BASSETT AND McALLISTER JOINT FAVOURITES FOR LEEDS JOB

William Hill have opened a book on the identity of the next permanent manager of Leeds following the shock departure of Dennis Wise, and have installed Dave Bassett and Gary McAllister as 4/1 joint favourites. And Hills have lengthened Leeds' League One title odds from 11/2 to 6/1 and now offer Even money that they will be promoted, 8/11 that they will not. 'Leeds' recent form has been unimpressive and Wise appears to have lived up to his name by jumping ship so that he can not be blamed if they fail to achieve promotion' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
