Harry Redknapp isn’t going to be the new Leeds manager, but his name even being mentioned is a reminder of their lack of plan for a post-Jesse Marsch world.Coming on the morning after Neil Warnock was confirmed as the new manager of Huddersfield Town, it would appear that geriatric managers are particularly attracted to West Yorkshire in 2023.
Experience counts for a lot, and it might well be the case that Redknapp could still motivate his players. But one of the issues with Leeds under Jesse Marsch was that they could look tactically muddled at times. Marsch came from the Red Bull world – where there is a definite philosophy – but his strategic approach, which it was hoped would harness the best of Leeds under Marcelo Bielsa while jettisoning the aspects that weren’t working in the Premier League, left his team too easy to pick off.
Because the stakes are high. Leeds made £115.1m in television and prize money from the Premier League for the 2021/22 season, and relegation back to the Championship after two years would seriously hurt the club in the pocket, as well as the obvious wounding to its pride. The risks certainly seem too high for the club to be taking such a gamble on someone who’s been away from this level of the game for such an extended period of time.
Leeds are in no way headed towards the sort of financial cataclysm of 20 years ago, but the essence of the reservations over that remains. This is too important a position to take a gamble which could see the club’s senior management being held responsible for the loss of tens of millions of pounds.
