Judging by our start today, no, you can't. Early days yet, hope you do good, will follow
haha i thought we would scrape it 2-1, but i thought schmicel (probably splet wrong) was quality but the penalty decision was a bit dodgy

When i woke up this morning, i felt a buzz in myself. i just lay in bed saying to myself i'm the new manager of Leeds Utd so i just lay there with a massive grin on my face. When i got on i put my best suit on had breakfast and headed to Elland Road. As i sat down in my car i realised how nervous i was.
I then thought if i could go through with this
As i drove in to Elland Road it felt weird not entering the fans car pack, but heading to reception entrance, as i walked through the entrance, everyone was welcoming me "hi, mr Sumner", a fit blonde receptionst took me to Ken Bates' office, i followed her with her hips swaying side to side. "here, he is". Ken welcomed me "hello, Mr Sumner, let me take you on a quick tour of the stadium."
As we walked along he kept asking me questions like "where do you come from ?",
"what's your background". It felt good to actually meet Ken Bates, the Leeds Utd chairman. I was about to be unveiled as the manager, you know with that scarf thing.
3....2....1... smile ,flash !!
I was now offically the new manager of the club ive supported as a boy, the mighty Leeds Utd.

Today was the day of my first press-conference as Leeds United boss, i had a quick meeting with Ken Bates for advice on how to handle press-conferences he told me to relax and be myself, even those reassuring words do not take away the nerves.
So the press-conference began:
Q1-BBC Leeds-You sit here unveiled as the new manager of Leeds, as a big fan of the club is this a dream come true?
A:definitely, i am a lifelong fan of this magnifcent club
Q2-BBC Leeds-What style of football do you like to play?
A:i will mostly always look to play succesful attacking football
Q3-The League Paper-How involved do you intend to be on a day to day basis?
A: i intend to be heavily involved in all areas of the club because of the fantastic facilities available
Q4-BBC Leeds-New managers often bring about times of change and upheaval and some might fear for their jobs, will there be changes?
A:I will take a complete evulation of the players and staff and get rid of anyone i consider to be dead wood.
Q5-BBC Leeds-You have taken charge of Leeds at a time when it is expected that Robert Snodgrass may well be leaving the club. What are the chance of you keeping him around?
A:Robert is very much part of my plans for the upcoming season, so i will be wanting to keep him around for a while.
well that wasn't so bad, i was a bit edgy for the first couple of questions but after that i was in full flow the nerves fled away.
