Leeds boss ?

[United Aren't Back.]

We were in Whitby this week and overheard a conversation about Whitby Whites being one of the biggest fan groups.
The went to Robin Hood's Bay and saw Leeds United scarves hanging out of a bedroom window of a house....

I have seen a Blades number plate on a car in Whitby.

Leeds is a very different city to ours, notwithstanding the one club scenario, Leeds is Yorkshire’s major commercial centre & population conurbation, by nature Leeds’ fosters a more ambitious & commercially confident atmosphere - one only has to compare the 2 respective city centres & the quality of recent investments to recognise this.

Having worked in both cities the difference in attitudes & general confidence of their respective citizens is also noticeable & I believe this also permeates down to the approaches adopted by the 3 professional football clubs.

That sounds about right and I'm sure you're right about the commercial vibrant feel of Leeds, but I think it lacks something culturally that Sheffield seems to have, but perhaps that's just me. It also has an international Cricket venue and a successful Rugby League scene. I remember a comment about the business interest/involvement in the Sheffield FA Cup semi final which suggested that it couldn't fully get behind either club at the risk of upsetting half the city. Leeds won't have that problem and it's a richer city than Sheffield

This has happened many times before and it’s how football journalism works. Each year there is “a miracle” and the press run with it until another story emerges. I can think of 5 of the top of my head and the next season they just became another premier league club because no one is interested and that’s how the media works.

Allardyce performing “miracles” at Bolton
Eddie Howe performing “miracles” at Bournemouth in their first season
Steve McClaren being the special one at Boro
Sean Dyche with Burnley
Pulis at Stoke who then became known as cloggers once the fun wore off
Chris Wilder last season, but if it wasn’t us it would have been Bruce at Newcastle or Smith at Villa

They want so hard for Bielsa to be that story because he’s this enigma that produces good content. An ethereal being that’s been blessed upon Leeds. At present he’s got them promoted and won one game in the premier league but he’s been painted into the Messiah role that Chris was last year.

Us, on the other hand, if we lose to Villa tomorrow they’ll be explaining how Wilder can’t keep achieving miracles and we’re destined for relegation.

Its the way it works. It’s why we’re better off focussing on our own thoughts towards the team rather than looking for adoration elsewhere. We’re never going to achieve it. Not properly, until we do something else magnificent and unexpected,

[Bennyand the Blades]

Well when they play us he's going to have to turn that bucket over .....

So how come Sheffield W*******y haven't relocated to Leeds?

 

[metalblade]

I've lived and worked in both too.
Leeds has left Sheffield very much behind in many areas in recent years.

It sure has we are not at the stage where every house has burglar bars on doors and windows ...........

 

[Deaneandagana]

So how come Sheffield W*******y haven't relocated to Leeds?

I’m sure they’ve considered it - current Chairman is very commercially minded!

Given they didn’t have Sheffield in their name until 1929, I guess they were considering all options.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Scored 7 conceded 7.........Is this doing well?
When Bielsa has run em into the ground.....They will start to unravel.

 

[JJBlade]

I like Bielsa
He'll recognise good Spanish, Portuguese, Central and South American players and bring them in.

We recognise average British talent, get priced out of it because they want more than fourpence ha'penny a week and end up with British cloggers and hoofers instead

Ooops my bad. And I got disconnected... Watching them getting fucking twatted week in week out. Sack Duckworth, looks like he's brewing for a shit every time I've seen him. Weirdo....

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Leeds is an anagram of second season syndrome...maybe

 

[LudlamBlade]

Thats my old student house

 

[Barry Butlin]

I too have lived and worked in Leeds & Sheffield ,Retail and Business wise it is 10 times the City Sheffield is. However it is no hotbed of Football, the majority of people I knew were Rugby League fans & it always seemed to me the vast majority of Leeds United fans came from outside the City !!

 

[Harry's Game]

Numerous unconfirmed sources say he’s been sacked.

Big Sam until the end of the season I would assume

 

[Gavlar]

Coming from us?!!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Coming from us?!!

I know...karma eh?

 

[Gavlar]

I know...karma eh?

You've lost me?

 

[bromtom]

Coming from us?!!

I wish we'd only been as shit as Leeds are now last season.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I can't stand |Leeds but that would be harsh.

 

[Champagneblade]

Is the one with the huge marijuana plant growing out the roof?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

You've lost me?

Karma for them...many Leeds fans kept bringing up 2nd season syndrome about us.

 

[Tom Bott]

I wish we'd only been as shit as Leeds are now last season.

Conceded 35 goals in the last 10 games.........

 

[bromtom]

Conceded 35 goals in the last 10 games.

And they've got the same points we had after 38 games.

I'd have taken a few hammerings tbh if it meant we had 12 more points after 26 games and a chance of staying up, even an outside one.

 

[Gavlar]

Karma for them...many Leeds fans kept bringing up 2nd season syndrome about us.

Guess it depends on whether they stay up or we go up.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Conceded 35 goals in the last 10 games.........

In fairness, today, it was a cracking game v Spurs. Could have been about 7-4 to Spurs had all the chances gone in.
