MikeyT Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 BBC Sport â€@BBCSport2m Brian McDermott sacked by #LUFC
AKCJ Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 The night before a big local derby Feel sorry for their fans, what a shambles they've become over the last 15 years.
Fox92 Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Really did think he'd do well there. On the basis of what he achieved at Reading. Glad we got our two games out the way.
Leicesterpool Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Quite a surprise really i thought they'd actually give him another season! the worst thing about it is... a night before a game? Also who would join Leeds in there current situation?
Stadt Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Leicesterpool will be slitting his wrists because somebody beat him to the 'next for' thread.
Soar Fox Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Ridiculous sacking really, surely they weren't expecting promotion in his first season. Apparently they didn't even have a scouting network in place when he first went in.
suffolk fox Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 There is a rumour doing the rounds an Italian consortium has just brought them. On that basis it will be an Italian. paulo Di Canio welcome back.
fazzyfox Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Fazzyfox's sacked manager and comedy actor look-alikey of the week:-
Steven Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 There is a rumour doing the rounds an Italian consortium has just brought them. On that basis it will be an Italian. paulo Di Canio welcome back. League One anyone?
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Gianluca Festa is their new manager apparantly,
Unabomber Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Wonder if Brian knows yet or if he is still running away from Pearson.
oxford blue Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Given that Leeds haven't won since 4 December, it's perhaps not surprising. McDermott will be rueing the missed chances against Leicester - we could easily have been 2 or 3 down at half time. My guess is that Leeds have someone ready to appoint - otherwise it makes no sense sacking McDermott at this stage of the season.

Festa, they've been bought out by some nutjob Italian bloke who's sacked the manager to bring his mate in.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Stupid sacking really. I don't care he's not won for a while...it's still surprising.
MPH Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 On Transfer deadline day? They better of been communicating with the new manager for a while and get a couple of his signings in quick otherwise he'll be stuck between a rock and a hard place....
Leicesterpool Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 David O'Leary being linked to a return apparently. I actually could see that happening he's been out of work for sometime plus he was quite popular with Leeds fans when he was there.
Swalker Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Latest rumour to come out of Leeds is that they are trying to reinstate McDermott now! Couldn't write this! Link
Leeds Fox Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Their official twitter account has just confirmed that McDermott remains the first team manager.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 What a shambles. Whatever is going on behind the scenes there can't be good for morale and the fans. Biggest U-turn in the history of U-Turns! If anything, it will make interesting viewing when BMcD gets interviewed!
oxford blue Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 It'll be interesting to see whether McDermott still wants to be the manager...
