Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Am I the only one that is relatively pleased with our transfer business, we've never been able to sign players like these before and of course they won't adapt to championship straight away but they'll come good after some time. If we draft in a real holding midfielder and 2 wingers I think we have a good squad, just need them to play good football

Surrey - might be proved wrong of course, but I agree

I agree and I'd love to see Hockaday succeed with them. I think it would be great to see a hard working almost unheard of coach take a young not overpaid squad of players to success in a club not riddled with debt. And not one overpaid prima donna in site-dreaming on. Bring me sunshine bring me laughter

O.k. Andy M.O.T. I was relieved when Cellino bought the club and feared the worse for us if he hadn't. However, that does not mean that I have to agree with everything he says and does. Thanks for saving us from administration Massimo, but you should not become the manager signing the players, bringing a coach who is not up to the job and telling us we are signing quality players when we end up with average players. All this is done for the sake of a few pounds. Sign 5 quality players not 10 average players. I would love to come on here on saturday after a 3-0 win at Bradford and a 5-0 victory against Bolton and say I, n wrong and you are right I want us to win every game PPeacock. I don't want us to be relegated but fear we might with Hockaday. Just being listening to today and every presenter is laughing at us. Do yowant us

You say average players, maybe MC should appoint you as the new coach or even scout!
After 3 games you've spotted our new players are only average umm!
MC/Salerno did well with the players they scouted at Calgari so I will withhold and reserve my judgement until Xmas, as I feel that will be enough time for the AVERAGE players to adapt & show what they can do ;)

MC, Bates or GFH?

Agree0 Disagree0

Have to agree with Deda. Looks like we are buying quantity over quality. Then again its still early days and maybe some might come good? Bianchi still looks average at best to me though. doesn't want to tackle and looks lightweight. Doukara I don't rate at all contrary to popular opinion. let's hope new Danish geezer is a new McAllister!

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Aug 2014 00:07:43
We all want to win every game! It's frustrating the hell out of all of us! As I said in my previous post, I think MC is now realising how tough this league is and how much tougher it is to please us lot! We all make mistakes and the only fools fail to learn from them - MC is no fool. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Mc is no fool and as andy correctly says mc got good players in at calgari. I like the signings, our keeper is best one we have had in while all other signings as much better than under bates or GFH. I think squad will come good. still hate hock and think with a better coach this team will do well, douka also looks decent, sharpe proven at this level, sloth is very good on paper. have faith and that is me saying it! I never have any faith. that said I think bradford will beat us or at best we will struggle to draw. can't see us getting anything with hock calling the team sheet, training and formation shots. still MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

CORK
If he's half as good as Macca I will be happy mate ;)

Only trouble with signing 5 decent players lads is look at Arsenal 4 injuries in 2 weeks then your down to 1 decent player and NO strength in depth.
MC is doing what YOU the supporters asked him to do, get rid of the dead wood!
Yes his signings have not set the championship alight but they are young and will learn. Salerno is scouting 7 days a week at the moment and Rome wasnt built in a day.
REMEMBER 8 weeks ago we had the same sqaud as last year! Brendan Rogers has been a Liverpool over 2yrs now and still re-building.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Aug 2014 13:10:33
Have to agree with the original post we need some quality players at this level. Having watched all of our games so far of the new signings only Sharp has impressed me. MC has done everything right off the pitch & has hopefully put us on a sound footing financially, however we need players that are better than the ones we already have & so far I haven't seen anything to suggest from the new players that they are better. It was evident on Saturday the fans were not happy with Sharp's substitution & quite rightly so, however I haven't seen anything from Bianchi yet to suggest he will be the player we need that can open up defences, granted he has only played 3 games however unless all of the team start to step up to the plate I fear we will be involved in a relegation fight this season & I don't believe we can afford to wait until Xmas for these players to prove their quality. We can buy some players with potential, however we do need some players that have proven quality. We are a million miles away from reaching the premiership within the two years Cellino has targeted.

Been n done it got the t-shirt as they say.
We got Kebe, Hunt, Stewart, Brown, Tonge, Kenny, Warnock etc before you say they are crap.
ALL proven at this level and have won promotion out of the championship.
All it did was get us financially in poo poo land.
Unless your going to spend £10mill on Rhodes or people like that then you may as well leave it, MC won't spend that money on 1 player i'm afraid.
The £1 million pound players that are available are mostly looking for a gravy train and them times have left ER i'm glad to say.

The next 2 games will be a big signpost if we are in right direction or not. If we lose these 2 Massimo will have to act, even with the new players and still some oldies left we should win both of these games.
Didn't want the Hock, very nervous about what is happening at present but these games will let us know if we are going in the right direction or sinking without trace.

Hope the results are positive, and also hope Massimo is working on a new Head Coach behind the scenes.

Almost certain we will need one before too long.

Frustrated fans venting their frustration - nothing new! What was interesting was the comment about what was going to be Hockadays excuse the next morning! The jury is still out for me as I knew the team will take time to gel. I think that even MC has realised u can't just introduce serie B players and expect them to adapt. This is a tough league and we all have to be patient. As for Hockaday well I think we will have a better understanding with regard his future after Bolton.

Agree0 Disagree0

He will be gone after we lose to bradford. if lucky we might get a draw and still think that will not be good enough to save the leagues worst manager

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2014 13:05:20
I've been thinking (usually a dangerous sign) about the goings-on at Elland Road since new season began.
Let's be honest, the vast majority of fans were opposed to Hockaday from day one and can't wait to see the back of him.Even if he were successful fans would rather a "bigger name" coach/manager.
It can't have been easy for him to select a team with constant new arrivals not match fit, waiting for international clearances etc. The squad isn't complete yet with more arrivals set to come in, so how does the coach pick the strongest team? I think he has been forced to play players he didn't want to and it can't help players getting sent off.
Massimo blames himself and so do I that the squad wasn't complete by the beginning of the season. However, the one thing that hampered him was the bank account being frozen.
I'm no expert tactician, so I can't comment on Hock's tactics, but I do think we should reserve judgement on him until at least end of October. Things might get worse before they get better but they will improve one way or another.
I also am behind MC 100% and noted in his comments that he has learned to take a step backwards from his passionate nature to make decisions.
A lesson for us all I think.

Well said and I totally agree with your comments but!

This year is for stabilisation and re-building. If we were mid table give Hock time but we are bottom so can't give him long too long otherwise we will be dragged down into a relegation dogfight I'm afraid.

Well said Speedo any Leeds fans who thought we were going up this season with all the many changes at the club are clearly deluded. These things take time. Didn't agree with the Hock appointment but we have to get behind him and all the new players. We must be Leeds United MOT

United behind hock. right behind him out of the front door. tell you what why don't well all meet half way cheer him on and if still useless boot him out? didn't expect to go up but didn't expect to be laughing stock either, basic shape, passion, passion and game plan is least I expect maybe I aim to high with my miniumum expectations

Managers or Coach in this case keep their jobs on a result basis.
Hock needs wins and pretty fast or he won't even see the end of August.

OK, having not posted over the weekend, partly because I've been away and partly because I've been biting my tongue, and checking every 5 minutes to see the latest chaos unfold - here are my brief thoughts:

Firstly on Cellino: Whatever anyone thinks of him, let's remember there was no other alternative. He did stop RmC going in January. I for one believe we would be in league 1 now, probably with a 15 or 25 point deduction, if he hadn't been pulling strings in the background (some will say that might not have been a bad thing). With him in charge there will always be dramas - he's stubborn, wacky, weird, impulsive, controlling. He speaks first and thinks later, makes promises he may not keep. He's unconventional - and he ain't going to change. I think we just need to get used to it - the rollercoaster ride under him will last while ever he's there. HOWEVER - the reason I'm happy to put up with him is that he seems to be the first owner in a long, long time who is passionate about football, and wants to do everything in his power to make us successful again (those who think that should have happened after 4 matches are delusional)

DH: Weird appointment, I'd never heard of him. Strange selections, odd tactics. No idea if he has the respect of the players. Quite possibly out of his depth. HOWEVER - he is only the coach, and he's so far had a near impossible task of formulating a winning team with players coming in almost daily, many who probably don't speak English, injuries, illness, ill discipline and lack of effort from some players.

I don't think it will work out for him, though I hope it does, but I'm in the group that believes anyone in this situation should be given 10 games. Personally I think an Italian coach should be the way forward.

I am optimistic for the long term, because whatever else MC may be, I don't think he's an person - and I do think he will put his hand in his pocket in the next week, and again in January, to make sure we at least show progress this season - which is all I expect of him

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Aug 2014 14:07:05
In 7 days time the squad will be as complete as its going to get (barring loans) until January. Hockaday will then have to show some improvement by the end of September or he will be gone.

25 Aug 2014 12:32:28
Right then here we go. gunna have a bit of a rant here but as a leeds fan think i'm allowed as that's all we seem to have passion wise at minute.

1 hockaday is not the coach we need. His terrible team selections and tactics drive me insane. A 442 diamond which we played against brighton and we got battered in midfield. So he plays tje same again against a very attacking watford side full of pace. With the same players. Why didn't he play 4231 with 2very defensive midfielders. He shoild have played ajose on the left wing using his pace. Mayb poleon on the right with his pace but as a winger.

2 cellino says he can't sack hock because he hasn't completed the team. Well if the players he brought in were to match the formation that hock wants to play it would help. He brought benedicic in as an attacking midfielder but still sticks with austin tonge murphy. Give the young lad a chance. How many more players does he need before its completed.

3 do we really think the team are giving us fans 100 percent because I certainly dont. How many of last years players have improved or changed this year. Not many. byram has had a good start also warnock cook n pearce. Sharp did ok against middlesbro but nothing since. Bring in some wingers massimo and give the front 2 a chance in the 18 yard box.

4 hocks tactics are wrong to me and seems like he is getting playerd to break legs in the tackles. Hence the number of cards we r piking up. I like the passing game but with that needs intelligance and creativity something we seem to lack. Give cook amd mowatt a chance in the midfield. All the width come from our fullbacks and warnock doesn't have the pace to do that.

5 massimo bring in 3 quality championship players and help the squad out becos if not then we could be looking at next season in league 1 and ure promise of premier league football in 2 years is not looking too clever at the moment. Do wots right and pay wages for those 3 quality players and give the the mighty sleeping giant a chance.

6 running a ferrari is not cheap. The further it travels the more it costs. Remember u said it was changing from a fiat to a ferrari. Do the right thing.

So there we have it just a few issues I have with the leeds many more but i'd run out of space. Come on massimo and hock pull it together and sort it out. Otherwise step aside and give someone else a chance

Hello everyone, I have been reading all the posts on this site for a few years but this is my first post since the registration of the names.

I have read with fascination all of the posts about the team, coach and owner over the past few weeks.

My view is this, we all want Leeds to be successful and therefore we should be wanting the current coach to be successful.It doesn't matter what his background is, if he can be successful it is better and easier for us all.

If he isn't, I believe that we have an owner, who really wants and needs the club to be successful and will take appropriate action.

So the question is what is a fair period of time for the coach to prove that he can be successful. Some posters on here were against him from day one, others have turned more against him after each game. For me any manager at any time deserves a fair chance, to me that is ten league games, at least and then the Owner should make the call and I believe he will if he feels it is required.

It would not have been an easy start to the season for any manager, with weekly arrivals, so let's give him a chance and support and encourage him and the team. I don't think booing our team and our coach is going to help anybody except the opposition.

I am not panicking because I believe in Cellino, he wants the club to be successful and he will take the required action to make sure it is.

Lets focus on the next game and concentrate on doing everything we can to support the team and get through to the next round of the cup.

Its only my opinion and everyone has a right to their own.What we all want to see is the team playing good football and heading up the table fast, even if it is with the current coach! Good luck on weds night boys

Spanish
First of all welcome and a great first post.
I think Hock was on a hiding to nothing from day 1 but! If we were playing decent football and had passion and commitment in our game he would win more people round.
Sadly the commitment is disgraceful and so are the performances. How can you win a game with NO shots on target ;(
10 games will be more than enough IMO

Agree0 Disagree0

Spanish (welcome on here) and Andy….
some very fair and reasonably-made points boys. It's obvious that the fans are becoming polarised about Hockaday and are separating into 2 main camps - (1) Get rid a.sa.p…and (2) give him a bit longer. Much as I appreciate what MC has done for the club, he will need to recognise that there was only ever one 'Don" at Leeds, and MC's dictatorial 'I'm in charge of everything' mentality with a trusty lapdog doing his bidding re the team will never work. Football is a far more complex business than that.
But you've hit the nail on the head Andy. Most of us just want to see whatever 11 players get chosen play their guts out, do their absolute best and demonstrate 100% commitment to the fans. Sadly we just haven't seen this from most of them. A few should take on board Bill Shankly's famous words…"Football's not a matter of life or death….it's more important than that". And to us, the fans who pay their wages, we want to see the players operate like that. If we see some sort of turning point soon, we'll be much happier - but from all the games I've seen so far this season, I'm sorry to say I'm not holding my breath…. we've just been awful. But….MOT!

Last 10 yrs had a couple of top names in the mix as managers, graham, venables, had some big names like oleary reid mcallister all top pro's had some reasonable championship managers mcd grayson and numerous others all with a better cv than dr hock. All done nowt at the end of. How many of that lot would consider a job where they can't bring in their own players?

Or even Pulis. Curbishley. Mckay?

Cellino choosing to not fire a coach is unusual according to form.
Maybe he's changing is ways?

Well must admit I have lost faith in Hock after being supportive of him and willing to give him a chance. Not because of results and tactics they can change. The fact he has put the blame on Belusci does not go down well with me. Ok the guy was silly to get sent off but how many times do you see nine men play their hearts out and get a result. often, they don't panic like we did. Said all along Tonge, Murphy and Austin should not be playing, and would be trying to replace Pearce and Warnock. All these players proved their worth last year. If we were blooding our future team and taking losses I could put up with it it but we are not. Byram got what he wanted out of the team. Cooper should be in there, how long does it take to get Van the man match fit, Need to make changes and prove we are going forward. Cook should be starting not on the bench.Tonge and Murphy are bench warmers and Pearce.

Agree0 Disagree0

BIGE.
Who should be playing in midfield if not Tonge, Murphy and Austin? And how can you say Cooper should be playing definitely after just walking through the door! I personally don't rate Austin but who is going to play instead of the other two? don't tell me Mowatt, Cook and Dawson are the immediate answer cause they are not, not yet anyway. What is it with fans on this forum that anyone whos played for the youth team is absolute gold? Cook looks very promising but that is all he is at the moment. I don't the whole thing is getting me down at the minute. Need anotherr drink! MOT.

I understand poeple been upset about losing no one likes losing but we had a tough set of games to begin with and played teams historically that we struggle against.

I think the next 5 games in league will be more of sign of where we are Bolton not started well either Birmingham beatable bournemouth hard but beatable huddersfield again beatable
Brentford is a must and with the end of the transfer window in the middle and hopefully some quality coming i.e Adryan (fingures crossed) I think we will come good. MOT

hi all. these are some texts I woke upto today from friends and family. I thought I would pass on the texts so you could all see what fans of other clubs think of hock and leeds

oh dear what is going on at leeds? love to see them back in prem where they belong but I will not hold breath (spurs fan)

ticket to millwall. £28 pounds, train fair to game £7.20, beers before match £20 pounds, not supporting a bunch of northern monkeys who are going to get religated. priceless (millwall fan)

look on bright side mate if O's don't go up you can come see leeds with me next year, although I think we will take your place in the championship (orient fan)

marching on to league one, we love to see you lose, hock is so bad, to hire him is mad we hate you leeds, leeds, leeds (millwall fan)

whats the difference between cockaday and a mad bald, useless w@@@Ker. nothing (millwall)

whackaday still at leeds great. let's play mallet's mallet. leeds, lose, religated, w@@@kers, S''t, joke, rubbish, championship. buzz wrong leeds will not be there for much longer (millwall fan)

mate mate mate mate mate you said whatever his name was got sacked he is still there what's going on (arsenal fan)

some one get ned stark. religation's coming (in the style of game of thrones) millwall fan

MC won't fire hock funniest thing I have seen since. no wait that is the funniest thing I have seen (millwall)

so to anyone saying give hock time just think what other fans are saying and why are they saying it? no millwall fan wants hock to get sacked says it all.

Had it for 26 years and to be honest I enjoy it. some years we do well others we don't do so well. the wost was when millwall knocked us out of the playoffs (although they lost in the final so hah) even when they knocked us out there was still a sense of pride. I had 12 millwall fans in my house all cheering as all the leeds fans chanted MOT as soon as the game finsihed so I turned it up on telly and even the wall fans said how good leeds fans were and we were unlucky. I don't mind losing think it has made me a better more interesting fan than those who support spurs who do the same every year. but this year has got me very worried and kind of fed up. its the lack of passion and the fact hock is such a joke and what makes it worse is a agree with them. one millwall fan said. if hock was at our club we would burn his house down and chase him out of town. now this wrong and not saying a agree but do think he needs to know how he is not helping this great club and in my opinion some of the best fans in the world. I am always gutted I can't see leeds more. when ever I go to leeds I always feel such pride. at the moment I feel sorry for the people at the games.

The text from the Gooooners fan looks like you text him and was gloating we sacked the Hock!

I get constant abuse from Reading guys at work, even lost £40 last season cause they finished above us. As I live in Southampton I get rubbish from them all day long and now I even have the Bournemouth brigade taking the piss, However I know that it is just a matter of time and cream (or white in this case) will always rise to the top.We`re still bigger than all of them put together and the thing is they know it. Its all good fun really. can't wait to turn it around when we`re back in the CL

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds will always rise with have the support and youth system. I do like the banter but it is a bit shameful at the moment. when I might as well be playing because altough cluess I do care. and well spotted andy my neigbour is blind and a spurs fan. he knows i'm leeds fan and told me he heard on ssn sports he was gone, although blind he keeps upto date on sports and is decent honest bloke so I blindly trusted him. my celebrations where cut very short. and I am no longer speaking to my neighbour

Results so far haven't been good enough and this needs to change starting with Bradford then Bolton!

Borough, Brighton and Watford are decent teams in this division and they are tough games for any championship club.

Considering we have a new CRAZY OWNER ( who i'm warming to), an inexperinced coach (personally, juries out on how good he actually is or isn't ), goalkeeper, centre back, midfielder and 2 strikers ( spine of team ). Plus others hoping to come in and others leaving, 3 red cards ( player suspensions and injuries). Its all a bit cockadoodle day.

But I feel if you give someone a job, give them a run at it. 4 games under these circumstances isn't enough.
Just can't see what changing managers ( sorry coaches) right now is going to do to help the transition of this great club LUFC. MOT!

If jury out on how good hock is or isnt. look up his forest green record or look up forest green fans reaction to hock on youtube (forest green fans clearly know something you don't and remember they are the man city of the league money wise). they will clue you up to hock's abilities or lack of them. we didn't give hock the job so why give a fool a chance. if your boss hired me to be your boss would you give me a chance, espcially if I showed such a lack of knowedge as he has shown. as an actor I could at least blag it and not say how happy I am with 4-1 watford loss

B
He was close to the door yesterday and he's had a reprieve, I think his reprieve is so MC can find his replacement coach NOW and he will be gone IMO.

Hope so andy, just hope leeds fans let mc know hock has to go, also hope we all abuse hock big time he may not be with us long so let him get what he deserves for taking job, a job he was never up to.anyone harms my family or club I like to give it to them, I was the same with bates. understand if not good enough understadn it is hard but bates and hock are both so bad it needs to be sung from the kop end

hi, me again. I heard that hock was sacked and at a party tonight told a load of millwall fans hock was gone. they were all gutted. one millwall fan looked up that he was staying. they all cheered and chanted Hockaday. celeberate (to the tune of maddonna's holiday). This response says it all. when a coach is so bad others cheer that he has not been sacked. How much of a joke is leeds united? how pathtic has this club become that other fans cheer how bad our manager is? I am disguted Hock got job, everything hock has done since has made me so angry. He was very happy with out 4-1 defeat. Please if anyone agrees with me let it be heard. Cheering on and supporting is just buying Hock time and letting MC get away with his bad appointment. It is clearly now making us play better. Please boo and chant against the Hock force MC's hand because together and united we can force Hock out and you all know it. supporting leeds at the moment is not helping going against our team is the only way I can see us helping our club at the moment. when other fans are cheering our manager it is time we stopped cheering him and started booing and chanting him out. anyone who agrees let it be heard anyone who don't agree please give decent reason why? HOCK OUT PLEASE

I am sure he isn't the right man for the job, however look at it from his point of view, he is been given average serie B players(who he will know nothing about)he has had no pre season with them to have a good look at them and try find out about them, instead he gets them given and probably gets told to play them.2 have been sent off on their debuts and let him down, he (hock)comes out and says what all the fans are thinking-we need 4 players with championship experience-so Cellino gets him Casper sloth. I do agree his tactics appear poor, but you need to know your players to imply your tactics and he certainly hasn't had time to get to know them yet.

BW. Cheer up son. How does moaning and groaning help anyone outside of the bedroom. We have to back the team otherwise booing them they will think we the fans are a bunch of Tuesday's and it's hardly going to inspire performance. You've got to try and look for the positives. We have signed 11/ 12 new players. Would any of us believed that was going to happen at the start of the season? It takes time to sort the dynamics of the players out. Its a 2 year project etc. My advice is don't mix with Millwall fans and watch monty pythons life of Brian. Always look on the bright side of Leeds! Keep on believing! MOT.

thats all bw ever does, moan and groan

Agree0 Disagree0

All please go to me-tube (not sure if you can put websites on here. ed let me know and I will post link. if not look up Forest Green Rovers - Hockaday Abuse. a must see for any leeds fan. it will be us in ten games time. if he is not good enough for forest green fans its an inslut to suggest he is woth time at leeds. hock has no point of view you need a brain for that. he has no class or record. sadly I do mix with millwall fans who last year went to the games with one objective getting lomas sacked which they did. don't boo the team just hock make it personal make it known do you job as a fan and slag him off so much that mc can't keep him. millwall fans did it to lomas, forest green did it to our wonderful hock. please stop making me so angry and get him out. don't mean to be rude but what can forest green fans see that mighty leeds fans cant? if they didn't want him and they let hock know why do we want him and if we don't want him why don't we let him know. SACKED IN THE MORNING I sung that loud and proud 15 minutes into the leeds game against millwall, if it wasnt for jimmy saville the rest of the millwall fans would of joined in. I am hopeing all leeds fans soon also fall in and follow suit. life of brain is very funny not as funny as other fans find the hock, in the name of comedy I gutted I support leeds otherwise I would of made a comedy about him

Got a few quotes for Bristol white. the life of hock

He is not a manager he is a very naughty boy

we are from the people's front of get hock out

leeds had a manager you know. his name was sillyious-sodus

i want hock out and so does my wife

blessed are the hock's (for landing job in first place)

WEELEASE HOCKADAY

you will have to ignore him he is a . a. bit death and er.a. slow

Agree0 Disagree0

No chris I also make jokes, I make good factual points anyone who doesn't moan and grown about hock is clearly an armchair fan or knows little about football. called hock out from day one. I must know something you dont. either that or I care about the club you don't mind us being a laughinhg stock perhaps? go pay money to watch leeds live get robbed of money to not watch a team turn up then see if you moan and groan
