 Leeds United require a replacement for Neil Warnock, with Matthew Glazier of www.bettingpro.com looking at the likely lads for the Elland Road hotseat.
Neil Warnock has admitted that he’ll be stepping down as manager of Leeds United at the end of the season, having failed to steer the west Yorkshire side into a top six Championship finish. Therefore, there will be a new face in charge come the start of next season and we look at those men who could form part of the shortlist to replace Warnock and steer the club towards the Premier League. Nigel Adkins Adkins was surprisingly axed by Southampton a couple of months ago although the former Scunthorpe physio is unlikely to be out of work for very long. He has impressive credentials after achieving a recent double promotion with a modest Saints squad, with Leeds surely wanting to interview the 48-year-old about the vacant post. Paolo Di Canio Leeds fans might be split on whether they want the 44-year-old in charge of their team, although the Italian helped Swindon Town to achieve promotion from League Two and left them in good shape when standing down a few weeks ago. He’s a firebrand of a manager but that could be what is required with the current United squad. Owen Coyle He’d potentially be a safer choice for the Elland Road board, with the Scot having done pretty well with Burnley when taking the Clarets into the Premier League before defecting to Bolton. His reign at the Reebok Stadium was a tale of two halves, having done very well before the club were relegated last season. Gareth Southgate Young football fans might not remember he was a football manager at Middlesbrough between 2006 and 2009, with the former Palace midfielder now a regular fixture as a pundit on ITV. Quite whether he’s prepared to exchange his media role and FA position to manage Leeds United remains to be seen. Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink Hasselbaink was a big hit at Elland Road during his playing days, scoring 34 goals in 69 for the Whites before leaving for Atletico Madrid. He’s done his coaching badges since then, with the Dutchman a first-team coach at Nottingham Forest until recently, perhaps he can inject new ideas into a Leeds team as they search for automatic promotion next term.

How's about tony pullis? If reports are to be believed he's unsettled at stoke and getting stick from the fans. Unbelievable they should be giving him the freedom of the city to keep such an unfashionable club in the top flight for so long with no resources is miraculous.

Of the above 5 I would go for Adkins but I would also put Poyet in the mix, did well as assistant to Wise in the -15 era and has done good job with Brighton on low budget. How about this for a candidate; Ole Gunner Solksjear! Would not be at all popular with the fans but by all accounts an astute young manager with bags of potential, ambition and drive.

Yeah look who he played for, a team that had to get £700 million in debt to achieve their success, a team that have had considerably more refereeing decisions go their way than any other team, steam given as much fergie-time as required to get a result. So get off a leeds website glory supporting scum fan!!!

Why is everyone against Di Canio? That man is a born winner, he would give our club the kick up the arse it needs, bring in exciting players and play attractive football. His interviews would be a lot more interesting than the drivel NW serves up, I swear that man is senile, he just says the same thing about 20 times every week! "Great Bunch" "Can't fault the effort" "unlucky that chance didn't go in" "strikers didn't turn up" SICK OF HIM...

How about giving me the job ? it would keep the pantomime running a bit longer. !!!!!! Adkins would be great but surely he will have options down south with a better ownership structure in place.

I think I should get the job, I have a robust portfolio covering an in depth management career from Non-league obscurity through to the champions league glory.....all achieved on various platforms ranging from Footballer of the year on the ZX Spectrum through to Fifa 13 on the Xbox......honestly I think I have what it takes and to be fair doing any worse than the current shower isn't possible!!

Adkins,Poyet, Ole Gunnar so what of Man U connection. Sick of being disappointed year on year. Warnock I thought might do it but the style of football is terrible and the in consistency is shocking.

None of them other than Ole Gunner Solksjear as the rest are on the manager merry go round and are out of work for the simple reasen they FAILED where they were simple really stop getting from the same pool and go fishing for new talent

How anyone can describe what Nigel Adkins achieved at Scunthorpe and Southampton as "failure" has clearly lost something ... whatever that may be. And to then call for Ole Gunner Solksjear to become the next Leeds manager ... that something must be his marbles.

Karl Robinson from Milton Keynes Dons. Good young manager worked with no money & made them a very good side. I agree stop going for the same managers who have failed & go for new talent with new ideas.

Adkins is the best choice for a new manager.

Adkins would be my first choice, Sean O Driscoll my 2nd choice 22/3/2013 02:42:32 am
southgate a midfielder???
Big John
22/3/2013 02:46:23 am
Southgate did start out in midfield at Palace. 22/3/2013 02:50:40 am
Fairenough i only remember him at middlesbrough and for england as a defender
Big John
22/3/2013 02:55:21 am
Not sure about him.. For me should be Mcdermott, Adkins or Poyet, can't see him coming though. 22/3/2013 03:03:07 am
any of them three would be great, must admit poyet would be my first choice but as stated very unlikely unless we can guarantee him a good war chest and keep our players

More to the point which ambitious young manager in their right mind would join Leeds? They'll have their best players sld from under their noses. They won't know if they're coming or going. They'll be constantly fed lies and half- truths by the 'owners' which they'll then have to convey to the fans with a brave face. The only reason Warnock hasn't walked out is it's probably his last big payday and we've all got a mortgage to pay. We'll end up with someone desperate to get back into the game. Hope to god it's not Southgate.

No matter who comes in, they will want to start from scratch and build their own team, which will probably just start to gel at the back end of the season, then we will be once again asking about another manager and once again the merry go round will start again. I reckon Southgate would be as good as any, but i doubt he would even give it a second thought, been the Leeds manager for some reason seems an impossible job. Leave a Reply. |
