mrnoneofyourbusiness before you start knocking Gary Mac as your new manager, take a look at your position in the league. Who you expect would be banging down the door for the Leeds job??? Capello? Scholari? No I'd be thankful for Gary Mac if I were you.

Pauldleeds - "mrnoneofyourbusiness - I disagree. Commitment is just as, if not more important than ability."

Although i tend to agree, there are exceptions, George Best to name one

Wise and Gus - rats fleeing a sinking ship. They know Leeds won't get promoted this season. The fact that Leeds have now appointed a 'legend' rather than spending money on an experienced top-level manager capable of getting in the Premiership is short-sightedness. Commitment alone is worthless. When ability breeds commitment - then you're in business.

I can't believe all those 'Leeds' fans already finding something to have a go about Macca. I am old enough to remember a certain D.Revie taking over back in the 60's the rest is history. As I recall he had not much experience but got us to be one of the top teams in Europe. Give Macca a chance

I agree Paul!! lets hope Garys mate Speedo comes in soon as assistant to get to back to the premiership.
Once remember Don Revie quipping that its all in the captain..... and Macca was a good gaffer as was Strachan who recommeded him and Bremners memory will be well served - believe me!!

as a leeds fan for over 43 years, i have seen many ups and downs. i have in the past also held a season ticket when i could afford it, but sadly now for me they are too expensive. why is it then that i dont have the same excitement about gary mcallister. why is it so great to have him at the helm? just because he used to play for leeds doesnt mean he will be great for us. bremner was a hero as a player eddie gray likewise and allan clarke the list rolls on but they didnt make good managers, if any former player should have been recruited then maybe strachan was my choice, also for those of you who hate people because they played for other clubs eg chelsea and man u get a life

redmistdescends,

I'm not knocking Macca at all. I wish him all the best. What concerns me is that the vast majority of Leeds fans have reacted to his appointment as if he's Mourinho! They should calm down. Just because he was a hero as a player doesn't mean to say he will be just as successful as a manager.

Looks like the above was wrong
He was a good manager that just got unlucky

Now he's gone
