Even though I fully disagree with sacking Larry, I understand Bates isn't ever going to reappoint him. So hopefully we can find a replacement of of equal or better quallity than Larry. Therefore, I'm fully hope Radomir Antic is the next Leeds manager. He has it all. Experience (madrid, barca, athletico madrid, serbia) and had success with his appointments. He likes to build a solid defence and an exciting attack and most importantly he wants the job and knows the budget restraints. He's perfect for us.
I Disagree, mainly because we could see another Sven, Ramos, Gross style! Unfortunately we need a no nonsense coach who plays the british game with passion! and not a european with barely any experience in the football league! I also find remarkable that a manager can get the sack while at Madrid & Barca
When he was sacked by Real, they were clear at the top by almost 10 points and in the quarters of the UEFA Cup, Barca actually ended up winning the league that season. He was sacked by Barca when their new president took over, due to club politics rather then performance. Both Madrid and Barca have a horrible history with sacking managers without giving them a chance. He's got a brilliant track record of bringing in young players and buying on the cheap, but he's not too good when he has money, so might be the right person. And he does have football league experience, he spent a couple of years playing for Luton.
I'm with others on this. The only foreign coach I'd want would be Poyet, purely because he has experience of the football league. Even Sven with all his experience & all the money available to him wasn't good enough even for Leicester!!!
Do you think Sven will ever work again, I suppose it must be hard for him to go elsewhere having managed such a massive club as Leicester!
You had me until you mentioned he was great at buying! Besides the games changed since he last played here. were talking 80's when he played for luton
Well if they do appoint him I hope he is happy only sighning freebies and loanies (I THINK NOT !) as for poyet I hate that w~~K~R never forgive him for walking out ------- still think if its not warnock or anyone else thats promoted at this level then what the hell was the point of sacking larry ???????????
He didnt walk out, he was offered a better job, and done the same thing as most people would do, took it.
I'm actually for Antic. European managers tend to have a good sense for tactical nous which english managers seem to lack. Also would know foreign markets better than british managers, and due to Antic's reputation, one would assume his back room staff would be of a much better quality than Glynn Snodin and Ian Miller
This is the kind of manager that would be either a massive success or an absolute flop. We'd either storm the league or end up in a relegation battle. Tactically, he'll be better than Warnock. He'll have better contacts than Warnock. He has a better record than Warnock. But managing in the second division...I'm not so sure. He might bring in two ****ing massive Serbian centrebacks though!
I know we hate the scum but if he bought in some Serbian centre halves that were half as good as Vidic I'd be over the moon!
and guess what xbpod poyet would crap on us again we dont want another judas we have had enough obver the years
Coming second in the league helps, or first if your Cappello edit: just read the more informative posts [i/]
But its not a personal thing, he's not crapping on us, he was moving to a better job. He was offered a better job and took it, it was not done to spite us but to improve himself.
