Next Manager

[Orange Box]

Hope we don't waste loads of money on a 'premiership manager' cos we are going down for sure....so need to plan with that in mind.

Why would we hire a manager with Premiership experience? In all our time in this division we haven’t even bought a player with decent PL experience.

[Clacton White]

Right now the time for Bielsaball type football isn't the right time , if the club are going to persist in that type of strategy then the club is going down ......imo it's batten down the hatches and fight any way you can for points .It's fine if you are Man City playing that way , you have the best players in most positions anyway do can get away with it as your played are better anyway , Leeds don't have that luxury, defense has been a problem for a while anyway but now Bamford is back , and back to his most inconsistent , it's time for a manager type that we may not like after the insane type stuff we have been used to .I am afraid it's horses for courses now .

Orta has just watched Mike Bassett and is on the private jet to Liverpool hoping to persuade Ricky Tomlinson to take the job

[SG90]

Way too premature to say that.

So says the man who didn't want him

Not his fault obviously, but he wasn't the right signing for the time. His next club will be the ones to benefit when he is available for half the price in the summer.

[SG90]

Nuno or Benitez would be good. We don't have any more time for Orta to waste.

[1corvus1]

They need to get somebody in that won't be influenced by seniors players as I think they are having to much say game to game and scoobie is not experienced and maybe he is not strong enough mental to ignore their opinions and pick his own starting eleven and tactics

[Lufcheidi]

To be honest I’ve never had anyone in mind but yesterday for some reason, felt Benitez is the one we should go for.

[The Subhuman]

Benitez would need an 18 month minimum contract, I suspect that's closer to 30 months tbh.... He does have a good record in the championship if needed.

Who'd give Benitez a 2.5 yr contract if that's what he asked for and we're assuming for lot more money than we paid JM

Exactly what I had in mind. Benitez and Nuno have both won promotion too.

They're both quality managers in our bracket, no clue if they'll be successful but I wouldn't be sure Pep would either

[mentalcase]

I'd take Gerrard right now till the season end, nobody can really be any worse than Skubala, I know it's not his fault, but the man is way out of his depth, way out.

[1corvus1]

I believe we have players that could save us from relegation but would need to take a gamble. It probably not popular but Allardyce or Benitz are worth a gamble as I can not see any top manager coming in at this stage of the season and the position we are in. Skubs seems to be listening to senior players about team selection thats only my opinion reading between the lines. Two players should be dropped immediately as Bamford and Harrison offer nothing. I know I am grasping at straws but after yesterday's performance any change is better than just accepting the inevitable. I still feel sick after yesterday

[Jaydog]

Between Nuno, Benitez & Gerrard I’d pick Nuno.
Had a decent record at Wolves which is more our level. Second choice Benitez. Gerrard has proved nothing in this division and is by far the biggest gamble although maybe the Championship might be the making of him.

I'm still leaning towards Mike Bassett as Victor highly rates him

[BradWhite]

Indeed .Right now , Rutter untried ,Bamford back to his inconsistent miss every chance worst, Rodrigo injured .......Joffy would offer something completely different and well worth a shout .Leeds might be the only club that won't give such a promising talent little chance to play . Bamford to me is like WBA Berahinho a few years back , who made a career out of half a decent season, Bamford has had one season where he was on fire , every other season has been riddled with injuries and/or a plethora of missed easy chances . Most important if all though to me is GET RID OF ORTA , as Kenny says the bloke is a complete and utter clown and an embarrassment to the club with his immature fan baiting antics .
Right now Skubala is thrown in at the deep end with no experience , what happened to the " next manager in by Wednesday " ( two weeks ago !) , Big Sam , Redknapp have al said they would take the call , there are others available , Benitez etc , Nuno may be worth a shot yet ORTA is sitting on his hands , the bloke is worse than useless as witnessed by his numerous recruitment disasters.....even the summer ones now , only Adams is showing any signs of being if use now.

They'll now be getting an out of work manager so more of the old dross will emerge from woodwork this week.

Joffy is fearless he just didn't get enough games, and he kept us up last season.


Skubala says he's sure Leeds can get out of the trouble they're in: "We've got good players. I'm full of confidence we can get out of it."

I agree we have got good players, but most of them yesterday played like a Sunday league side.

I think their heads have gone.

[Jaydog]

Not sure if it’s true but supposedly Schreuder is confused by Leeds United as they offered him a 3 year deal, then an 18 month deal & then nothing at all.
All down to the fan backlash

[Cjay]

Surely the incompetent idiots are going to do something before Southampton?

Forget Radz and the other 2 idiots we know they are incompetent.

But Lowy? 49ers guy?

These are meant to be competent and serious people?

I bet they won’t but if they do it’ll be Nuno

Anyone at this point

Peter Lowy is meant to be a genuine fan.

How can he sit back and do nothing?

Hay writes in today’s Athletic how the Leeds board’s ideal plan is to actually have Skubala in charge until the summer. 

‘It is hoped Skubala has enough in the tank to keep Leeds up. From there, Victor Orta is keen to ‘attack the managerial market’ in the summer, when it’s hoped more names will be available’

We are done.
