Gary McAllister is the latest managerial casualty of this football season as boss of sleeping giants Leeds United.
Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has taken action against their dip in form and sacked manager Gary McAllister after an 18 month spell.
Leeds, currently in ninth position in Coca Cola League One are in danger of drifting away from promotion with a 15 point gap between leaders Leicester City and themselves. After losing 4 consecutive matches including falling out of the FA Cup when losing against non-league Histon, McAllister looked vulnerable with Bates looking for quick results. It is expected that a new manager will be recruited quickly to give the new leader some time in the transfer window to strengthen the squad.
Ex assistant coach Gus Poyet has been strongly linked for obvious reasons as he was supposed to be instrumental in Leeds' success under Dennis Wise before departing for Tottenham Hotspur. Aidy Boothroyd has also been linked with the position.

It's about time this joker got his marching orders. Anyone who can't get the mighty Leeds United into at least the play off positions in the first division really needs to go. Leeds need a quality leader with proven experience to get them on the ladder back up to the premiership. Who they will go for, I do not know!!
It's sad that at Leeds games they still chant we hate Chelsea. Maybe cos they're now doing so well?
