Maybe Cellino got rid of Darko a little bit too early, Middlesboro employed a continental coach last year, did nothing spectacular last season, made a couple of signings close season, now seems to have them heading in the right direction nice and quietly, i think they maybe dark horses this season.
As an outsider looking in its a bit confusing and hard to take. Not a fan of Leeds on Leeds so let's hope we can just move on. Hope you had a good time and your not hurting too much now!
Morning all, I do think Milanic would have come good, 32 days is nowhere near long enough. Should have got the job in the summer instead of Hockaday, giving him more time to get to know his own players, the opposition players, other teams in the division and how they play etc. Starting when he did he was always going to struggle, but really he should have known that himself. I do think Redfearn will get longer because the results will pick up slightly, as he knows this division and the players seem to respect him, so a mid table finish would be a good achievement. Would still rather have Cellino than Bates/Harvey/GFH though
DARKO MILANIC has claimed that he is on paid leave at Leeds United and has not officially been sacked, despite the club announcing he was no longer in charge. Speaking on Slovenian radio, Milanic has spoken out after exiting Leeds after just six games and 32 days at the club, just a month into a two-year deal. United president Massimo Cellino dispensed with the services of former Sturm Graz and Maribor head coach Milanic shortly after Saturday’s 2-1 home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. That took Milanic’s winless stint at United to six games, with the club picking up just three points from a possible 18. Speaking to Radio Slovenija, Milanic claimed: “My contract was not terminated, I’m on paid leave. “During this time I must be ready all the time to once again take over the team, if requested by the owner. “My contract continues to run and I’m on vacation. I signed for two years and I will not terminate my contract. In the same interview, Milanic insists that Cellino was wrong to say he has a losing mentality. Cellino sanctioned the sacking on the Slovenian on Saturday evening, admitting he made a mistake in appointing him. Cellino said: “I made a mistake with this guy. He is negative, he has a losing mentality.” Despite Leeds not mustering a win under his watch, Milanic believes he has still made ‘a big step forward’ in his short time at Leeds and just believed he should have received more support from Cellino. Milanic, 46, who won nine managerial honours at one of his former clubs Maribor – four Slovenian League titles, three Slovenian Cup triumphs and two Super Cup wins - said: “I do not believe I made a mistake joining Leeds. ‘”I just wish that somebody would believe in me. Sometimes a manager just needs some support.” “Cellino said I’m a loser? He should look at my CV. In six games, I made a big step forward. “Just before my last match I could hear praises from all side how compact Leeds is now, how the situation is improving.”
????????? This club is going to put us all in straight jackets, wtf is going on, we have now got Johnny Giles making statements that Cellino should go!!! Johnny you were a great servant in your time with us, but do us all a favour and shut the **** up please.
Morning everyone I'll have to have a look on the YEP for that! Be nice to be able to talk about the football at some point in the foreseeable (distant) future!!
