What are the immediate things Tony could bring to the dressing room ahead of Sundays game..if anything?!

Lift spirits and improve those players mentally who may be threatened with the axe.

That's probably about it until he starts his hands on coaching on Monday

We can always hope, but it looks as though Jimmy will decide on team selection this week while Smithy (hehe I'm calling him smithy already) will take a more observant role til monday.

his mere presence will have an immediate effect.....they all know they are now playing for there places and wage packets instead of "i will be playing wether or not i deserve it".

them days are over now and we should now see the real steel in the squad, no hiding places anymore for the players.

Maybe a few players will be looking to impress to get in the Engand shirt at the end of the season!

I suppose that could work either way and give leeds a boost!

wait and see!!

I'm thinking maybe his very presence will have the desired effect. Maybe a few will realise the jig could be up and start playing for their places?

Can't do much in truth, but his presence should give the whole day a lift. I was not going to travel up from Northamptonshire for the game and will do so now for the start of a new era.

I watched a 'Sweet Sixteen UK' last night, some spoilt brat learnt to do a proper rehearsed dance routine in two days, so I reckon Smith could do similar, easily.
