http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/3rqxa5udg6s617zmwy7hm2c3k/title/united-appoint-new-chief-executive

United chairman Massimo Cellino said: “I am very pleased to be welcoming Ben to Leeds United to join our expanding management team.

“It is important that we continue to grow our Football Club on and off the pitch, and I believe that Ben has the skills required to help us achieve our targets."

“He did a fantastic job at Barnsley and has an excellent reputation in the game."

“Ben’s arrival will now allow me to focus on fighting all of my court cases and trying to avoid prison."

“I'm relishing getting started and meeting the staff, especially Garry Monk and his team. Everyone at Leeds United is truly committed to challenging to return to the Premier League and I can't wait to play my part in that journey.”

Here's hoping Garry Monk is left to show he can do the job without anyone player master off the puppets!..

It has to be done his way!..

Knew about this, this morning. Genuinely gutted, met him a few times and did the charity walk to Bradford with him. Very approachable and a good link between fans and he board.
Also ambitious so I wouldn't have thought you'd be the last club he works for.
Helped turn our season around, but while we were doing poor he wasn't called bulls**t Ben for nothing.
Good luck to him

Thanks for insight snapski.

A little disappointing this.

Best summarized by:

“Ben’s arrival will now allow me to focus on fighting all of my court cases and trying to avoid prison."

Would be much better if he was distracted and got locked up!

Thanks Snapski, seems like we got a good one, for as long as he stays, anyway.

Barnsley have been well run over the past few seasons so this is probably a good move
Just need Fletcher and Isgrove now

More solid news. If this bloke's as good as his press,
then we might be on the right track. Hopefully, MC stays out his way and he's a huge success.

Don't think you'd have wanted him before Xmas though. Like I said he's a good lad and very approachable.

Never heard of him, positively or negatively but its another member of staff to try and curb that lunatic in charge.
