Denne nyheiten har eg venta på...

[Wexler]

Det var en avgjørelse som nok blir diskutert fremover. Mener det nå var riktig av Styret å ikke gamble med å fortsette med Gary Mc Lostit.

Men det avgjørende nå blir HVEM de tilsetter som ny trener, og her må vel Styret ha noen aktuelle profiler i sikte ?

[Mr. Leeds]

Vi hører nok noe i løpet av morgendagen!

Hva med Eric Cantona? Han vil jo trene et lag i England, og da et lag fra de lavere divisjoner. Trenererfaring? Tja, beachfotballandslaget til Frankrike. Hadde vært litt gøy å se Scumsupporterne hvis deres GUD hadde tatt turen til Yorkshire.

Det var vel strengt tatt Leeds som hentet Cantona til england i utgangspunktet, var det ikke..?

Det var vel egentlig Sheffield Wednesday som hentet Cantona til England, men de nølte med å gi ham kontrakt og Howard Wilkinson fisket ham til Elland Road.

Saken var at Cantona måtte prøvespile for Wednesday.Da ble han fornærmet...Men Wilko var kjapt fremme og betalte £900 000 for ham.resten av historien kjenner vi, bortsett fra at jeg har fra en meget bra kilde i klubben at grunnen til at Cantona ble solgt var at det ble slåsskamp mellom Chapman og Cantona på trening.Cantona hadde nemlig "tafset" på kona til Chapman....(forøvrig en tidligere fotomodell) og dette forholdet likte ikke Chapman(og Wilko) noe særlig....

I ettertid, så var det jo jævlig synd at Chapman fant ut av det  Hva er vel litt tafsing på kona, i forhold til en ny gullalder for Leeds

Uff, det salget er noe av det mest frustrerende jeg har opplevd som Leeds supporter, kanskje bare slått av salget av David Batty og nedrykk til L1. Eller forresten, ikke noe har fått meg mer forbanna enn innsatsen i playoffen sist....

Ritchie: Players let Macca down

Andy Ritchie believes Leeds United have taken out "extra insurance" against a third year in the League One by sacking Gary McAllister â€" but insists the club acted hastily in culling their manager.
McAllister paid the price for five straight defeats and a loss of confidence in the Elland Road boardroom as Leeds announced his dismissal on Sunday.
And Ritchie says the vital nature of the forthcoming transfer window will have been the driving factor behind chairman Ken Bates' decision to act.
United had drawn up serious plans for January with McAllister's help, and it seemed likely last week that the Scot would be given the opportunity to reach the turn of the year and repair the cracks in his squad, but his departure has prevented a repeat of the confusion caused by Dennis Wise's exit earlier this year.
Wise left Leeds for a boardroom role at Newcastle United in January, hours before the winter window was due to close.
The 42-year-old made four signings before walking out, spending a large proportion of United's budget, and the statement released by Leeds on Sunday hinted the club were unwilling to place funds in the hands of McAllister with his squad dropping down League One.
A five-point gap has opened up between Leeds and the play-off zone, with the Elland Road club sitting in ninth place, but Ritchie â€" the club's former academy coach â€" does not agree that McAllister's reign had run its natural course.
"I don't subscribe to the view that it was time for Gary to go," said Ritchie, who watched the 3-1 defeat to MK Dons on Saturday which prompted the 43-year-old's downfall.
"I honestly feel that he should have been given longer, and I thought he'd make it through to January to give him a chance to make improvements to his squad.
"It's a sad outcome because Gary's a good manager and an honest man. He said after the MK Dons game that he felt like he was letting the fans down, and I'm sure he meant it. In his defence, I don't think he was the only one guilty of that.
"The trouble is that five defeats in a row in the current climate â€" when managers are going left, right and centre â€" is a bad run and Leeds have taken out a little bit of extra insurance by sacking him.
"It's definitely not a guaranteed solution, but they must feel it was too much of a risk to let him bring in more players next month.
"The worst-case scenario was Gary losing his job after making several signings and spending money, and the timing's very relevant. It gives the new manager the best possible chance.
"I can understand the flip-side â€" the club's point of view â€" which is the fear of a third season in this league."
United have dropped from second position at the beginning of November to ninth place and it was the speed and severity of that demise which sparked the start of another managerial search at the weekend.
With Bates watching from the stands at Stadium:mk it did not help McAllister's cause to see Leeds conceded twice inside 17 minutes, both goals stemming from defensive frailty which came to dominate the final weeks of his reign. The club's vulnerability from set-pieces was documented repeatedly but never solved, though Ritchie feels the blame for that persistent failure should not be carried by McAllister alone.
"If you analyse Leeds under Gary, they were a very good team," he said. "They were capable of scoring excellent goals and a lot of goals, but I lost count of the number of times they conceded from set-pieces.
"The problem for me is that I can't see a leader in the defence at the moment. Frazer Richardson's done well in certain areas as captain and he's not had a bad season, but there's nobody taking charge when corners are flying into the box.
"If it wasn't for the concessions from set-pieces, Leeds would be sitting in second or third and Gary would still be in a job. It's easy to say that but it'll frustrate him that something so basic has done so much damage.
"Credit to him because he didn't hide on Saturday and he didn't walk away. His comments afterwards were very honest and I'm sad that it hasn't worked out for him, but as we've seen elsewhere recently, people in boardrooms get nervous when results aren't what they should be."
Ritchie is one of numerous men with experience of managing in the Football League who are unattached and available â€" the ex-Leeds striker has been working as a match-day radio pundit this season â€" but United were hoping to secure Blackpool's Simon Grayson today after making an official approach for the 39-year-old.
The club have 25 matches to ensure that they at least secure themselves another appearance in the play-offs, and Ritchie admitted he understood the concern at Leeds about spending another campaign in League One.
"The club don't want to be in this division and they can't say that they'll definitely get out of it this season," he said.
"At times this season they've played some fantastic football, and I doubt whether many other supporters in this league have seen better, but they haven't defended well enough.
"Unfortunately, attractive football doesn't count for much when you're leaking goals, and certain players have to take some of the blame.
"A manager picks the tactics and decides on the system, but the players are paid to adapt to each game as it pans out. Against Histon (in the FA Cup), Leeds got their tactics wrong and played too much football on a terrible pitch.
"You can blame Gary for that, but you'd also expect that one of the players would have gathered everyone together and made that point themselves.
"You need people to take a grip out there and perhaps Gary was missing that at the end."
