Manager for next season...

[Sniffer999]

Chris Wilder a "foreigner"?

And as to the rest, agree in principle, but Vardy is as much of a busted flush as Bamford, and as much use to us.

We won't be "decisive and direct" unless and until we are rid of Radrizzani, and I suspect that won't be before the next season starts.

Just a bit of info on those in the investment group we know about;

https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/l...leeds-27160271

So of the $5.97billion that Forbes say the group is worth, $5.3 would presumably be accredited to Lowy, the rest are frankly bit players, none with much more than $120m which compared to other "players" in the football club ownership market is piddly pops. So presumably Lowy will be the one to dig into his pockets.

Fact is we don't know how much money will be made available (we can make a reasonably shrewd guess that none of the minor members will devote their entire net worth to LUFC!), and probably never will. What we do know is that several key players have release clauses in their contracts that would allow for drastically reduced transfer fees now we are relegated (Rodrigo for instance, on a £3m release fee). We also know that the vultures are circling round a number of such players (Gnonto, Summerville, Koch etc) so the demand for their services is clear, the amount we might get is much less so (thanks again Victor).

No other club in the Championship faces the kind of structural upheaval we do with no manager/coach and no 1st team coaching staff, none have as little in the way of corporate infrastructure in place to make preparations for the new season viable as LUFC, no other club in the Championship has a 1st team squad that has the need for strengthening and/or outright replacement that is required at LUFC.

By any rational measure and/or assessment, LUFC is not "fit for purpose".

Very good post. IMO of course....

Just want to see one manager with some football pedigree linked to us.

Wishful thinking...

And again I have to agree. Dismal

Not sure I would put Vardy in the same bracket as Barndoor. If we had Vardy this season I suspect we wouldn't have been relegated.

Jamie Vardy, 2022/23 season, 37 appearances, 3 goals

Patrick Bamford 2022/23 season 28 appearancs, 4 goals

Just saying......

Of the names mentioned;
Potter
Farke
Viera
In that order.

A definite no to Gerrard Lampard or Parker.

Still think they will surprise us with an off the radar foreigner.
ie. not English Scottish Welsh Northern Irish or Republic of Ireland ( for those who don’t understand foreign)

And no experience of English football at any level. Oh my, are we being xenophobic? No, Viera is French, Farke is German (?), Potter..who knows!

[Rev72]

Strong rumour we are discussing personal terms with Farke.

Probably a sensible appointment if he does become boss.

[Billyni]

If our potential owners haven’t been given the all clear, how can they appoint a manager.
The EFL must be loving this. They control Leeds at the minute.
