'There needed to be more thought behind it'

[Zilzal]

Whilst the majority of this MB was fawning and genuflecting for some three years over Steve Evans, three highly sober and highly knowledgeable fans were meeting on a weekly basis in a private strip club called the Snatchorama on Doncaster Gate. We made it a rule to drink only Britvic orange and leave it to the other members to stare open-mouthedd, pop-eyed ale- swilled at the slowly and generously divesting girls whilst we got on with the more serious matter of analysing and deconstructing the horribly inept Mr Evans and his awestruck puppy Tony Stewart.

Within a matter of weeks of their dual stewardship we were forced to conclude that they were making it up as they went along, were running on Evans' infamous luck and were slowly but surely steering the club on to the rocks. As a consequence we each drew up an altogether more thoughtful and watertight plan for the future. Acting under the manager's influence our once beloved chairman also wiped his arse on our blueprint for the pres

Another hilarious thread.

Has anyone looked at the wage bill Leeds had under Redfearn?

Win rate 25%

Evans walked into that club and apart from Chris Wood, it appears to me that most of the starters that played against Huddersfield, the other day were there under Redfearn.

1st home win since March. Enter Mr Evans to manage these players.

One's a coach and one's a football manager.

People can go all day about Evan's signings but the scattergun approach to management is what he did/does. Tony wanted to move on, for whatever reason. That's his prerogative.

I sincerely hope that Redfearns record vs Evan's record since they were appointed improves Saturday but long term, there's only one winner. Not that I'm convinced either will be 'long term' appointments.

Redfearn needs to shut his trap and try and build an infrastructure. Good luck to him but I don't think Tony Stewart has the patience. Might like the blueprint of building a club with homegrown talent and a great

I love this eternal argument.

I think two promotions has learnt naff all TBH, he'll never change. Plus it's not worked out bad for him has it? The man knows how to get what he wants and I doubt he cares about the messes he's left behind, it's no surprise that TS a man who admits he has a lot to learn about the game fell for a man like Evans.

Gonna try not to post any more on the subject (what's that? 'thank fluck for that' I hear you say) I just hope that things aren't as bad as they look.

Amanda my ***y chauffeur ...two promotions and keeping us in the championship says it all I'm afraid ...he did what he said he was going to ...and he will do it at Leeds ...the man is a winner .....but I'm over the fat f..ecker now ....come on NR ..UTM

Good reply from howdy. Think this is very true:

''Good luck to him but I don't think Tony Stewart has the patience. Might like the blueprint of building a club with homegrown talent and a great academy but there's no way he'll give anyone the time to implement it.''

We MUST be fair to Redfearn though. He's not done a good job so far but I'm not convinced many would have with this squad. In fact I don't think any of the reasonable potential replacements would have done much better. The best person to resolve this squad was Steve Evans. That's not to say he's the best manager there is, but no one would have sorted his own mess out better than him. By similar logic, I'm pretty confident if Redfearn had had the job since June that his team would have been more competitive than this Evans team (for a start, he may have kept Pringle, Morgan and Arnason and been halfway there). But this is the hand he's got and he does need to get more out of it.
