Leicesterpool Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 (edited) So Leeds appoint the failed Watford boss Garcia. Can't imagine many Leeds fans will be happy about this, you could say there were better targets out there available. Otherwise its "Leeds are falling apart again" I think Gary Rowett would have been an interesting fit for Leeds, may never have managed in the top flight, but pretty other than his time at Stoke. He's always build a solid squad, that are hard to beat with limited means. Edited 21 February 2023 by Leicesterpool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the bloke was able to last 18 months which is incredible! Mind you bit different managing Watford to Leeds I know and he will need to get results straight away.

I think that's usually the pattern at Watford start off well but then it seems to derail very quickly before you know it there out the door. Pearson was doing great job with Shakey got them in touching distance of survival, then they fired him. Which probably relegated them in the end, as I'm convinced if he stayed they wouldn't have gone down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but our last 2 games were Man City and Arsenal so would have probably lost those anyway. Think something certainly went on the dressing room after our vital defeat to West Ham but suspect it won't come out in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they took hammering at home to Man City which didn't help things as I recall there goal difference before then was similar to Villa's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - mind you 4-0 wasn’t too bad compared to the 6-0 x 2 ,8-0,5-1 and 5-0 defeats ! Didn’t help Villa beat Arsenal the same day . The lockdown for COVID affected us as the club weren’t prepared to come back and really wanted the season to end . Pearson himself was unwell with the virus I think.

fox_up_north Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 If Poch is genuinely waiting for Spurs then fair play to him. He's not just trying to jump on the merry go round and he probably has everything ready to go for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't keep them up he's probably not going to be there next season by mutual preference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 18 hours ago, Always Next Year said: If that same tackle had been on a Man U player they would have been rolling around on the ground as if they had lost a leg, and 5-6 other players would be all over the ref wanting a red card. We on the other hand just get up from tackles and get on with the game. We need to wise up and start making the most of tackles instead of letting teams push us around, every one of the so called big 6 are at it game after game after game and referees like Attwell are doing nothing about it. Yep, I've said this for years, it's one of our biggest downfalls and it's worth a few points a season alone, which would have been enough to get us top 4 a few years back and we'd almost be safe already this season. Combine this with a decent keeper and we'd be about 10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 from the BBC today: both Sheikh Jassim and Ineos have received communication from the Raine Group asking them to stop making what they regard as vitriolic public statements including terms such as returning United to its "glory years", which they viewed as implied criticism of the Glazers. if that gives you a warm feeling ... it's probably all the piss boiling in Manchester ...

Lambert09 Posted 21 February 2023 Share Posted 21 February 2023 Its amazing that Haaland is going to break all these records while man city look at their worst for 5 years. How many goals do we think haaland would score as our striker ? Maybe a similar level to at dortmund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
