    Clock is ticking

    With the season ended about a month ago, and a little more until the majority are back into pre-season, the club on the surface appears to be at a " crossroads" yet again.
    Rumours, uncertainty, unproductive talks etc, re the managers position, surely if Rads and co felt the need to change again, it would have happened by now - they do need to act, or come out and fully show their support / backing to PH.
    Some players need to be sold / moved on, but more importantly the right players need to be coming in, and any doubts that potential new signings may have, could persuade them to go elsewhere.

    Not much concerned about all the rumours, we will see what we will see and I guess we're in the same place as a lot of clubs in that nothing about new players is settled, however....

    Don't hold your breath on the "sold/moved on" element. Look at the players you are talking about, and ask yourself who would have them (and would they be prepared to walk away from a nice little earner at Leeds in exchange for who know what in the lower leagues?)?

    Thats going to be the conundrum the club have to face up to, how to finance other players (maybe the recent share sale will help), whilst not creating an even bigger squad than we have at present, as the surplus can't be gotten rid of.

    Rumours and uncertainty are nothing to do with the club. Heckingbottom is going nowhere and the club know that once the fans and media stop making crap up we can all move on.

    It is very rare you get any business done this early, I'd not expect any movement till mid-june.

    The only doubts are caused by the media and fans, the club I'm sure know what their plans are and the fact we dont know is good as I hate it when our business is all over the papers and media as it just makes us look amateurish.

    The new director does not take coaching lightly - suspect he will be asking the right hard questions which will lead to only one conclusion .... I’ll Seeee thee

    I'm thinking they won't sack PH until they have a replacement lined up straight away like they did when they sacked TC

    It would be beneficial to all if radrizzani came out and said we are sticking with heckinbottom, or sack him and get someone in now, what player wants to go to a club when they don't know who the manager is or who it's going to be, same old same old Leeds.....once and if a new manager is installed the players we are supposedly looking at will be gone.....yawn, yawn yawn!
