Looks like the new owner is starting to sort thing out up there. Could do a job....

Sacked for the second time, Benito Carbone pretty much odds on to take over. Season of struggle ahead for Leeds, serious money problems and less players than we have currently.

No, he's not exactly a very good manager. Excelled with Reading when Jason Roberts signed for one last go at it but otherwise has done nothing of note.

I would imagine he ticks a lot of boxes. Knows the league, a promotion under his belt and worked successfully with a DOF setup at Reading.

He should get the 'Nigel Clough Award' for staying at a club way beyond his sell by date. See also Clarke, Lee.

Behaved with dignity during the shambolic takeover and sacking/non-sacking. Will get a job somewhere else no problem, but I think we could do better.

You have to wonder if that's changed anything as far as we are concerned, people were talking about maybe an announcement today, which never happened, maybe he could be in the mix

Brighton/Reading are of the same template, and he took them up, so for me he is better than some of the pie in the sky names bandied about lately...

What it does mean, is another vacancy with maybe a few people who might be in the frame for Brighton, may be turned by Leeds.

Lee McCormack isn't going to stick around, surely. There'll be plenty of suitors.

Leeds want a coach not a manager, maybe a job for Oscar?

I've briefly contemplated trying to make some sort of joke involving Lee Mack and a stand-up piano but...no.

I'm disappointed. Old potato head had no qualifications other than a degree in hairloss and looking a total **** all the time, apart from suffering from alopecia and classlesness

Amazed how he stayed longer than he did to be honest, but I guess he was hanging on for a big pay-off.

This quote from the Egg-man in the statement made me chuckle a bit - "Your support of me and the players was always an inspiration and I urge everyone to get behind the team and the new owner next season to get us back to where we need to be, fighting for trophies and competing at the top-table of English and European football."

He seems to now be as deluded as the Leeds fans themselves !!
