KB is the bookies fave to be the first manager in this league to get the chop. He is without doubt under the most pressure out of all the bosses in the Championship with thousands of loyal fans expecting Premiership football. Is he the man to do it though? Are you a fan of Blackie and what he is doing at Leeds or have you had enough of Mr Potato Head's inept tactics and strategies, excuses, lack of top class signings and want someone else in charge?

i used to be blackwell IN.
But he seems to have lost the plot of late, he looks under stress, maybe the expectation is too much for him, and he cant handle it anymore.
Ive always said hes a coach, not a manager.

To be honest I'm a member of BOB but I still think we should give him 10 games at least......
His tactics, subs, motivation, confidence has always come under question......
His constant use of excuses and shift of blame.....
Bums Butler.......
May havre fallen out With Batesy.....
All in all we could do a lot better although he has done well in improving the midfield, he has neglected the defence...... just like last season when we improved the strikeforce but neglected the midfield......

As much as I respect the opinions of my betters on this board I'm going to have to say BIB for me.
I admit that he looked under pressure last night, but then again what would we be like in his position. His team has just given away 2 points at the last minute of a game and a reporter is there trying to gauge his reaction. Bear in mind that Blackwell is well aware that he is the bookies favourite for the chop, plus he's probably aware that there is a growing set of supporters who want him out how cool would you be in that position.
Another thing to bear in mind is that we seem to be playing better football than last year, so should we not wait an see how the team are playing after 8 - 10 matches having had time to gel with the new boys?? If we changed manager now, then who's to say that we will play any better?
My final point would be who would we get in to replace Blackwell if he went?? Can people honestly say that someone like Ranieri (a name that has been banded about recently) would be able to do a better job for us?
Anyway - rant over now! Just wanted to get a few things off my chest.

BIB for me, (at least until 30th Sept when we've played 10 games.) If we are in the top eight by the end of September, (bearing in mind we have to play all the three relegated sides in Sept.), then he has my support until at least Christmas.
If we are in the top six at Christmas, I'll support him until at least the end of the season.
If he fulfils both the above and we go up, then he deserves a crack in the Prem with us. If we don't go up this year he should be sacked.

The guy hasnt really got a clue. God knows what he will do for transfer targets now that Warnock is fishing in bigger ponds. Still love the story about how we got Danny Webber. Warnock was so pissed off with Blackwell go after every player we were linked with that he stated publicly we were looking at Ian Moore, so of course Blackwell jumped in -- and in the meantime we signed Danny Webber  |

If so, it's a hilarious story.  I doubt Warnock has the mental capacity to pull one over Blackie like that, (after all he can't even talk without foaming at the mouth), but it's worth an exalt anyways for making me laugh. |

We lost out to you on every player that we both took an interest in. We never had any intention of signing Ian Moore, but Warnock was desperate to not lose out on Webber. |

IN
OUT
SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT
Please don't make threads like these now, I mean come on 2 games played. No more threads like this until Christmas please, I refuse to vote it's ridiculous. We could easily still finish 1st or 24th at this stage, so wait until we can actually judge him, not two games in.

We could easily still finish 1st or 24th at this stage, so wait until we can actually judge him, not two games in. another very strong rumour coming out of Bramall Lane at the time of Blakies departure was that he wasnt all at happy at Stuart McCall's elevation. Warnock said he would be retiring from management in a couple of years time and Blackie was naturally earmarked for the job. However, we only started to look like a decent side and actually play some football when McCall came to the club. Don't get me wrong, getting the manager of Leeds was a tremendous job for Blackie, but i think he knew deep down he was to be side stepped at our place to make way for McCall. |

Give him time, til xmas is probably all he'll get but he's doing his best with what he has.
He's brought this club back from the depths and rebuilt the place with practically nothing.
Only he is just a coach in a managers job, he's in over his head but you have to credit him and say he's done a great job.
And if he were to be sacked, who, realistically is KB snr going to appoint?!
