Leeds United fans want Simon Grayson, following his dismissal from Sunderland last night.

Simon Grayson, Manager of Sunderland looks on prior to the Carabao Cup Third Round match between Everton and Sunderland at Goodison Park on September 20, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

Some Leeds United fans have called for Simon Grayson to replace Thomas Christiansen.

Grayson was sacked by Sunderland last night, with a 3-3 draw with Bolton Wanderers proving the final straw.

Sunderland are currently in 23rd place in the Championship table, after what has been an awful start to the campaign.

But Grayson’s torrid time at the Stadium of Light does not appear to have put Leeds fans off.

Leeds could be looking for a new manager soon, with Thomas Christiansen under increasing pressure.

The Whites were beaten for the sixth time in seven matches, when Derby County came from behind to win 2-1 at Elland Road last night.

And some Leeds fans have now called for Grayson to come in to replace Christiansen.

Grayson’s first spell in charge at Leeds lasted for four years between 2008 and 2012.

The 47-year-old boss guided Leeds to promotion from League One, but was unable to get them out of the Championship.
