He got promoted with an average Reading team (in my opinion) so it wouldn't suprise me if he can get playoffs next year with them. Be interesting to see what budget he gets.
If I was a Leeds fan, I would be bothered by the somewhat questionable ownership issues they still have. I wander what the current board have told McDermott about what their intentions are, transfer kitty etc. Unless they have radical changes planned for next season, I can't see them fairing any better than they have this season.
Smacks a little bit of going for a manager who has proven he can do it on a moderate budget. Suggests there won't be mega bucks available for him, which is what Leeds fans have been hoping the new owners will bring. Deluded fools
Curbishley has become the new George Graham. He was always the first name linked with managerial vacancies, for several years, but didn't get any of them. Seems to be the same thing with Curbs.
