TGM you are completely right, although mid table is very optimistic. People need to wake up and smell the coffee. The truth is that MC is much worse than Bates was. At least he spent some money (very occasionally). Massimo will spend nothing and is intent on cutting everything he possibly can, even to the point of appointing an ex-non league manager who would take anything that was better than his job seeker's allowance.
"I do not understand, why do you people pretend that the team will be ok when they won't be ok without adding qualify ASAP?"
I'm not sure if you've read many posts or articles on here but I think you'll find 99.9% of posters agree we need to get some quality in, you don't need to be a "Magician" to see that .
Nobody is saying the team is alright, what they are doing is Supporting the lads wearing the Shirt
Not saying that hockaday is the man I want but to put it in perspective he has been a 1st team coach in champ and prem before so will know whats expected. Just dont think he'll be able to implement it with this squad.
Cellino will hang him out to dry
Highland, many folk been raving this week about best preseason in she's, cellino and Salerno best in Europe at picking up players etc.
We've got a long season ahead and feels like we'be got a lot of work to do tools this side competitive. Did milwall keeper have any saves to make? Do we have anything on bench that can change things?
We need to give hockaday and team time but equally MC needs to stop lying about transfers being complete and sign us a quality striker and CBs.
Jonty, Best pre-season ..........not me mate, I thought it was dire as far as results went, but it was just that........pre season, I had hoped we might have pulled a few surprises but ......
Can anyone say that today's result was a shock?
This against a team that only jut stopped up last year.
It's now time for MC to show what he is made of. It's time to bring in some real quality not a bunch of cheap Italians that might come good.
It's a shambles.
There's no point in keeping this joke of a coach for one minute longer, it's embarrassing to be associated with such a low level dimwit, he has zero intelligence, zero ideas & zero brain matter.
Please for the love of god, get rid of this buffoon before we really are in the brown stuff!
Keep saying It hookaday is not what we need at the club , we need an experienced coach, someone who knows what they're doing...I can see what cellino is doing regarding players, bringing em in young for the future, but you need a coach who can bring along, & hookaday is not that man....
Harj if you trust in cellino you have to trust in his judgement of who runs the team.
People know my thoughts on cellino and hockaday but now he's here cellino has to support him with time and money OR cellino has to admit he made a mistake even though he says he won't make mistakes at Leeds.
"There's no point in keeping this joke of a coach for one minute longer, it's embarrassing to be associated with such a low level dimwit, he has zero intelligence, zero ideas & zero brain matter."
How ill-informed can you be. One thing that Hockaday is not is a dim-wit. He is actually a highly intelligent man and a very experienced coach. It's far too early to write anyone off, intelligent or not.
Get a grip Middleton.
Jonty...I've always said that cellino has scored a spectacular og in hiring hookaday....& I'll stick by what I've said....he is not good enough for us, I don't care if he's had a little bit of success being a no 2, but as a no 1 he has done rock all...
I am sick and tired of this "Give Hockaday time until X" excuse, it is obvious that we are too big for that Forrest Green Reject to handle. Axe him ASAP or we will be in deep doodoo.
I'm sorry Dubai but the guy is empty up top, there's nothing there.
He is completely clueless & every minute he stays will be completely disastrous for us.
Tgm I wouldn't have him here in first place but now he is he needs some time.
Will be interesting to see how long Cellino's ja606 disciples give him before turning on him.
Fully expect Stevie, luvr and batty to be defending Cellino's choice to the hilt
Just seen the penalty decision on Sky
A bit soft, and a bit harsh at that late stage.
As the Sky chap said wryly "He did well to earn that penalty!"
Scrappy first goal too
Not the start we wanted but we'll get our heads up and crack on. Obviously there will be some who will be filled with doom and gloom for the future, but hey where would they be without a loss to cheer..!
It will be interesting to hear the reports from folk that actually went to the game.
I listened on LUTV, both Eddie Gray and Thom Kirwin were pretty critical of the performance. "The away fans are very quiet - they've had nothing to cheer about".
Couldn't believe how bad Leeds were. Absolutely awful. I have seen some poor teams in my time, but Leeds today are up there with the worst.
Jeezus D'Jeezus, if it's not ointment don't rub it in.
That Doukara fella up front was abysmal, btw.
Cook looked decent enough when he came on, but Leeds main hope was punting it up to Smith in the second half.
The right back, Byram, was also woeful on the day. Think maybe his mind was elsewhere.
Listening to david pleat after match sounded really ominous.
He could find nothing positive about Leeds, players looked like they'd not listed with each other, no strikers who could finish no width, poor defending etc.
It was the assessment if an experienced football man who based on what he saw, thinks we are going down....after one game.
I still think we need the 2/3 quality I've hoped for since may.
The problem now is that we need them yesterday as we could be in real trouble if we get on bad roll and pick up injuries too.
If we genuinely have 15 mill budget then should not be hard to get 2/3 good players.

Predictable nonsense........
If it doesn't work I'll say so but refreshingly we now have an owner who will change things sooner rather than later.
We will progress.
