    Good Morning Everyone

    Andrea Radrizzani has promised the Leeds Utd players a trip to Vegas if they secure promotion!!!

    I'm sure they'd prefer a big bonus, but I wouldn't turn it down!

    Anyone here got any good Vegas stories?





    Leeds are showing interest in Saints Keeper Frazer Forster. The 6-7 shot stopper is out of favour at St Mary's and a loan spell at Elland Road may suit all parties.

    Given the choice, who would you want between the Sticks?

    Forster

    Gunn

    Pope

    Heaton

    Radebe





    Name you best and worst Leeds Utd top 10 Managers!!!

    Morning all <ok>

    On the Vegas front I have plenty of great tales as I and mates followed Ricky Hatton around and plenty of laughs, drink and no sleep. Stayed at the Ballagio twice and the trip I had with the wife was completely different from the one I had with the lads surprisingly <laugh>

    There are only 2 options on your keeper list and the club have talked to Burnley and saints about Forster and Heaton. Heaton is behind Pope in the pecking order at Burnley which seems crazy for an England keeper and Pope is coming back from a dislocated shoulder and if Pope gets fit Heaton becomes available. Both keepers are capable of Bielsaball

    I see the NI fans are now trolling Dallas for his display and his mistake that led to a goal at the end of the game

    Good morning Matt & all

    Unsure who is available we could afford between the sticks but one thing is blatantly obvious we need a experienced keeper who can play Bielsa-ball
    As for yet another American ritzy idea from Radz.....surely the players earn enough able to afford holidays anywhere in the world. If we miss out on promotion is he gonna send the players to Blackpool?

    Good Morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Heaton fits the bill but can we afford him?
    Will Pontus be fit by Sat?
    When will we see Izzie?
    Never fancied Vegas

    if radz wants to send the team to Vegas in May, he needs to roll the dice himself in January.

    Kerching! Milky reaches for coat.

    Evening all,

    Ah the old lets all go on a celebratory trip together and then by the way, here is your DCM. I've never been to Vegas so no storries to tell. Forster would be good or Heaton but one or the other or both is/ are needed.

    Hockaday, Heckwhatanarse and Warnock would be the bottom of my list of Managers the top are the winners but the question yet to be answered is where will Bielsa end up?

    Heaton is on £35k per week and I'm sure a small club like Burnley will want to do a deal where they pick up at least half of his wage which will save them half a million quid. If we get promotion we can buy him and afford his £35kpw. On a more sensible note though you would think Heaton would walk over broken glass to get playing again as No3 keeper at a club like Burnley isnt a good look

    It's a poor workman..... in his defence he didn't have the best of support but didn't do well at Leeds, in my opinion

    He had a holiday when he came to Leeds because I suspect he soon realised Cellino was a twat and was giving him nothing. So he did a 3 day week and spent 4 days in Cornwall with his family. He took the piss out of the club and us fans who thought we had cracked it when we got him

    Morning all.....never been to Vegas so can't comment, don't think it's on my list of places I want to visit.
    Forster or Heaton would be ok with an option to buy if we got promoted.
    Don't think I could do a top 10 best & worst managers, I'll just do a top 3.
    Best
    1 The Don
    2 wilko
    3armfield
    Worst
    1 hock
    2hecky
    3milanic

    Yep, I wasn’t a Colin hater prior to him joining us, but he was barely there and barely left his office when he was. Maybe he did think it was a waste of time under Cellino but he took the money and Took us for a ride. Cnut.

    Forster is on £70k at Southampton mate. He was signed with having England keeper on his CV when Southampton were spending big money

    Afternoon Everyone.

    A few Managers to discuss.

    David O'Leary

    Was he a good Manager that got the best of out his youngsters or in the right place at the right time to take advantage of emerging talent?

    Will he remember more for getting to a Champions League Semi final or the (alleged) bungs with football agents (and his book on Messrs Bowyer and Woodgate).


    Simon Grayson

    Was League 1 his punching weight or would you have liked to see what Grayson might have achieved if given money for players?



    Paul Blackwell or Brian McDermott?



    Garry Monk

    Had he stayed last season, could he have got the same out of the players as Bielsa has?
