24 votes is still proof of the best championship coach.

Stuff the rest of the pretenders.

Farke isnt in the champioship as neither are we, but if he was he wins.

I wonder how Leeds United would rate some of their "fans" opinions of them??

What an oversight from AI it was completely remiss of it to make an image of him in red. It apologises and hopes you will find this image more acceptable

But he has put the car he drove in the Championship on the market, if anybody is interested. A good little runner... never had a spanner on her.

Just stirring the pot, folks.

Does today's result change opinions.

Of course, the two who voted Le Bris will think he is the best manager in the 2024/25 championship.

The man did well today.

He's not perfect Le bris, Sunderland fans have been frustrated by his style and game management at times.

But in his 1st season in English football he's taken a a side from 16th to promotion.

Youngest Efl playoff side ever whilst handling injuries to key players like Tom Watson and Romaine Mundle.

Got it spot on today as well with his subs.

Deserves a lot of credit in context.

Doesn't change anything for me, play-offs are a lottery and if he loses then it doesn't make him a much worse manager and similarly if Wilder won then it wouldn't mean I'd think particularly more of him.

Yeah exactly a one off game. Cannot be compared to winning the league plus he benefited hugely from Keith O’Moore’s moment of being Welsh isn’t it.

Indeed, it's a lottery.

Wilder's team have bottled it in the big games

They were on top in the first-half against us at Bramall Lane, Leeds hit back & destroyed them in the final quarter. The blunts weren't in the game at ER. They lost both games vs Burnley.

And it happens again today, when in control for a big chunk of the game.

Taking the youngest team in efl history from 16th to promotion in your first season in England whilst dealing with multiple injuries basically all season. . . . .

That's a pretty impressive achievement no.

No. I mean yes.
That is a good achievement.
The youngest bit I dont really find that big a deal. Can be overrated. Injuries. Well happens doesn’t it. To all managers. So all in all a decent effort.

A different VAR call, Sheff U taking their chances and Sunderland would have got spanked today and been out of the game before LeBris's substitutions. Sometimes luck is the biggest factor.

Some people think Le Bris is the big cheese but he had 24 points less than the top 2 & 14 points less than SU.
Is the excuse young squad, value, injuries or is Le Bris simply gouda but not grate.

Wasn't the age of our squad one of the many many excuses DF used when we didn't get promoted ?

Le Bris did a great job in CONTEXT Jay 2.

Be interesting to see how he does next season, he does have a successful season in Ligue 1 to fall back on and his counter attacking style could translate well as a newly promoted club.

He did ok. I agree.
But he is a long way behind the top 3. Got lucky in the final.
But like you I’m fascinated to see how those 3 get on next season. Games against each other will be vital.
