Being reprted on news now that Hockaday and Lewis have been sacked

Well, if all the reports on NN are to be believed its a 3 horse race on saturday, an I don't mean the Derby. Personally I think Gary Mac would make a great coach, managing was too great a task for him I think, but that's just me ;)

vidlufc

1.) 05 Jun 2014 19:45:09
I think out the 3 rumoured names (Hughton, Hockaday and McAllister) I would go with McAllister although I also think Paul Hart would be a good shout.


2.) Do people really rate gary mac? do I miss something? brought some great players to the club as scout but tactics were off, results were poor and motivation was none exsistant. what am I missing? all I remember is poor league results and our darkest moment with the club losing in first round of fa cup to non league opposition. scout yes anything else no thanks 100's of better coaches out there


3.) Wouldn't want any of the 4 mentioned above. My choice would be a proven young manager ready to step up to a bigger club. Step forward Eddie Howe.


4.) Agree totally

{Ed003's Note - this was in reply to Bermondsey btw.}


5.) We played sexy football under him according to many FL pundits. i'd love to have him back. We were without Beckford that dark dark day remember. He'd scored about 5 that day


6.) All the names mentioned don't seem good enough to me. Gary Mac no, hockaday definitely not, the Eddie Howe shout would be good though. But prob not going to be one of the 3 being seen. If I had to choose of the 3 though it would be Chris houghton! Roll on sat!


7.) 05 Jun 2014 21:00:40
Howe is a manager not a coach and the only place he is proven is at Bournemouth. He didn't set the world light at Burnley.

{Ed003's Note - He was shocking there but to be fair that team that went up was mainly his signings.}


8.) Eddie Howe or Chris Hughton


9.) 05 Jun 2014 21:19:47
So the fact that virtually same squad that Howe had got promoted should tell you everything you need to know about Howes coaching ability!


10.) Didnt realise Macca was a scout for Leeds? Just thought he was a good coach who needed a top defensive coach alonside him to get us up. And how can people say he can't motivate players is beyond me. what are they in the dressing room as well! MOT.


11.) Corkwhite, I was not in the dressing room but I did see what happened on the pitch which was in my opinion, lack of passion lack of disire, lack of skill and lack of basic ideas (how many times did we conceed the same goal under Gary Mac? every time ball was in the air in our box we conceded which would suggest bad coach as well?) loved him as a player and seems a nice bloke but coach? manager? not for me think I could name 100 people I would rather get the job


12.) OK Bermondsey I hear what you saying. Bad goals conceded from coners etc were very poor under Macca for a time but I also remember under Wilko a similar situation when the opposition got a corner a goal was on its way in one particular season. Also think about it. under Bates he literally had no cash to spend. Think Huntingdon as number 1 CB! . It just amazes me some folk seem convinced others are well suited for the job with little or no reason! Howe. done very liitle. Clarke. even less. Hughton or Mackay I could take. But give me an ex Leeds player who knows his stuff. and I believe Macca does. I will take him all day him long. Gary Mc is in the running I believe and is probably the best man for the job as the BOSS wants a British coach and he is, I believe, a good coach. MOT.


13.) To be fair, with Cellino in charge, all 3 will be coach at some point in the season


14.) You make a good point about wilko Corky. I rated wilko as one of the best in the world at that time but I do remember that season (Sadly). I also agree some are bounding about managers with little to back it up. If I was MC (id be very happy) but I would go for Kenny Jacket or Malky Macky. Both know the league both good with money and good coaches and get the best out of the squad. But then I am not a bonkers Itailan who wants to be in charge of signings, which raises the point if his signings do badly will he sack himself as I am sure he didn't sack many managers in Italy so it is not like he passes the blame is it?

So we have caught the incatchable and the fab 4 are down to the thrilling 3, feel it's too much and too late for Southampton to be involved. DF just has to be lauded for what he has achieved in 38 games. To be a successful manager you need to be proficient in so many aspects it would give a plate spinner vertigo and his man management is second to none, the guy is a legend already and I have no doubt given the resources and support he needs we will be competitive in the prem. I predict a riot in May, just in time for me 59th birfday ?.

1.) 18 Mar 2024 12:20:00
If Southampton win their 2 games in hand they are just 3 points behind Leeds.


2.) 18 Mar 2024 12:54:40
Hmmmm, an if my auntie had bollox she would be me uncle. Points in the bag please every time, especially now the pressure is really on ?.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 12:54:46
I reckon Vid has had a bet?.


4.) 18 Mar 2024 13:10:21
Agree points in bag is a better position of course.

We shall find out soon enough though Vid if you were far too presumptuous in your dismissal of Saints.


5.) 18 Mar 2024 15:05:43
Hopefully we can carry on our good form into the next three games as think they will be tough games. Luckily the other teams in the top 4 have some tough games left to play (as well as against each other and teams in the top 7) . A few have to play Boro as well so hopefully Bill can help us out ?.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 15:20:08
And that perhaps you were far too presumptuous that we would never make automatic promotion let alone win this league.
But hey what do I know, maybe we completely bail out in these last eight games for the autos and collapse in the playoffs to end up with nothing.?


7.) 18 Mar 2024 15:25:57
Hopefully not OP . but it wouldn't be the first time of happening as you well know.


8.) 18 Mar 2024 15:32:19
It’s also worth noting that Southampton have to play us Leicester and Ipswich all away and you’d have to presume that they would have to win all these six pointer games. Likely? well if they do they definitely deserve to be promoted in my opinion.


9.) 18 Mar 2024 15:32:34
Well Baz, seeing as Saints still have to play Leicester and Ipswich if you are right they will aid us and still at best be 3 points behind then have to beat us by a mammoth score at ER ?.


10.) 18 Mar 2024 15:39:04
Easter can be make or break as we well know. Two victories would be most welcome. Anyway, let's enjoy the calm before the storm!


11.) 18 Mar 2024 16:00:00
Fair comments Vid and OP on Saints having 3 extremely difficult away fixtures at Leeds, Ipswich and Leicester.


12.) 18 Mar 2024 17:34:24
Wouldn't rule anyone out at this stage as the champo is terribly unpredictable, but for all intents and purposes, they have some catching up to do. Is it doable? In my opinion, unlikely, but you never know. Just make sure we keep winning and it won't be an issue.


13.) 18 Mar 2024 17:50:00
True Dill, but the big thing is time and games are running out, draws are now killers, only victories will do, plus you need favours from other teams, really quick batch of games over/ just after Easter and if the gap has not closed significantly it's so difficult with a handful of games left.


14.) 18 Mar 2024 19:01:40
Those games in hand are squeezed into a very hectic run in, which we, as yet, do not have to face.

Your Leeds United Championes bet is looking more promising Vid.

A lovely sunny South Coast morning to all our Leeds family on this magnificent journey. Our boys have done us more than proud, superb, but I do have to say this fixture on Friday is giving me deja vu about watching Dr Who from behind the sofa when I were a nipper, blimey. Have a great mothering weekend one and all, appreciate those who mean most in your life by sharing all the love you have and remember those who have gone before us with a smile and a glad heart ❤.

vidlufc

1.) 07 Mar 2024 08:24:30
Love it mate and fully agree,

My memories of watching sheff we’d range from the extacy of ripping nag them a new one to the year they pulled us to bits and me and my toddler (in matching gold leeds shirts) got laughed out of the pub.

It might be wind but I got a good feeling about the game and a good feeling about the rest of the season!


2.) 07 Mar 2024 08:53:12
Yep. It’s looking a tough one.
But the way I see it is
Who’s higher in the league? Us
Who’s in best form over last 5 games? Us
Who’s the better team? Us.
Who should win? Answers on a postcard ?.


3.) 07 Mar 2024 09:42:13
Well said Vid, it is a sunny south coast morning also agree with the Dr Who analogy, hopefully all our key players will have two days rest and recovery, as I firmly believe we are the better side but we have to match them for energy and fight too, think young Joseph will have a significant part to play in our run in, and looks an excellent prospect.

Win Friday and then a lovely relaxing weekend to watch others lose points and remember and celebrate all those amazing mothers, who have created one of the finest Leeds United Forums ever ?.


4.) 07 Mar 2024 11:15:07
Good post Vid, especially re Mothering Sunday.

As for the football, I know what you mean re Friday. Watched the QPR game last night, my goodness, they were fighting for their lives! If the Wendies play anything like that against us then we will really need our 'A' game.


5.) 07 Mar 2024 13:28:35
It is all to play for at the bottom all the teams down there are showing fight.
Another tough game Fri.
Mez had A lot to do last game must have done his confidence good.


 

 

28 Feb 2024 22:07:39
Well proud of our boys tonight, great performance, on on on.

vidlufc

1.) 28 Feb 2024 22:17:09
Yep, I agree. Not that disappointed; would have taken a win in normal time, but didn’t fancy extra time and the likely impact on Saturday.

We were very good in the 2nd half and felt we could have won the game.

Positives for me.

Archie and Matteo.
We more than matched a mid table EPL team with big players missing. Rutter would have wreaked havoc had he played.
Leicester are in the next round and could easily get to the semis after that Chelsea performance.


2.) 28 Feb 2024 22:33:06
Yes lads. I am pleased with the performance. Played well and could of won it.

Well chuffed with that.

Now the league.


3.) 29 Feb 2024 08:47:33
Defo a rising star in MJ, and this was the perfect game for him to show it; a no lose situation. The Champo games are not, unless no BamBam at all. And how about Archie! His value goes up astronomically with every minute he plays!


 

 

25 Feb 2024 19:13:24
Happy Sunday bruvvers an sisters. I thought, for what it's worth, I would share my opinion on Wednesday. I think we should absolutely play our strongest side. Opportunities have to be reached for when they present themselves otherwise there is no point. I guarantee every member of our squad is desperate to test themselves against Chelsea. It's a free hit and win win and a place in the quarters is up for grabs. We have to strive to achieve. Plus I got a tenner at 66/ 1 ??.

vidlufc

1.) 25 Feb 2024 20:33:46
It’s a gamble playing the best yes I understand but at what cost if 4 players pick up injures we don’t want a play off place, will need a long rest for the journey to PL and you just have to look at how May times bam bam and and others have been out and Stuart still out.


2.) 25 Feb 2024 20:35:39
66/ 1 sounds enticing good odds for Leeds United to win FA cup

but then the last time a team outside top division was four and a half decades ago

before youngsters Chris, Alf and Brighty (?) , were even born!


3.) 25 Feb 2024 20:37:58
A better bet to actually win money is Leeds to beat a tired, possibly dispirited, not very good Chelsea at 11/ 2.


4.) 25 Feb 2024 20:46:10
Throw the kitchen sink at Chelsea, that means all our youth players.


5.) 25 Feb 2024 21:11:47
Sorry Whiteman disagree. We have just come through 2 months of playing 8 times each. Injuries can happen anytime especially against inferior teams who play physical. We have travelled miles in the last few weeks and still come out and won after. The human body is designed to be active. I learned all about that when I got heart failure. Being sedentary serves disaster, that's why obesity is such a problem. It's the mind that drives everything and you have to ride the wave. This is no time for caution. Fortune favours the brave for a reason. We only have 12 league games in a couple of months or so. Give it large and bring it on UTWDTP.


6.) 26 Feb 2024 09:22:21
I'm with you Vid. it's a free hit and if we won, imagine how that would boost the confidence of the team; correspondingly, imagine fielding a weakened team, just losing and how bad that might be.

We have to play the game; we have to play on Saturday regardless. let's put our best options out there and go for it. Wembley would be one game away. If we are going to Wembley this season, far better via the cup that the alternative!


7.) 26 Feb 2024 13:44:54
i might have just been born. I am a sprightly 46 this year. Who was it Baz and what year?


8.) 26 Feb 2024 14:05:11
Alf Hammers I think.


9.) 26 Feb 2024 14:23:41
correct George - 1979-1980 apparently so I was around, just, but not very interested in the game on the day at just shy of 1 year old (ahhh)


10.) 26 Feb 2024 17:15:51
Younger than me then Alfie boy! ??.


11.) 26 Feb 2024 19:08:44
46 Alf? Had you down as younger .
Yes 2nd Div Wet Spam 1979/ 80 beating Gooooners

Also 1976 2nd Div Saints beating Devon

We shall gloss over a teary Baz 1973?.

My information is the same as Eddiegrays, I have a feeling Milky Bar is right about the GFHc involvement, they have a lot of constraint as to Cellinos investment

Like the sound of that Andy, cheers. I think Gibbs could turn out to be very good and if BMD is as committed to Leeds as he says then he will be staying. 8 sounds about right too, cool

Lol, nice post Woody, exactly correct. We are all Leeds and we do all have our opinions, as I have said before it's what family's are like, there are squabbles but the love should never be questioned, that's the glue that binds us. PS, I freely admit, it was me, I said from the start, even though I was called a silly sausage and Aus said my optimism made him sick, I predicted the riot lol. Don't falter now siblings, believe in an back our boys, don't let fear or caution muddy he waters. AlAW and UTWDTP ❤.

Fing is peeps, fing is, it ain't just about who what et Al. To be successful you Have to have unity, a spirit a will. This is Farkes genius, as it was the mighty Bielsa's. They have created a winning environment, energised a club, a city and importantly individuals. This is so rare in modern football. The family is all. Its mind blowing. Who believed this could be possible at the get go? Everything is blossoming in the garden and it's down to the spade work. We are Leeds, we will prevail have No doubt. Rejoice and support our club like only we can x.
