Transfer window hasn’t event opened and people are panicking. Let’s see where we at mid sept. I’ll bet we win 20plus games agin this season. I’ll be happy with that
I would have said that Bielsa mismanaged the Jansson situation, and had he played in the second leg of the play off semi final, Leeds wouldn't have had 4 goals smashed past them by Derby (at ER). Similarly Farke mismanaged Djed Spence who was starting to regain form having been out of action for months with injury). I remember when Leeds got rid of Cantona because he was a 'disruptive influence'. He was still disruptive at old toilet, but he turned their entire club around.
Was he a disruptive influence or was he shagging Lee Chapman’s missus as per the rumours at the time?
No panicking here. Sounded like you were not too pleased with the likes of Shackleton and Cooper staying on and taking squad places up. All I was saying, and have been all season, is that failure to go up would be harder the 2nd season due to player sales. Failure to go up this season would probably see us fall back to mid table obscurity getting panned every season by the likes of Forest and Preston. They weren't fun times.
I'm a little surprised that Farke didn't try Luke Ayling on the right side of midfield. Due to lack of pace he was a liability at RWB, but he's a good passer of the ball, an intelligent footballer, combative and can still run for 90 minutes. I remember when Ian Harte was coming to the end of his career at Reading and Bournemouth into his late 30's. He was great in midfield.
I'm sure Chappers saw it as disruptive, but I also heard he was sniffing around Wilko's daughter. Just a shame that Leeds most hated opponents on the planet profited so heavily due to this one transfer.
The season before last, I moaned all the time about us being down to 10 men any time Aaronson was picked. This season gone, I moaned all the time about us being down to 10 men when Piroe was picked. Are we now thinking that both will be playing in 24/25 season? We're doomed I tells ya, doomed.
