The Official Leeds United Thread

[Nom de ploom]

there was talk of the ex brighton manager coming in....?

might as well be Kofi Annan for all the natioanalities in and out of Elland Road over recent years....

continues to be a shambles

What is the maddest, wackiest most bizarre thing you could think of happening? No, madder than that. Well, rumours are that Cellino wants Hockaday back in charge.

None of the reliable sources have said anything to back that up!

edit - Phil Hay says Cellino sat down with Nigel Gibbs to try and get him to take the job as coach but they couldn't reach an agreement.

What he said was in the future he would like him back as a coach. I get that he was never a manager but was rated as a coach. Cellino has spoken to Steve Clarke nowhere near him signing yet though.

[dav123a]

3 points and a clean sheet! Well done Redders. More players to sign this week as well.

[Zad]

Phew, that was a 6-point game too. I'll gladly take that.

Ah missed that. Saw plenty of Steve Clarke related oven tweets yesterday evening thanks to the nutters at TSB.

Much needed result, fair play to Redders. Adryan signing confirmed, lets see how long it is before we break our new toy.

[dav123a]

The new Brolin ?

[gmk666]

A victory.
A clean sheet.
A Brazilian playmaker signed.
And 'conversations' being had with a decent coach that people have actually heard of.
WTF is going on?

[MarkoLUFC]

WAFLL!

[soad]

Nil - nil so far. Come on, let's see some goals!

Yesss, a Goal!

[soad]

And a second one before the half time. Great stuff!

[Killer2005]

3 - 0

New manager in soon too, but do we really need one?

[Zad]

I'll happily take that! Now up to a zero goal difference and joint 8th in the league on points, which after the horrendous start I didn't think I would see this season. Is the new manager a manager manager, or a coach manager? (IYSWIM) Might make sense to keep the current chap as coach in day to day control of the players, he certainly seems to have got massively more out of them than anyone else in recent months.

[dav123a]

Problem with keeping Redders is the next manger will not last long and he is too important to sack. He does some brilliant work with the youth squad.

Yup, that was the key for me. He's done great with the youth squad so makes sense to let him carry on with that role. Brilliant turnaround from him, let's see how Donnie Darko does. Very happy that we beat the dog botherers today!

[dav123a]

I've seen the goals , some real good stuff. It feels strange being positive not just after a win but the future as well. Town were poor and are in a relegation scrap . Cellino went into the stand after the game fans loved it. When he took over it looked like we were in for a rollercoaster ride. We have had some st teams and st seasons. I'm enjoying today.

[giblet]

So we confirm the signing of Milanic and then this happens. Can't wait for the legal saga that will follow, I'm betting Harvey will kick up a fuss the useless wker.

[skibum]

What gets me about this is that there seems to be a set of rules for Leeds and another for other teams.

Isn't Carsen Yeung still on the board of Birmingham City?

[soad]

That went well, a kick in the arse twice.
