Weekend Debate

So, it's reported that Roca is going out on loan and Rodrigo is gonna see his last year of his contract out on loan.

Maybe it's just me but I'd just say to Rodrigo that he's worth more than a ****ty loan fee to us next season and he will be staying here unless an eye watering offer comes in for him. If he's not happy with that then he maybe needs reminding that he's 32 years old and having a year playing with the under 23's at this point will probably put an end to his career at a top flight club anyway.

Same for everybody else for that matter.

I suspect the 49’ers would have been aware of the likely delay the EFL approval would take. I’d like to think they chose to use that time wisely in choosing a new coach/ manager. They may have already made the decision but there’s bugger all (officially) they can do until the EFL consent to the takeover.

As frustrating as this is for us, some trading in players appear to be happening (Roberts/Llorente), so I’m guessing we’ll find out soon enough. Hopefully before the 2nd July when some players return to training, but definitely when the remainder return on the 9th.

I would like to think the majority would like to redress the garbage we were sometimes served last year. However players don’t normally have relegation clauses inserted for the fun of it. I don’t expect many will want to stay, I’d like us to play hardball with those that want to go. If we want rid and they’re in demand, hold them to their contracts until we get the money we want. If we don’t want em to go, refuse and do a Brighton (Caicedo, was it?). In the hope they will get us promoted, and then see out their contracts with us.

I just don’t understand why they can appoint an interim DoF but not a head coach (or can they if they call him the interim head coach till they get EFL approval). Also, if the premier league approved the takeover what the **** are the EFL dicking around with?

Jammy it’s the hints at the issues behind the scenes. Jordan without saying anything said he would be worried about employing him. I heard stories myself that Parish had paid someone on the coaching staff to give him daily reports. This then caused even more ruptions and a falling out between head coach and Owner. Funny how boring Woy got a tune out of Viera players…… Viera couldn’t get anything out of them

Yeh and I'm not buying that kind of sly character assassination one bit.

In fact it says more about the people spreading such malicious gossip than any individual on the receiving end of it.

Not sure about your first point, thought the interim DoF was under Radz, but possibly not, which makes your query a valid one.
On the approval itself, there is a different set of requirements for the EFL and EPL Owners Test. They had satisfied the latter requirements, but apparently didn’t have a fallback position (in case we were relegated). That’s why it’s taking further time.

If all this is true, and i don't doubt it for a minute, then what are we waiting for? ,get him in asap for christ sake, as he is a far superior choice to Vierra and any of the others associated with the position.

I think it’s possibly him wanting the assurances in place before agreeing

Was literally just speaking to my son-in-law saying virtually the same thing. We were chatting about the rumour that he is off for £3million, we both agreed £3million in the bank or make him see out his contract, his goals could mean all the difference.

Then again I still have a feeling he’s disruptive and having him causing dressing room unrest could be more than a little damaging.

Brilliant post Rover :emoticon-0148-yes:
We do however have some problems on here mate. We have wrist slasher Eire, we also have Jammy who’s calling was the church and he forgives everyone, even Eire <laugh> there’s me who seems to be on medication either anger and hatred taking EireMeds or sane and sensible like Jammy but now decided to do a Marcus and sit back with a glass of wine and watch the fun begin on here may even take in a night of whoring with Wakey and Olof as nothing we can do until we get some white smoke

Doc, I want it over yesterday, sick of checking the web site for confirmation of our next boss. I’m on meds and beer/wine, maybe that’s the best way to handle all the uncertainty <cheers><laugh>:emoticon-0127-lipss. Just hope the delays don’t screw our pre season.

I'd do the same with Dramah.

Just sit him down and tell him that he's going nowhere this year. Tell him that it's new ownership, new manager and a new start. Assure him he's first choice next season and will start every game when he's fit and available. If he still wants to leave then he can go for free at the end of the season. If he refuses to play or sulks then he will be suspended by the club for a season and that's his next move ****ed. Basically it's in his best interests to stay, get his head down and play well for Leeds united.

You know what, I think him wanting to play is his frustration. To start with he wanted it to be with Leeds. When that became clear he was third choice he was happy to play for Cardiff and then Luton. No one, even him, thought for one second that Luton would be promoted. Judging by the relegation clauses of our players, we weren’t so confident about staying up.
