The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 23rd May)

No, but that's probably what our forward line is worth

 

I’m grateful to him as he stopped us being a clown show and helped get us promoted. He spent money but unfortunately he didn’t get the best return from his DOF in terms of premier league quality. Though we’ll be relegated, we’re in a much better state than when he bought us.

 

Stuart Webber is a shoe in as our new DOF. Lifelong Leeds fan, today getting panned for saying the women’s game is of no interest to him because it is ****e.

A bit of a National Front past and it should take the heat away from the impending change in divisions

 

Brilliant Olofs already had Webber tattooed on his forehead

 

I may join you

 

Andrew Lloyd?

 

I voted yorkshire party once shame on me.

 

Julian

Get rid of him I tell ya. Oh hang on he hasn’t arrived yet. My mistake

 

Not bothered about any signings he makes he's got my vote for his comment on the over hyped, over covered and under performing women's super league

 

Good man
It's a relegation party we're having Wakey, drown our sorrows together

 

He sounds like just the right man for the job, sign him up

 

If rads is going then it's a celebration.

 

I wonder how many fan bases are actually happy with their director of football. Brentford and Brighton spring to mind and I wonder how many clubs DOF just goes out and signs players that the club wants rather than the coach has requested.

I still insist the main cause of us seemingly not having value for money when it comes to transfer signings is we’ve functioned as a half hearted approach to a DOF. I’d probably go as far as 25% Orta signings 75% coach requests.

I can’t fault Radz for the money he has spent, it’s just been wasted by either a coach or DOF

 

Spent nothing in the year that needed spending. The year after we finished 9th

 

Not true.

Did spend or did you miss those signings ?

Thought you were a superfan.

 

Which summer did we do nothing in the transfer market? Im old. Refresh my old memory. Was it 2021 we did nothing?

 

Dan Ashworth was the brains behind Brighton but left last May to join Newcastle:
Since joining as the club’s sporting director last summer, Dan Ashworth has gone about restructuring Newcastle’s academy in order to boost the quantity - and quality - of local talent coming through.

The Magpies’ academy scouting set-up has already been bolstered by the arrivals of Manchester City duo Paul McLaren and Paul Midgeley,

 

So Orta has been gradually upgrading the players at the academy but since Bielsa went there is no direction, no tactical plan, no coaching specifics as too many different managers involved so each coach at each age level doing their own thing, it’s crap
