Dom matteo has confirmed on yorkshire radio that he has not been approached for the Leeds united job but would jump at the opputunity and also love to work for the club in any role

Dom played for a number of clubs but yet he came back to us when he finished playing. Think outside the box GFH, we need desire and a love of Leeds United.

Dom matteo never wanted to leave in the first place he said him self he was desperate to stay and said he would take a wage cut but they still refused and said we can't afford you

It seems to me that there is probably some confusion in the press, because Dominic Matteo (or "D. Matteo") is among the favourites for the Leeds job, although he is effectively a journalist with no managerial experience. The ex-Chelsea Di Matteo has short odds at the moment, but I'd be surprised if he would consider coming to Leeds, unless the club is nearer another sale than we think, and he has been promised money - but hey! I'm a Leeds supporter, and the news couldn't be that good, could it?

GFH have being holding talks with Bolton over their manager Dougie Freedman, they have being watching his management skills in the last few games as they continue their push for the playoffs.

And what makes you think that GFH know anything about football

And why would a team pushing for promotion let their manager go?

Absolute rubbish. Why would Dougie leave Bolton.

you say why would he leave bolton, he left palace and they were in the top 6 and bolton were in the bottom half.
leeds are a bigger club than bolton. I think dougie would be the best manager for leeds he's done very well and he's still young

Bolton are in a lot of debt which is now held by their owner.
If they don't get to the Premier League, this season, you can bet there won't be very much cash to spend and a lot of players leaving.

roberto di matteo to be confirmed as next lufc manager

Ask yourself this question. Why would you want to manage LUFC and there lies your answer to this rumour. ain't going to happen!

When and why would he come to leeds he only won the champions league under a year ago

It's true the odds on di Matteo have shortened a lot over the past few days but I honestly think that it's because a load of coulees people are hearing strong rumours of Dom Matteo and getting confussed and betting on di Matteo. So although the odds come down it doesn't mean it's any more likely.

I would love to see it but not going to happen. Too big of a step down I'm afraid. He will go to another premiership club such as Everton or even go abroad to the spanish league or Bundesliga.

He would want to come to lufc because its a massive club and he is out of work this is to the above post

Yes he won the champions league but why then has he to been snapped up by a premiership club before now?

In response to the person who said that Di Matteo would come to LUFC because we are a massive club: Saying we are a massive club is nothing more than a morale booster and I'm afraid we need to get real.

Of course it a matter of perception, but what makes a massive club? While we have a wide fan base and great fans, our attendances are rapidly declining. Due to our catchment area and being the only club in the city we can consider ourselves a sleeping giant at best. Also our stadium is in most parts outdated and we haven't won a major title for over two decades, one of which we have been plying our trade outside the top division. We are currently owned by a group of businessmen who have no capital to invest and know nothing about football and show no desire to engage with the fans to make this club the life and blood of the city.

Im sorry to be so negative but for us to become the massive club we once were and have the potential to be then drastic changes are needed, not just in terms of a new manager but the whole club needs restructuring.

No mistake with odds shortening, now the favourite at 5/2. That many people wouldn't make the mistake between Di Matteo and Dom

Leeds will not appoint a new manager till end of season, no one wants this job at the moment its career suicide, imagine someone comes in for last 5 games we get relegated I think his position would become untenable, who ever takes it will wait to see what division were in first.

I think a manager coming in now will be able to have a proper look at his team and decide who he wants to keep or let go though. So its a tough one.

Leeds will get a new manager before the end of the season we will not get relegated we need one more win to be sure to stay up three home games and two away I think we will beat Wednesday and Birminham and loose to Watford and Brighton. In summer get rid of the crap and with backing get decent players in, this is the stumbling block with the muppets that are in charge of us we all thought it was bad with Bates but these lot have took it to a different level

Bang on, at last someone talking sence

Do you really think the crap will go in the summer when the biggest pile of crap that has ever played for us has been given another year #joke

I can see leeds getting sum 1 like matteo as they won't have to pay him a lot of money. we need to get sum 1 b4 end of season who can decide wich rubbish to get rid ov.

We won't be relegated

Has anyone heard the story about Phil Parkinson coming to us. wouldn't be my choice but would be interesting to know if its vaguely true. Hope not.
