I know what you're saying, there's a question mark in that regard. It's why it's more tempting to go for a manager even more unknown or unproven as they " could " be out of the box successful. The thing is, those managers usually need a club that they don't have to massively overachieve to do well (see Enzo) vs a Corberan who's taken a bang average Huddersfield to being robbed of a place in the Premier League and then worked with zero money at West Brom and got them in to the play offs. I like him, I think he's got something about him that blends a tactical mind with a strong degree of flexibility that gets the best out of the group of players he has. He's more versatile and he also seems to be a great man manager. If he's the pick then I'm content. He's a 7.5/10 pick.

Obligation to buy, he has very little choice. He isn't the first player to be on the cusp of permanently signing for a team who've had a change in manager. This is where his fellow team mates will be on hand to chat amongst themselves and put everyone at ease. The show goes on. He'll be in the Premier League where most players want to be and we'll no doubt pay him very well, we always do.

Moyes will probably bide his time before he returns to football. I don't think we're as unattractive a proposition as some are claiming but managers who've been employed for several years tend to take a break of at least a few months before going back in.

Enzo might let you down, but we won't do

Survival for one season is not the be all and end all. This club needs rebuilding in a manner that frees the financial burden we are in and enables us the flexibility to progress. Whether that's achievable remains to be seen but that's got to be the target over short term fire fighting to stay up.

Enzo was part of the first lot of managers linked wasn't he?

It seems logical to me that the new manager comes without the requirement of compensation but Carlos Corberan would be a sensible choice. Plenty to like about him but he also comes with a few question marks (most managers will) Johnny Heitinga ticks all the boxes of: • cheap • wasserman client • possession football • track record of developing young talent

I'm not so sure they will. You could argue it was essential we got promoted last season and therefore the appointment last summer had to be a safe one. It was anything but.

Tonight

8 goals from central midfield for a crap team isn't bad. His lack of creativity this season is something to consider though. KDH wasn't ever what I'd class as creative either prior to playing under Enzo so perhaps there's something the club think they can work with. He strikes me as the pure box to box type player we are missing though rather than a ball progressor.

Big Brussell man me

Look at the state of Farke an'all, can smell that coat he wears from here.

Enzo will be extremely impressive in his interviews I suspect, as will McKenna. Enzo has that aura though that them clowns that run Chelsea will swoon over.

It's days like today that I really wish we hadn't won the league and could instead enjoy a proper occasion to get promoted...... that's what Leeds fans have been arguing right? This is the real quiz. Hope they both somehow lose.

Hahahahahaaaaa as if

If we can afford this lad then I dread to think what we're up to. I'd love it though 😂

To be fair, he possibly did and perhaps was told we'd be OK.

Sssshhhhhhh

Those upset if Enzo goes, channel this anger towards those that allegedly didn't tell him of our impending financial problems. It's been quite clear since January that it was the beginning of the end for him one way or the other.

Nice shout. I was looking at the J League a few weeks ago and put up 3 midfielders who I think can make the step in to a top 5 league in Europe. I'd looked at Kawasaki as more defence minded midfielder and he seems to have it all.

Trefoil on that and there'd be some very ugly scenes in bedrooms in and around Leicestershire this evening.

I mean it'll be nothing to do with the money Chelsea would offer him and the almost unlimited transfer budget as they will always find a way around PSR.

Ticks a lot of boxes in that he focuses on squad strengths rather than his one singular way of playing. He's had to work in fairly dire circumstances at times and tends to fair well. I like him but there's also some question marks.

I'd rather Enzo stay than go if a) he manages to persuade Top to move Rudkin aside and b) the financial situation resolves itself to a point that he is able to bring in the required players albeit sensibly. What I do not want to see happen is us bow down to John Morris and offer Enzo an obscene new contract (he's just had a pay rise on promotion) that puts us in further financial jeopardy. The mistakes this club have made precede Maresca and aren't going away any time soon. If there's an agreement to carry on it should be with that in mind and trying to right the wrongs. There's a time and a place for Enzo getting a new contract if and when more is achieved. Let's have it right, his team fell apart and we very nearly blew a one horse race. He's bonded extremely well with this squad and got them aligned with his philosophies very quickly which wasn't guaranteed despite ability wise us having the best squad in the division. If he chooses to go or we cannot give him the players he requires for his unwavering style of play then as I've said for a long time, no hard feelings. I'd not lose any sleep over him going. Plenty to like about him, plenty to be irritated and concerned that he's not the right fit for the situation we're in but he may well adapt better.

McKenna seems set to go to Brighton, that's a big insult to Chelsea.
