Not that I doubted it but I went to Wikipedia to review the list of managers and was distracted by the list of "honours" - 20 of the 33 listed are as runners-up!
What, and pay the compensation? They're not made of money, especially with Zidane available.
Oh please let this be Pardew!

Weird, that was my ex's nickname for me.

I thought their new owner was going to bring sanity. Wrong.
In a highly competitive division with a raft of clubs with huge parachute income and/or owners pumping in £10m's, Leeds too need to invest in quality players to give them a good chance of top 6.
No manager will get them up without winners in the squad.

Allardyce - I'll put money on it
will he not simply wait for his yearly 6 months work stopping a Premier League side being relegated and then get a Huge pay out. Actually how Leeds hire and fire managers he could probably do both this coming season

That hadn't occurred to me, but I think Leeds United are just about still big enough to tempt Big Sam to get a project of his own going without doing another short-term rescue job - extremely lucrative as they seem to be. He can still live in the North too.

"You plonker, Rodney!"
I think Billy Bremner was managing them. Another great player who was crap at managing. Look out Stevie Gerrard and possibly Frank Lampard. Two big challenges ahead.

Absolutely this ! Leeds are a shambles and appointing Pardew would be a perfect match ! Hope it happens !

On his last warning
No, we never beat Leeds during the Goldstone's last season. Pretty sure we drew to them 4-4.

Bloody hope they don’t get Bielsa. Think that maybe it’s a bit late for him.

Bremner got the boot the week after we beat them.

You can add Bobby Charlton to the list
I got a load of abuse from Leeds fans on Twitter last night as I questioned why their fans were booing Man Utd players as they're surely not rivals anymore and they'd be better off booing John Stones as he's ex Barnsley.
Anyway, some of their responses were hilarious. Some of the gems:
We will go bust. Apparently OUR owners (Tony Bloom!), sees us as a 'short term play thing like many other teams with a small club mentality';
'We'd 'do anything to be Leeds';
Our fans are deluded and we're 'entirely reliant on a sugar daddy' and they look forward to us crying when we go bust;
We're in £170m of debt;
Our rivalry with Palace is the worst in the country and totally irrelevant;
And we're 'a tiny, plastic, irrelevant little club'.
The delusion is real people!
