So who do the bookies think is in the frame to be Gary Mac's successor?

Understandably Gus Poyet is odds on favourite at 5/6, according to OLBG sports - the man from Uruguay was in the crowd on Saturday at MK Dons - galvanising the speculation that he is coming back a year after going to Tottenham.

At 5-1 is Aidy Boothroyd, recently departed from Watford. At 7-1 you could put your money on Billy Davies, who has not worked since his rollercoster ride at Derby. John Sheridan, who has worked wonders at Oldham on a budget and is a former Leeds hero of course is also available at sevens.

Simon Grayson is in the running at 8-1, but would he want to drop a Division and leave the relative security of life by the seaside at Blackpool to come to Elland Road - where he began his career as a youngster.

The longshots include Dennis Wise (10-1)!!! What about Leeds being Iain Dowie's seventh club? (12-1) or also at 12-1 you can have Joe Royle, currently managing in the Middle-East but at expert at getting clubs such as Oldham and Manchester City up the Divisions.
