Be interesting to see where they squeeze all the new EFL screened games in under new deal. Spokesman said no Saturday 3pm slot, going to be some stupid KOs from Thursday to Monday I reckon to get five games in and not clash with Prem unless Sky thinking they won’t get a new Prem deal.

Mandatory change under UCL rules. could have upset the scousers and made them swap the 1730 with Sunday but couldn’t take the whining Anyway just seen this on new deal with Sky However, more matches will be available to stream, with six games across the Championship, League One and League Two set to begin at 12:30 each Saturday.

Speaking of scousers, great piece on Dixie Dean in today’s Telegraph. I didn’t know that he died at Goodison, at the final whistle of the only Liverpool Derby he attended as a fan.

Wanderlust Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Leeds losing 2 nil but that's not unusual for any team at City but there are signs that Leeds are having a go, and their defensive shape looks a lot better. They've done OK so far. Situation being helped by Haaland having an off day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 A resilient performance from Leeds overall - City were actually time wasting for the last 6 minutes which is something you don't often see. Leeds didn't really learn to adapt their defensive shape after the first goal and were punished plus they were not much of a goal threat but you could see Fat Sam's influence on the team and I imagine that performance will give them some confidence going into the remaining fixtures.

Tombwfc Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I thought he sounded arsed, pretty despondent actually. There's definitely a shift in his tone to 'well, what could I do? These lads are shit' now the writing is on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombwfc Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 If they had their heads on straight, they would. But I can't see it. The fans are out for the owner/CEOs blood, he won't anger them further by appointing Sam. It'll be some bloke from Europe who was once the assistant manager of a guy who had a coffee with Marcelo Bielsa once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 22, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2023 Loads of their fans with BSA masks on the other day. I reckon a propoetion would be happy for him to get the job- even if it was essentially just to get them up. Whether he would want it long term though is a different question.

gonzo Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 From what I gather the Leeds fans are pretty supportive of Sam. He's inherited an unfit bunch of fannies that cant take simple instruction. They are totally reliant on a weak as piss ponce up front that cant hit a cows arse with his violin. The recruitment from Jesse Marsch was absolutely scandalous. Spent fortunes on utter crap.

Moderators Zico Posted May 23, 2023 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2023 Leeds fans won't want another prolonged spell in the championship Big Sam is proven at that level They have some decent players for that level Stick with him and they'll be challenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeversLeftPeg Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 4 games work, failed to keep them up, leaves with an extra £500k in his bank. Stuff of dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the bulk of the playing squad loved him. After the fckg shambles they'd been before I guess any form of organising would be welcomed. Still, 1 point from 12 ! It's a vacancy made for Frank Lampard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
