There's some really weird candidates being thrown up for the Leeds job, a couple of obscure Italian guys and David Hockaday, who's never managed a league side before. That club's an absolute basketcase at the moment.

The new owner wants them to sign Astori who is an Italian international linked with Spurs, Everton and United. He is the owner of Cagliari where Astori plays. Surely that isn't above board if it goes through (not expecting it to)

But even more dirty. They were young loanees. The story I had read mentioned it being a permanent transfer and that he is looking to sell the Italian club to American investors after the transfer window

Surely Astori will still reject terms with Leeds? Its not like he'd want to play in the Championship and they couldn't afford to pay him enough to convince him otherwise.

Or not. Now saying he doesn't want considered.

Had ruled himself out earlier so not sure what's going on there.

FFP only comes into it in the Championship and European comps right? If he is targeting promotion he can pump the money in this window without having the implications hit them too bad

QPR probably would've copped a transfer ban if they hadn't been promoted, in addition to a pretty significant fine. They're pretty harsh measures, if you cop massive losses and fail to achieve promotion you will get screwed over. I'd also question Astori's own interest in joining Leeds, why would you leave a Serie A side to join a club like Leeds, particularly given you'd probably have far better offers on the table from other clubs. Its a career-killer.

I remember that they used to be massive over here in the early 2000s, every second kid would go to soccer training in a Kewell or Viduka jersey.

Never really understood the decision to sack him. 3rd & 4th in his first 2 seasons of management with Leverkusen wasn't exactly a bad result.

Because the reports were that it was really Lewandowski who was the reason for their success while Hyypia was in charge.
His first season in charge was a shared role with Sascha Lewandowski - they had a decent season. Lewandowski then returned to the youth setup, and Hyypia became the 1st team coach. Towards the end of the season they went on a slide - 1 win in 12. Hyypia sacked, Lewandowski returns to win 4 and draw 1 out of their last 5 matches.
Southampton and WBA in for him now anyway.

Good, glad Keane is staying at Ireland.
