‘The noises coming out’: Journalist shares what he’s hearing from the ‘hiring committee’ at Leeds now - The Boot Room 24/6/23

Leeds United’s search for a new manager feels as though it
may never end.
A month on from the end of the season, Leeds still don’t
have a new gaffer in charge, and while interviews have now taken place, the
search is still ongoing.
Luckily, it sounds as though Leeds are confident that they
will get a good manager in though.
Indeed, speaking on the Inside Elland Road Podcast, Joe
Donnohue has shared what he’s heard from the hiring committee at Leeds, and
according to the Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, those within Leeds are very
happy with the level of candidates they’ve spoken to.
“Yeah, the noises coming out from the hiring committee is
that they are pleased with the level of the candidates that they’ve spoken to
which is interesting depending on whether they get their preferred candidate
remains to be seen. There may be some on that list who are more attainable than
others, while they may meet with them, there could be an offer that comes up
elsewhere that is more lucrative than Leeds in the Championship,” Donnohue
said.
In all honesty, considering the candidates Leeds have
interviewed so far, it’s going to be tough to get this one wrong.
Daniel Farke and Scott Parker have apparently been spoken
to, and with four Championship promotions between them, you’d back them to do a
good job with Leeds next season.
Meanwhile, Patrick Vieira is said to be another contender,
and he did a very handy job with Crystal Palace before being sacked, so he may
well have the pedigree to get Leeds promoted too.
One thing is for sure, Leeds aren’t facing the prospect of
hiring another Dave Hockaday.
