Doesn't bode well does it Bianco, kind of makes you think they don't have much of an idea.

Senior players are Coops, Ayling and Dallas, we've got serious problems if they are having second thoughts.

I think you may be right.

But I don't need an affiliate web site to be reliably informed that as yet Leeds have failed to recruit a new manger.

Dithering or Due Diligence?

Could be due dithering

OP - it’s breathtaking incompetence and it’s alive and kicking at Elland Road.

I've been as damning as the next man when it comes to our previous owners, particularly the incompetent fools that are Radz and Co, but in this case I think we should give the 49ers a bit of slack - at least for a bit longer – as they're clearly undergoing managerial negotiations. Perhaps Farke's sat on the fence? Or Scotty's stalling for a better offer. Maybe Corberan needs time to get out of his current contract. There's a whole load of things it could be. So sit tight guys, I've got a good feeling about this...

Patrick Viera's odds have shortened today.

Although relegation was painful I feel a lot more positive than 2004.

I've seen something saying he is being interviewed along with parker and Fark.

I honestly arnt bothered. I'd much rather we conduct interviews rather just offering it to someone cause we think he might be good

I agree. Better to go through a rigorous process than grab some bloke from Forest Green or Barnsley who you've never met.

Raul now being mentioned as another managerial candidate.... at this rate we'll arrive back at Big Sam!

Problem is, we've got such a busy window to negotiate. Easily have 8 players that could all leave, that's without replacements and improvements. Need to get a move on

One thing's for certain, we're not taking the Championship by storm, or walking it in the
first few weeks of the season.

We'll still be sorting everything out. It's the
Leeds United way after all.

Bournemouth now owned by Bill Foley. Bloke backs
up his intent with actions. Bought the Las Vegas Golden
Knights in 2017 and promised the fans a Stanley Cup.
Six years later they won it. Expansion team. Crazy.

I read his intentions for Bournemouth. He said almost
everything Radrizzani said. Difference, this bloke will
actually do it. And it's an impressive list of things he's
wanting to achieve. Guarantee he'll do it and quickly.

I can see him also redesigning the club badge. Which
might seem trivial to some. But, it helps solidify a club's
direction and marketing presence. Another thing AR
fcked up when with us.

I really hope the 49ers are of the same ilk. Just more
apt to taking their time getting there. Otherwise, we
may have ended up with the wrong Americans.

We should change our badge from a shield to a dartboard. Only fitting

You have a reason for this, Rev?
As a rule, we do not bounce back after relegation. It took around 7 years in the 80's and 16 years this time around. What makes you think it will be different this time?
We have no coach, no DOF and the crew can't get off the boat fast enough. The only thread of hope I have is that Bielsa turned us around in six weeks, but I'm not seeing any names in the candidate list so far who suggest they can pull off a similar miracle.

This all sounds like desperation to me, these outcomes should have been planned for from March/April when we all knew we were in the battle to stay up. The club executives didn't plan and ended up with a last ditch attempt at survival with big Sam. This lack of planning has left to this situation we find ourselves in. We're not going to bounce back next season and any talk of such is delusional. New owners will need time and money to sort this mess out. Our competitors, as usual, have the jump on us.

1) I believe we’ll have a coach within a week
2) We have an acting DoF
3) The sooner the crew gets off the boat the better. The bunch of players that called themselves our team last season were a disgrace and there’s only a handful I’d want to see stay.
We’ll be fine.

What do we know:
49ers been planning to buy leeds outright for some time.
We’re told there are plans for any scenario (stay up or relegation)
Last time we wanted a manager no one would touch us with a barge pole.

Season finished some weeks ago, we’ve seen zero evidence of these plans in place, unless Hammond was part of these plans.

I’d like them to get right person in, I’d also like it to happen before transfer activity so that we get his choice of players in.

From Phil Hay.

Video interviews were conducted last week.
Face to face interviews are this week.
Decision by the end of the week.

Vieira, Parker and Farke have been interviewed.

Marsch - only just seen your question.

Primarily as nearly 20 years ago we had financial implosion of the highest order and the subsequent slippery slope seemed inevitable.

The rest I'll concur with Lorra's points.

Oh, alright then 😉

Surely Farke is a better fit for the job in hand than Vieira?
