Good luck to you Brian. I dont like Leeds, and hated them even more under Warnock, but in some ways I would like to see them back in the Premier League, so if they finish second to us next season I would be happy Will be really interesting to seehow Brian does there

Reckon the Leeds board went for him because he's good at polishing turds & won't ask for money.

Still I wish him the best of luck just not at our expense.

Destined to fail. I think he had a large pinch of luck here last season. Leeds seem convinced he plays flowing passing football. Boy are they in for a shock. Get ready for a combative physical hard working midfield and long-ball football. I know it worked out here, but we snatched a lot of points last season, and some deservedly so, but is Brian a one club wonder? I think so. I hope it works out for him but just can't shrug the feeling that he wont see out that contract.

As for Leeds thinking they'll get Le Fondre... Deary me, they do still think a lot of themselves don't they! If he did leave it will be to go up a level, now sideways (and that's generous). I expect Church and Harte to be Leeds players in the summer.

Alfie is starting under Adkins - why on earth would he leave for someone who benched him?!

Alfie will be key for us next season. I reckon Adkins will do everything he can to keep him.

yes and?

What the difference a 112 days make? How both men are right for the job...

[sandman]

Same situation here tbf.

[Ian Herring]

Leeds.

Utter despicable filthy tumour of a club.

Brian.

Success wished.

But not there.

Sorry. Not there.

and 33 days before his sacking he was deemed the best manager in the prem

Chalk and cheese come to mind , but good luck B'Mac

Same situation here tbf.

Not quite. Brian was given almost 18 months by the new owner and arguably given too long to turn it around this season. Bit different to having the right man for the job, and him being a reason we bought the club, and then appointing a new manager within 112 days.

Er, no he wasn't. He was awarded a manager of the month award, not a recognition of achievement award for being the best manager in the top flight of english football.

[AthleticoSpizz]

for the month of January

er

good grief (overuse of rolling eyes)

[grey_squirrel]

Hmmm. Good luck Brian. But more haste less speed?

I think both parties are in for a shock and I don't see this working out.

I too wouldn't be surprised if he is looking the exit door in the eye come Christmas

[Mike Hunt]

He's just been on sky and said that when he was sacked he still believed Reading could stay up

But when he was sacked, Reading could still stay up? Not really shocking buds.

[Stuka]

Never cared for Leeds but hopefully Brian can instil some class in them.
