    How is Tuchel available? He did very well at Chelski. I just assumed someone had hired him by now.

    He is a thoroughly unlikeable personality but very sharp football coach. He could likely do wonders with the talent on this squad. we do have at least mid table talent.

    I seem to recall another Leeds coach that has a stand named after him at ER that was the same.

    I think Joel's correct. we'll end us with some second rate coach from some non FA club.

    My point is that he will get offers from higher up the ladder than Leeds if he keeps doing what he is, and holds out longer!

    Tuchel, Spaldy.

    Pro's -Throughout his career as a first team manager Tuchel has been an advocate of engineered conflict.

    He likes to create complex problems for his players to solve & detests players who cannot think on their feet. In this respect he seeks to set himself apart from the likes of Klopp & Pep who are consistently systematic in their approach & prefer to 'micromanage every aspect of the buildup play'.

    His overall vision was to have a tight squad of motivated, mouldable, receptive individuals who would facilitate 'his' vision.

    Did well in France & cleared out the older 'champagne-charlies' of PSG but increasingly became at logger heads with the owners policies of chosen mega €€€€'s replacements.

    Prior to his time at Chelsea when at PSG & Borussia Dortmund he boasted an impressive win percentages of 75% and 63% respectively.

    Con's - Both at PSG & Chelsea he fell out over both clubs policies of recruiting players without the final nod from him - not sure he's an Orta type but he'll like the gritty northerner expectancy attitude.😀

    Has allegedly been touted to replace Moyes at West Ham recently.

    Take the "Pro's" above and you'd like to think that any coach with that attitude would be suitable, given that the players must be desperate for a coach who sets problems and expects them to think, unlike Marsch, who doesn't appear to have been able to define anything, and depended on the players own innate ability to deal with the chaos he thought was a strategy. We don't have the time to bring a manager in who can do the "micro-managing" you mention. The "tight squad of motivated, mouldable, receptive individuals", sounds very Bielsa-like, which many of the mature players would probably welcome.

    I can't see us spending new mega amounts given recent spending, so presumably any new coach will have to "make do and mend" which might also lend itself to his way of coaching.

    As I say, any coach doing those things has to be a huge step in the right direction (and PLEASE, no more playing Struijk as a LB unless we intend to completely demoralise the poor guy!).

    If he can't get a job at Leeds he won't get any top clubs. If he comes here and proves what he can do then the world would be his oyster.

    Hey Hopey, I hear Allan Clarke has still got his 70s adidas tracksuit, would you take him back as player manager again ?. 🤭
    Seriously though, surely it won't be either Lampard or Gerard will it.

    As a fellow Aussie, I would be delighted to have him at Leeds. Would it be his best career move?...I have some real doubts. And has nothing to do with whether he can get the job here, as he it touted on their possibles, so they must think him good enough to do the job. It is more whether he is convinced it will be best for him in the long term. It may not be the stepping stone you think if he fails to keep us up with a squad already struggling. Is it worth the risk? 🤔
