The late, great Jimmy Mac once said that the team had no fear and had the philosophy “you score three, we’ll score 4”.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see that philosophy in action at Turf Moor again! Excitement! What is that?

My only concern in saying that is that we do not have the likes of Pointer, Willie Irvine, Andy Lochead. Can Barnes and JayRod actually score goals? The lad Twine would have a big job to do!

That was Bielsa's philosophy at Leeds Swiss. They sacked him.

Come on Sinkov-one of the best centre backs the world has ever seen will not manage a team with a sloppy defensive unit.I am really looking forward to the coming season.I think Pace and VK are on the same page.They seem to want to follow the Brentford route which we have long admired on here.

I think the flaw in Bielsa’s plan was that the opposition were scoring 3, but Leeds were not scoring 4.

A bit of a weakness there, I’m sure you will agree.

I've got a bet on us to be relegated, but to be honest CiB, I'm much less convinced I'm going to collect on it than I was a few weeks ago. There does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel. I still worry about the finances though, I'm not convinced they won't derail us at some point in the season. We'll see.

Bloody hell sinkov it's BT's jackpot time!
I'll bet you another tenner we do not get relegated.
I'll bet you another tenner that our cash liquidity will not present us with a problem at any time during the 2022/23 season.
I'll bet you yet another tenner Cornet will be off before we kick off against Huddersfield to further assuage your worries about our finances mon ami.
Are we on?

I'm on at 14/1 that we get relegated and you offer me evens. You will understand if I decline your offer won't you. I just have this inkling, a feeling in my water, that we are in more financial trouble than Mr Pace will let on, but it's no more than that, certainly not a betting proposition. I think Cornet's absence last night merely confirms what I said when he signed for us, he won't be here next season. Glorious Goodwood on the horizon, more bets than you can shake a sh1tty stick at there mon ami, proper bookies, proper odds. Stop being silly.

I would expect Taylor along with Brownhill to be on their way. Taylor is at the age where if we don't sell now is value will fall. We have already replaced Brownhill and If the money is right I wouldn't hesitate crashing in, it makes sense as it is our new operating model

I'm sure he won't CiB, my comment was in response to Swiss who was dreaming of a return to the Jimmy Mac era, when however many the other team scored, we scored more

I will be happy if we score at all after last season.Looking back-my god it was shoite.I think everybody will be pleasantly surprised this season under VK-not immediately but by about Xmas time.

I hope you're right CiB, but this is not an easy league, it's unforgiving and there are no gimmes. Less than two weeks to go now and Vinni still can have no idea what his starting eleven will look like, he is having to start virtually from scratch against well established teams, battle hardened Championship teams, if he has us in the top half at Xmas he'll have done remarkably well. Good luck to him, he'll need it.
