 Reid says his incentives are not based on points |
Leeds caretaker boss Peter Reid has told the BBC that he wants the job full-time. The former Sunderland manager was drafted in at Elland Road to guide Leeds to Premiership safety after Terry Venables was sacked.
"Leeds is an outstanding football club and the training facilities are second-to-none," Reid told BBC Radio Five Live.
"It would be a great football club to manage on a permanent basis."
Reid has just seven matches left to prove himself after Leeds lost their opening game under his command at Liverpool.
But even if Reid does avoid the drop, Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale says the former England midfielder is not guaranteed to get the job on a permanent basis.
Reid, who was sacked by Sunderland last October, contradicted Ridsdale's revelation that he was being paid per point won. "There are a lot of incentives in the contract but it is not based on points won," he said.
"It is a priority for Leeds to stay up. We need to get results to keep in this league."
