Personally, I'm underwhelmed and not much more. We're being expected to place faith in the unknown yet again, and I for one have got precious little left in my 'faith bucket'.
I'm prepared to wait and see, before I judge - what option do I have, really? But I can't be excited about this, and to be honest, I'm pretty fed up with not being excited whenever things change. I can't honestly remember when I was last excited by an appointment at Leeds - be it player, manager or board level. Just endless, fruitless hope, hope, hope...

Isn't that winning 1 game ?

But lettuce also see who he has as his backroom staff. Sent from my Mobile -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [LU] Thomas Christiansen - no me neither From: Phill Shields To: Matt Anderson ,Richard Walker CC: Leeds List This appointment lacks ambition in my opinion and feels like a financial one as opposed to football. If this had been announced in the period when season tickets were up for renewal it would have certainly had a negative impact. Apparently AR was very impressed with TC at the interview, my question is how did he even get an interview? When looking for the qualities to manage us I would have expected the successful candidate to meet most of the following criteria:- * Track record of management in English football and preferably the Championship; * Ability to attract better players than we have now; * Some sort of silverware in management; * Able to build on what we already have. He patently fails against 3 of that criteria. Seriously, I don’t care how good he was at interview, if this is the best AR can do he should have fought tough and nail to keep Monk. You will have gathered that I am thoroughly pissed off. This is a massive gamble and, as usual, it is us the fans whose hopes and aspirations are being toyed with again. It feels to me like we are doing it on the cheap yet again. Can’t wait to see our squad been improved by all these superstars from Cyprus football.
