Goalkeeper coach was never a player! About sums it up for me. Dunno about the other coaches...

They wil be here next season no one will want them. They will be the stalwarts for a promotion campaign along with Forshaw. The club will look at doing it on the cheap, and then bring in another failed manager. It is has been a clusterfuck of a season and we learnt nothing from the previous season. Utter incompetence and negligence, a club of this stature should not be getting relegated. The board should have done everthing in their power to ensure we stayed in the PL. We allowed a megalomaniac to oversee the recruitment of players and managers. Absolutely staggering, we well and truly fucked ourselves over.

Charlie Cresswell couldn't have done any worse, but we were told he wasn't good enough!

Though on that basis you could bring others in - such as Adamson, when we reached the European Cup final. One or two decent seasons under Graham as well. Promotion with Grayson, and a good FA cup run. Bremner getting us to the play-off final and an FA Cup semi in the same season
Jimmy Armfield.

He wouldn't have done, I agree. The players didn't give a s**t with those fake tears. Driving home after in their prestige cars and out to fancy resurants to meet their agents. All imposters, none of them embody the Leeds spirit. I aint got time for any of them, stealing a living and they are just as culpable.

Yup. Orta replacing players who love the club with his foreign mercenaries.

Isn’t that the truth. That’s the game we follow now, where I live I follow Stranraer, footballs crap but all the supporters know the players from being kids and 99% come from the area, so if they don’t give everything they know about it. The touch line craich is brilliant.

Agree with all of them
If they are still at Leeds next season we will be closer to the bottom than the top.

Agree on Firpo, Struijk, and Roca. The other three could be useful squad players and Coop maybe a player manager?

Good on you following your local side, proper grassroots stuff. My Scottish team is the 'Blue Brazil' followed them since the 90s, seen them play a few times.

Bamford's body has practically given up after all those sessions of murderball. I can't even see him now even as a squad player. Plus his wages are a big drag on the club.

He'll drop to half wages in the championship: most our players had relegation clauses in their contracts...

They will have spent the rest of their bank holiday weekends booking their fully crewed superyacht charters in the Med for £120k a week most likely...The kind of thing you see on Below Deck Mediterranean.

Revie's team probably spent their summer holidays in hotels in Torquay or somewhere similar...

I know - but it's half of one of the highest wages nonetheless.

Even then, £37.5k a week is huge by Championship standards.
