Leeds United: No nonsense Uwe is right for United – Donaldson

Uwe Rosler.

Phil Hay

23:00Sunday 24 May 2015

Clayton Donaldson was one of Uwe Rosler’s earliest signings at Brentford. The London club have a certain appeal these days but back then, in the summer of 2011, transfers required a harder sell.

“I didn’t know much about Brentford and I needed a bit of persuading,” Donaldson says.

“When I met (Rosler) he gave me these big ideas. He talked about a new direction where it wouldn’t be ‘little old Brentford’ any more. It would be ‘Brentford who were going places’.” And helped by Rosler’s input, they have.

If Brentford were in need of vision four years ago then Leeds United are no different now.

The appointment of Rosler as head coach at Elland Road is, at face value, a shift towards a plan and structure befitting a Championship club and the start of a bigger process.

A new club secretary – Stuart Hayton, recently employed in the same role at Liverpool – will follow him into Leeds and Rosler’s intended backroom team consists of an assistant, a first-team coach and a specialist head of recruitment. The success of that team depends as ever on Massimo Cellino’s willingness to let them work but there are signs at least of a delegation of authority by United’s unpredictable supremo.

Brentford have their own single-minded owner; professional gambler Matthew Benham whose statistical approach to professional football has ruffled feathers but delivered results, both in England and with FC Midtjylland, the club in Denmark where he is majority shareholder.

At a press conference at Elland Road last Wednesday, Rosler said Benham had chosen him as head coach in 2011 because Brentford had decided to “think outside the box.”

Donaldson thrived inside the box at Griffin Park and became increasingly influential in a style of football which the Germans (or Jurgen Klopp to be precise) call ‘heavy metal’; high intensity, rapid switches from defence to attack and a strategy dependent on pace. Donaldson scored 11 times in Rosler’s first season as manager and 24 times in his second – a campaign in which Brentford fell a missed penalty short of automatic promotion.

“We were always 4-3-3 at Brentford,” Donaldson says. “The style that suited the players who were there and (Rosler) knew that. We never played 3-5-2. I know he played that way quite a lot at Wigan but it wouldn’t have worked for us. We didn’t have the right squad.

“That’s pretty much how he thinks. He’ll look at the personnel and then he’ll work out what’s best for them. I don’t how it’ll go at Leeds but at Brentford there was lots of research and statistics. The owner there was big on stats. That’s how he made his money. In the time I played for them it gave us a really successful formula. We had a philosophy. The era that Brentford are in started with Uwe. I’d definitely say that.”

Donaldson, who left Brentford for Birmingham City last summer, says Rosler was a stickler for fitness and discipline – “that was fine by me, I agreed with him on that” – and other players who have worked with the German tell the same story.

Rosler did not go so far as describing himself as a disciplinarian last week but the 46-year-old said: “I like structure and to work under rules and responsibilities. I like to be clear to my employees and players about how we play and conduct with each other.

“You can call that discipline or good management. I don’t know. I just want people to judge me as a person; how I deal with people and how I deliver results.”

Results under him at Brentford were largely above criticism. When it went wrong for him at Wigan Athletic, leading to his dismissal in December of last year, people around the Lancashire spoke of a tense and unhappy mood in the dressing room.

“If you get on well with him then he’s one of the best people to be around,” Donaldson says. “If you cross a line or disrespect him then he’ll let you know.

“I can only speak about Brentford but when I was there, the players were very happy with his way of doing things. Yeah, he likes good discipline but it was more about him making us think that we wanted to be on that ride with him. It was a whole new change for us and it was good. The club’s still rising now.

“Sometimes new philosophies work and sometimes they go wrong but everyone was in the right frame of mind.”

Rosler’s plan to implement a 4-3-3 formation at Elland Road will require skilful work in the transfer market.

United’s squad is short of the pace at the front end of their team and arguably lacking the prolific striker needed to take advantage of it.

Rosler has two attacking, overlapping full-backs in Charlie Taylor and Sam Byram but both players finished this season as wingers.

Byram admitted this week that “right-back is my best position.”

United’s new boss will be at Thorp Arch this week to meet with staff and begin arranging pre-season friendlies and a training camp. Neil Redfearn, his predecessor as head coach, had planned a tour to Ireland this summer but Rosler has previously taken squads to Norway and Germany.

Leeds will allow him to organise his own programme.

“Pre-season was hard (at Brentford) but pre-season’s always hard,” Donaldson says. “I’ve done 12 or 13 pre-seasons and I’ve never had an easy one.

“It was nothing out of the ordinary – just very good and what you needed.

“Whatever Leeds United do he’ll have it all planned out because that’s how he works

YOUNG STARS A 'KEY FACTOR' FOR UWE
New head coach assured the "nucleus of the team will stay"...

PUBLISHED 25 MAY 2015 AT 07:00

 3 59ADAM PEARSON, UWE ROSLER
Uwe Rosler says the prospect of working with United’s exciting crop of homegrown talent was one of the "key factors" in him taking the head coach job last week, having been assured that the "nucleus of the team will stay".

Rosler is already relishing the prospect of working with the likes of Lewis Cook, Alex Mowatt, Sam Byram and Charlie Taylor after seeing the Thorp Arch graduates flourish together last season.

“I think that was one of the key factors (in taking the job),” the former Brentford and Wigan Athletic boss explained.

“I saw Leeds United, as I saw many clubs in the last six months, and I was very impressed with some of the performances of those who delivered.

“I think there is a core of players with their best years in front of them.

“I’m very excited to work with that group of players who I see as having great potential to go up the table.

“I think Neil Redfearn left a very solid foundation for me to build on and put the next building block in place.

“These are exciting times, we just need to get the balance right between being ambitious and having realistic expectations.”

Asked if he was confident they would remain Leeds players next season, Rosler replied: “Like we all know, football is a financial-driven business, but we discussed it and I believe what I got told – that the nucleus of the team will stay, definitely.

“The players did well and have their careers in front of them.”

Executive Director Adam Pearson, who unveiled Rosler at a press conference last week, added: “That’s been a very strong indication to myself as well, that the nucleus and the core of the team will be maintained and will not be sold.”

Pearson also insists that Rosler will have a “strong influence” in the players being brought into the club over the summer, despite a head of recruitment soon to be appointed.

“I don’t think a head coach the calibre of Uwe would be sat here if he didn’t think he was going to have an impact or a strong influence on the selection of players,” he said.

“I think that the club is starting to put in place key positions. A club secretary will be joining us soon, we’ve got a head of recruitment and two experienced coaches coming in to assist Uwe.

“I think these are all signs that the club is putting in place the infrastructure required to move forward.

“There’s one owner of this football club and he will set the policy and make the ultimate decisions.

“But I think, to be fair, he’s putting people in place around him now who are strong enough and capable enough to take this club forward.

“I think you will see some key appointments over the next week to show the intent is there.”

Rosler added: “I’ve been given the license to bring in an assistant manager, a first team coach and a head of recruitment.

“I will assess the staff who are in place. It’s actually good timing with the players returning from their holidays – I now have time to speak to the different departments and see what is in place.

“I want to give everybody a chance – staff and players – to be on that journey.”

Uwe Rosler eager to get Leeds Marching on Together to the Premier League



UWE ROSLER spent six months out of work studying the art of football after being sacked by Wigan.

But now the German is ready for his new term in charge at Leeds United, determined to help mastermind the eventual return of the club to the upper classes.

“Our name is Leeds United and our slogan is Marching on Together. United – together. And that’s what I’m focusing on”

Leeds, once tasting the champagne lifestyle of the Premier League and Champions League, have gone from Ell and back in too many turbulent years of financial crisis.

Rosler, though, sees good times ahead and is happy to pinch a line or two from the supporters’ famous anthem to help punctuate his point of optimism.

He said: “Our name is Leeds United and our slogan is Marching on Together. United – together. And that’s what I’m focusing on. It counts from the top to the tea lady, to the supporters.

“And I will try to bring into this football club that we’re united – together. That’s from the heart. But I can’t deny the fact that Leeds have been 15 years out of the Premier League.

“The club have been through very difficult times. Financially in seriously trouble. But the owner has made it clear that we can pay the wages every last Friday in the month. Everyone at this club can be sure they get paid.

“And now we can push on to make this club great again. Leeds United are a sleeping giant and I can see a lot of possibilities. I see behind the scenes and I can now see steps going forward.”

There’s no doubting the fact, either, that there has been an unhealthy turnaround of managers at Elland Road with chairman Massimo Cellino not afraid to swing the axe.

But there’s clearly respect between manager and owner with Rosler desperate not to look back to a troubled history, but to look ahead to a prolonged stay at the helm as he steers into calmer waters.

Rosler added: “The club’s healthy. Debt free. Mr Cellino cleared up a lot. We don’t need to look backwards to where the next skeleton is coming from. We look forward and hopefully I can help in the process to make the club big again.”

The new boss has huge, fresh ideas and learned a lot from his enforced stay away from management after turning down a handful of jobs to concentrate on his studies.

Rosler said: “I had a few offers to be honest. I had offers from two League One clubs and 1860 Munich. And there were possibilities for me at the end of last season to go in when clubs were struggling.

“But I didn’t want to dive in too early. I used the time well in my opinion. I watched a lot of players. I travelled a lot and watched a lot of football, also abroad. I went to Borussia Dortmund and watched them train at La Manga for a week.

“I went to Red Bull Leipzig. It allowed me to study the game and be refreshed with new ideas going into a new job. I got offers but it was very important for me to get the right one.

“Obviously for me Leeds United are the right one. We need to build on Neil Redfearn’s good job of last season. The club were flirting with relegation and he came in and stabilised the ship. Now we want to continue with that work.

“The owner I find very interesting and I have learned a lot from him. He respects me and listens to my opinions. We speak a lot about football and my imput makes me happy.

“But I’m not a dreamer. I know that I have to produce results from day one. I see tremendous potential at Leeds. United - together.”

UWE GLAD TO GET UNDERWAY

Head coach reflects on the opening days of pre-season at Thorp Arch... -

Uwe Rosler says he was glad to get the "real work" started earlier this week when his United side returned to pre-season training at Thorp Arch.

The new Leeds head coach had faced a wait of almost a six weeks to take to the field with his new squad after being appointed at Elland Road back in late May.

Rosler has since added four new faces to the United ranks, as well as introducing key members to the backroom staff, as the club steps up its preparations for the new campaign.

“I’m just excited to be back on the pitch – it’s been a while now,” the head coach explained.

“The first three or four weeks at Leeds were just office work, phone calls and a lot of meetings, but now is actually the real work on the pitch.

“That is where I want to be and where my passion lies. I’m just delighted to work with the players.

“We’ve had a productive three days now and I’m looking forward to the rest of pre-season.

“For the way that I want to play, the boys need to be very fit. We tested them last week on Friday and Saturday.

“A consequence of the testing is that we have to put in the hard work and we have to put the volume in. What you put in now, you get out in the season.

“Every session will be based on football elements but obviously the physical work has to be done.

“You do it with the ball very often but sometimes you do it without the ball. It’s not the nicest part of the season if you are a player, but it has to be done to get a good base for the months to come.”

Rosler also insisted that all players within the squad will be given a fair chance to impress him between now and the start of the season, including those who had limited opportunities last term.

“I’ve worked in this league before and I had the chance to watch players when I was out of work,” he said. “Seeing them now everyday is a little bit different.

“Some players have really surprised me positively. I’m enjoying working with them.

“Me and my coaching staff are here to improve them and the squad so far has put some very good effort in – they know it is important.

“We showed a presentation of how we want to play. They saw the pictures and they understand that the reason we are working so hard is because we want to play that certain way.”

On giving everybody a chance, Rosler added: “I would be foolish if I was to decline certain individuals before I’ve even seen them.

“With me it is always the same – I judge people on what I see on the pitch.

“For example, Nicky Ajose has been terrific. He has been the F***est and the best runner. He’s put a lot of effort in.

“He was completely out of the picture so well done to the lad.

“It’s not only him, there have been a lot of good performances here. It’s very important to give everybody a chance.”

Alta-White er jo alltid så diplomatisk... 

Hvis du går en side tilbake (i denne tråden) så sier Uwe ganske mye om spillestilen sin i de første pressekonferansene, her et utdrag fra den første (fra den off. hjemmesiden):

....
In the way that McDermott was seen as a 4-4-2 man, Rosler is a disciple of 4-3-3 and plans to use that formation at Elland Road.

“It can pressure the opposition high up the field,” he said. “You need a high level of fitness and energy.”

Players who have worked with Rosler in the past talk about the intensity of his pre-seasons.

“Pre-season will now go ahead as Uwe wants it,” Pearson said, implying that Redfearn’s plans of a tour to Ireland is likely to be dropped.

“Playing 4-3-3, I like to have pace on the sides,” Rosler said. “My alternative system is a 3-5-2 where we play with two strikers. I did that at Wigan and did it successfully in the FA Cup against Premier League opposition. That would be Plan B.”

From front to back, United’s existing squad is short of pace. “In certain areas, we have the right players to do 4-3-3,” Rosler said. “In certain areas we have to add. But not massively.”

Men så vidt jeg fostod Nørgaard under Forest Green-regimet og Restjuguslavia sist sesong teller all fotball som ikke resulterer i hundre tversoverpasninger i egen backfirer og maksimalt et skudd mellom mostanders cornerflagg per andre kamp for hoofball.

For det første må vi ha spisser i Championship som klarer og heade baller...det hadde vi knapt - med unntak av Morsison i fjor!  MEN, for at "noen" skal score som midtspiss må man få baller inn fra sidene, det var det dessverre også lite av i fjor.....
System kan man snakke lenge om, men om man kjører 4-5-1, eller 4-3-3 så indikerer masn me ddet oppsettet og ha enten "flanker" eller vinger som jobber begge veier...noe Doukara kun klarte 1-en- vei i fjor....

Spennende blir det uansett, vi har i mitt hode nå 3-5 midtspiss muligheter....men mangler fortsatt ett par "rene" vinger!  Gary Macail Steven ble vel plukket opp av noen....?
Jerome Thomas fra CP hadde vært noe, eller kanskje denne Murphy fra Sheff U. 

[Annesj]

Mackay Steven var det Deila som snappet ja. Meget go for Celtic. Murphy er et bekreftet target ifølge Hay ihvertfall. En venstreving og sentral midt er prioritet sier han. Forte seg før man evt får et nytt embargo
