supporters the club and the city. Also if they think that by doing this they are going to engineer a situation whereby they can say told you so and justify sacking DF they are lower than a slugs nadger.
01 Sep 2025 14:38:59
If true they are taking an enormous gamble. We go down their investment and future plans will be in shreds. Would have been far less risky to just chuck a load of cash about and overspend.
31 Aug 2025 17:24:07
Buendia murmurings still abound, viable Alf?
24 Jul 2025 15:38:25
Absoflogginlutely Alf, never a doubt, it's going to be a ride an a half. Leeds 1000/ 1 for the title, just sayin, you know ???.
13 Jan 2026 16:57:46
Very true JR, no team has a devine right to anything. Alas the Prem covet and protect their precious Big 6 so it is not a level playing field. Strangely though when we were in the EFL and were one of their biggest assets they treated us with nothing but spite. Probably to prevent us leaving.
11 Jan 2026 18:53:30
RE Willy Dave, I have to say I love him. In fairness he has had his problems but got his head down, stayed loyal, is obviously totally committed to LUFC if you watch his reactions, application. Gets my vote every time and I think he could be immense for us, there is a very talented player in there.
11 Jan 2026 14:54:43
Plus I have to say, JH was appalling, really, what is the point, we can't play him and no one is going to want to buy him, he is stealing a wage.
11 Jan 2026 14:14:14
Well got to be happy with that I would say Dave, took a while for the fringe lads to get into their stride, adjustment to formation et Al, 8 changes and a result, job done, smashing ?.
10 Jan 2026 15:14:19
Well, Harry played and scored for the U21s today so that one is out the window!
