Manager for next season...

[Rev72]

Looks like its all gonna be signed sealed and delivered some time Monday.

A touch over 4 weeks before it all kicks off , be hopes this farke fella hits the ground running pre-season and gets some quality in.

Got a strange feeling about being back in the championship , its like a cross between being pissed off/gutted/disappointed/can't believe we are back etc etc....Norfolk will know what I mean.

As always ,

Just like we were supposed to have the manager situation sorted last weekend?

I'll believe it when we have formal confirmation from the EFL that they have sanctioned the shareholding transfer and the ODT evaluations have been passed by all the 49E investors, not before.

Our current commercial director thought it was a wonderful achievement! Wonder how long he will last under new ownership!

I thought you were more of a cream puff sort of guy…

Never assume anything I guess 😎

I do know exactly how you feel rev, back to buying the football league paper on a Sunday, finding a snippet of leeds on the football league show on channel 5 (or wherever) instead of motd, listening to my workmates talk about their teams play Chelsea, arsenal etc, then ask where mighty Leeds are this weekend and I embarrassingly say "Blackburn away"...its like we've never been away, 3 seasons forward, 10 back...all that work bielsa done, wasted, should never have happened, and we're still blundering along pathetic as ever, I thought I'd be over it by now and exited for the challenge of heading back, but as its all still broken I'm not, am I still angry?....yes, am I looking forward to kick off in August?....no, am I still sick, tired and fed up with football and the complete incompetence of this club?....to damn right I am.

More disappointed then angry, the writing was on the wall months ago, we scraped in last day of last season and hardly any improvement this last time out. We are just not good enough, we’ve been badly managed as WTF has said for the best part of two seasons. Going down this time didn’t feel like it did the last time, course I’m a bit older! This time I found it easy to accept we are not just good enough. The question (already time and again has been answered) is why?
I started following us when we were in 2nd division. When it was football, played on a pitch not a stage or screen.

I've followed (and go sometimes) since 72 (bawled my eyes out in 73 as a 9 year old against Sunderland, and again in 75 against bayern Munich) disappointed and sad then but not angry (well slightly as we were cheated in Paris) this relegation is anger cos it should never have happened, like you say didn't learn by the escape last season, and the people who failed us dismally (the hierarchy) have cleared off to pastures and riches new without an apology or care, and the players (where half of the rats will desert a sinking ship for new riches untold, instead of staying to put right their wrongs) so yes anger still holds for me.

However annoying and frustrating it is we have been in much worse positions before. Of course it could be better but that is how life sometimes is and it’s part of our song.

Some wanted Radz and Orta out - they have both gone.

Some wanted a lot of players releasing and it looks like they will get there wish.

We all knew that relegation was a distinct possibility from the first few months of last season so it wasn’t a massive shock even if how we crumbled at the end was disappointing.

Sure happier with the position we are in than last time we got related when we were going into financial meltdown.

Doesn’t seem to be much point in moaning about the delays as it is what it is but surely we have to give the 49ers a bit of slack to see what their plans are and then how they deliver them.

If the rumours of who our new manager is are true then that seems like a good start.

Similarly, the players that are being released a lot of you wanted gone so youngsters could get a shot - that looks like it may happen.

If you want some good news look at the YouTube clips of Archie Gray’s younger brother who plays up front - he also looks a very special talent.
