wil leeds survive the drop

joe coops · 01-24-2007, 08:10 PM

Leeds are in a complete state rite now,bottom of the championship wen only a few years ago they wer in the semi finals of the ultimate club compitition,and because and because my cousins r leeds fans i kind of support den so it is stressing to see there position,but the main question is wil they survive the drop

Matt the Thrasher · 01-24-2007, 08:55 PM

It's certainly looking bad for them at the moment ,I hope they don't go down though

Worksop_Owl · 01-25-2007, 10:11 AM

i think they will b fine to b honest, they have gr8 supporters

Jedi Knight · 01-25-2007, 02:02 PM

i don't think they'll stay up, which would be a great shame. The effects of the Risdale era are still being felt (although he wasn't the only to blame). can't believe they appointed Wise as manager. Surely a far more experienced manager was needed?

Worksop_Owl · 01-25-2007, 02:14 PM

one reason cud b tha players they let go. robinson, ferdinand, kewell viduka. all huge prem stars now. leeds cud have a been an unbelieveable side, btu they chose cash over talent.

Maf · 01-25-2007, 03:14 PM

On current form I would have to say yes but this division is so tight and with not much seperating the teams I believe they will survive...but only just!!

Jedi Knight · 01-25-2007, 05:04 PM

but does anyone think Wise is the right manager for them? even if they do stay up i can't see him leading them to promotion next season

Worksop_Owl · 01-25-2007, 05:33 PM

yea to be honest dennis wise is just a big name with a bit of experience. they need sum1 with prem experience to help guide them up. ne ideas who??

Bryan Robson.

joe coops · 01-25-2007, 07:55 PM

hed b great hes not only got premiership experience but hes also got experience in keeping in keeping preimership teams up

Worksop_Owl · 01-26-2007, 10:16 AM

yea gud choice paul. he was linked with wednesday when sturrock got sacked

but he has proved his talent on a number of occasions.

Jedi Knight · 01-26-2007, 04:05 PM

i really don't rate Robson as a manager. Leeds definitely need a proven, experienced manager. The thing with Wise WILL end in tears. George Graham would be a good shout and i'm sure he would get them promoted within two seasons. Plus he's managed at Elland road previously so he knows the club. just wonder if the folk there would be happy to see him back

beartons · 01-26-2007, 04:35 PM

bobby robson,maybe just 1 season ?? i know hes 120 years old but the guys a great manager,then again!

Jedi Knight · 01-26-2007, 04:55 PM

graham would defo be the man. it'd be good to see the likes of leeds< sunderland , wolves atec... back in the top flight. i think the rulers of the Premiership really don't wan the likes of Wigan etc.. there. they cant even get a full house and dont really have any history or tradition. bring back 80's top flight british football when men were men,wee boys were terrified, pies were pies and you pissed where you stood lol

He's used to working with small budgets and small squads. Didn't he also bring a lot of youth players through at Middlesborough?

Jedi Knight · 01-26-2007, 05:32 PM

but what's he ever really achieved as a gaffer? yes he was s great player but a manager? lots of managers have brought through young talent but leeds need someone to take them back into the pRem and quick. Robson's credentials just don't cut it for me. Graham on the other hand has a great track record and would galavanise Leed's existing squad and get them climbing the table

joe coops · 01-26-2007, 06:28 PM

wot about glenn hoddle kevin keegan or Graeme Souness he stil has a point to prove

Worksop_Owl · 01-26-2007, 10:10 PM

hoddle wnt b gud enuf imo, as he hasn't really had major experience off the field. Keegan and souness would do a gr8 job, but as we have mentioed b4, as soon as leeds are in the top flight, elland road will b packed to the rafters. but i am still thinking of all the talent they have wasted.

Apart from the Great Escape? Gaining promotion with 2 different clubs to the Premiership? If you take Graham's Arsenal record out of the mix what has he done? What do Leeds need most? Graham who has spent most of his managerial career at the top of the top flight or Robson who is used to getting teams to the Premiership and keeping them there? I'm not saying Graham isn't a fantastic manager but i don't think he's the best choice. Hoddle and Keegan both produce teams that look great going forward but aren't, IMHO, very good defensively. Sourness is currently involved in the attempted purchase of Wolves so i'd doubt he'd be interested. Robson would be the best choice.

joe coops · 01-28-2007, 10:34 AM

Were all thinking wot are they going to do in the premiership,well they have to survive the drop first before they can even think about the premiership.

goldenHuddlestone · 01-28-2007, 07:39 PM

I think Wise needs time. SO many teams have changed their managers this season and done no better and I put it all down to chairmen being all too ready to use the axe.

Paulb · 01-29-2007, 05:55 PM

I agree. Look at Birmingham. They kept faith with Bruce and will probably go straight back up. Compare that with a side which chops and changes managers regularly. At least he Wise was in place before the transfer window started. Not sure about Wise as a manager, but time is not a luxury he has. If they get relegated this season then i'd imagine they'd have to sell again. And we know where thats got them in previous seasons.

goldenHuddlestone · 02-06-2007, 10:23 PM

Appaently their looking to get a loan in for Hartson to replace the injured Flo
