Whilst I get the dislike for Redknapp, I don't get why people are trying to rewrite history and say that he was not a success with us. We played some of the best football for a long time with him, and he deserves his credit. It may have been a flash in a pan, but that flash was with us. Yes he could have done better but no manager has a perfect season.
He will always be remembered as the nearly man. So many what ifs in his last season and his actions lost him the job. That was his chance at cementing his place but instead he chose England. It didn't work out, but the history still shows that he got us 2 top 4 finishes. He deserves credit for that.
Back on topic, I can't see McLaren being sacked. I can see Rodgers being sacked and cannot wait. £300m Rodgers and no title..........

I can see McLaren going very soon. They were ineffective last night and look worse than Sunderland. Could Sam could go back there?

surprisingly, he's 20/1 to get the boot, rodgers is the fave to go next and jose is 6/1

Heard a rumour Rodgers is gone

likewise, although I don't think he's that good that he'll instantly get this squad playing at another level

If he's got any sense he will run a mile from that shower. Can't see anyone succeeding there until they overhaul their squad. I mean who purchases Younes Kaboul when he hadn't played competitively for over 6 months and was already pretty brick. Which scouting videos did they watch?

Massimo Cellino has confirmed Steve Evans as Leeds' new head coach and defended his controversial axing of Uwe Rosler.
Cellino sacked Rosler on Monday and has appointed Evans on a 12-month rolling deal to become his sixth manager at Elland Road since he took over in April 2014.
Evans took charge of training today at Thorp Arch and Cellino claims he likes the former Rotherham boss' fiery personality.
"I used to hate him because he is a fighter," said the Leeds owner and chairman. "I didn't like playing against him because he gives his teams his personality.
"He's a tough coach and I want that character in our team. He manages with passion and our team has not been playing with passion.
"I wanted them to play heavy rock football, but instead it was like Country music."
Rosler lasted just 12 games and the final straw was Saturday's defeat at home to Brighton, which meant the German never won a match at Elland Road.
Cellino was also annoyed by Rosler's pre-match claims that Leeds could not win promotion this season.
"Why did he say that?" said Cellino. "The fans want to dream, so why did he say that?
"To say that after 11 or 12 games is wrong. That is not right for the fans.
"I watched the game on Saturday and in the second half, we were just trying not to lose. We were not trying to win. That is not good enough.
"I did my best to help Uwe, but in the end, I could not see even a patch of blue in the sky, just cloud, cloud and cloud."
Cellino also appealed to the unhappy Leeds fans to understand why he had sacked his fifth coach in just 18 months.
"Everything I do is to try and make Leeds better," he said. "It hurts me deeply to fire a coach and I didn't sleep last night after speaking to Uwe yesterday.
"But what else should I do if I cannot see things getting better?
"It's easy to blame the coach and it is not just his fault. I was the one who brought him here, so I have to take responsibility also.
"It was my decision to bring him and so I have to take responsibility if things are not working."
