Transcript

00:00Just a word on both managers as well, if that's all right.

00:03I mean, Daniel Falk, after last year narrowly missing out in the Premier League,

00:06he's really reinvigorated Leeds this year.

00:08It feels like a stronger, more rounded Leeds side.

00:11And in terms of Labris at Sunderland,

00:13I think he came in with a bit of an air of mystery about him,

00:16but he's certainly surpassed expectations.

00:19Well, he has, yeah.

00:20It was a surprise that obviously the owners had done the homework on him

00:23and he basically has grabbed this opportunity

00:28and developed his own style and given youth the opportunity

00:31and played some good football and it's proved the right decision.

00:38And Daniel Falk, I've been really impressed with Daniel

00:41since he came like nearly two summers ago,

00:44that it's never easy to manage a club the size of Leeds,

00:47the expectancy level, but I think he embraced the supporters very quickly

00:51and even recently he's been under quite a bit of pressure

00:55with the results not going his way.

00:57But when you look at his record, it's unbelievable the number of wins he's had

01:03and where they've been in the last two years.

01:06So hopefully he can round off this success with a promotion

01:11because it's what he deserves really.

01:13And yeah, fingers crossed.
