(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 02, 2012 ) London, UK -- Former QPR manager Neil Warnock is the overwhelming bookmakers favourite to take over the vacant post at Leeds United following the sacking of Simon Grayson according to free bets website writer David Walker.
Grayson had been in charge at Elland Road for three years but mixed form this season left the club in tenth place, three points away from the play-off places.
During his first season in charge, Leeds won their final 11 home matches of the season to equal a 40-year-old record set by Done Revie but lost out in the play-offs to Millwall.
The 2009-10 season under Grayson was more successful. He guided United to a second place finish in League One – winning promotion to the Championship and also recorded a famous victory against Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.
It looked as though Leeds would make the Championship play-offs last season but a run of poor form saw the club finish in seventh place.
“It could well be that Neil Warnock is soon back in employment”, said Walker, “he's just the sort of manager Leeds need”.
“Warnock is an expert at getting clubs promoted to the Premier League – he did it with both Sheffield United and QPR and is the sort of no-nonsense manager that can get a set of underachieving players firing on all cylinders."
“He is not always a popular manager among fans, but he gets the job done” added Walker."

Other names mentioned include a host of former Leeds players such as Gordon Strachan, Gary Kelly, Gary McAllister, Lucas Radebe and even Vinnie Jones and Eric Cantona.
