Warnock does my head in... I really hope we don't get him. I'd have happily kept Grayson and seen old Bates out on his ear. The club's going nowhere with him at the helm.

Exactly Hank. Given he's had the rug pulled from under him so many times by Bates, I think Grayson's done a pretty good job. At least his heart is in the right place. Not something you can say for Bates who is an asset stripper. Some of the decisions that have been made in the last couple of years have defied belief.Quote:

Grayson, nice guy, job possibly too big for him. And made many times worse by Bates. Think there are better managers around though, Freeman seems to be doing more with even less resources at Palace. Much and all as I dislike Warnock, there is something about him that may suit Leeds, he has the experience, he has the siege mentality, he'd have those players walking through brick walls to get onto the pitch at ER. It might not be pretty but it would be effective, and frankly I think Leeds fans appreciate players who roll up the sleeves and get stuck in, the 70s team was like Dulux...beautiful...but tough. Even the last title winning team was based aroundtackling and high energy, with players like Batty and Strachan buzzing around, Chapman putting his head in where other players wouldn't put their boots, and then the elegance of McAllister once the ball was won.
I think he would know that this a job bigger than any other he's had and he will never get a chance like it again, he could establish Leeds as a top flight club again...or he could strangle Ken Bates along the way...
This is why Neil Warnock is called 'The Marmite man of English Football' you either love him or you hate him :D
Ok you've sold him to me.:thumbup:Quote:

I'm just thoroughly disgusted with the way Grayson has been treated. I've not been this angry since Eddie Gray was sacked in 1985.
I'm pretty ambivalent about Warnock! I do think he'd be good for Leeds at the moment though for all the reasons Connor posted before. The fans might be a bit miffed, but beggars and all that.....Quote:

Not sure that was the right emotion to use Alf!
I thought that was the shocked one? I might have to review my previous posts if not :oQuote:

Chelski 3 - Man Utd 0 so far! Cracking goal by Mata :cool:
3-2 The Empire strikes back :D
3-3 FT Very enjoyable game :thumbup:
Thanks Man U, you did us Newcastle fans a favour. But I'm afraid there was some great diving to earn those soft penaltys!
First penalty nailed on.Quote:

Penalty that should have been in first half.
Free Kick and Red Card that should have been in first half when Welbeck was brought down outside box and would have had a shooting opportunity if not felled.
I think the ref had a bit of a mare but perhaps the second penalty balanced up some of the first half shockers.
You're a nailed on rag Witton - come on admit it:closed:Quote:

Saw part of the game on internet streaming, thought welbeck penalty shout was rubbish, he fell over the player more than the player brought him down. Thought it was good call by the ref.
I'm a Burnley fan Danbert. As we've only had 1 season in the Prem I tend to follow the teams that are pleasing on the eye, although I do admire efficiency.Quote:

I never really got Ferguson at first and I was never a Man Utd fan, but when he brought these youngsters through, Giggs, Sharp, Beckham, Scholes, Neville Bros, and showed that useless Jock Hansen what for, I thought he did a remarkable job and actually put a team together that was fantastic to watch.
So I have a great admiration for what he has done and the sides he has produced.
I used to feel similar about Wenger. The invincibles was a great team. But he's lost his way since then and seems to have somewhat lost the plot.
So I suppose to answer your question, Man U are currently the side in the Prem that I look forward to watching before anyone else. They are box office and todays match underlines that.
Most dangerous Liverpool striker of the first half as he gets past Brad Friedel. Andy Carroll taking notes :D
Kop chanting "a cat, a cat, a cat, a cat, a cat, a cat, a cat" !

Capello has resigned.... very surprised.. not sure Harry will say no.. think hell leave Spurs...
I'd love it if Harry left Spurs!! Couldn't care less about England though...Quote:

You're probably right about Spurs, but you never know! We've had a manager who couldn't speak English, we might as well have one who can't read and write...Quote:

Given completely free reign, personally I'd love to put Ferguson in charge, that would get people plaing properly as I think he is the best current manager (not Wenger, who to me is still God but a close second to AF)
At least he'd have that common bond with the players!Quote:

From what I've seen of Harry Redknapp's teams, they seem to play good football, and he seems to understand the game and how to change it, control it, etc. I don't think Kevin Keegan ever really had that.Quote:

Imagine - he picks the squad. Does he include players like Dawson, Lennon, Defoe .... Spurs have quite a few players that I would suggest are fringy squad players at the moment.
If he picks them he'll be accused of favouritism (and on that matter does he make Parker captain?)
If he doesn't pick them, he will then have a group of sulky players when he goes back to Spurs for the 2012/13 Prem season.
If he gets the job, I think it will have to be on a full time basis with a contract up to the 2014 World Cup.
I'm not convinced that he is the right man either. I'd actually like to see someone like Moyes get it.
Jesus WP watching England was boring enough under Capello god knows what they'd be like if Gollum was in charge...Quote:

Not English but English speaking, I've always rated Martin O'Neill, doubt he'll ever get the chance to manage England but I'd love to see him at Leeds and have done for years.
