Our manager and his assistant had a fantastic window.Great deals done.Thank God he has a financial interest in the club or someone might come in for him.
The best coach for Leeds already works for the club.

The more I think about it, the more I'd give Redders a go. He's Leeds through & through, he's developing gems in the Academy & he's working for us already.
The only caveat, is that if it doesn't work out, he gets demoted & not sacked. MOT

With redders think it is too early to say. personally I would give him five to ten games and see how things go. I would have him back as youth team if it doesn't work out as no1. not sure he should get job but think he deserves a chance

IMO I think he should be left in charge of the kids. Putting Redders in the front line for 5-10 games just creates more uncertainty amongst the squad. I would like MC to go all out for Steve Clarke, if not him then a coach that the squad knows is the permanent coach, or is until MC decides to swing the axe!

I think there genuine reasons for giving Redders a chance.

1. He will give the kids a chance

2. He knows the club and the traditions

3. The change in the team last week payed instant dividends both in style of play and result. Not the best performance overall but massive improvement

4. He could instigate another O'Leary's babes type situation.

He is not manager material but he knows that himself but there is no doubt he is a good coach.

Having said all that, there is one thing though. I'm not buying this "i'm confused" rubbish. What's that all about? If there is one person who knows exactly what he is doing in all this it is MC.

MC says he is confused about the number of coaches contacting him regarding the vacancy. I hope that he has his salt pot well out of the way when choosing from the multitude. There won't be a decision this week as he's away in the States but I just hope that he ring. fences the money from Smiths sale to get a decent manager/coach and then commit to that choice and put his trigger finger away so that a team can be built to move us forward. I can see us lurching from one unknown poor choice to another over the next couple of years and we need some stability.

I agree that Redders would be of most benefit to the club not being head coach and therefore not under constant pressure of being fired, saying that who in their right mind would want to work under those conditions unless they're just there for a quick pay day.

All managers work under that pressure any coach loses 4 out of five would be under pressure its the way with every job. if that was the case no one would manage. only job you can win one in six and be ok is the england job it would seem
