Leeds United supporters are keen to see Simon Grayson return to Elland Road.

Simon Grayson, manager of Sunderland looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Brentford and Sunderland at Griffin Park on October 21, 2017 in Brentford, England.

Leeds United fans have called for the return of Simon Grayson, after his ruthless comments on BBC Radio Leeds yesterday.

Grayson is currently in charge at Bradford City, and he was fuming after watching his side lose 5-0 to Blackpoool.

Grayson said that his side were pathetic and suggested that a clear-out is on the cards in the summer.

And Leeds fans have been very impressed by Grayson’s comments, as they feel that ruthless edge is needed at Elland Road.

Paul Heckingbottom is now under serious pressure at Leeds, after failing to spark an improvement since taking over.

Heckingbottom has won just two matches at Elland Road, and some Leeds fans now want Grayson back to replace the former Barnsley boss.

Paul Heckingbottom Leeds manager gestures during the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Leeds United at iPro Stadium on February 21, 2018 in Derby, England.

Grayson has already had one stint in charge of Leeds between 2008 and 2012, and he enjoyed success at Elland Road.

Grayson was the manager who got Leeds back into the Championship, after years in League One.

Grayson has struggled since taking charge at Bradford, with the Bantams slipping away from the play off race.
