44 days to go ........

Given our situation last year I think they’ve raised they need to spend to stay in the EPL so have planned to add to the squad big time this year and would expect them to be looking at a bill of c£100m for that.

if Raphinia and Philips both go and we get £100m+ I’d think the board WILL spend at least half of that, on top of what they’ve clearly earmarked.

£150m .

Or I might be wrong 🤪

Penshawdave….. think you should set up a sweepstake like you did for relegation points towards the end of last season!! How about it??

Out of all the things to hope for, yours is for Jesse to give our chanpionship / league 1 standard kids a shot 🤨

How about, football close to how it was in our first season in there, or how about a cup run to Wembley? How about beating Man Utd home and away or being Liverpool at Anfield .....

Exactly Mont…it’s the Leeds way!

We are all probably judging JM on what we saw last season which is a bit unfair given they weren't his players. With a decent transfer market and working his system with the players we may be better than you'd think. Let's hope so

I'm very skeptical of him but he's our manager so I'll back him
Can't go by last year for sure. Not only because he didn't have his players but couldn't implement his style because of our situation.
We don't want to go back to manager of the month like it was pre bielsa.
So unless he's an absolute disaster I hope he gets at least the full year.

This, then again, 13th in Feb and out of both cups could be a bit sleepy though.

Not sure about others Shaun but I don't want to be Liverpool at Anfield!..

I'm hoping Jesse Marsch will figure out how to make us harder to beat, so that we're not shipping so many goals all the time. Don't get me wrong, like all of us on here I loved Bielsaball, and what a treat those three years were. But we disintegrated last season and it's very important we show much more resistance in midfield and at the back.

So, 13th and hard to beat would do me for a season, give us a solid base on which to build.

We were 11th at the end of February in our first season back, it was nice to relax…would I take 13th right now in February…definitely! Although Shaun, I’d like to see us respecting the cups more and having a decent run.
