Leeds First Season Manager March Update

This update is a bit late but it’s worth doing just for reference for next seasons new manager

These are the first FULL season survivors as managers of Leeds United and Neil Warnock for interest and how they fared to the end of March of their respective first seasons.

This wasn’t pleasant to produce and as the title says its only showing March results. On the bright side six managers have fared worse than McDermott to the end of March including Don Revie Unfortunately he could still finish below all but Allan Clarke and we know what happened to him.

Neil Warnock had only one game left after March ended and he’s going to win that mini battle as Mc Dermott needs get to 61 points just to match Warnocks points per game total. Fourteen more points THAT MEANS FIVE WINS OUT OF LAST FIVE GAMES, as we all know whats gone on in the first three games of the April edition
