TOMMY How did you get into Leeds' thinking? After leaving Apoel my agent immediately got in touch with Leeds to let them know I wanted to work tnere What do you know of Leeds players? I looked at most of the Leeds squad before interview, assessed the players Championship? I know they like to play 4-4-2 and a direct style ... this does not mean I will play direct football, but I am willing to adapt as needed Why Leeds? I really want to be at Leeds, believe I can help the club What do you think of Leeds players? There are good players here to build with, happy with squad (read this as happy with players' abilities rather than no signings needed) Ambition? Leeds finished seventh last season, so promotion places has to be next step Signing players from previous clubs? There are no players from old clubs being considered ORTA We conducted a thorough process, spoke to a number of candidates We looked at getting someone in who can get the team to play good football, and also be a winner We believe Tommy has the right philosophies and attitude for Leeds United I would rather want him to promise he will work hard and do his best than promise promotion We will only sign players who want to be at Leeds, not because they want only the money ... we will sign the person, not the name ... we will sign the right attitude ... Tommy will have final say on all signings Pep asked three weeks ago to leave, along with all of Monk the Skunk's backroom staff ... they can all fcuk off to Boro, we only want people who really want to be here Tommy's assistant at Apoel joining him, and he is another "very good" Spanish coach (missed a bit of this thanks to facebook, think this is right) Wood has said he is happy to be here and wants to stay, but look at Ronaldo only weeks after lifting the Chumps Lge trophy, this is football no ... we want to keep Wood (however, every player has a price if he wants to go) There was a little insert from Kinnear about buying back ER, didn't quite catch it clearly ........ so there it is, a very calm, understated presser ... no difficult questions ... nothing on incoming transfers but we should see things get moving now that Tommy is in place one big worry for me is that if a big money offer came in for Wood and he decided to leave, they wouldn't try and keep a potentially unhappy player ... however, if Wood WANTED to stay then they'd keep him MY TAKE ON IT Radz clearly has a culture in place where nobody shoots from the lip, no wild promises are made and every bit of business is kept in-house ... Pep resigned three weeks ago, and NOBODY knew ... this fills me with hope, knowing that we have a professional leadership team in place however, I could have used a little rah-rah from the club just as a little lift ... nothing about new signings except no players from Cyprus being considered ... Wood is at risk if he decides he wants to go ... feeling a bit unsure right now, but it's very early days this Championship is a crazy league, and it's going to be a tough season ... Tommy seems to know what he's doing, it's now about how his players react, and how the club goes about strengthening the squad ... I need some convincing Radz, show me a sign Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
So they aint spending any cash then. Only want players who want to be here. Any decent players will get be getting much higher offers as we pay **** wages for the league we are in. Monk will be cherry picking our talant. What a crock of ****. Cant see anything but a relegation dogfight with the wallies now.
After 6 games last season many were saying sack Monk, so lets hope we give Tommy enough time for his message to sink in before we cry for his head. We will have less money because we are spending millions on buying back ER, that should be worth at least one top signing ffs
Would be better and cheaper to tell Bates and teak investments to **** off and build something that isn't a tip in a better location.. Face facts three of our stands are a disgrace and you cant polish a turd.
you wont be good enough to be in a dog fight Chips can see you getting less points than Rotherham got
Will still be getting more than you and that might be all that matters. Just waiting for the rosetinteds to start deluding themselves again and others with no mind of their own to start saying yeah lets give it a chance. If we hit the bottom three at any point after four games sack this no nothing cheap optio and get ready to chase another leech owner from the club. Wood, Taylor and Ayling get him to break even when you add season tickets in. He is going to rape the club... its as clear as day to anyone who cares to look.
we have been building our squad for 2 years mukka 2 or 3 decent additions and we are going to surprise many if you finish 20 points behind us you might just survive
Christiansen was sacked by Apoel so no fee involved. Orta was sacked by Boro so no fee involved. Kinnear left Wet Sham so no fee involved. Bravo is only part time - presume no fee involved. Seems you have hired a bunch of cheap yes men!!
ER will be bought & sold, a deal put together involving the council & developers for housing & retail. A new stadium will go up with naming rights but we end up with a wedge for ER and residency in a new stadium built with someone elses cash. Whats not to like
You lot need to get behind this new guy and hope that in his first year he can make you as good as APOEL then you might just be good enough to get out of league 1 at your first attempt
Wish we had sacked Monk after 6 games now though, he was just lucky and we were caught well short in the end.
