Who will be Leeds' next manager?

After Ken Bates sacked Simon Grayson following the 4-1 defeat to Birmingham City at Elland Road questions are being questions are being asked about who will take the vacant sit in the Leeds dugout.

Leeds are again looking for a new manager as Ken Bates got rid of his fourth manager in Simon Grayson. The sacking was a result of Leeds' poor run of form that see's them sit well outside of the playoff places however Ken Bates expected success without spending money making it seems as the little old ken needs to realize you have to dip your hand in your pocket once in awhile for a chance of gaining success. A few managers have been in the running, Neil Warnock has been the main contender and if he was to take the club into hands it would seem promising for all Leeds fans although it would questionable whether if Leeds were to gain promotion to the Premier League would they stay there as Neil Warnock's inability to manage in the top flight has cost him dearly as manage being the reason in why he lost the job at Qpr. Former Cardiff boss Dave Jones is also in the running and it would seem a breath fresh air for Dave Jones following his frustration managing Cardiff failing to gain promotion to the Premier League on several attempts. Leeds fan would be keen for Dave to take the role as his vast experience of the Championship could be vital if Leeds were to mount a promotion challenge. Despite Sven Goran Erikson best efforts he will not manage Leeds after his application was rejected by Ken Bates, Bates said that Neil Redfearn the current caretaker manager will get three games to prove his worth. Anyhow Leeds fans won't be too concerned about Sven not getting job, they may be relived after he still couldn't mount a real title challenge with the talented squad he conjured up with Leicester resulting in him losing his job earlier this year. Current caretaker manager, Neil Redfearn could also be in the running for the job however following Leeds 2-1 defeat to Brighton at home it seems unlikely and it he will not be the Leeds fans first choice as they will want a manager with vast experience to lead them to the days of the Premier League. Whoever takes the Leeds job will have a difficult job trying to please the fans who have suffered only misery in the last 10 years and they will have long way to match the greatest Leeds manager, Don Revie.
