If it really is true I expect Leeds to go down now. The grass isn't always greener.
For a relegation battle at this stage of the season? I hope he knows his stuff on defending..

To balance that he did do a great job at Salzburg
I've said many times before, VAR for subjective decisions is a waste of time and does more harm than good. We're not getting many more correct decisions than without VAR but we're getting all the pain and added controversy. I wish they'd just waited for this new automated offside system, used that and left football as it is.
Had the ref made that call today, as he did, they'd have been a few complaints but most people would have accepted that he's human and simply didn't have a good view of the incident. Nobody is going to accept that a qualified official, sitting watching multiple slow motion replays cannot see or give that penalty though.

Seems that letter Newcastle wrote to the PL has worked hah. We seem to be getting correct decisions on the pitch now after 18months of daylight robbery.
Eddie Howe effect
We used to have players turning up in sandals and beach shorts taking the mick. Now they are limping to away games to try and cheer the team on.

It is normal for footballers to watch the team from the stands when they are injured.
I've never really experienced a break up with someone but this is what it must feel like
They were going down with him, his tactics are up there with the worst around. The man marking is just a terrible idea especially against the better sides. Against Liverpool Mane was dropping into midfield and a Leeds CB goes with him, no one is covering that space left and it just left huge areas for other players to exploit. It was the same against Spurs.
All this Leeds are great because their players run about a lot, the tactics are exciting, well yes, they run about like headless chickens and its fun for the other team scoring 4s and 6s .He just never changed things, they are shipping goals for fun, more goals conceded in their last 9 games then Burnley have let in all season.
They should stay up with anyone who doesn't play daft football.
From my experience, yeah.
Leeds are a championship team with a few good PL players. He's done wonders really.

Yet we don't cut other teams and managers the same slack when they come up with non existent wages in comparison. But that said I understand the bond the fans had with him and many seemed to have been happy to go down with him, so perhaps the board will regret that decision. Although I'm sure the board have more idea that the players have had enough of him if the fans haven't, which is why he's gone.
