    Good Morning Everyone

    Leeds Utd have got their man

    It seems from a shortlist of 3 which included Grayson, Heckingbottom was their first choice candidate.

    Seeing how quickly this all transpired, I wonder how long this has been going on behind our backs?





    It will be interesting to see who PH picks as his backroom staff?





    Did Christiensen under achieve during his tenure?

    Should he have done better with the players he had?

    Which players let him down?





    When did Rad make up his mind that TC'S reign was over?





    Are we more or less likely to get close to the play offs under Heckingbottom this season?

    Hola
    Firstly, happy 6th February to everyone.
    We are just as likely to make the playoffs as we were yesterday. Nothing has changed and the season remains over.

    Wasn't a very happy 6 Feb in 1952 to our old King was it but we wwill remember it hopefully it was the day when we appointed a new manager and an English one at that

    Good Morning To Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Well it looks like we have a new coach and lets wish him well I would have liked Marko Silva but apparently he told us he would not move down a league so good riddance he has an inflated ego
    What will PH bring to the table 'Well he is used to working on a very tight budget after replacing Lee Johnson who has worked miracles at Bristol City he transformed the team taking them from 3 bottom tlo promotion
    Then when everything was going well he had to sell Marley Watkins Houliane Alfie Mawson Winnall etc so you can not blame him he can only work miracles now and again

    All the players sent off let him down for one plus Orta didn't get a really good striker nor have we replaced Berkley and appointing Cooper was a very bad decision

    just a thought if we can "poach" a manager from another club why not Rowett, i think it was maybe MIKE Leeds 60 a couple of years ago (before he was banned) said Rowett was the man to go for, since then he has done good stuff at other clubs,that where in a bad state,like us, just saying. ps top o the morning to all.

    Morning all. Good luck to the new lad. He deserves our support as he stands no chance at all if fans are on his back from day one. He will need to be a miracle worker though given the squad he is inheriting. Even the most optimistic are seeing through rads shortcomings. Putting so much faith in Orta is dangerous. Perish the though Heck doesn’t work out and we have to go through this fiasco again in the summer

    TC was out of his depth, it proved that when things started to go wrong and especially after 6-7 games teams sussed him out and the pattern of play he adopted, he did not know how or what to do, hence the slide down the table.
    Hope PH comes in and injects new life into the players, but has the saying goes “ you can only piss with the cock you have” good luck to the lad.

    Feb 6 could be a new beginning you never know a new manager can transform some of the players.Yes the big worry is he bought Mowatt as everyone knows I thought he was useless and he couldn't get anything out of him .Now on the bench at Oxford

    Are you guaranteeing a Champions League win within 3 years?

    To be fair to the guy he had very little to spend

    Interestingly the Barnsley fans still have a lot of time for him, despite recent results - I posted on the other thread what their initial reactions were to the news

    Morning all, lots of issues with this. Firstly I believe Tommy screwed it up for himself with his continual batting back questions and blaming Victor? I hear he lost the dressing room with some players including Felix, Lassoga, Roofe, Anita, Phillips, O'Kane, Klich, Dallas. He wasnt very amenable to players after a match and didnt go in the dressing room. I think he realised just how big the job was and it transferred to players confidence. He was a likable man, and feel for him.

    The new guy is taking massive stick already, but how stupid is that. he's here so lets get on with it and get behind him. Out of the blue for me and can only assume homework has been done because they paid half a million quid compo to get him when better blokes were available for free. I will only say this; Radz must sack Orta if this appointment doesnt work. In fact Radz will look a complete idiot, so hero to zero on this move. Genius or knobber.

    I can imagine some players will be happy and maybe show it by playing better?
