Sorry, I read it as barely invested.

Think I read that Brighton have one of the lowest wage bills and Leeds increased their salaries by 51% for that bag of sh$te.
Struijk who I said several games ago should not be in the team.
Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Kristennsen and Firpo not much better.
Forshaw the only one that showed he is a marginally better player than the rest of that team today.
2 winnable games to finish and we concede 7 goals.
Full deserved to go down and if I recall I did say some time ago I cannot see many teams that were worse than us.
Utter shambles all round.

Shockingly bad, last goal summed up our season

Also sold over £100m worth. Totally out of their depth

Commiserations! You will be joining my team Hull City next season and I trust we will have good competitive games.
Started watching football aged 8 back in 1946 and have always had a soft spot for you guys. Will always remember watching your legend John Charles and of course Don Revie played for Hull city when I was watching them.
Best of luck for season 2023/24.

Apparently takeover talks were still being held as of last Thursday. Let’s hope it was agreed.

Phil hays latest article makes very interesting reading with regards to the wrangling and chaos at board level in the last 12 months. 9ers wanted Radz out quite a while ago. They don’t want him as a minority shareholder either going forward and a couple of the takeover group are not happy at all that they’re buying a championship club but it’s thought they will still press ahead but it’s up to Radrizanni what he does.

It needs clarity within the next day or two. I’d be interested to see whose words the club statement came from yesterday.

Oh and it’s thanks but no thanks to Allardyce, his team selection was dire yesterday, 6 defenders picked ! Absolutely pointless.

Whilst Allardyce has identified a few things we all knew about such as the squad not good enough, the defence is weak and we do not have the technical ability to compete.
I do think he might be someone the new Board could talk to if nothing else but to get his opinions what the club needs to do.
I would not have him as our Manager but he might offer some insight.
He likes to play a defensive structure with a kick upfield for the CF to hold the ball and the midfielders or number 10 to get into the box.
His choice was limited hence the stuffing we rightly deserved yesterday.
Out of the 15 or was it 16 who got on the pitch yesterday I would only keep Forshaw, Wober and Gnonto.

The Sampdoria owner has rejected Radz's offer

This is the perfect opportunity to rebuild and build an identity. I'd listen to Sam's feedback, but that's all. We need a young(ish), progressive manager who can take us forward and develop our young players.

The players have been told to let Kinnear know if they want to stay by the end of today, so I expect the exodus to begin this week. Harrison has interest from Villa and West Ham amongst others, so he looks to be th first out the door.

Talksport reported earlier that the takeover should be completed within the next 2 weeks

ideal time to have a big reset. I'd expect 90% to go and I won't be sorry to see them go either.
the right manager and D.O.F is vital. a huge call

Pity we cannot trust the young lads mixed with some old heads like the Golden generation at the Rhinos.
Drameh, Cresswell, Monteiro, Wober
Gnonto, Adams, Forshaw, Dallas
Perkins, Joseph

With the likes of Mullen, Hjelde, Gray, Gyabi, Bate, Sinesterra, Sumerville, Geldhart, Greenwood .
Gyokeres would be my choice of a signing to go with maybe an experienced CH.

cresswell/wober is as good a pairing as you get in the championship.
dramah is going.
2 full backs needed.

Chris wilder linked this morning. wouldn't be a bad appointment imo

Be a shame if Drameh leaves considering he was player of the year at Cardiff followed by a promotion at Luton.
And when you compare him with our current 2 RB`s he is imo the better of the 3 especially in the Championship.

How about Mark Robins as our next manager?

thought about him but no. not for me

Of the managers in the championship, I'd consider:
Corberan (WBA)
Carrick (Boro)
McKenna (Ipswich)

I really hope we don't go for Allerdyce or Viera

The championship line up next season:

Birmingham
Blackburn
Bristol City
Cardiff
Coventry
Hudds
Hull
Ipswich
Leeds
Leicester
M’Boro
Millwall
Norwich
Plymouth
Preston
QPR
Rotherham
Saints
Sunderland
Stoke
Swans
Watford
WBA
Wednesday

Getting promoted will be difficult. It looks like the strongest Championship for a few years

I think we will do ok dependent on who is in charge. I have a feeling it’ll be Potter or Rodgers

I'm not very confident, to be honest. No owners, no DOF, no manager, and a threadbare squad. 10 weeks to get it sorted. It's our biggest summer in years.

Same here. The silence from Radrizanni is deafening too. Absolutely disgusting leadership. He’s publicly speaking about Sampdoria takeover but has not said a word about Leeds relegation.

If the takeover drags on more than a week from now it’ll start doing serious damage to our promotion chances. It delays recruitment , DOF appointment, manager recruitment and will unsettle the players we should be keeping. I’m absolutely fuming with Radrizanni, he’s utterly shambolic. This should have been done and dusted.

I actually think Rutter will do pretty well in championship too in addition to the players mentioned above. A top striker at that level is paramount, Goykares is the man but I can see Brentford getting him with Toney banned. But again we need to move fast and it’s an easy sell with owners who will have a big push to get straight back up.

Managers, I’d look at Rogers as number 1 target, wilder would be decent but he’s struggled last 2 jobs. I’d also see if Iraola is still an option, he’s done brilliantly in Spain and plays good football and is young and hungry.

I’m worried with how things stand though..

Iriola is leaving Rayo Vallercano, so could be an option, but he's going to have lots of clubs around Europe after him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Spurs or Palace

Add to that every team has two cup finals when they play Leeds (sic)

see archie gray put in a supurb display for England U17s earlier today.
also I've heard Gerrard linked but lads from west Midlands on my site, who watch villa, slaughtered him. clueless tactically and was raking them down.
I'm being realistic and going for corboran.
did everything bielsa did in his first year at Huddersfield. Next season he ditched the man marking as it was useless and murderball as it put to many miles in players legs. clever enough to see what most could and didn't blindly follow bielsa.
think I'd be happy with him

Surely we’re not dumb enough to go for Gerrard

Is Corboran a viable option? Would he leave to come to Leeds after signing a new deal? Would he be loyal to players he knows, like cooper, ayling and bamford even tho they need moving on?

Surely, the sporting director has to be the priority first?
Gerrard is another Lampard. Michael Beale was the brains behind his team. It all fell apart when Beale left for QPR. His man management is also shocking. The Villa players hated him.

Radz has finally agreed the Sampdoria purchase, so hopefully we start getting some clarity on the ownership in the next few days.

they said beale was the brains guy
