Would you rather be shouted at in front of your team-mates or be quietly told how to improve? I know which I prefer, but it seems there is still room for both the nice, arm-round-the-shoulder approach and the nasty ‘hairdryer’ treatment in the Premier League.

So Hell Hadji’s agent managed to con the new Leeds board by claiming that two Premiership clubs were interested in signing the Phlegm Machine. The man who wasn’t good enough for a long term contract with relegated Doncaster has somehow engineered an 18 month contract with the once mighty Leeds United. Some might think it strange that the oil rich former giants of English football are reduced to signing a Doncaster reject, but…

Regarding Downes departure: ‘I can confirm he has left. By mutual consent. ‘At the moment that’s all I’m prepared to say on the matter because I don’t think I need to go any farther publicly. That’s done between me and Wally. ‘He’s sorting out his terms and agreements with the club. That isn’t sorted yet. It was amicable between the pair of us and we move on.’ Yes that sounds very amicable…

Will it be the Clarke effect? WBA have lost their last 3 games on the bounce so are on a slippery slope downwards and will probably target us as their revival. We are away, depleted with injuries and our form is a bit hit and miss at the moment so I wouldn’t be surprised if …

It may only be the Capital One Fan Cup, but should Leeds dispose of a weary Chelsea team, knackered after their exploits in the World Club Championship, they have a dream opportunity of making it through to Wembley.

So GFH have “every expectation” of completing the deal to buy Leeds despite the delayed payment. That’s an interesting choice of words.

And to a spokesman on behalf of Buckingham Palace who said, “Their Royal Highnesses had every…
