Of course I don't. My post was an attempt at satire. To be clear, I don't actually think that being a **** who hates Sheffield Wednesday and has previous for scamming the tax man qualifies someone to be manager of LUFC (or any other team).
On the face of it, it looks like a terrible appointment. Steve Evans takes controversy wherever he goes but is nowhere near having the attributes to compensate for the negative attention. Leeds ought to have been trying to tempt the likes of Nigel Pearson. He'll probably think he can get another Premier League job but might have been tempted by a club of Leeds' stature if it wasn't such a circus. As it is, Cellino seems to like the cheap option in the manager's spot so Pearson was probably never even considered. If he was approached, I think Pearson is smart enough not to touch it with a barge pole.
It's lucky for Leeds that there are enough bad teams that they shouldn't go down this season even being run in this fashion (although don't discount some unforeseen points deduction, I guess).
