Leeds Post Match Thread

[Graz]

So is keeping Kelly, any managerial appointment is a risk, however rather than appoint one of the usual suspects off the managerial merry go round, if we cannot attract a proven man then I see no reason why we shouldn't follow Sunderlands example.

Appointments like that with Roy Keane happen rarely though. I wouldn't be totally against it, but it would have to be someone who had played under good managers for long enough to learn from them.

I think Sheringham could be the best of those you mentioned. Played under Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson, and is one of the most intelligent readers of the game around. Wouldn't necessarily translate to off the field, but he'd be a good choice.

I think Winterburn and Dixon have both been out of the game long enough that they wouldn't be interested anyway. I can't imagine Les Ferdinand as a manager for some reason.

Gary Speed probably wouldn't want to do it when he's still playing first team football in the Premiership.



I like the idea of Teddy though, and I think he'd be the most likely of those to have good contacts and someone experienced to come in and help him.

I like the idea of:

Keegan
Curbishley (if he gets sacked obviously)
Me

Sunderland didn't get lucky they targetted a person who is 100% committed to success, sometimes to the point of being despotic. You could say Keene is the antithesis of Rob Kelly.

I take it you mean the replacement Physio whose taken over duties since the man who built Scunny, Brian Laws went to Sheffield Wednesday.

no i meant brian laws, forgot hed gone to sheff.

doesnt mean he knows anything about tactics and how to apply them. determination is not enough alone.

But he still could have turned out to be a shit manager Ox. You can never tell. If it was just down to a will to win, most of us would be pretty good at it I reckon...

If MM does change the manager it wont be until the end of the season as thats when Rob's Contract runs out.

 

[DesertFox]

He's on a one year rolling contract - so when we say Thanks Rob, you're not going to have your contract renewed, he will have one year left. Job securtity for Rob, small (ish) payoff for the club.

 

[Lako42]

unless he does the right thing, realises he cant get this club where it needs to go and quits

It doesn't 'run out' it rolls. Totally different.

Loving it.... Fact....

Absolutely right, Keene sets himself the very highest standards and wont accept anything below that from anyone else. Don't like the bloke, not many people do. But I bet his playing and coaching staff know exactly what's expected of them, will have studied how the opposition play and have a clear idea tactically of what it will take to beat them. All elements that we seem to be sadly lacking in under the current regime.

 

[stevewalshwasgod]

Sunderland will go up FACT

 

[Macky]

Sunderland will go up FACT

Hopefully by knocking the sheepshaggers into a play-off place, that they then go on to lose.

hope so

hope so

Me too, then Davies walks out and we get him and it all changes.....

 

[Motown Fox]

Their goalie really pi$$ed me off.

I was so pleased his cock-up gave us a goal and would have been doubly happy had his near full time cock-up given us the winner.

He went all the way up the pitch for the Hendo incident when nothing to do with him, earlier he had pushed Levi out of the way when he went near him for no reason whatsoever, time wasted as much as any of their players and reacted to Hume chalenging him as though Hume had gone in foot high generally acted like a certain Arsenal goalie I could mention

 

[SilverFox]

Wise is scum...simple as!

It is therefore no surprise that that would rub off on his shit team.

The sad thing is that Kelly has rubbed off on ours. We love rolling over and letting the basement teams walk all over us. QPR will be absolutely no different.

The only consolation is that Milan isn't stupid. He can see that to ever get promotion we need to show some element of fight. From my perspective I might be thinking RK hasn't had support, but I would also be wondering why the hell he can't get the players he has to roll up their sleeves. Last two games we haven't looked bothered and for me that is not good enough.

I hate to say it but I can't see any kind of promotion campaigne with Kelly in charge. I wanted Dowie here and we have let that go. At this rate I'd be happy to see Micky Adams back here.

Ps. I hate that little sh*t bag Wise!

Stowell pisses me off. What is his problem!?!?!? If he can't control himself he should stay at home.
