Exactly how I feel/felt, I have that feeling that something is happening behind the scenes with the Yanks, I’m bewildered at the treatment of PH and why not get shot sooner and WJ posted some food for thought on that.

I was positive for 80% of last season, I’m still on Rads side, he is making mistakes but he is certainly the best we’ve had in 15 years? After being so close under Monk and making the start to last season that we did it was like a kick in the balls.

I was glad the season was over, for a couple of weeks I avoided most the rumours, I wasn’t on here much and I was just fed up with allowing something I have no control over (Leeds Utd affairs) to affect my life.

But just as I started coming back and catching up with who we are supposedly after we sack PH and get investment from the Yanks. My feet are on the ground, I want the new coach signing out the way and us to get on with some signings who might excite us all.

Why else would he give us a second thought?

Because no better offer has come in and he needs the money?

Because since the 8th August 2015 he has been in charge of 19 games, winning only 5 at a percentage of 26.32 that’s fractionally more than PH managed with us.

Turned down Swansea because he refused to work with a DOF (Jenkings) - could that mean bye bye Orta?

I’m hoping so but would be a sick sense of humour Rads sending Orta over to arrange his signing. The more I read why he wouldn’t sign for Swansea or the more Swansea were unwilling to bow to his demands the more bewildered I am.

You really do post some cock sometimes. Jenkins is Swansea CEO & Chairman and leaves football matters to footballers. Oh and Biesla turned Swansea down because they had agreed to get rid of some players and he also gave Jenkins a list of 7 players he wanted and Jenkins did nothing so was told to fook off. So go do some research or fetch real fact that disprove me

Turning Swansea down you can take 2 ways and wonder why he would come to the Championship, when he could have gone to the Prem. My view is that he watched the videos of Swansea and made a list of players he would need to keep them up. Jenkins failed to go after them so he decided on not being in charge of a relegation team. If he comes to Leeds you would think he would be doing the same and been told ok I'll go and get them. That's the reason I'm more optimistic, plus the fact he told the Mexican national Coach that he had a chance to get Leeds Utd promoted to the Prem

In fairness search his name on here in the Swansea forum. Jenkins likes to “meddle” in team affairs and wage demands are the two reasons being stated on this very forum as to why it never happened.

If true,he must have reduced his demands,as I don't see us paying more than Swansea could afford to pay.

On a positive IF we do get him there are a few who have posted on the Swansea forum saying it will be a disaster if they renegade on any promises as Bielsa likes to be involved in everything from the signings to the kit man...

https://www.not606.com/threads/if-its-bielsa.318323/page-4 Have a read, some interesting comments

Stop talking sense, you’ll dampen likely the only positive week we may have for the season

Plenty of time for him to turn us down.
Wouldn’t be the first time a con merchant owner has leaked a big name approach knowing damn well it’s never going to happen.
Until it’s done it isn’t.
