Gordon Strachan favourite to be new Leeds manager.
Who else thinks he would be mad? OK Southampton may not be as big a club as Leeds but they are currently sitting 10th in the Premiership with Leeds firmly rooted at the bottom and strong favs to be relegated.

If he's prepared to go down with them and help rebuild the club, fair enough. Maybe the new backers they're talking about can help but I can't see it changing anything this season.
They've had two good managers in Venebles & Reid and they couldn't do much so I doubt Strachan would have much luck.
What about Howard Wilkinson? Legend!
The speculation is that Strachan is coming but there is a guy with a lot of money helping with his compensation and injecting money into the club. If this is true (which I hope it is) then there is still hope yet for Yorkshires Number 1 club
Having lost 2-0 at home to Bolton, I'd say that "only" if a very big word in that sentence.
If I was a Leeds fan, I'd be very worried about the direction which you are going. Down seems to be the only way at the moment...
As a United fan, I couldn;t be happier of course.
BTW Strachan would be a mug to take this job on. He is currently working for a good Southampton team, who have little or no apparent finance problems - so why move?
Why would Strachan move to Leeds??
1) Because he loves the club
2) It is a challenge
3) With financial backing he could be the one who makes Leeds a success again.
4) He's being at southampton 3-4yrs?? and unless you are a very successful club, managers don't stay much longer anyway so he will be moving on soon, so why not take the challnege up at Leeds (a club he loves).
If there is no financial backing then yes he would be stupid to move, but if there is then why not. He could be the saviour of Leeds and cos he loves the club so much why wouldn't he want to be labelled as "the man who saves Leeds"???
thought that was Boro
