Cheer up, Peter Reid

[Captain Splarg]

Eddie Gray is NOT Leeds boss till the end of the season..... it is Peter Reid
Seems that Venables has left after one final bust-up with the board.

makes for interesting times, eh?

He's the only coach I've ever known. How sad. Seriously though, I may not know all that much about Leeds but I do believe that Ridsdale should be the one to leave before Tel. Is this a good move? Was Tel that great of a coach?

hopefully when i wake up tomorrow they will have something up on leeds website about it

soccernet.com reports that Peter Reid has been hired as caretaker.

[Captain Splarg]

Yeah, Peter Reid is in charge.

I just finished watching the press confenence at Elland Road with the two Peters.

2 points of interest....

It is only till the end of the season with no garuntee that Reid will have the job.
Reid WILL play Batty IF he is match fit.

Does Reid have to sell his shares in Blunderland to serve as caretaker?

only if it "becomes a problem"

one of the reporters asked him this, and he replied with "do you want them?"
