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....
all sorted
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!
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.
Sky shows him walking into ELLAND Road
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.
Well good luck to him, I don't think he will save us but I will be there supporting him. We left the inevitable sacking of Marsch far too late, Orts's stubborn/stupidity streak.
I'm proud that I was there at Forest shouting Marsch out, it was our only hope of staying up, I am surprised at how long it has taken us to get a new man in and at how underwhelming he is but he will get full support from me as he is now our last chance.
Javi Gracia:
If rumour is to be believed - offered a 4 month deal with a big survival bonus
Background info so we can all do our best to be positive..... 😉
Back 6 years ago he was reckoned to be one of the top 20 promising young managers (in a daily Express article), just before he got the Watford Job.
He kept Watford up in 2018
then took them to the FA Cup final in 2019 and an 11th place finish in the PL with 50 points - both club records in the PL era.
He fell foul of Watford's Pozzo revolving door soon after a bad start in the 2019/20 season
He played 4-2-2-2 at Watford to suit the personnel and was very attacking but apparently prefers 3-4-2-1.
He's described by Ben Foster (Watford) as a very calm individual and a good guy that the players appreciated.
It appears news is close and quite frankly whoever it is I'll be willing them on, even though I feel it may be too late right now.
Javi Gracia now the odds on bookies favourite. Hardly very inspiring.
Desperate times...desperate measures.
On the other hand we need a new face in the door.
Been at a lot of clubs, took watford to fa Cup final. Mediocre at best.
Should have got rid of JM when WC started!
Just off the top of my head without even thinking about it and a name that hasn't been mentioned.... Gordon Strachan?
Don't think he's doing anything and would certainly fire us up and knows the club.... Gary Macallister alongside him?
I suppose I'm going too far if I say Hoddle as Director of Football!?
Strachan in....!?
And as if the day couldn't any worse, fkn Colin wins his first game back in charge of the Dog Botherers!!!
Would Roy H come out of retirement? He's a dino but always had some survival talent.
We are really now paying the price of being owned by a true potless amateur.
Love his old school stories etc but too old and too long out of the game now.... he has to stay retired to be a legendary manager.
Has to be bullshiit LeedsNewsNow anyway!
Anyone up.for Redknapp? Not me!
No Marsch reunion - he's declined the Southampton deal at the last minute.
I am relieved we don't face him in 2 weeks, but it means 2 clubs looking for a new manager at the same time.
so scobidoo gets the job
I'm not too sure it matters who comes in any more for the outcome of this season. We left it too late to sack the last bloke. We need somebody who will stick with us and get us out of the championship next season.
If marsch gets saints job is he cup tied in a fortnight?
Ffs
We need to win 6 or 7 games between now and the end of the season and the next two are two must win games...just get someone competent in (nuno will do) or give it to skuby doo.
I would prefer Gerrard or our assistant keep the job than Shreuder,Ajax sacked him after 7 games without a win in a sh1te league,if we appoint him it looks like desperation from our board.
If the lad from Vallecano is our number 1 target we should pay the 7 million buy out fee.
If we are going to be cheap,I would prefer us to give Skubala the next 2 games to earn himself the job Til end of season than bring in a manager who failed in the Eiredivisie with the best team in the league..
2 words I can take out of Alfred Shreuder are usually only used alongside our resident weather forecaster.... dreadful and fraud!
I promise to get behind the poor bloke.... for the first game anyway.
He's got to hit the ground running to save us and himself!
Does anyone know anything about his style of play and relationships with players etc?
I can only find he took Ajax from top to 5th!🙈
It's gonna have to be Alfred Shreuder as he is just ahead in the pecking order of Nathan Jones and David Hockaday....
Marsch 3rd favourite for the Southampton job. Good luck to them.
Nathan Jones sacked at Southampton and hope they don't get one of our previous choices!
Hopefully they'll get Allardyce before we panic and get him....
Since we currently in need of a good manager, why do we not offer Lucian Favre the position until seasons end? Great manager who plays the game the right way and good at getting player to perform. A short term deal until seasons end would suit both parties.
Yosser Hughes has just turned the job down ( twitter comment, made me laugh).
I think we're down to Plan M now.... were none of our first few choices not contacted before the sacking to see their stance!?
Marsch and Bielsa seem to be available....
Annie Slot has ruled himself out.
Gallardo doesn't want to start a new job until the summer..
Rumour we approached Poch but he said no.
we made an approach for Nuno(ex wolves)
all the rumours doing the rounds .
we are running out of options..
One crap report from the up to date LeedsNewsNow says Orta has returned home empty handed from Spain....
Would anyone take Skubala and his team til the end of the season?
He's very highly thought of, speaks really well to the press, was taken from England coaching who wanted to keep him and certainly knows his onions.
One game shouldn't get him a job and maybe he's more of a coach than a manager but I'm sure we can name worse contenders after the dross that our chairman have bought in....
He just hasn't been mentioned at all....
Sitting on the fence here myself but I wouldn't be dead against it ....
Well skuba dooba do did well and he will get the Sunday gig
For those of you like myself who were lucky enough to see the match, to me, the whole incident with Leicester seems to have had a effect on Harrison. On at least 3 occassions we were bearing down on the Manure penalty area and his passing was nothing short of woeful.
Ironically, I quite like him in the current midfield role.
Seems Corberan turned us down because he wanted longer than an 18 month contract.
Shame it is the appointment I would prefer and I think his wages would have been cheaper than some.
We're a sleeping giant with a great fanbase and a great owner with big owners coming in with hopefully a load of dosh.
We're already 17th so if we do get relegated then it won't be the new manager's fault with the transfer window gone.... surely we're too good and got enough good players to get us out of it anyway!?
If we could have finished v Forest, and other clubs, when we're dominating games then we'd be at least mid table already.... and if we didn't have a crap defence....!? 🙈🤣🤬😲
I think Leeds United is a great gig to take....
The search for a new manager:
Andrea picks up the phone, "hi, It's Andrea Radrizzani...."
Carlos Corberan, "oh, err, I'd rather stay at West Brom thanks"
Pocchetino "oh, err I think I might get another offer thanks"
Ange P, "oh, erm I'm doing good in Glasgow ta"
Arne Slot, "who? oh no ta"
Steve Bruce, "jesus, I'm not that desperate...."
Bielsa .....silence then *click*
Might have gone a bit early on the sniff of slot.
Skysports saying its andoni or ange
FFS Arnie Slut is odds on at 2/5!!
Never heard of him and can hopefully be our new Darko Milanic....
Would prefer Corberan. Did very well at Huddersfield and worked miracles at WBA.
None of the other serious contenders have manged in England. Corberan also knows the club well and benefited from working under Bielsa.
Glad Marsch has gone.
Just been sent a picture of a tweet that Radz has put out, goes something along the lines of.
We Are on it. Hopefully white smoke by tonight or tomorrow.
Im guessing they are close and have been speaking to somebody behind the scenes for a few weeks.
Hope it's not Ange from Celtic,the Scottish league is a joke and he hadn't had any big jobs before Celtic.
Can't see us going back in for Bielsa.
would love him involved as director of football or in some capacity but probably won't happen.
we probably won't get them but I hope the board is going after Poch & Tuchel.
I'm not disappointed JM is gone,he took over with us 16th and we finished 17th and are currently 17th so no real improvement.
the board have to get this right and get a manager who can get results and keep us up.
Corbean would be a gamble imo.
Nuno( ex wolves ) would be a decent appointment,knows the division and plays decent football,and did well with Wolves ..
Androni iraola- he is been mentioned. I like the cut of his jib, could be a decent bet.
I reckon it will be corberon, a bit of a gamble in my view.
who i would like that I think is possible- nuno Santo
Who I would like that is probably not possible - Poch
Who my heart wants - BIELSA!!!!
It will inevitably end up being somebody I haven't heard of though I suppose, from Mexico perhaps.
If it were me, I would be making serious overtures to Brendan Rogers.
Not sure about sacking JM
Who would take over?
CC - not proven Prem manager and would he get all of the players' respect and would they all buy into him and his methods?
Vincent Company - I would love to get this guy in! Wont come as Burnley are likely to be in the Prem next season.
Ange Postecoglou - Wont come with Celtic flying.
TT and Poch are pipe dreams
And please no-one suggest the dinosaurs that are Salad Mallard-Dyke, Warcock or Fatty Evans!
