Well they wanted a big name!

1 win in the last 16 for Barnsley. Decent record.

Will he last until the summer?

If he's got any sense he'd stay at Barnsley - although with that record he may not have a choice............................

Didn't he say in an interview last season that he disliked Leeds and their arrogance and loved to beat them.

Not sure how that will endear him to the 'faithful'.

I notice that one year after getting sacked from Leeds former manager Dave Hockaday was again sacked after taking Kidderminster Harriers to the bottom of the National League and one year after that he took a job as Head of Male Football at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College.

That's the football equivalent of going from Head Chef at The Ivy to flipping burgers at McDonald's.

How many of their previous managers are still on the payroll ? they must spend a fortune paying them or even paying them off

How's this going down on the Leeds forums? :lolol:

Do WACCOE still ban outsiders from joining? There's always #LUFC on Twitter, for your viewing pleasure.

IT's hard getting on there. The slightest negative towards them and you are banned,

No he didn't.

He was talking about playing football as a boy on the field behind his house.

He was in the "Barnsley" team but the older stronger boys were in the "Leeds" team.

They used to kick the s### out of them, so hated playing that "Leeds" team.

Short funny story in an interview about the upcoming Derby.

Oh. I quite liked him after catching only part of that interview. What a shame!
