First Leeds centre back pairing I can remember was Chris Fairclough and Chris Whyte - by no means great players, but quite a formidable partnership!!
Paul Madley was Jack Charltons stand in, and Madeley actually stood in for anyone as he was a Rolls Royce utility player. We had Greenhof, White, Bellfit ...think the question should have read recognised predominant center half
Phil Hay@PhilHayYEP 6h6 hours ago Replying to @mcbdave @YEPSportsdesk I've made enquiries about Pardew at the Leeds end. Been told unequivocally that he isn't being considered.
I really didn't want Karanka but when Pardew shot to the top of the list he doesn't seem so bad. If you were a betting man you should pile it on Pep Clotet
You're probably right, but why not just announce it, get him his assistant in and start planning for next season instead of all this ****ing about. Got to say, if it happens, I'm never convinced about a no. 2 stepping up.
