League Position

[Deleted User 3289]

I very much doubt we'll get promoted this year, I expect a top half finish, top 10 at best, but we should not sack Monk unless he leads us into a relegation battle. At the end of next season, he should be given a new contract, as long as we don't fight relegation under him. The first half performance showed the kind of promise that giving him time will allow, and all his signings so far are long term projects. With time, he'll get us promoted, but it won't take one season.

In an ideal world Si.. But as we are all finding out Mr Cellino's crystal ball seems to have a crack in it. If we don't hit the ground running, "and I have my doubts with the competition so strong now in the Championship" then things could turn ugly quickly. Hope i'm wrong but its the nature of the beast, that is Cellino...

Just listened to a very good Leeds United season preview on Radio Leeds.

General consensus appeared to be definitely top 10, with more than a few suggesting top 6 was on the cards.

Got us down to between 5-8th at the moment. Bring in Bridcutt and Lescott and I could see us challenging for automatic promotion. There aren't really any perfect teams in the league, just need consistency and goals to go up.

Ian Holloway's prediction on Sky Sports ................

Ollie's prediction: 6th

These are my dark horses for the season. Well done, Mr Cellino - you've made your best-ever signing in Garry Monk. No one was applauding louder than me when he appointed Monk. He was a huge part of what Swansea achieved - he'll build an identity and a way of playing at Leeds United. It's what the fans deserve.

Don't think we'll make top ten. Not sure about Monk, i don't think 18 months as manager in a different division working for someone who isn't MC is enough for me to go on .. also, i have a strange feeling that i've seen some kind of structure pre season before and i think i'm aware of how that turned out. I'm hoping for good season from the team as always it's just ... well y'know.

Thought I'd have a look back at a thread from earlier this year.

Quite an interesting read.

New posts welcome or any previous posters want to rethink?

Always liked Ollie.

I think he's one of football's great thinkers.
I wonder if he's got a bio out ??

Not my favourite person by a long way but some kudos has got to go to Cellino. He's let Monk get on with the job and has kept himself well out of the way.
