Gary Mac to take over at Leeds

[RP]

Seems to be favourite.

[Hassony]

Rafa has to find a new assistant before the 18th otherwise DIC will pull out!

[Murphman]

I'd always thought that him being a widower with young kids stopped him from full on management?

[RP]

I think that whilst his wife was ill, he was in a fortyunate enough position to be able to devote himself full-time to caring for her and their children. But I cannot see why it would rule him out from taking a full-time job now.

Location was part of the issue re the kids not necessarily the role in its entirety

That would depend on how much he puts into it. I believe Rafa does extraordinarily long days, many managers are at a games half their life watching opponents and new players etc.. I suppose he could get others to do all that but it's a pretty big job i'd have thought, especially when the kids have lost their mum.

His sons are at boarding school and he's ready to take on another job.

 

I dislike Leeds but still hope he does well.

[SkippyjonJones]

good luck to him.

 

be nice for him to get some experience at a little club before joining us..

[R A Softlad]

Good luck Macca, you're a bloody legend mate.

That's not what I was told at the weekend.

 

According to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx who actually spoke to Macca last month said he would not consider another job as he always made sure he would return home for his kids. Obviously something was lost in translation.

[Boca]

Confirmed now.

 

Sky

[Sion]

Damn, I have to hate Leeds a bit less now.

[Hightown Phil]

Be interesting if he makes a decent fist of it and Benitez leaves in about 5 years time.

[Guest Kaizer]

Good luck to him, but he did not exactly pull up any trees at Coventry.

[Kite]

Good luck to him, but he did not exactly pull up any trees at Coventry.

Surely that would be the groundsman's job

Good luck to Gary Mac - he's a class act on and off the pitch so hopefuly he'll do well.
