    Why do we need to worry about them at this stage?

    All I'm doing is highlighting a fact that will hinder howe from preparing ad easily..... the result of the match I've never brought into question.

    It will hinder him because he'll not know or have any idea what side or tactics will be employed.

    So you're saying howe will read Allardyces mind and prepare as easily as if a managerial change wasn't made ?

    I'm going to disagree and stick with my assertion that it will be more difficult to prepare for.

    No, I don't agree that at all.

    All games require significant preparation. We were never taking any preparation easy.

    So you're saying that preparation is not impacted by managerial changes ? You're saying it isn't advantageous to know the opposition or be able to study them over a period of time.

    I'm going to disagree.

    This is twisty turny load of blather.

    I know Howe prepares and trains properly for every game, and that's all that matters.

    It's not me doing the twisting and turning mate.

    My position was and still is very simple and straight fwd ..... I'm saying that Leeds away is now more difficult for howe to know what to expect.

    You're challenging that position with all sorts of side arguments and opinions on outcomes which are irrelevant in relation to my position.

    Why?

    We all know how Allardyce’s teams play. We all know how Leeds play. Why is it more difficult to know what to expect? Don’t most manager’s make slight adjustments anyway so as to try and fox the opposition?

    It's not though, an opposing team changing manager happens all the time, and any manager worth their salt isn't going to let that affect his preparations.

    It's more difficult to except for Howe why? Cos the perennial Premier league jobseeker just got employed, and we now know Leeds will go for tedious hoof ball? Ain't difficult for him to know what to expect, Allardyce is a one trick pony.

    So now we've moved to the why is it more difficult debate... progress at least.

    The answer is very simple and its because you don't have the same information or can you gather as much.

    I'm surprised why people can't just accept a managerial change at another club before you play them isn't ideal in terms of preparation, but that's fine you're all entitled to disagree.
