You have to feel for their supporters.

There is a God 😂

Leeds fans 🤣🤣🤣

Made my bank holiday that 😆

Beep, beep,beep, beep .....
That's the sound of the Leeds open top bus backing into the garage yet again !! 🤣🤣🤣

Coventry are a good model in terms of progression timescales and in terms of capitalising on good recruitment.
The question is whether we can realistically do the same. We don’t have a particularly good recent history when it comes to recruitment and selling players for profit, for example.
There is a lot to admire about what Coventry have done in recent years, absolutely. In an ideal world you would say OK, let’s do what Coventry have done.
But it is also fair to say they had to speculate to accumulate to an extent also. Both Gyokeres and Hamer generated incredible profit for the club, but they were still bought for transfer fees clocking in the millions to begin with.
Can we afford to spend £1m+ on a player or two at this time? And if we do, can we unearth a player who could have a similar impact and trajectory to a Gyokeres or a Hamer? Do we have the negotiating power and resolve to turn a £1 million player into a £10 million player, for instance?
Coventry are a good model, yes, but it does also come with its challenges as you need healthy investment allied with good scouting, good recruitment and good business strategy. So much has to marry up.
We might have to just forge our own path.

Because we spent most of the last season being told how useless and tactically naive our manager is?

The Championship is a crazy league. I think the only aspiration you can have is to be the best you can be and see where that takes you. There are 23 other clubs who will be fighting tooth and nail so nothing is really a given, for better or worse.
We could be relegation candidates, we could be mid table, we could be top half and we could even be top six.
It’s difficult to predict and difficult to gauge as there are always teams that perform better or worse than their squads / managers / budgets suggest.
Do we expect to compete with Luton, Burnley, Sheff Utd, WBA, Norwich, Hull and Coventry? Probably not, but could we? Possibly. Do we expect to do better than Oxford? Probably, but could we not? Possibly too.
I don’t see the point in getting wrapped up in expectations. We want to see Warne, Thomas, Hale and Clowes with a plan and working well together and doing their absolute best. Surely that’s all we can really expect? Where that takes us remains anyone’s guess.

Come on Simmo

‘Who can stop this Leeds machine?’ the Yorkshire Evening Post will write.
’A waiting list of 200,000 for Wembley’ the Twitterverse will post.
’Look at this. Listen to this. Leeds at Wembley. It’s enough to make even the Duke of Wellington tremble.’ Gary Weaver will say.
Final score: Leeds 0-1 *insert opposition here*

Yes him or Ian evatt , both light years better than warne im told 

I think we all know it will be Rosenior.

Was that a snipe at Evatt from Warne then, Oxford boss is a nice guy he's not a narcissist 😂

Nothing against Bolton fans, but can’t wait to see Thogden’s Wembley Vlog… 😎😂

Hull owner has done a live fans thing tonight and some of the highlights include calling Aaron Connolly fat, calling Ryan Allsop bad (Rosenior refused to drop him) and has said passing between defenders is boring. There’s apparently been a lot more than just this. 

I suppose you can see the thinking. Foreign coaches (Maresca, Rohl and Cifuentes are three good examples from this season alone) usually adapt pretty well to Championship football.
Most Championship clubs are looking to bridge a financial gap and sometimes unearthing a quality coach that can elevate the team and make the overall unit stronger is the answer. Bielsa at Leeds is the impact everyone is looking to emulate.
Hull might be taking a gamble but if they uncover a maverick coach who takes the Championship by storm, it will look totally worth it in 12 months.
There might some method to the madness. Let’s wait and see.

He’s had a great loan move and shown that his quality is not limited to youth football.
I think we should give him a chance to impress in pre-season and have him in the squad for the start of the season.
What do we have to lose? His confidence and appetite to impress will be through the roof.
He may take the opportunity and run with it…

Even on a free transfer, you would expect JCH to cost a pretty penny, especially given he is 30 and this could be his last chance at a big contract.
21 goals in 98 Championship games for two struggling, relegation threatened sides suggests he could definitely do a job and would be a good option to have, but if funds are tight, could we spend the money better?
It’s a risk whichever way we go, but personally if we are going to take such risks, I’d rather stick with Gayle (who is a slightly different player) who has already shown he can flourish under Warne and work well with the current squad when fit.
