Grayson, nice guy, job possibly too big for him. And made many times worse by Bates. Think there are better managers around though, Freeman seems to be doing more with even less resources at Palace. Much and all as I dislike Warnock, there is something about him that may suit Leeds, he has the experience, he has the siege mentality, he'd have those players walking through brick walls to get onto the pitch at ER. It might not be pretty but it would be effective, and frankly I think Leeds fans appreciate players who roll up the sleeves and get stuck in, the 70s team was like Dulux...beautiful...but tough. Even the last title winning team was based aroundtackling and high energy, with players like Batty and Strachan buzzing around, Chapman putting his head in where other players wouldn't put their boots, and then the elegance of McAllister once the ball was won.
I think he would know that this a job bigger than any other he's had and he will never get a chance like it again, he could establish Leeds as a top flight club again...or he could strangle Ken Bates along the way...
