Since when did Jeremy Kyle become Leeds manager?

Let's say it like it is. Scotty Pawka is a shite manager. He's had two jobs where he's been spoilt rotten and hasn't been able to really cut the mustard. The fact they huffed and puffed to secure promotion when they should have walked it like Fulham the quality of squad they had last season, proves Fulham were 100% right to give the cockerney smart Alec his marching orders. I dare say, old Russy would almost have taken Bournemouth up last season. I did say almost.

You don’t have to like or even respect the bloke but he’s got two relegated teams promoted back to the Premier League, and that’s more than most managers will achieve in a lifetime, let alone a couple of years in to their managerial careers. Credit where it’s due.

With a huge amount of resources, and crucially able to keep the majority of theor squad intact. True, others have failed with huge resources, but keep your squad together after relegation from the Prem, such is the gap between both divisions you've got one foot back there already. Add to that the way he was able to sign any in form players from the Championship he wanted Lowe, Moore, Laird just throw the bleeding cheque book at it. Now you could say that these signings weren't all that but they were the players he wanted, so if they're not that great, that's on him.

With regards to taking Fulham up the previous season - one word - Mitro.

Neither promotion is hardly what Coops done at Forest, what Brenda did here, or even what Warnock did up the road with a rag bag squad.

The Premier League will throw up more mismatches.
I fancy Man City to hit 10 soon.

5 up already with 25 minutes left .
Haaland is a machine
