Leeds potential new manager
- Thread starter RM-Taylor
- Start date
Fingers crossed they appoint him. 
How the mighty are fallen though....dropping down in standards from Forest Green Rovers to Dirty Leeds United.

He'll be gone by January
According to that, he wants to add Peter Taylor II's favourite player to his coaching staff.

I highly recommend a quick lufc search on Twitter. Glorious!
and for the third time within 7 days:-
'I'm bloody glad we've signed Hyypia'.
I'm still Mr Fence but judging by what else is happening, it could be an excellent appointment.

Pretty funny. Someone even suggests they'd rather have Pingu as a manager!

Brilliant! Mind you, the Cellino apologists are even funnier

That covers it. I've tried to placate my mate worried about Hyypia by suggesting he consider how the WBA fans feel.
Isn't it odd how many rookies are being given chances now? It can't all be FFP driven, can it?
The days of the usual suspects (I'm looking at you, Curbs) being touted for every job seem to be long passed.

Hmm mm but there are rookies and there are dog poo managers who've failed at conference level with a decent budget and who have specialised in assisting good merchants such as Bothroyd.
Leeds haven't gone for the rookie.

Jess! You're right. Junior sodding Lewis as assistant! It just gets better and better!
Isn't he just going to be a front for Cellino's team and tactic selection? Who's going to turn down that payday when the last team you managed was Forest Green!
Yes. No one.

'@timellis_82: Not good enough for forest green but good enough for Leeds. Just purely a yes man and a puppet for cellino. And cheap. #lufc #sundayleague'

Out of interest, SB, who did you want as manager? Surely Clement would have been even more of a risk than Hyypia? Is it that you are sorry to see the Spanish era come to an end? Personally, if tippy tappy goes, I shall be only too glad. I was at the other end of the scale, wanting an established Championship or generally English-experienced manager. I am therefore very happy with someone who has extensive experience as a player over here who has managed in one of Europe's toughest leagues. If you wanted Hantz, it appears we are far better off with Hyypia - I am certainly much happier with the choice we have made. It appears Hantz has been turned down by Reims because he wanted to drive a coach and horses through the club. Would TB have stood for that?

As for Leeds, what can I say? The result of years of mismanagement and overspending, principally under Peter Ridsdale. FFP frustrates the wotsits out of me, but at least we have a far more sustainable model under Bloom than many clubs who have tried to spend their way to the top of the league. LUFC just could not accept they were not in Manchester United's league, could they?
I am/was really gutted Oscar didn't work out, long term.
He didn't want to be here, couldn't work within the structure, would seem to have had communication issues, and we still reached the play offs with a thread bare injury riddled team.
Imagine what he could have achieved had everybody been pulling in the right direction.
Clement would have seemed to be the natural successor (of the candidates we knew).
The French fella was intriguing.
When we played it well our style is/was thrilling to watch, sadly that was few and far between.
But that's no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Hyypia has a long time and a lot of trading to do before anyone has to get off the fence.
I'm more than happy to leap into Team Hyypia, but I'll save that till August.
Team Sherwood, Hughton et al would have been a harder sell.
