6 points off 2nd with 2 games in hand. Could be a very good gig for someone.

Home to Swindon and then Brentford are their next 2 fixtures though.

Going to seem so weird seeing him at another club. Be interesting if Gibbs goes with him and anyone else from back room team when he was here.

It's going to be weird cheering Leeds on next year. I can see a Leeds/Reading play-off final on the cards.

Ideal Leeds to win the division, while we finish 14th. You heard it here first.


And Liverpool to be relegated?

Oh...

Not a chance. McDermott a slow starter and relegation is a real threat for Leeds this season.

We'll see! He'll have them overperforming in no-time, then they go on that end of season winning streak and we'll all be watching on in envy..
Look forward to us playing them at home, I can already see how that will go down, we have 14 chances they have 2, yet they win 2-0..


McDermott wont get the time he'll need at Leeds. The crowd and new owners want instant success. He's destined to fail there.

Tend to agree with that. Strange decision by BM - him and Leeds are a bad fit. Just like at Brizzle when SSC went there, the fans will expect nothing less than top six from the start of the season. I suspect that Brian, just like Sir Steve, might not appreciate that kind of pressure.

He needs a job, and a big club has just offered him one.

And a vital part of the mindset of people who succeed in football is that they always believe that they can take on any challenge and be successful at it. If you don't have that state of mind about what you can achieve, you'll not last long in the industry.

So he'll be thinking "this is a great opportunity" rather than "it's too big for me".

Wasn't a resignation though

Like when he took over with us in 22nd place in January 2010 and we finished 9th, you mean?

Good luck, Brian. Be absolute JOKES if Leeds beat us in the play-offs next season :lol:

Don't like Leeds, like Brian. Think I'll just forget about them both next season....
