The LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thur 31 May)

[Ellandback1]

Good Morning Everyone

Its destiny day for Yosuke Ideguchi. The Japanese midfielder will learn later today whether he wmakes the cut.

There are 35 in the squad. Only 23 can go.





Lee Sharpe has been speaking to Lee Sobot from the YEP about Leeds hopes for promotion!

“It’s a really tough league to get out of and to give yourself the best opportunity you have got to throw some cash at it to get some good people in there,” he told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

“It’s a no-brainer to me to throw 30, 40 or maybe even 50 million pounds at it for the money that would come in return for the Premier League. It’s an absolute no-brainer.”





Jansson has been speaking o the press about Leeds' season

"Yes, I hope so," Jansson told Swedish paper Expressen about the need for change at Leeds.

"As we have seen this year, things have to happen. It was really bad both on and off the pitch. Leeds wants to go up to the Premier League, that's how the club goes out and talks, and then there are changes.

"We came in the lower half of the second part of the season and it's not good at all." Asked if the difficult end to the campaign with the Whites had altered his confidence heading into the World Cup with Sweden Jansson replied: "No, but it's been a messy season.

"Changes in the team were stricter [in the] second half of the season with more training, which is not a problem for me, but [it was] incredibly messy and a big disappointment."

It is a tough league especially :

If you have owners with little ambition.
If a club sells their best players every pre-season.
If a club builds their team on the cheap signing players not good enough to handle the pressures of the championship.
If you have no spine in a team
If a team has no pace or quality in vital areas of the team
Has no game-changers on the bench.
And most importantly having the wrong coach/manager in charge of the club.

Pontus has every right to be disappointed as he has a winning mentality, he is right in saying last season was 'messy' from day one, lets face we couldn't even make a decision on who should be captain. We may just be lucky to get one more season out of him but we'll have to shape ourselves & show some ambition because our best players won't hang around wasting their career at a club with no desire to progress.

Interesting to interpret the final sentence of his interview

Morning Leon, very interesting final sentence.

Was there a fitness problem?

I know Saiz complained (around end February) about too much training.

There were rumours coming out of ER that our squad of players lacked fitness

[The Subhuman]

Think it was fairly obvious we hit a wall very early, we were done by Christmas, even with all the chopping and changing. One of the reasons for me TC had to go. Heck had started to address that by the time the season came to an end ...As I say I think he's a much better coach than his predecessor

[Ellandback1]

Supposedly, this is going to be our new home top (leaked)

Morning Faaip, are you saying the players had burnt themselves out by Christmas?

Over training or too much ball chasing after giving it away so much?

The teams coming down from the premieship all have fat bank accounts and will retain a few premiership level players which means the teams in the championship need to invest in players to just keep up .

extra training is all well good but depends if its tactics or fitness , pointless been the fittess team in the league if all you do is run around in circles for 90mins and get nowhere

This better not be true

Whatever next

[The Subhuman]

Has to be all white at home. That would makes us Ipswich

[Ellandback1]

This better not be true

Whatever next

Deep breathes Leon.............

[danhirons]

No way that will be the home shirt. Training top or away top at best. Don’t think the guy made the Japanese World Cup squad btw

[Ellandback1]

Morning Bert, I don't think the players were able to run around for 90 mins come Jan 1st.

It was like the power had be zapped from them.

They were always second onto a loose ball, low in confidence and poor in attitude.

I dread tho think what the dressing room aura was like?

Morning Dan, no he didn't make the cut....

[1964white]

Indeed mate......I get the feeling Radz thinks we are more like Chelsea

I'm not keen when we play in different coloured kits on our away travels, to play in blue at Elland Road is just a ludicrous joke

You really need to stop this bashing of the owner, he’s had one season

[Ellandback1]

Its a difficult one Dezzy, by his own admission Radrizzani has made many errors and yes we should support him.

BUT the fact Leon goes to most of the games, both home and away I think gives him more right than lets say me that only manage to get to a few games each season.
