Yep, they’re my top 6 but slightly different bottom order:

Revie (reason = obvious).
Wilko (main reason = top-flight championship).
Bielsa (main reason = promotion to premiership).
Armfield (main reason = European Cup final).
O'Leary (main reason = Champions league semi-final).
Grayson (main reason = promotion to 2nd tier).

For me Grayson nudges it for being successful under that utter c***.

And also giving us FA Cup win at OT and draws at Arsenal and Spurs, on what must have been one of the most meagre budgets.

Wilkinson one of the most underrated managers in the history of English football. A visionary and rightly regarded as a Leeds legend.

It wouldn't hurt the club to designate an area to rightly acknowledge Howard Wilkinson's magnificent contribution to the history of Leeds United by way of a statue and let's face his role of honour for Leeds is hardly going to be repeated in most of our life times.

Yep. Did anyone ever eat in that awful Howard’s at ER? (editor's note: not awful because of anything Wilko did😁).

Just feel fortunate I got to speak to him at Wembley after we beat Liverpool 4-3 in Charity Shield game.

I was there, brilliant day, lucky you....he's looking very frail now.

....Wee Gordons own goal was one of the most bizarre things I've ever see.(Also got to speak to Hat trick man Eric.)
