Good Morning. It's Friday 27th September, and here are the Leeds Utd headlines Leeds will lose Bielsa, and probably Radrizzani if they don't go up this season Phil Hay was asked in his recent Q & A for the Athletic whether Radrizzani may consider selling the club if they don’t get promoted this season, Hay said: “He can’t carry on indefinitely in this league. “He’d have to consider his options. Bielsa would go, I’m pretty sure of that, so in a managerial sense [Radrizzani] would be starting again. Is that something he’d fancy after three years at the helm?” Do we believe Leeds are on course to go up? I know they are top at the moment, but theoretically if Leeds lost their next two games, they could slip to 11th place! How likely is it that another Manager would be able to get the same out of Dallas or Cooper that Bielsa can? Cooper for instance is set to earn 5m over the next 5 years. If Leeds don't go up, and Bielsa leaves, he'll still be picking up his 80k a month. If Leeds next Manager can't get the same out of him that Bielsa was able to, his options are limited. Another club are not going to match these wages and we'll be stuck with some very expensive players on our bench. please log in to view this image Bowyer - Sides have been giving Leeds too much respect Charlton boss Lee Bowyer revealed in his pre match presser that sides have been giving Leeds too much respect and has vowed not to change his team's approach. "It’s going to be a tough game. They’re up the top for a reason. It’s going to be a good challenge", Bowyer said via his club's official site. "We’ve got a game plan and we’re at home. "We’re not going to sit back and invite pressure because it’ll be like when teams play Manchester City, the law of averages says that they’re going to score at some stage. "We have to play our game. "No one seems to do that, everyone seems to give them too much respect and sit off of them, we won’t be doing that we’re going to play the way that we play; that’s got us to where we are today. "With our crowd behind us it’s going to be a good game to watch as a neutral." please log in to view this image Edmondson will not go out on loan this season Bielsa is set to knock back offers from clubs wanting Ryan Edmondsons services in the January transfer window. Originally Bielsa was keen to send the 18yo forward to a lower league club, but he has had a change of heart The Argentine feels that he needs back-up for Bamford and Nketiah, and believes Edmondson is capable of challenging for a squad place as the season goes on.

Morning all.. Thoughts on Hays comments... It’s just his ‘opinion’ no hard facts and it’s what the majority of us felt before the season started. I hope Charlton do come out on the attack as it might create more space, it could be an ideal game for Nketiah
Morning guys tough week coming up in my view. Charlton, west brom and millwall really think we need to be taking 6 to 7 points out of these 3 games if we are to maintain our position at the top. What's everyone else's views
Good Morning to Matt Doc Rik Neil and co from a cool Bardsey Well I spent 5 hours at the A'E yesterday Moe fell in our bedroom lucky enough she has not broken anything but she is having to walk using 2 walking sticks I have looked at Charltons results andI see no reason why we should not beat them the only team they have faced in the top half is Forest at home 1-1and in the last 2 matches they have lost to Wigan 2-0 and Brum1-0 so bring it on!
Morning all Great day for Derby fans with 2 mouthy players in the crap for drink driving and racing whilst drunk which ended up with both cars crashing and club ugly captain Richard Keogh out for the season with a broken wrist and smashed knee. All the players involved were told to get a lift home with designated club drivers and cars that were laid on but a group refused and stayed back to get recked an Mason Bennet photos with head in bog throwing up. How the hell did these idiots think they were capable of driving? Serious offence especially as its known the club laid on cars to take them home and then racing means jail time for the likes of us. Oliver Sarkic scored his first goal for Burton the night before last so pleased for the kid and now hope he can carry on doing what he has promised to do since joining Leeds and going back to Spain on loan. Burton fancied him and their manager thinks he has real potential so he needs to do it now. I also think Radz will sell if we fail to go up. He cannot bankroll another season with a new manager who will want to bring in more players Radz will love Bielsa as he likes a small squad and used kids whereas a new manager will want new players to replace the kids and that means the wage bill growing again which in turn means selling some expensive players and bringing in lesser players. In reality going backwards. Radz will also need to get some cash to support his other investments, so QSI may already be laid on in the event we fail again
If I take my Leeds hat off and looked at it from a neutral point of view and I’d seen how well we’re playing I’d say an easy 6-7 points. Fine margins and on another day we’d already be 6-7 points clear at the top, we’re in a great position but it should be better. We need to start cementing our place at the top, on a positive we have Ayling, Forshaw and Roberts all returning from injury. We have Costa and Nketiah who are head and shoulders above last seasons Barker and Izzy. Even Bamford, I know he isn’t putting the chances away but after a year under Bielsa the rest of his game has improved. Bielsa has lots of choice, I hope he chooses wisely and doesn’t allow sentiment or stubbornness to get in the way. Last season I felt Roberts at 10 was costing us goals and chances, I assumed this season Pablo or Costa would fill that roll, even Nketiah so I’m wondering has Forshaw hitting form caused Bielsa a headache and dilemma
Good morning all Radz Did Radz say last week that Leeds would be worth £300 million if we reach the premiership ? I believe Radz will sell Leeds to the highest bidder should we go up, he'll probably take the money & run if we fail Bielsa No doubt Marcelo will go if we miss out on promotion I also believe Marcelo enjoys a challenge & has a close relationship with Radz/Kinnear & co but lets face it he's capable of managing a club with top quality players working under him rather than continuing the process of polishing turds. Also MB is at the twilight of his career so may consider his retirement Bowyer Bowyer is talking up his lads as any manager would. He's right if they get at Leeds we are vulnerable as shown v Forest, Swansea & Derby, games we only had to seriously defend for a few minutes but we still conceded when put under pressure Edmondson Radz has probably had a word in is Bielsa's ear that we won't be spending decent money on a striker in the January transfer window therefore make do with the resources you have at your disposal
Morning all whichever choice Marcelo makes it will be made with far more knowledge of the team than our resident experts.
Morning Duke, I was asking for first hand info on Bobby Collins the other day....did you ever see him play ? Same to leeds60 if you're reading.
If that's genuine then it won't be just Keogh out for the rest of the season, the other two will be in prison.
With thefocus last week on young Erling Haaland and a chance of him coming to Leeds. Has anyone seen the talk this week about Tony Yeboah's son Kelvin. Watch the clip below and see Tony Yeboah and wife in the stands as they go to watch their son who scored 4 goals in this matchand compare the way he moves to his dad...... I wonder if these 2 boys will be landed
Derbyshire Police reported last night told Richard Keogh to take a long hard look at himself in the mirror, but since realised this was too harsh.
Not only did I see Bobby play but I bought a house of him in Crossgates'I also met him and his wife in Mallorca a real warrior was Bobby and his banana kick
