    Neither for me…

    Remember just after we gained promotion? Most of us just hoped and wanted in our first season back to finish 17 or with luck higher. We all knew the score….hey guess what! We were happy with a 17th place finish? We knew this is were will fight out our battles this first season, the bottom 5 or 6.

    Imo a change of manager won’t make much difference. Just my opinion before I get slaughtered.

    I cannot explain it but when Norwich went down with Farke, they would play well initially then the opponents would score and Norwich would wind up losing. Same with Wilder's Blades. I notice that the opponents have worked out that they need to press Leeds high on the pitch for entire match. I am not sure a new manager will that much help initially. Regardless who is manager, they have to be brave and make subs earlier.

    Wonder what Steve Evans, Dave Hockaday or Neil Warnock are up to 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Not sure we have the right squad for either Rogers or Ange.

    If we try and sign Roger?s no doubt we will be printing the fella on the board by accident.

    Bielsa needs to come back with money behind him. We would then begin a cult experience again with exciting attractive football. But he would need to be backed. I’m not convinced the 49ers are capable of doing that. They’re purely in with us on a transactional basis only. Pure investment return is the order of their day and nowt else.

    A target of finishing 17th is a sign of zero ambition imo.

    Did Farke really tell the team that 17th was the target?
    If so, thats a shooting at dawn offence.

    People think a new manager may perform a miracle! But the true nature is that they inherit a squad none of their making. Problems arise, is it the manager or the players, as most of the time it's the players that don't want to play. Ala Liverpool wins the Premier League next season, they won't play for him. What do you do in this situation? Well, you have to remedy the damage, and the easiest way is to depart with one. We brought in what 11 or 12, but apart from longstaff, the others aren't much. The only thing is by swapping managers early, you give yourself some chance of changing things rather than as it was. Rodgers has failed in the Premier League, so do you want much of a likeness? Ange won't come and others like Gerard, well, wtf. zzzzzzzzzIf we get thumped today well it has to be his last game; if not, there is more of a problem, rather manager-player issue.

    It still amazes me that bielsa took the same players that were dismal the previous season and made them into the most exiting attacking Leeds side I hadn?t seen since o Leary, if not better, and even revie who wasn?t the most attack minded.

    Different times Norfolk , taking nothing away from that amazing side of the 60/70s who could do it all but the Football we played under Bielsa was the best Football I have seen in all my years supporting Leeds.

    Another what might have been had Bielsa been properly backed.
