Sam Ellis has today joined Kevin Blackwell at Leeds United. He will become the new assistant manager at Elland Road in a move that is sure to generate interest in the Ternent household.

It was only a couple of seasons ago that Stan Ternent had a fight with Kevin Blackwell at Bramall Lane, during half time, when Ternent accused the Sheffield United assistant manager of listening to the Burnley team talk.

Ellis has been by the side of Stan for numerous years now and he came to Burnley with Stan from Bury back in 1998. Stan and Sam had major success at Bury before repeating their success at the Turf. Ellis left Burnley last month with Stan but has found employment within a month. The job at Leeds is a tough one but we wish him all the best.
