If we go up, who is good enough?

Yes just what we need, Spuds worst manager, grumpy when asked about his faults, stares at the ground in his interviews, losing the fans knows how to defend! Haha an upgrade

Jeez, Leeds paid football agents almost 19m pounds between February 2024 & February 2025 according to a report by the FA.
Leeds payments accounted for nearly 30% of the Championships overall expenditure to agents with the next highest individual club figures belonging to Burnley 5.3m & Sheff Utd 4.4m.

Makes you wonder if we have been planning ahead for plan A of PL return ?

As for the permentations of any new Leeds Coach in future planning then I still think valued experience would be needed.
Psychology is part of the job and is part of the game with the players that are gonna have to be drafted in, imo.
So not ideal for an emerging upcomer into the game now been handed the Leeds rebuild job.

The way you deal with the press is not going to win matches as the Spurs coach currently demonstrates.
Winning games needs players on board, not easy blending a group of individual personalities when under pressure, for sure.
Still think Mourinho would be a good fit for us,WS, if we are gonna show DF the door.

Postacogliu (or however you spell it), to Mourinho, the (not so) sublime to the ridiculous!

If (still an if, not a when), promotion is achieved, we need a manager who can;

1. Be a force to be reckoned with when new players are being lined up, needs to build THEIR team, not some DoFs idea of what that should be.

2. Adept at creating a team ethos, crucially being able to handle egos, and the blending of the skills and psychologies of the few players to be retained and those of the incomers, changing room atmosphere another key.

3. Equally adept at dealing with the media, and by that I don't mean dismissing them at Posta-whoever does, or insulting them as "the special one" is wont to do. Need the meedja on our side, not against us, it will be hard enough without having the 5th estate on the outside pi55ing in.

I think an English coach (if you could find one that fits the above (and more) would fit the "mood music" of a renewed LUFC out to stay put in the PL, however I suspect it won't be, which is a shame (IMHO) bearing in mind the journey that both new squad and new manager could be embarking on.
