the leeds job the rumours are that david o'leary has fallen out with doug ellis & may return to leeds!!! hmmmmmmmm..............
there aint gonna be too many takers for that job i say get george graham back- he may be hated but he'd tighten the defence up or they could turn to the managerial dream team of cotteril and wilkinson
in my opinion - there's no use in looking backwards to old failiures. it's like taking a step backwards. i know there's not many high flying managers around and available at the moment - but going back to o'leary would be a bad choice. too much bad feeling on both sides. We was well liked, but he spent shit loads and as a team, we got hardly anything back. it's just not a good idea. it wouldn't work.
They need a Leeds man, someone who loves the club through & through. They need someone that will give 110% to the club.
who do u reckon cud do that? what bout david batty for player/manager? he's a leeds lad thru & thru...even when he played for the toon he kept his hoose doon there!!!
he's definately got the passion for it - don't know about the skills though. it would be tough for him to jump straight into managerment like that, his responsibility to keep leeds in the premiership - imagine if (when) they went down - he's be destroyed! although he'd have the respect of the players and definately the fans.
some def fors & againsts there...tis a possibilty for the long term but maybe's not the short term!!! i like david batty...he was & on his day still is a fooking class midfielder...his best moment for me was when the toon palyed man u & nicky butt was making his mouth go at batty...batty just picked him up by his throat & moved him out of his way b4 walking past him!!!
but be realistic, we need someone who will keep us up. none of the above are suitable = give eddie gray his chance, at least until january time, then someone like hart (who i think is the best man for the job) should come in if need be. last thing we need is even more disruption. i was at the arsenal game and it was like watching men against boys, very sad indeed.
4 def but one of the most pleasant ppl u cud meet...he even sent free footy tix to 2 of my mates who had helped him park his car at a cricket match!!
met him in 'Mr. Craigs' nightclub in leeds in 92 or 93. was hammered. so was he. canny bloke had a good laugh. Gary speed and lee chapman were there too.
i've never met speed....i had stopped being a proper tom boy by going to the trainingf ground by that time but those who've seen him out on the toon have said he's a decent bloke..... the worse player i met was andy cole.....he was so rude to us (baring in mind we were 13) refusing to sign autographs & have his pic taken...so we told king kev who properly rollocked him telling him that we helped pay his wages & he should be grateful that we came to c him!!!
Chris Moyles 500-1 shot! Think Eddie Gray shud get a go at it, he knows wot the score is and has the support of the fans and the players
