>>I fully agree with you about how the club has handled Poyet's departure.
It
is a complete change from what we've seen at any time up 'til
now...including
this management's prior actions. They can and should be commended.
And I'll be happy to reconsider my opinion of Bates if changes like that
continue to be made. I don't have any religious connection to my dislike of
Bates. I just dislike what he's done. If he does different things that are
good...I'll applaud him.<<
Fair enough - though I think good things have been happening since the end
of last season in terms of team management.
>>As for Eddie, yes I'd like to see him back. If he's up for it -- and you
rightly ask (considering he's said he isn't) -- then no one would be more
the
right man for the job.<<
But I don't think he's the right man for the job. Not now. And I think he
realises that...
>>If he isn't....who then?<<
A good, intelligent professional coach who brings something to the
management team that Wise doesn't... preferably someone who was playing
top-quality
football until quite recently.
Did someone say Gianfranco Zola?
>>Vinnie? No. His heart would never be in it. Not because he makes more
money acting -- though he does -- but because that's not what he's about.<<
Just a daft suggestion really. I'm sure Vincent has no interest in sitting
in a dugout in Swansea on a wet wednesday in November.
>>What's Batts doing?<<
Oh no. Just because a player was a fans' favourite doesn't make him coaching
material. In his boring book, Batty makes it clear he wants nowt t'do wi'
football once he retires. So I suspect he's riding round on his motorbike all
day. Good luck to him. He can afford it.
Batty's refusal to compromise on his contract at the end (refusing to go out
on loan to save us a few quid etc) means his reputation is screwed at Leeds.
