Only a matter of time, days or weeks I'd have thought.
I'd be happy with Potter when he gets the sack.
We really need somebody that can sort the defence out. I think the players need a proper manager right now not an inspirational speaker impersonator.
Would you sack him today. I would.
I'm with you Danish but apparently 65% of Leeds fans in a Facebook poll want Glenn Hoddle in....
We just might have a very good manager on our hands. Of course only few games in, and biased after yesterday’s performance, but…
- we are actually winning games
- our game-plan (or line-up) is not predictable
- our playing is not chaotic, but more controlled than what we’ve seen for a long time
- our wingers are more direct and creating danger
- Firpo, Roca and others suddenly look more than decent
- the players generally seem to have faith in him
- his appearance is that of a manager’s
So far, it’s thumbs up!
all sorted
Work permit issues being resolved soon I hear.
Latest images of Javi and his team arriving today.....
The more I know about Sergio Garcia the better he sounds.... I was underwhelmed initially.
He took over Watfordscum just above the relegation zone and took them to 14th....
He lead them to an all time best finish the following season of 11th and took them to the FA Cup Final 👏
He got sacked the following season after one point from the first 4 games but this is little Watford.... and more importantly it was by the lunatic Pozzo owners who have sacked 16 managers in 12 years!
Watfordscum got relegated that season 🤣👏
He knew how to get a little club this far so that means he will take us into Europe next season.... I'm definitely behind him now 👍👏
Criteria is he must have managed for 36 months during the previous 5 season in a recognised European league for a work permit.
He has only done 33 months. 3 months shy? I bet the penpushers are rubbing thier hands as we have to pay £5k for a special hearing.
Given he has managed Watford in the Prem and got them to an FA Cup Final thinks he proves he adds value to the game. Still the beaurocrats will get a little financial bonus for the red tape
Expect it to be confirmed tomorrow
This is only a short term appointment. Could it be thatthe club has bought in a man who has experience in the English game but also is not afraid of demanding professionalism from his player. Think this is a very good short term appointment.
Doesn't really matter what we say about the current manager, all that is currently at stake is a must 3 points on Saturday, lose that, well.................... At least I have 2 shirts with the Premier League logo on, may be a collectors item in the future!
The more I hear about him the more I think he could be a good appointment. Time will tell, but if we do go down (quite likely) it will not be the fault of Gracia.
I'm with you BB and think Gracia did a very good job at small Watford keeping them from relegation and getting to an FA Cup final....
Being able to adapt to different styles of play is better than our other managers could comprehend....
I'm with you Smurf and this is a ridiculous appointment.... you're bang on it when we've gone from a much sought after world class manager in Bielsa to a failed Watford manager who will only last til the summer either way.
Feck me, we've gone from Biesla and Marsch to a new level of mediocrity, we made as well have appointed Redknapp. We've thrown all the long term planning in the bin in a panic fit. Think we all know Gracia will be gone by the end of June. Five managers in six years is ridiculous - one stupid sacking after another. And now our ambition is a failed Watford manager steeped in three lines of 4-4-feckin-2. Somebody is having a laugh.
In the lucky dip bran tub of managers we could have done worse...a lot worse.
Gracia is imo off the middle shelf but that counts for nothing if he can't immediately turn round, motivate and influence the squad.
Primarily showing them where the goal is and how to keep it out one end and lash it in at the other.
Can't see much of a personnel change for Saturdays line up, just a tweak to the formation.
MOT
Start of the Great escape not a countdown to relegation.

If people want to sway how the crowd reacts they should become a member of the said crowd and participate.
Any negative chanting from the crowd will be aimed at Orta, not by me,well not until we are down. We need to get behind the team.
Getting the first goal in the game v Southampton could well signal how the season will end. If we concede first and the crowd get a bit protesty it could get ugly.
I just hope we score first and get good 3-0 win with a couple of Bamford goals to get his confidence and desire up.
