Our Leeds fans here in the Transfer Tavern are full of discussion at the moment as it appears as though their long-awaited search for a manager has come to a close.
The men from Elland Road have been looking for a new boss for quite a while since Garry Monk left and then ended up at Middlesbrough leaving many fans rather frustrated to say the very least.
Indeed, they really have been in the dark as to who was going to come in but now it appears as though it will be Thomas Christiansen as the man to arrive.
Coming from Cypriot side APOEL, Christiansen will be tasked with getting Leeds into the play-offs at the very least and though the club has not confirmed it yet, the likes of Sky Sports and Phil Hay are reporting the news.
Here, then, is the best of the reaction:

Helped propel my CM97/98 Real Oviedo side to a respectable finish alongside Julio Dely Valdes. Small world.

He’s also got champion league experience too with his old club, that could be useful…
