Harrison to Rangers, now that rumour I like and hope is true. Always good to have a buddy to take your trash out for you.

Vid ?????.
2.) 27 Jun 2025 18:54:56
Vid, Is there anyone in Rangers current squad that we might be looking at as a swap deal?
A bit of 49er's internal business?!
3.) 28 Jun 2025 05:30:58
Raskin. Can't see this though as Rangers unlikely to cover Harrison's £90k per week wages.
4.) 28 Jun 2025 12:59:59
Cheers Alf,
Certainly is a problem.
One that Jack would probably fall over and try and claim he'd been pole axed!
MOT.

49ers cross subsidising his wages alf?

Being reprted on news now that Hockaday and Lewis have been sacked
05 Jun 2014 19:00:08
Well, if all the reports on NN are to be believed its a 3 horse race on saturday, an I don't mean the Derby. Personally I think Gary Mac would make a great coach, managing was too great a task for him I think, but that's just me ;)
1.) 05 Jun 2014 19:45:09
I think out the 3 rumoured names (Hughton, Hockaday and McAllister) I would go with McAllister although I also think Paul Hart would be a good shout.
2.) Do people really rate gary mac? do I miss something? brought some great players to the club as scout but tactics were off, results were poor and motivation was none exsistant. what am I missing? all I remember is poor league results and our darkest moment with the club losing in first round of fa cup to non league opposition. scout yes anything else no thanks 100's of better coaches out there
3.) Wouldn't want any of the 4 mentioned above. My choice would be a proven young manager ready to step up to a bigger club. Step forward Eddie Howe.
4.) Agree totally
{Ed003's Note - this was in reply to Bermondsey btw.}
5.) We played sexy football under him according to many FL pundits. i'd love to have him back. We were without Beckford that dark dark day remember. He'd scored about 5 that day
6.) All the names mentioned don't seem good enough to me. Gary Mac no, hockaday definitely not, the Eddie Howe shout would be good though. But prob not going to be one of the 3 being seen. If I had to choose of the 3 though it would be Chris houghton! Roll on sat!
7.) 05 Jun 2014 21:00:40
Howe is a manager not a coach and the only place he is proven is at Bournemouth. He didn't set the world light at Burnley.
{Ed003's Note - He was shocking there but to be fair that team that went up was mainly his signings.}
8.) Eddie Howe or Chris Hughton
9.) 05 Jun 2014 21:19:47
So the fact that virtually same squad that Howe had got promoted should tell you everything you need to know about Howes coaching ability!
10.) Didnt realise Macca was a scout for Leeds? Just thought he was a good coach who needed a top defensive coach alonside him to get us up. And how can people say he can't motivate players is beyond me. what are they in the dressing room as well! MOT.
11.) Corkwhite, I was not in the dressing room but I did see what happened on the pitch which was in my opinion, lack of passion lack of disire, lack of skill and lack of basic ideas (how many times did we conceed the same goal under Gary Mac? every time ball was in the air in our box we conceded which would suggest bad coach as well?) loved him as a player and seems a nice bloke but coach? manager? not for me think I could name 100 people I would rather get the job
12.) OK Bermondsey I hear what you saying. Bad goals conceded from coners etc were very poor under Macca for a time but I also remember under Wilko a similar situation when the opposition got a corner a goal was on its way in one particular season. Also think about it. under Bates he literally had no cash to spend. Think Huntingdon as number 1 CB! . It just amazes me some folk seem convinced others are well suited for the job with little or no reason! Howe. done very liitle. Clarke. even less. Hughton or Mackay I could take. But give me an ex Leeds player who knows his stuff. and I believe Macca does. I will take him all day him long. Gary Mc is in the running I believe and is probably the best man for the job as the BOSS wants a British coach and he is, I believe, a good coach. MOT.
13.) To be fair, with Cellino in charge, all 3 will be coach at some point in the season
14.) You make a good point about wilko Corky. I rated wilko as one of the best in the world at that time but I do remember that season (Sadly). I also agree some are bounding about managers with little to back it up. If I was MC (id be very happy) but I would go for Kenny Jacket or Malky Macky. Both know the league both good with money and good coaches and get the best out of the squad. But then I am not a bonkers Itailan who wants to be in charge of signings, which raises the point if his signings do badly will he sack himself as I am sure he didn't sack many managers in Italy so it is not like he passes the blame is it?

Superb. Away from home in the smoke, chisel them points out lads, take it all season long. Three unbeaten now and long may it last.
1.) 14 Dec 2025 18:40:04
Ground ground ground, fabulous to see a fight being shown, you can still achieve "" success "" without big stars . Delighted for them there seems to now be a bond between them
Liked Callys post whistle interaction with Wily
Well done Boys ?.
2.) 14 Dec 2025 18:43:31
Defo deserved something from that game, I just felt they were there for the taking tonite so a little disappointed not to get the 3pts.
3.) 14 Dec 2025 19:08:15
4/ 4 for DCL, the golden Boot awaits ???.
4.) 14 Dec 2025 20:17:59
We were definitely the better side. how was was that not a penalty on DCL?
5.) 14 Dec 2025 20:32:42
DCL scores winning goal to confirm England's World Cup dream comes true! £138m transfer to Barcelona now on the cards.
OK, ok, but Vid started it! ??.
14 Dec 2025 11:08:24
Well here's hoping for a decent result today peeps, think I will have a very speculative acca on 5 away wins this afternoon, but I rarely get one result right lol. UTWDTP.
1.) 14 Dec 2025 14:49:42
If the scores stay as they are we will be starting this game in the bottom 3 so a win is crucial.
2.) 14 Dec 2025 15:26:13
By my reckoning Ox it would require both Florists and Wet Sham to win by more than a 2 goal margin to put us in the bottom 3 and neither of them have done that - yet. At 15:25 Florists are at 2:0 and Wet Sham at 2:2 and we're still 16th.

Nice kitten but I zoomed in on its face and it has a "I've seen some real sh*t stare on it" ?
Cats are great.
09 Dec 2025 15:30:27
Well now the dust has settled on that remarkable week, still find it strange how DF suddenly saw the light and started doing everything he flatly refused to do throughout his tenure! But now he seems to be so much more proactive and dropped his blinkers and clearly has the support of the players I am very happy for him to steer the good ship LUFC through this season, it really feels like getting a new manager And the bounce And keeping everything settled with no upheaval.
Long may it last UTWDTP to a thrilling season ?.
1.) 09 Dec 2025 16:29:44
I think anyone would be happy to stick with DF provided he is getting results. 4 pts from those last 3 games is excellent considering the opposition and we were unlucky not to get 5.
2.) 09 Dec 2025 16:52:10
Aye Alf, but it's not simply the results, it's the manner of the performances, we seem a team reborn. Watching the press, recycling the long balls, getting bodies in the oppo box, commitment and positivity, that second goal against Chelsea and the second against Pool were just a joy to watch!
3.) 09 Dec 2025 16:54:24
If you don’t mind me saying Vid that comes across as slightly disingenuous as up to the Chelsea game you were fist thumping that he be sacked immediately.
How long will this new found love for Daniel Farke last for? This Sunday when we potentially get beaten by Brentford?
I’ll continue with these posts until someone stops covering up their weak excuses of why, like a biblical miracle he has suddenly changed and now he doesn’t need to be sacked, all of a sudden!
I’m not sorry for saying, I find it all very fickle.
4.) 09 Dec 2025 17:25:15
Lol, thought I may get a response OP. But if you recall I absolutely supported DF and the 49ers from the get go if you recall many of my posts. But, like many, I became very frustrated with DFs approach and decision making, even until half time against Citeh. Fair play to him tho, he must have listened/ learned from something. Even you have to agree he has done a complete u turn and what he has done is what many were screaming for. Now I totally agree I became disenchanted with his stubborn refusal to try something different, i even suggested a while ago when our wingers were injured he should go with wing backs.
If you think that is disingenuous and fickle that is your right. But ask yourself, if he had continued on the path he was on would last week have happened? Its all about opinion dude and that can change as has mine a couple of times. I am more interested in our beloved club and how they perform than commenting on others emotions. But if it pleases you to point score, carry on bruv ?.
5.) 09 Dec 2025 17:28:46
I think if we were offered 3 points from man. city away and Chelsea and Liverpool at home, we would have bitten off the hand. So to get 4 points, and very unlucky not to get 5 points, albeit ourselves getting a late equaliser, is a great return. But along with the points, it’s the manner in which we have played in those games that’s the thing. Full of passion and inspirational performances all over the pitch. We have to continue in the same vein, especially away from home.
Let’s see how it goes away at Brentford. Now opti Vid wasn’t the only one shouting for Dan to get his pansy potters, like I posted a few days ago, we’re all fickle, not just Leeds United fans. You only have to look at Liverpool just now, and the amount of fans asking for slot to get the boot. I would say that only you apart haven’t advocated that Dan gets sacked, but remember if it was up to you, meslier would still be our goalkeeper.
6.) 09 Dec 2025 17:41:44
My approach as well. Why, if he's a good and therefore worthy manager, did he persist with a system that didn't produce results?
7.) 09 Dec 2025 18:13:31
Vid, I expect Farke to put out a team irrespective of formation to beat the other team, every time. Nothing has changed since the beginning of this season as far as I’m concerned.
I expect our coach from time to time to change formation, tactics and substitutions throughout this season as he sees fit, he is the one in the hot seat is he not?
He is definitely not listening to fans, content creators, pundits or media as to how he should coach his team.
That is without doubt conclusive.
8.) 09 Dec 2025 18:56:32
C&J, fickle fans is an expression wildly used in football and it most definitely is not exclusive to Leeds Utd.
My point is about getting behind the coach and his team the best we can as fans, this was never going to be a walk in the park season and I do believe there are some Leeds United fans who feel we are entitled to do a lot better than what is realistic in this season back in the Premiership.
Creating disturbances even before the season starts about sacking your coach is only going to create a negative atmosphere within the club, what kind of environment do think that creates before a ball is even kicked this season.
I’ll give a fickle Leeds United fan something to complain about, administration, 17 years of debt and despair, 15 points deducted, League 1, GFH, Papa £1 Smurf, Hockaday etc etc etc.
These are the issues with our club that enraged me, not a coach in Daniel Farke who succeeded in winning the title in the Championship and leading us back into the Premiership that we have missed for so long.
Lets get it right, complain when something is clearly not right instead of spitting out the dummy and crying like a baby when we don’t win a game in this extremely highly competitive league with sadly players who lack quality but are willing to give their maximum for their club, coach and fans.
9.) 09 Dec 2025 19:26:35
Sorry OP think you are totally missing the point. Let's absolutely get this right. Leeds fans are completely besotted with Leeds, that is being Leeds, the brotherhood, the belonging, the desire, the pride, total love. Now the "disturbance" about sacking DF before he had even won the Champo was totally media driven, nothing to do with us fans. Complaining is a perfect right when you believe the custodians of our devotion are not acting in its best interest.
This theme runs through life. Lashing out at people who don't share your opinion is barely wrong, everyone is entitled to a perspective and as far as I know, all any of us want is the best for Leeds United regardless of how we express it. Nothing is apersonal attack on you or your beliefs, just an expression of theirs. You can say what you want but you need to respect that applies to others too.
10.) 09 Dec 2025 19:53:01
Oops lol, really wrong, not barely! Bloody predictive text.
11.) 09 Dec 2025 20:37:11
Where did the non respect or acceptance of others opinions by me come into it Vid?
There’s a lot of posters on here that don’t like or disagree with my posts because I don’t conform to what most of you seem to agree with each other most of the time.
I’m sorry that it irks you that I’m not constantly agreeing with yours and others posts
I’m happy you blokes keep posting this stuff otherwise I’d have nothing to contribute other than agreeing with your habitual and constant moaning of our club.
Please don’t lecture me about the brotherhood of Leeds fans, I have many Leeds fans brothers from far and wide and non of them criticize our club as much as some of you blokes do on here.
Absolute rubbish Vid that the sack Farke was only media driven in the summer, I could name a least ten posters on here who didn’t want him to be our coach in the Premiership. There were also a number of Leeds Utd content creators that also wanted a change amongst many others.
The one thing I know that will happen 100% is the next game we lose, your good self and others will be bashing the Farke out drum once again.
It’s so predictable and even comical.
12.) 09 Dec 2025 21:26:47
Blimey OP, lot of angst there mate, don't take things so personally and read things that aren't there. I didn't lecture you, it was my view of being a Leeds fan, that's why this site is so good. We can come on here, vent, commiserate, discuss, disagree, celebrate, but all is shared which is the magic.
I hardly think accusing people of spitting dummies and crying like babies is very respectful. C&J was just doing what we all do and a very legitimate post it was too.
13.) 09 Dec 2025 22:03:05
I know you are trying to be decent Vid and I like you share no malice to anyone on here, how can I if I don’t know who they are?
Come on Vid, when was saying spitting out the dummy so disrespectful on a football banter forum.
Thats a little weak if you don’t mind me saying so.
14.) 09 Dec 2025 23:02:12
Agree vid and Alf and all the others above except opti. So very boring. Same old tosh from him all the time.
15.) 09 Dec 2025 23:12:01
Wanting DF sack? no more then the Leeds board are thinking about doing just that who we’re considering changing him at the start of this season perhaps, someone should a write at letter to the board about being disingenuous or fickle just can’t have an opinion on this site without getting your head bit off . ??♂️.
16.) 10 Dec 2025 06:06:02
Whiteman what’s the point of having a football forum if you don’t counter others opinions sometimes, I’ve done nothing wrong, I’ve only made my opinion against yours.
That story about the 49er’s considering to sack Farke before the season started was only picked up by the media because there were rumblings of discontent from sections of fans who didn’t trust Farke to be good enough in the the Premiership.
Parag stated much later that he would make statements about the club which were started by non based rumours.
By the way Whiteman can you tell me why you appear to have a problem with me countering your opinion?
Same old tosh Aus, yes that sounds about right with all your posts for the last season and a half, with nearly every post consistently containing a anti Farke message or Farke out.
So fickle though because that will kick off again the next game we lose.
17.) 10 Dec 2025 06:52:16
I do believe the rumour of farkes succesor being looked for pre season was from two inside sources opti. Not the press. Fact check maybe.
18.) 10 Dec 2025 07:53:10
It’s something that nobody will ever know Aus, these things never come out in the open with a fact label attached to it.
So in the end we are both only guessing.
19.) 10 Dec 2025 07:58:51
Aus maybe those two inside sources or more likely sauces were a bottle of Mayonnaise and HP in the canteen ?.
20.) 10 Dec 2025 08:14:11
I believe the story first surfaced in the Daily Fail at the end of April Aus, as to where they got the info from who knows but it was reported to have been leaked by a 49ers insider but I could be wrong ??.
21.) 10 Dec 2025 09:24:47
Pompous and utterly boring little man.
No offense.
22.) 10 Dec 2025 10:42:17
Im 6ft 5" so not so little Cork and thanks for your kind words.
Have a lovely day.
23.) 10 Dec 2025 11:09:59
Vid, , for my final post on this very long thread, if point scoring on this forum was my aim, I don’t think i would be very successful would I?, judging by many negative reactions to my posts.
Just making my opinions on here like everyone else, Bruv.
24.) 10 Dec 2025 17:17:55
Absolutely zero need for that Corkey. Out of order.
25.) 10 Dec 2025 17:32:14
What makes you think I was talking about you OP ?
Enjoy your day mate.
26.) 10 Dec 2025 17:47:35
OP your opinion is not the problem you are as everyone on here are entitled to post your opinions but calling out posts as fickle or disingenuous is disrespectful just because it’s doesn’t fit into your mind set or your opinion, if you disagree just say that and leave the other garbage in you head. I have no wish to add petrol to your fire. And to be clear we all have options like then or not.
27.) 10 Dec 2025 19:27:50
You are right Brighty, not my finest moment.
Whiteman summed it up perfectly.
I’ll say no more apart from calling a fellow poster, whose posts used to great, a boring little man was totally out of order.
ALAW.
06 Dec 2025 15:53:18
It's a big game and a big big ask, but, if Nmecha is injured, maybe just maybe chuck Harry on with DCL. Smiffy started young, smashed a goal away to Lazio in our European adventure. When is a good time? Would be worth the risk I think.
03 Dec 2025 15:05:59
Problem with Jan signings is they rarely work Alf, Gio being a good example. Thing is most decent players are not available, the ones that are, well, they are usually surplus for a reason. Would like the Russian striker tho, can't remember his name, but he suggested he would be open to a move in the winter.
03 Sep 2025 12:43:10
If that is correct LAD then that is an utterly ludicrous and playground attitude to take. Either back the guy or get someone you do trust because doing what they are is only going to impact the very soul of Leeds, its supporters the club and the city. Also if they think that by doing this they are going to engineer a situation whereby they can say told you so and justify sacking DF they are lower than a slugs nadger.
01 Sep 2025 14:38:59
If true they are taking an enormous gamble. We go down their investment and future plans will be in shreds. Would have been far less risky to just chuck a load of cash about and overspend.
31 Aug 2025 17:24:07
Buendia murmurings still abound, viable Alf?
24 Jul 2025 15:38:25
Absoflogginlutely Alf, never a doubt, it's going to be a ride an a half. Leeds 1000/ 1 for the title, just sayin, you know ???.
14 Dec 2025 19:08:15
4/ 4 for DCL, the golden Boot awaits ???.
11 Dec 2025 16:33:40
Plus of course mate, changing your opinion on DCL? Blimey, is that not a bit fickle dude? ??? Sorry, couldn't resist!
11 Dec 2025 16:07:28
Well OP if is a very big word! Now if DCL stays fit and scores in every game left as he has in the last 3 he will probably win the golden boot. If. I find that it is less than pointless fretting over anything that is out if your control and I guess that is a big part of supporters frustrations, we can only watch on as things unfold before us.
If DF is as good a manager as you believe then he is paid to deal with and solve these problems when they arrive. He will need help from the board in January to bolster so he can. As for Sunday, I would have said that the results against Chelsea and Pool were generous if predicted, but they happened. The big plus for me was the manner of those performances.
10 Dec 2025 08:14:11
