Manager Gary Monk

It will come as painful reading for many City fans, but Monk has done very well at Leeds and is shaping up to be one of the best young British managers in the game.

The general consensus was he was unfairly dismissed at Swansea, but he quickly recovered from any disappointment and took on a job riddled with problems. Leeds were a sinking ship in many ways, with owner Massimo Cellino cutting an erratic and capricious figure.
To his enormous credit, Monk has revitalised this sleeping giant and enthused the Yorkshire club with his own philosophy.
The ex-Swans player and manager will be keen to get another one over his former bitter rivals and there will an added importance on this match, whether he admits it or not.

Its not painful to hear at all.
Hate Leeds and hate Swansea but you have to be a kind of twisted individual to see someone's ability and success as a manager as 'painful' - surely there are more important things in life to become pained about

Chris wathan loved writing that the jack b*stard. Why he gets to write articles for city with such biased and condescending undertones I don't know. He should have been sacked with tucker.
