It's the modern way that responsibility is split and that the job of manager no
longer really exists. Coaches coach and decide tactics, football directors look
for players to match the requirements, even José works that way.
I think implicit in Radz comments is a criticism of Orta, as it was he who
saved TCs job after Newport.
As regards replacements, you can only get them if they are willing to come,
where is a 30 goal a season striker, or top level premiership defender who is
available and willing to come to Leeds?
This is real life, not a Football Manager game.

I agree. It also looked like Radz was covering for Orta. The articles gave no
indication that Phil Hay asked the key questions: How can you expect a
manager/"head coach" to achieve optimal results with players he hasn't had a
say in choosing? And when you allowed the spine of last season's team to walk
out of the door during the summer, do you think Orta replaced them with players
who are as good or better? If not, why did you insist that the minimum
requirement this season was to do better than last season?
Cheers!

All should have been unsaid. It sounded as if he was doing a knife job and
covering his arse.
TC went with grace , why embarrass him? To make Radz look good. It added
nothing. There was no point, it grated

Radz seems to be getting stick for his 'mistake' comments re TC
I think it is a good interview, he actually says "anything that does not work
is a mistake, so yes I did make a mistake'
To me that is Radz admitting that HE (Radz) made a mistake in appointing an
unknown, unproven, foreign manager from a third rate footballing country -
something we all agreed on at that time (albeit we all hoped that it would work
out)
He is very open with the fact that he wanted to sack TC a few weeks ago and
openly complains about his use of the squad and the debacle at Newport
I also like his comments that we were very slow off the mark in a number of
games and said this was lack of confidence instilled by the manager
It is rare for a chairman to be so forthright after a sacking so fair play to
Radz on this one.
As for Hecky, Hecks, Heckers or Bottom / Arse which will be his nicknames if he
does not deliver his interview is also quite good but we have heard it all
before 'big club, great fans, wonderful facilities and history, ought to be in
the Prem etc'
His footballing comments about 'high pressure, attacking with and without the
ball, committed, aggressive etc' are all good to hear but stuff the last X
managers have also told us. As for all of them the proof is in the pudding as
they say. Rosler was the 'best' for me - promising 'heavy metal football' and
then after one game claiming the players were tired, giving them a ready made
excuse.
I wish him all the best and think it is a decent appointment and one that
might, just might, work (but I have thought that before and been wrong) - he
has a tough start and is handicapped with a number of players injured and some
more still suspended. Let's hope he can do enough in a couple of days to get us
up and going for the sheff Utd game
