He'll stay and try to get promotion then sell, wishful thinking doesn't work in business.

Re: An absolute mess
Here this'll brighten some of you lots day, every cloud anorl that......You've probably got rid of me for the most part, i only joined coz i was amazed with the work Bert had done with our bob standard shite players.....
Just remember to wake me up if we ever find his kind again wilt
Needless to say, i won't be holding my breath, and back to sq 1 it is then.
All the Bert sackers got what they wished for innit

Re: An absolute mess
Remember we needed a squad overhaul when Bielsa came in.Jimang wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 4:01 pm Devestating to go down, but looking at the players we have and the way they have performed over the last two seasons, a mass clear out and a fresh start with a new team is probably the answer. If we stayed up, a lot of the tried and failed players would still be here next season, and we would be exposed in the same way and suffer another relegation battle.
He didn't overhaul the squad. Just made everyone better.

Bang on, Kev, you make some great points which affects our attending fans enjoyment.Barlow Boy wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 4:00 pm Posted this in the match thread, feels more appropriate here...
The club needs a complete rebuild for me.
Owner argues with everyone on Twitter, DOF did the same but in the ground, Recruitment is dreadful, players low quality despite the relatively big spend, match day experience is s**t, ticketing platform is s**t, service in the ground is s**t, beer is s**t, food is s**t.
As I say, complete rebuild from top to bottom.
Bring back dizzy penalties.
There is nothing right with our club.

Re: An absolute mess
Point taken Andrew, but even Bielsa could not make players like Firpo and Llorente better. Need someone to come in who is not afraid to wield the axe, make a few shrewd purchases and hope the youngsters come good.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 4:06 pm Remember we needed a squad overhaul when Bielsa came in.

Re: An absolute mess
We have the players right now that could get us promoted immediately. We'll lose a handful. But throw some of our loanees and youngsters into the mix and we've got enough.
But it needs a decent manager to make it happen.

Re: An absolute mess
Sadly I'll have to make the effort to attend, well I have my pals to consider.
To think, the expectation is to applaud the players in their lap of honour at the end of the game. I doubt I'll hang around.

Re: An absolute mess
what a great goal from rodrigo today, but we missed so many other chances. surprised that Perkins was not on the bench today as he was scoring lots in the U21's. Is he injured ?
Leeds need a great summer 2026 with outgoings and incoming players

Re: An absolute mess
What? Instead of the 36 million man?
No. Perkins isn't injured. But Sam isn't willing to throw any of the youngsters in.

Re: An absolute mess
That is the crux for me. Yes if we keep a lot of the experienced players mixed with some youth, we may have a chance of coming back up quickly. The problem then though is those same players that have not been good enough now for the Premier League will still not be good enough then, and we will be back in the same place again.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 4:21 pm We have the players right now that could get us promoted immediately.

On the other hand if we are able to hold on to just a few, ie Wober, Adams, Sinesterra and Kristensen and build a team of youngsters around them we may be a bit more sustainable if we get promoted. I just think for the likes of Ayling, Cooper, Bamford, Forshaw, Firpo, Llorente, Harrison and Rodrigo it is time to move on. And I cannot see the likes of Aaronson, Roca and Koch being good enough in the Premier League. It will take a brave Manager, but if you keep putting the same ingredients into a stew it will always taste the same.
