Good Morning Everyone Leeds sent a scout to Spain last month to get a lowdown on Huesca midfielder Álex Gallar. It’s been reported Leeds United were in attendance for the game between Real Valladolid and Huesca in February. Real Valladolid ran out 3-2 winners. Phil Hay thinks Rad was right to criticise the players publically. He said: “There comes a point, and Leeds United have gone beyond it, where a squad’s collective ego no longer deserves to be massaged. Their season is lost and two months of dead rubbers can only lead to harsh introspection. Criticism is never more pointed at a football club than when it comes directly from the top.” “Radrizzani saw the sign of submission at Middlesbrough two weeks ago and that night was the end of the line. Three points separated Middlesbrough and Leeds beforehand and Boro played like a side with the play-offs in their nostrils. The smell around Leeds was rotten.” If their was one position strengthened at the beginning of the season, apart from goal keeper, where would it be and why?
Morning all. There was no need to send scouts to that game, should’ve watched Barcelona destroy Chelsea on the tv if they were looking for ideas
Doesn't sound like the heirachy are listening or learning, still scouting **** from Spanish lower leagues. We need proven British championship players, not Mediterranean dwarfs. Anybody watch Cardiff bully Brentford the other night? That's what this league is all about when will rads see this, totally underwhelmed if that's the way it's going again next season.
Morning all Agree with PH and Rad - there is no place for wrapping people in cotton wool when everyone can see that they dont deserve praise. They have been crap and everyone knows it. They need a kick up the backside and have needed it for a long time.
Morning all.. Firstly we already have an abundance of midfield players, we either make do with what we have or buy someone we don’t need to look up on Wiki Secondly it’s up to the coach to slam the players behind closed doors, not the owner. Rads comments about rotating players showed him up as we did rotate them during the period in question.
Rad ultimately responsible for that lot being there anyway.As owner Im sure he has final say in whos bought or sold
IF this is true & i don't see why not,I would have thought this season radz would have learned his lesson for crying out loud,CHEAP FOREIGN IMPORTS,will not get us out of the championship.Has he/Orta learned nothing.the cheapo foreign option has imploded,the only way were getting out of this league with this current business model is via league 1,& yep saw the cardiff highlites,not a bunch of gifted players,but a bunch of grafters,willing to give a hard slog for the team & warnock.If nothing has changed for next season i will be so p***** off.I'm not saying spend multi millions on players,but look out for players willing to put in a lot of hard work (i don't know who or from where) but these are the sort of players we should be looking for,from our own domestic leagues,or even Australia we have done it before ie snodgrass/viduka,kewell etc etc.
Good morning to Matt and co from a very wet Bardsey I think AR had every right to say what he did about players after all its him that pays them I fail too to see us looking at second tier players in Spain unless another Saiz comes along We need a proper keeper a left back BRYAN for me a CB someone commanding Barkley A fast tricky winger Madison and Marriot and Burnie he is after all a Leeds lad So that will mean a clean out Sacko Felix Lonners O'Kaneetc
Steve Evans thinks that Marriot would be the ideal replacement for Woods and I agree with him it means we may have to pay over£5m for him but this is the typye we need someone with an eye for goal and still young OLLIE MacBurnie is another one to watch and would love to play for his home town
Head coach.... The current appointment like the previous one Rad made shows the sum total of Rads ambition for this club.
Said it before the Idaguci thing is the strangest decision in a season of strange decisions. This could be an agreed practice before the squads are named for the WC to make sure he stays fit, but WTF is happening as he cant get any game time.
Radz is a purely a businessman not a football man & came to Leeds to make as much money as he can doing his business on the cheap, he deployed a maximum low salary block for players & coaches, in the main he is employing second rate people who are clearly not good enough to achieve success. 21k season tickets sold, 30k attendances, 20 times on Sky TV, boxing/concert events, advertising & all the other trimmings has made Radz a wealthier man
Next years plummeting revenues will soon alter that. A dog only bites you once. Many gave him the benefit of the doubt, the wise ones saw through him right from the start. The wisest ones of all know Cellino is still pulling all the strings.
He has started 1 game for Leonasa against Vallecano and was subbed at half time when they were 2-0 down. He was back on their bench for the next game, but was not bought on, but in their last 3 games he didn't even make the bench!!
