More like Kevin Blackwells.

I have often thought that the similarities are there to be seen. As long as we win though does it matter?

Entertainment value is top notch and occasionally will be close to a heart attack but we are Leeds and always do it the hard way.


Maybe in a sarcastic gesture that's what Alex Ferguson ( pfft pstt splutter ) was hinting at by putting Berbatov in his back four against us !!! *Wry Smile ~~ "




ah but putting the Berb there makes sense to me because 80% of the time he kicks the ball in the box its pretty much gonna be defensive for the opposite team!

I think he is more in the Steve Staunton school of defensive coaching

on the Berbatov thing, which people keep mentioning, though I doubt SAF was worried we'd score three if we played until Christmas, it was probably expediency not lack of respect - Berbatov plays CB in training a lot, I have read somewhere.

He's nothing like keegan.

Alot of games we dont even attack that much, he's just bad defenders which he signed

maybe we should sign George Graham as defensive coach

Kevin Keegan as Attacking Coach

I'm struggling to think of a midfield coach ??

Assistant Manager ??
Director Of Football ??
CEO ??
COO ??

etc etc etc ...... lolol

Does anyone else wonder how we score so many goals,

Midfield gets overrun half the time

Paul Hart should be dragged back to the club to sort some stuff out. he's the real architect of Wilko's youth academy plan and made our kids the best around. He's a great coach and is now out of work, and Simon will know him as well.

Our football is terrible. I don't understand why they play the long ball. We have a team full of good technical attacking players, but constantly hoof it upfield and give away possession.

If Sg had a tenth of what Keegan had to spend i would like to think he would do a half decent job.

Doc, Paul Hart always has seem to me, to be an intelligent chap, which would most likely prevent him having any dealings with Bates & co. A bit like the vast majority of the available players and their agents during the past close season..

This little snippet from the BBC really possed me off.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15006682.stm

When we signed kasper every leeds fan said how brilliant it was to get him. Most of us last season were worried about losing him and Max, and then it happened. Since selling Kasper many of us have said we got a good deal and a decent replacement. But the big thing is that Kasper was playing in front of the 2nd worse defence in the league.

Sven's no mug and when he says we got a good buy, it means bates didn't cash in enough ....

Roz I dont think 'managerial' or 'style' comes into it with SG. Worried about his management and he deffo has no style when being intervied

I think Simon Grayson struggles with man-management; not an easy skill to acquire.

Simon Grayson's style couldn't be further from Kevin Keegan's.

Keegan would have taken us up comfortably.

Grayson is actually the most negative manager I have ever known. He's just such a poor manager that he can't build a decent defence to suit his style.

All our problems are caused by the conflict between Grayson's negative tactics and players who like to attack all the time, coupled with poor defenders.

The Preston game is the perfect example of how Grayson is scared of open games and how it costs us.

We often have to come from behind in games and never kill teams off.

Paul Hart has been a manager in his own right. Why would he want to work under a manager as bad as Grayson?

I've said it many times,

Grayson thinks tactics is a small packet of mints.

Doc - just to clarify, RoDz is not me (Roz) though even I get confused when I see his name sometimes!
