Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell has been sacked by the Elland Road board of directors after three-and-a-half years at the club. Blackwell, who succeeded Eddie Gray as manager in June 2004 after spending 12 months as coach, had come under increasing pressure from frustrated fans in recent weeks.

They have got to blame somebody, smacks of hero to zero so fickle the Leeds fans.

Good riddance to the idiot who blamed everything and everyone apart from his own boring, lifeless tactics.

A passionate and attacking performance yesterday

Yeah, fantastic infact. We just had ao go at them for once. If Slackwell had still been in charge, if we had actually managed a goal, it would have been 11 men in the box for the remaining 80 minutes!

But we just kept going forward even after it went 3-2!

The first time this year i haven't nearly fallen asleep in my seat

I know a certain manager that would love the Leeds job but I don't think he's a big enough name.
