If we are going after Slot then it would probably be a longer deal. Cornering offered a shorter one because he's s bit more of a risk.

For him to have been offered 18 months contract, means he must of had permission to speak to him ?

Did this happen

Its reported by Yorkshire post so I assume so

I really can't believe they offered it to Corberan. Not without getting turned down by the coaches reportedly on their list.

Well, it makes sense to any candidate to question the length of the contract, given there may be an ownership transfer at the end of this season.

Is it significant that they don't seem to be chasing anyone with PL experience?

The position of head coach at ER is a tricky one at this time - very uncertain prospects. Whoever does it has to be up for taking on a BIG challenge - keeping us up with a squad of players, many of whom have only just arrived, assembled under Marsch. That's a very tricky proposition, no?

And, they need to hit the ground running...

Well, Corberan has signed with WBA untill 2027

I can't see the length of contract being the issue in why you wouldn't want to prove your abilities in the Premier league. Why would you not jump at the opportunity?

If you are successful in the first 4 months and keep Leeds up then you would then be able to renegotiate a better deal... No I don't buy that.

I think CC has probably discovered he was 3rd or 4th choice and cut his losses and used the situation to his advantage by sealing an improved contract at WBA.

Social media doesn't half do my head in sometimes with it's BS and so called sources saying this or that is about to happen and of course nothing of that rumoured to about to happen ever materialises.

To me it feels like this Reyo Vallecano boss is a more likely outcome but hopefully this saga doesn't drag on too long and distract the boys tonight in putting in a decent performance.

Agree. I think it’s total BS. Fair play to Carlos to use us to get a pay rise and better his contract. Wish him the best

its true...several reports saying the exact same thing...He wanted longer so he said no...

Sorry but dont believe thats true. Feel we were never looking at CC

You're entitled to your opinions...

All conjecture- none of us know!

This is what Phil Hay wrote in the Athletic.

Leeds' concern with Corberan was his lack of experience managing in a division as high-level as the Premier League. There was also no appetite on the part of West Brom to lose him and tonight, they nipped talk about him in the bud by extending his contract at the Hawthorns. No meaningful contact had occured prior to that deal being agreed.

^^^ No prior meaningful contact with Leeds...

dont want a guy that might be okay, we just did that.
an experienced manager at a decent level.
i have slot in my head now and ill probably be disappointed.

Speaking to Adam yesterday, said that Corberan's agent said if he was offered job, would take it.

My understanding is Corberan wasnt best liked by the players.

White Smoke - Pope - Rome - Roma?

Radz Italian link not a clue to where the manager is coming from

Maybe there had been communication behind the scenes...anyway...we haven't got a manager yet..I just pray its not another who convinces the board via a powerpoint presentation

I think its the club that should be doing a powerpoint presentation, that way they might get someone worth the job!..

Most people being looked at'll know something about Leeds, but they'll also know things ain't as rosey as they might want!..

lol

Radz doesn't half put his foot in it by jinxing things with the white smoke remark which looks like back firing now unless we get an announcement by this time tomorrow I reckon Radz preferred choice has actually gone up in smoke.

maybe Radz signed the Pope.

'White smoke' makes me think of the one guy who could possibly rival Bielsa for having a large cult following.
