2:03pm Wednesday 1st February 2012 in Leeds By Simon Parker
Simon Grayson was this afternoon sacked as Leeds United manager.
The axe fell on his three-year reign following last night's 4-1 loss to Birmingham at Elland Road.
Chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "We have 18 games to go this season and are still within touching distance of the play-offs, but felt with the transfer window now closed we needed to make the change at this time in the belief that a new managerial team will be able to get more out of the existing squad of players and make the difference."
Former Bantam Neil Redfearn, the current Leeds youth team boss, has been put in temporary charge until a replacement is appointed.

PP is manager of month for December and for good reason. Unbeaten in six home games and getting more right than he is getting wrong but muppets like you think we should sack any manager after any disappointing result. You are the weakest link; goodbye!

Get a grip all you bradford lads that support leeds, you all screem about man utd fans been from other towns and cities but your just the same. Hope sc*m thats the real sc*m Leeds Utd collapse. You are and always have been glory supporters unlike the proper patriotic 10.000 city fans that turn up in whatever division we are in. its true and you all know it.

Trying spending some time wandering around Chapeltown and then tell me Bradford is a dump. Holbeck, Beeston and Hunslet are not exactly my idea of heaven either. Every City has it's problems but to call yourself Mr BD and then slag off the City says more about you than it does about Bradford. Loyalty and Identity are clearly not in your vocabulary. Besides, it is the fans of Leeds United that are the problem and not the City itself. Fans that pride themselves on racism, bigotry and violence and who THINK they are a big club...dream on.
