Very excited about this.
Can see the negatives and concerns. But there could never be a perfect solution. If there was he (or she) wouldn't be interested in Leeds in the Championship.
What this appointment says to me is that for once we haven't gone for the cheap option so we are not trying to blag promotion.
It tells me that there's a good chance we are going to be bringing in a higher calibre of more expensive players.
He has had some bad times as a manager but has had a higher than 50% win percentage at a good amount of clubs. The likes of Mccarthy has never achieved this. His record is not god like but far better than Wagner, Jokanovic, Karanka so could you imagine the criticism if we had appointed Wagner and that didn't go too bad did it.
Hopefully he can learn English swiftly and he might just might be able to pull this off.
Imagine if he does get the best out of out current players, while attracting a few more players in key positions and gets them playing an exciting brand of football. Why not!!!
And if you can't get your hopes up and cross your fingers for this then I feel sorry for you.

I've kept quiet on this for nearly a week as I just wanted to see what actually transpired.
Have been saying the only way we could get off the hamster wheel was by taking a complete change of direction and maybe a bit of a gamble - Well we've got all that and more.
Excited with a certain amount of trepidation to boot.
The thought of real FOOTBALL!!!!!
Hope to hell this works out
Maybe just Maybe we are on our way back to the top

Love the fact that when Radz went to meet him he had soent 3 weeks watching every Leeds game of last season and had copious notes on the whole squad. So I reckon many of us will be surprised at some of the players he keeps but whoever he keeps needs backing even if its Felix because he sees things us ‘experts’ dont see. So back him and watch what happens

I'm over the moon this morning. I'm excited, nervous, scared even....but we all wanted ambition and this a long way to showing it.
I just pray to god it works.
Now lets get some good players signed.

Think Orta always had a plan and Radz said ok get me a cheaper version of Biesla and hey presto we got Thomas who started great doing a similar style play but .... now we got the real deal. Sure you will ome round Jonty stop being a tart 😂

Just be careful what you write guys because the likes of Jonty will be taking screen shots just in case it all goes wrong.
I’m excited by this appointment and take my hat off to Radz and Orta and maybe even Kinnear.
But I’m also scared it will go tats up again ....because that’s what we do at Leeds isn’t it?
