Leeds Utd part company with Milanic after 32 days at the club

[emerald green]

BBC reporting above. Milanic only appointed as head coach on 23 September.

He failed to win any of the six games in charge during his time at Elland Road. Leeds now 18th in the Championship, five points above the relegation zone.

What a mess. Billy Bremner must be spinning in his grave. Just goes to show what can happen to a once great club when it is badly run.

They have sold their soul so many times. The club is unrecognisable from what it used to be

All down to Peter Ridsdale
Below when they signed Seth Johnson

"The story of Johnson's contract negotiations with Leeds have passed into legend, a chilling damnation of Ridsdale's spendthrift regime. It goes as follows: Johnson had been earning £5,000 a week at Derby and his agent told him he wouldn't settle for less than £13,000 a week at Leeds. Ridsdale's opening gambit, however, surprised them both. "Right, I'm sorry, I can only offer you £30,000 a week," he said. Around the table jaws dropped in genuine shock. "Oh, all right then," said Ridsdale, filling the silence, "£37,000."

even beats the joint record of 44 days of two late great football managers to manage Leeds back in those heady days....Jock Stein and Brian Clough, i've followed Leeds Results since the very early 70's when they had a superb team(albeit it a weakened team that night against us), they had a squad of 33 with 17 being Scots, still broke my heart when they knocked us out of the 73 Uefa Cup tie on penalties at ER :(


not a lot of fans will know this about Billy Bremner though(thanks google)

Born in Stirling, in December of 1942, the fiery, industrious footballer who played for Leeds United (1958-76) and Hull City (1976-78) also gained 54 caps for Scotland between 1965-1975. He was manager of Doncaster Rovers twice (1978-85 and 1989-91) and managed Leeds in between those spells (1985-88).
He passed away, in Doncaster, in December of 1997, 2 days before his 55th birthday.

The man who was a major thorn in Hibs' collective side in the Fairs Cup 3rd round ties of 1967/68 and in the UEFA Cup 2nd round ties of 1973/74 was almost a Hibs player himself!

He made his League debut for Leeds (1960 v Chelsea) when he was just 17 years old. Even though he was with such a big club, he was pining for his homeland. He was still wanting away three years later when Hibernian came in for him. He hadn't long handed in his first transfer request to new manager Don Revie and he was 'over the moon' when Leeds accepted his request and he was told Hibs wanted him.

The stumbling block, as ever, was money. Leeds United put a £30,000 price on Bremner but Hibs refused to pay that much. The two clubs had agreed terms but the upshot was, Hibs could only afford £25,000. Leeds wouldn't accept the offer and Bremner stayed with the Yorkshire club and went on to win the First Division championship (twice), the League Cup, The FA Cup and the Inter-City Fairs Cup (also twice) as well as the Second Division title and the Charity Shield.

It is amazing how low Leeds have sunk from the days when they were feared throughout the land. It just shows that having a huge fanbase is no guarantee of success if your club is run by shysters.

[McKenzie]

Gives a new meaning to the "managerial merry go round". Chairman is a nutter who should be allowed nowhere near a football club

[blackpoolhibs]

Horrible club, they are getting everything they deserve.

Good post cabbage. Hibs were robbed that night in '73.

I genuinely did not know that Hibs had missed out on Billy Bremner for the sake of a few thousand quid! Unbelievable. Some things never change at Hibs.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Shouldn't have told them to chuck their medals in the bin.

[jdships]

Is that three or four managers since April 2014 ?
