without sounding like an utter tit? ‘Massive club’ ‘Sleeping giant’ Doesn’t really sound right coming out of a Barnsley fan’s mouth.
Especially one who openly admitted he hated Leeds just 2 months ago. Good luck with that, how long did Clough last?
Sky Sports News keep bringing up his comments from when we played Leeds, about how he hated them. Funny how things turn out.
I'd like to think he'll be honest. "They don't want me here. I don't particularly want to be here. But they are paying me a sh1load of money to turn them into a decent team. Cos they aren't one. And haven't been for donkeys years" Or something
No doubt he will have many faces like the rest of them ...will claim his words were taken out of context and he can prove he's been a secret Leeds fan even revealing a tattoo of Clarke Hunter and Collins he will kiss the badge and smile ....big risk on the part of both sides but hecky will certainly be made for life no matter the outcome.. he's in a win win situation ...they sack him everybody goes well that's Leeds for yer...
Confidentiality clause will stop any insight to why he's left Oakwell. Will try to do a good job at Leeds .Probably made sure that Barnsley had a compensation factor so football club he grew up with would not loose out.
It's an opportunity to awaken a sleeping giant of the game. I love Barnsley, I always have & always will but I'm a professional and I want to take this challenge on. I understand how some previous comments may be taken but I can only assure every Leeds fan that I'll work incredibly hard as I always have & that I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.
