Morning all ... think Pearce is concerned because he was guaranteed a start under Hock, but I feel that once Milanic sees the quality Cooper has Pearce will be benched ... Cooper is similar to Bellusci in that he is comfortable on the ball and also better in the air than Pearce ... for me Pearce is more Tom Lees in terms of playing from the back ... time will tell Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Morning all, Have to agree with that, Billy boy! As we say in Jockoland, his coat's hingin' on a shoogly nail!
Morning Billy, mainly agree. Pearce has been making some great challenges this season, but he seems to have to throw himself into them, they look like last ditch challenges , and if mistimed, we know what that means. His lack of pace worries me, and I do not think he's a good enough positional player to get away with it.
Here we go .... Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 1m Strange goings on at Leeds United - the club have sacked consultant Graham Bean. #lufc Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 1m Bean has been sacked over a dispute involving the rearrangement of next week's game against Reading. #lufc Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 1m Bean okayed the rearrangement with David Hockaday who was head coach at the time (in July). Cellino was abroad and wasn't told. #lufc Phil Hay ‏@PhilHayYEP 1m Statement from Bean: "I’ve enjoyed working with staff at Leeds. As far as working with Mr Cellino is concerned I’d prefer not to comment."
CHARLES SALE: Angry Leeds consultant Graham Bean cuts ties with agents over money owed in Stephen Warnock deal Man who runs day-to-day operations at Leeds won't deal with SEM agents He dealt with company's managing director Craig Honeyman over Warnock One text from Honeyman called Bean a 'pathetic old policeman' and said: 'Don't ever try to threaten or intimidate me. I've seen your waisteline' A row over money owed from full back Stephen Warnock’s move from Aston Villa to Leeds in January 2013 has led to Elland Road refusing to deal with football agents SEM in future. Leeds consultant Graham Bean, effectively in day-to-day control for Italian owner Massimo Cellino, has cut any ties with SEM following incendiary texts sent to him by their managing director Craig Honeyman. One text from Honeyman infuriated Bean, highly respected former FA compliance chief. It read: ‘Pathetic old policeman trying to throw his weight around. It doesn’t work without the uniform old man. I will meet you anywhere any time no problem. Don’t ever try to threaten or intimidate me. I’ve seen your waistline.’ VIDEO Scroll down to watch a hilarious chant from a Leeds United fan please log in to view this image +4 Dispute: Leeds are now refusing to work with SEM after a dispute over money in Stephen Warnock's deal Bean said: ‘Mr Honeyman needs to be a lot more professional in his dealings with clubs. Sending such immature messages is not acceptable in any form of business.’ Honeyman took over as CEO after Jerome Anderson resigned last September. He said: ‘Commission was due on a deal. Leeds didn’t want to pay. Our lawyers dealt with the matter. Payment was received and we all move on.’
Afternoon guys, after watching him play and listening to the pre-match interview I don't think Pearce should be the captain - he doesn't sound like a driving force - and isn't the best of central defenders. Who would you guys have as captain if there were a change? For me i'd be looking at bianchi or bellusci
Antenucci would be a good choice as captain. He was captain of Ternana before he came to Leeds, and was well respected by his teammates and supporters
