The next manager should be a possession based manager. Possession is the best form of defence, and I'm tired of seeing the team unable to keep the ball with kick and rush tactics.
I'd go for Corberan, as he's a progressive manager, knows the club and knows the league. Although, I'd also really like Kieran McKenna from Ipswich. He's a terrific young manager.

I thought it was a very honest appraisal by Allardyce.
Pretty much saying what most of the supporters have thought for a while.
Not enough quality in that squad and those with a bit of savvy Gnonto, Wober, Summerville to name 3 appear to have lost their desire.
At least we have Tyler Roberts, Dan James and Diego Llorente coming back to the fold!!

Agree, we need to chose wisely but big Sam did do a good job with West Ham when they went down, brought them straight back up. However I’m not sure Leeds fans want that type of football, I think possession based is the way to go.

The planning for the championship starts now. Radrizanni needs to confirm the sale in the next week or so absolute latest, this will give everyone a boost and then some certainty, there’s too much speculation at present and it’s not good. That will also help with the replacement Manager if the future looks bright. Need to study how Burnley managed it and replicate. A good DOF needs to come in within days.

As for the squad the owners need to be bold, we can’t lose all our better players, there’s no way we can replace 7 or 8 players, it’s probably max 4 or 5 tops.

We’ve plenty that will rip up the championship (Summerville Gnonto Sinesterra etc) My biggest concern is who will fire the goals in consistently in the championship, Bamford certainly can’t with his injury problems. We need to keep Rodrigo, Fulham kept Mitrovic when they went down and he fired them back up. Midfield and defence need work even in the championship, particularly at left and right back and we’ll probably lose Koch.

I think Koch Harrison Adams Messlier will go, those should raise more than enough money between them. Though I have seen stories that Adams may stay. Mckennie obviously goes back to Juve. If Coventry don’t go up do we bring Goykares in ? Need to be bold, we will have the money.

This club needs a change at the top - Kinnear is the boss and he should fall on his sword. The club will be sold within two weeks as the current owner is buying Sampdoria and has wanted out of Leeds for some time.

One thing is certain if you want your side relegated employ Sam Allardyce - one point in three games!! - how do these guys keep getting jobs?

No doubt with Kinnear in charge - Leeds will give the job to Allardyce

you think allerdyce and kinnear sent leeds down?

stick to rugby david, you talk sense on that.making yourself look silly with comments like that.

only last week you blamed orta for taking leeds down. make your mind up.
kinnear is chief exec. he makes sure the non football side is run correctly. he has done that.
allerdyce had 4 games. he is not the man to blame.

The idea of changing the coach with 4 games to go was bonkers - no doubt Kinnear had an input into that - without that connection Allardyce is not at Leeds?

Allardyce has made zero impact and the idea that he has by dropping the likes of Messlier doesn't stack up. He still picked Ayling who was where yesterday? I am not blaming him but it was a poor decision to engage him. You need goals - you have a young striker who has perform in a top European league, both your strikers are injured, what is to lose? Allardyce is a dinasour.

Yes Orta must take much of the blame but fans wanting Bielsa out - the team have won 11 games since he left. Marsch was another poor appointment but what were the options?

bielsa made an absolute pigs ear in the end. tiny squad, favourites who wernt good enough and running the legs off them. I'd have sacked him before he went.
marsch was a bad choice. ortas doing.
who would you gave selected instead of ayling? Sam was left with a squad where some weren't good enough and a lot knew they were going. summerville, gnonto have made it clear with their performances they don't want to be here.
it needs a good clear out and a lot of fresh faces. the club is on a good financial footing, every game next year is a sell out. the choice of manager is absolutely crucial.

Big Sam should not be blamed, he came when the ship was virtually sank, Gracias Leeds would have conceded 8 against Man City and would have lost to Newcastle, he has done as well as he could have in a short period.

This all boils down to not spending the money in the summer after finishing ninth. We needed to invest heavily to ensue we survived, we didnt, Jesse came in and we invested poorly.

Bielsa would have learned and moved on - at least the players could keep going for 90 minutes - these lads can even do 45 minutes. How many injuries do Leeds have now? Small squad was always Orta's view backed up bringing the youngsters on. Not being in Europe and one gane a week do you really need a squad of 25 plus the juniors.

Ayling is 100% committed but he is out of his depth in today's PL - he is too slow both physically and mentally, he cannot read the game and the opposition know it. To replace him would depend on the formation - a back three Kristensen plays on the right - not great but better.

Corberan would be a good fit for me. Knows the club, knows the league. I agree clear out and line in sand needed. Some faith in the youngsters

bielsa didn't kearn in three years....he's a one trick pony. wherever he goes it's brilliant but only over 2 seasons. he never changes or adapts
