Leeds United Thread - 2022/23

Standard of managers at the moment isn’t great compared to where it was 12-15 years ago. You had Pep, Klopp, Ancelloti, Mourinho, Benitez who were solid and you knew they had the capability to do a job if they were hired.

Now we have clubs going after managers who have been out of the game for 2 years like Hodgson and Fat Sam to save them from relegation. Is it clubs just not giving managers time and being too spooked about staying on the premier league gravy train, that they then go and sack the manager after a bad run of games?

To be fair, Hodgson has turned Palace around. Would they have had similar results under Paddy V; who knows? The board felt they had to act and (so far), they've been vindicated. Is he the long term answer? No, of course he isn't.
 
At least we used last night as a Leeds training session. 5 across the back and 5 in front of them. BFS will no doubt be the same.
 
Was Allardyce on a wind up comparing himself to Pep and Klopp? It's a mantra he's always trotted out, that if he had a foreign sounding name he'd be regarded more highly. He did a decent job at Bolton but not much elsewhere. I'm not sure putting eleven men behind the ball and nicking the odd win on a set piece or breakaway makes him some sort of football genius.
