Looks like Uwe Rosler is the new manager.
Bit of a conflict of interest for me, because Leeds never had any endearing features at all for me.
Good luck anyway,

Looks like its definite, they have called a press conference for 3pm. Good luck Uwe, you will need it.

I like Leeds and I love Uwe.

I still hate Leeds as a carry over from the Don Revie days and his ruination of the game by what was termed at that time as 'method football'.

However, if Uwe is there then that's a real quandry as he was an out and out hero for City and he always seems to have retained a strong bond of feeling towards his old Club.

On that basis, without actually falling in love with his new side, I want to wish him well and I hope he succeeds brilliantly there and, in all fairness, the Premiership could do with another team of Leeds size and 'stature' to provide even more competition for the 'big' sides than the likes of Hull etc.do at the moment.

Moreover, most Leeds fans hate the Sum with a depth of feeling which is quite admirable, so they can't be all completely bad.......

.........and who knows, Uwe might become City's manager at some point in the future.

Best of luck to him, loved him as a player and would like to see him do well as a manager.

my lads off to Leeds Uni so okish, still twats....

I hate leeds, their fans and the city. Which is a bit of a cunt seeing as I live there. Suppose they've given me a reason to pay attention to them now. Good luck uwe. That man was my first city love.

Lets hope Wigan was a blip for him and they were a lost cause before he arrived, because he didn't make a very good fist of it there.

My lads off to leeds uni this year too, I looked at getting him a season ticket there so he didn't have to come home every other weekend or midweek and they are more expensive than it was to renew his at City. So I renewed his and told him he would have to come home for the games

I love Uwe, I hate Leeds - I'm going to have to become a kind of Yorkshire equivalent of a Bosnian fan and just follow the man.
I wonder if he'll rescue Huws from Wigan in the summer? (Assuming he recovers from his injury/operation fully)

My quandry exactly. Although you have reminded me of the one admirable quality that I'd forgotten, their fans attitude toward anything raggy.

Whelan sold all the best players behind Uwe,s back last summer after Uwe had miraculously got Wigan to the play offs . Whelan has also "binned" all the premier league parachute money and retired leaving the club in an absolute mess , guess all the money he got from selling those players and the prem money went towards his retirement fund ? Oh and look Wigan have been relegated yet again into the old third division , oh and guess what Whelan put his 23 year old grand son in full control of the club !!! The said 23 year olds only business interest thus far was a fish and chip shop that went bust !!!! What a proper cunt Whelan is and Uwe got shit on from a great height .

Whelan will be dead soon anyway the fuckin racist nonce, so we can all have a party then.

Love Uwe, hate Leeds but I love Uwe more than I hate Leeds so I'll be looking out for their results and hope he smashes it

Same here regards love of Uwe but a hatred of Leeds!. My first ever football game as a kid was watching Huddersfield play them at Leeds Road. Think I was about five and still can remember the blood and scenes of terrible violence and it wasn't caused by the Town lot.

Also in our Village it seems to go like this....

Decent working folks seem to follow Bradford, the 'less desirable / thugs / coke head' types all follow Leeds.

Thanks for that Rural.

I think I'm going to have fun passing on that thought to my daft brother-in-law, who just happens to be a Leeds fan.

A case of 'light the blue touch paper and retire....'

Absolutely MC. I hear ya with the hating of Leeds and love of Uwe. Though if he lasts a season under their imbecile of an owner he will have done well. Is he the fifth or sixth manager in little over a year?!!

The fifth one, by all accounts.

By all that's fair and just, you could argue that Uwe deserves better than what could be a veritable bed of roses. To my mind, he would be good for a side like West Ham.

I assume there's not many decent folk in your village then?

I don't mind Leeds, I wasn't around in the 70s, so the first Leeds team I ever really remember was Howard Wilkinson's title winning side. We went on a football tour in Italy at that time, and the coach was a big Leeds fan, being young and impressionable, bribed us into doing a conga INTO the Trevi fountain singing Howard Wilko's barmy army.....of course the police weren't amused, and fortunately as we were only about 14 at the time avoided arrest. I also seem to recall rooting for them in the early days of the champions league in 92/93 in an amazing game against Stuttgart. Beyond that I remember the young side off the late 90s/early 00's, particularly the team that came and schooled us 5-2 at Maine Rd in the cup - so much to admire about that team.

In my trips to Leeds over the few years where we passed them as we rose and they dropped, I never really had much cause to dislike the fans. Besides, it reminds me of one of Rochdale's worst ever hooligan incidents which really could have come from one of the recent spate of movies, but is in fact true. Leeds were playing City, and United playing Bradford........a train full of both teams fans pulled up at Rochdale station and on seeing each other the trains emptied and ended up in a massive brawl in and around the train station spilling into the town centre as more trains pulled in from each direction over the next hour.

I can't dislike any fans that would get off a train on the way to a different match, just to stick it to a bunch of rag cunts.

Luckily there are a majority of Bradford fans. T'is on the whole a nice village.
