When was the last time we recruited more than 5/10?

As a bare minimum our new recruits should be fit for purpose before any deals are put on the table ,and a fitness assessment would help weeding these players out ,that end up being millstones around our neck . You’d have thought that if this had taken place with the likes of Proctor and others we would have dodged some very expensive bullets . Although that recruitment exercise doesn’t extend to players who pass that particular test but have no heart and desire to play for us . It really is a minefield getting the right bodies at the right price to perform to an acceptable level on a consistent basis ,because as we’ve seen only too well and to our detriment ,it only takes a couple of duds amongst your big earner and the whole pack of cards tumble . Looking forwards to seeing who gets the job if not already working away behind the scenes.

If he can work with Powell I’d throw the chequebook at Andy Kelly and get him to come home to where it all started! Get him to help rebuild the team and club he got promoted alongside the bloke he inspired to become a Trinity fan and now owner.

There’s no one more respected in the game, as a player, a coach a youth proponent and as a manager.
He’d bring instant respect to the club

Yes he’s been away far too long and would be an ideal candidate you’d think for this role as there won’t be many around with his years of expertise in our game

I agree on Andy Kelly. Great choice.

Isn't Ted in the background somewhere at the moment within the Ellis team though.

What are you suggestion Ted's role should be?

I'm more thinking about Ted's roll in dumping Andy Kelly.

But in answer to the question I would suggest just a fan on the terraces.

Firmly in the background is where he needs to be .
Don’t let him anywhere near the deeds to Belle Vue!

Have we already got the recruitment and salary cap manager in place. I hope so if these are the sort of players we are looking at. e.leeds-live.co.uk/_act/link.php ... d=13572643

Seems happy at Huddersfield to me so can't see it, but this is RL so who knows, always liked Andy personally so would be nice to get him back.

Isn’t Ted 80-odd years old?

He’s just been a sounding board i thought, surely too old for a formal position.

It’s not his gig anyway, or his dough. Ellis sounds like he knows what he wants. Hopefully that drive will prevail and spell truly exciting times.

Gaz Ellis anyone ????

Andy Kelly is a good shout though, always liked him, but he was shabbily treated previously.

Gaz Ellis as recruiter?
No he has no experience of that.

Anywhere coaching or playing is more than fine.
