fred mciver Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Wilko a much smarter manager than Francis was main reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point but you would hope that if we could put a deal together to sign Mark Bright we could have done the same to sign Waddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirst, Waddle and Cantona up front. I might go and have a work one No we wouldn’t, check the facts. Also so he only scored three goals for Leeds that season.

Ante's Bubbly Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I heard we could not afford Cantona's wages as they would have upset the apple cart. People used to talk less rubbish about managers back then and judge people more on what they did. Big Ron was a brilliant manager and one of our best but Francis got us to beat united and in one huge game that really mattered to the fans. We were favourites for the title one year under Francis. He was not a brilliant man manager but took us that extra step up as a team. We went downhill after he was gone and were only just starting to head back in the right direction until DC messed up. No idea why my phone underlined all this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiejohn Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It has to be remembered that cantona as brilliant as he turned out to be would have been brought in as number two to Hirst at best. Maybe he saw Chapman and Wallace as less competition than Hirst and Williams,we will never know how it would have turned out but it would have been nice to have the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped them get over the line to win the title. The last English manager to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Eric Cantona was a frustrating miss. The Frenchman was on trial at Wednesday but the pitches were frozen so he played instead in an indoor tournament at the Sheffield Arena. ‘Chris Waddle came up to my box and said we had to sign him,’ recalls Richards. ‘But the manager (Trevor Francis) still insisted he wanted to see Eric play on grass.' 'Eric was in my house when Howard Wilkinson called me from his house about 500 yards away to say he was signing him for Leeds.’ Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Morgan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I find it irrelevant had he signed he would have binned us off as quickly as he did Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
