    Is 8 months really long enough to manage Leeds or any other club? I know that there have been shorter runs at Leeds but this seems a panic from the chairman. Ne manager will only have the same squad to use.

    Well there’s a club in a mess however they have the fan base

    Our re adjustment hopefully will put us in our place. A skilful flair London championship side. Leeds have designs of being a big club again ... proving difficult isn’t it and must be a lot more frustrating than our fan base is behaving.

    Heritage is a killer
    Adjusting with courage is the bravest thing any football fan has to do. Imo

    I wouldn't say Leeds were in a mess, more that they have a ruthless owner who knows where he wants to get to. Similar in that respect to when we had Briatore. He may imo have found a decent guy in the ex Barnsley manager who had all his best players sold beneath him. Time will tell but they will get back in the Premier league sooner rather than later.

    Maybe but they are certainly making more pressure for themselves imo

    Villa and Wolves bigger clubs will go well before them and then you have the teams that descend. I of course hate them with a passion as a club plus not keen on the city or the people

    Changing manager all the time never works. You need stability. Just look at what the revolving door at Chelsea has brought them, compared to say, Arsenal over the last ten years. Nothing but trophies.

    Nope I have never liked Leeds United hated them as a boy. Never liked their supporters and certainly have never liked the stereotypical Yorkshire thing. Leeds as a city i also didn’t like as I had to deal with marketeers on a few contracts where I was art directing ... real lack of taste combined with a know it all attitude but no minerals to back anything up.

    I therefore love it where I see certain football clubs fail and I hope it hurts them

    That’s just a fools opinion

    What's the stereotypical Yorkshire thing?
    I'm proud to be a Yorkshire man. Love the city of Leeds and it's people. Not keen on those part time frogs that cross the pond to try believe they still belong to.this country though. Horrible people

    We each have our own experiences
    I have paid so much tax in the past that the U.K. owes me. I love the U.K. countryside and love Yorkshire possibly the most as it’s the heart of the U.K. to me but the people?

    Not even close as say compared to the Irish

    I also have fished against many Yorkshire and Lancs and only repaying the hatred shown to us Southerners. They can’t take the banter as well as us from the south

    They give it out alright as I was lambasted just because I turned up in my Porsche
    They don’t like Londoners and they certainly not keen on the French. They drink too much also. I am there again for most of June this year for tournaments and believe me there’s nowt better than beating a Yorkshire or Lanc fishing. Funny thing is they are not even keen on each other is that a roses thing?

    Oh and they both talk funny but the puddings are brilliant. Plus they are mainly fat
