    Good Morning Everyone

    Speculation is rife regarding who will be the next candidates to take the Elland Road hot heat.

    Cielsa remains firm favourite.

    If you wanted to be ambitious, Zidane is 50/1, whilst Cellino is 500/1. <yikes>

    Its fair to say Leeds have a huge week in front of them. Not on are they expected to announce their new Manager today or tomorrow but we can definately expect some transfer activity.




    Why did Leeds wait until June 1st to sack Heckingbottom?

    The reason is there was a clause in Hecks contract saying if he was sacked before KJune 1st, he would be entitled to 1m compensation After that, it was halved.

    Did Heck only expect to be at Elland Road for a few months then? Weird stipulation to have otherwise.

    I was house hunting for a former Souythampton Manager. I could not understand why his budget was only £400k, so I asked him! His response was 'Just incase things go terribly wrong'!




    Hull City fans have been taking to social media urging Abel Hernandez not to join Leeds.

    The Urugian international sent a godbye message on twitter over the weekend.

    It's a good thing Hull fans aren't bitter!




    Pick a former player

    Danny Mills or Gary Kelly

    and

    Ian Baird or Carl Shutt

    Good morning Matt

    Just hope all the speculation on our new manager is put to bed swiftly & we can begin preparing for next season as soon as possible.


    Gary Kelly
    &
    Ian Baird for me, decent goal ratio bearing in mind he played in a poor team

    Morning all...

    I had a look at the Hull board when the Hernandez rumour hit the mainstream press, they were so dismissive of the possibility, truth is I was too thinking no chance. Hopefully a few positive days ahead <ok>

    Morning all :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Yes big week especially as the club would like to get any announcements done before the England circus takes over.

    No no news over the weekend just some journos trying to put fresh spin on it, but things still point to Biesla and he could turn them down flat at any moment. If however he does sign on it must mean he has a bunch of players he wants and if Orta cant get them no doubt Orta will feel some pain. One rumor that could make sense is Fernando Llorente from Spurs, either a cheap buy or even a loan to get rid of his wages. Liorente thinks Biesla is the dogs as he created him and made him a star striker even getting him into the national team. He scored 118 goals for Biesla at Athletic Bilbao until Biesla left and Liorente went to Juve then. He scored plenty of goals for Swansea before being sold to Spurs but no chance of dislodging Kayne so only 1 goal. He's 33 and almost done and wants a new challenge and who knows? I guess if Biesla takes over we will hear plenty of stories about loan moves from Spuds and City

    Hernandez has plenty of offers and until things are decided at Leeds I dont think we will see him or anyone else. It makes sense to not bother with overseas pre season now doesn't it as the new coach will want as much time as he can get with the lads

    Not sure a couple of hours on a plane would disrupt weeks of preseason. its rad penny pinching and it might well cost us given we are playing no quality sides pre season.

    Good Morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Well it could all kickoff this week new manager and some quality signings.Would Loreint come for less wages ,He is a good finisher
    Would Barkley fall into a new formation I think Paulie would adapt better Lansbury must be worth a punt Villa are having a fire salestill like Madison and Marriot for new format
    Baird who got me tickets for the cup semi final and Kelly because he bought me a pint at the Bingley

    You gotta admire Heckybottom
    signed a contract with a team he publicly stated he hated which said if youre sacked within 6 months you get 1m <yikes>

    wish Wetsham would offer me the same deal
    fook me no wonder your results were bad <laugh>



    a little tip <ok>
    try offering your next manager a WIN bonus <laugh>

    No thank you, but if you really insist I'm sure we can find someone who will oblige
