If Big Sam avoids relegation, he will save Leeds United £150 million.

Anonymous wrote: Tue May 02, 2023 3:24 pm I don't know, Kenny, tbh. It feels like it's at the point where change, any change, has to be better than staying where we are, but there's obviously a lot more to sorting out the club's issues than changing manager (again)

It's anybody's guess whether someone like Allardyce could somehow have an impact, and scrape us a point or two from the final games. A total indictment of those running the club that we've gone from Bielsa to Allardyce in the space of fifteen months, though.

I still don't think we'll progress, in whichever division, until the club is sold and a proper, accountable structure is in place throughout. Orta, for all his strengths and weaknesses, should never have had the licence to be making all the footballing decisions virtually single handed. The description of him as the 'architect of promotion' highlights how unbalanced and delusional that set up was.
It's that that makes me cringe the most, and so so angry, because he knows absolutely nothing about good football or a good footballer, that goes for Radz as well but at least he has the excuse of being a businessman.

I'm absolutely livid and raging that one man with a silver tongue has had total control over all things football at Leeds, jeez i hope Chelsea get him.

Have you any wish at all for what happens next re - manager ? Or past caring ?

Past caring is probably not the right term, but i just feel f**king lost for words and sick to my stomach about where we find ourselves 15 months on from Berts reign, one man has unraveled everything and lord knows what our money situation is like.

Look at the footing Bert put us on after clearing the decks - only to let a wildman loose with the chequebook.

Reports that former MK Don's boss Karl Robinson (who turned down the managers job here under Cellino) would come in as one of his Assistants

And presumably Sammy Lee as well

Shame Simon Jordan doesn't have the money to buy Leeds, as he always speaks sense.

I think everyone knew his time was up.

Confirmed: Leeds United announce that Victor Orta has left the club by mutual consent. ImageImage️ #LUFC

Andrea Radrizzani said: “I am deeply saddened — it is clear that it is time to change direction and therefore we have agreed that Victor will leave the club”.

How come it’s taking this long to announce it all.
Is Big Sam pushing for extra Fray Bentos in his package.

Given someone is clearly speaking to the Mail hence leaked email this is probably true as well.

Tallies with the internal problems we have had speculated (rumoured disagreement half time vs Palacw).

May also even explain Gracia sidelining younger players like Rutter and Gnonto.

Nothing we didn't already know, no "exclusive" there.
