    That's the point Julian is not at the helm, he might be at the wheel but sadly its the Captain that gives the orders.

    Very true, Bobby Charlton, Alan Shearer, Billy Bremner, Nobby Stiles, Bobby Moore, more resent Gary Neville, Paul Merson, Thiery Henry, as you say a top footballer but not always a good manager.

    I see Ryan Edmondson has signed on loan for Aberdeen today. I'm slightly disappointed as I think he has been watched a few times from his time in Leeds Youth team by City Management and would have a been a good loan/buy for us. Also a big mate, I believe, of Paudie's. Still we are probably below the SPL at the moment....

    Probably?..Don't care what anybody says about the SPL - it is above L1 and L2 in terms of quality and standard, infastrucrure of clubs.

    Scottish Premiership is apart from the big two of Celtic and Rangers and the middling teams of Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen, populated by little clubs such as Hamilton (attendance 2,565), Livingston (3,184), St Johnstone (4,091) Ross County (4,665) And three others with gates under 6,000. The attendances are bolstered by the visits of the big two twice a season and the middling teams.

    Nah..It's not about time.

    Klop, Pepe and even Ole(Not convinced at all) all highlight a plan and a style of play from the off. Bowyer not once highlighted that and should never ever been given the job when we struggled in div 1.

    Anisworth and Parky we knew their styles.

    McCall worries me because he seems like he wants a million different systems/style but the bottom line is Rhodes. He wants people he can work with but Bowyer had to go. The mistake was we should have appointed him and the second mistake with not getting rid of him in October/November.

    Something Pep will never have to think or worry about. His success and methods in gaining this determine he will never want for offers from the worlds top teams.

    With the set up he inherited at the Etihad I could have won the bloody Premiership in 2 seasons.

    Perfect job for him would be Sporting Director.

    I'm not convinced he will cut it as manager but I would love him too and he has my backing.

    I just didn't like how he was going on about 20 different tactics and getting his Ipad to look at players. I think in modern day football Rhodes has giving in far too much responsibility.

    Problem is when McCall goes in a poor spell he struggles to get out of it. Like the mate act doesn't work then.

    He needs to get it right this season...No excuses.

    I'll try and make it easy for you to understand.
    " Look at Ole, Klopp and Pep. Took them years to mould the teams into decent sides."
    I merely pointed that that in Pep's case you were totally wrong.
    However don't let me stop you posting these insights, it serves to amuse many I'm sure in these troubled times

    So basically after that rather long diatrabe you agree that he'd have got an interview. OK, thanks.

    Depends what you class as a poor spell and the possible reason why we went tits up after winning away at Fleetwood on January 1st, as I posted he had us top 4 all season up till that period, the reason he was not given more time was because of our owners, yes I believe Stefan was conned, but you have your opinion and I disagree.
    Mates act they downed tools at the Yeovil game, hardly something mates do.

    It took him 3 years at man city. Youve said nothing about klopp nor ole either. If i had said at barca it took him years to mold them fair. But i didn't, so how am i wrong?
    Also trying to be condescending whilst not even answering my question is a childish move.

    Again, did he do it at man city?
