Personally think we should bring back Rafa and Steve Bruce. This will ensure we solidify the 12th position for this season and future seasons.
Get them in now. They both know the players. Split the budget in half and they spend their half on who they want.
I also think we should give Howe a chance as well. I would start off with Rafa playing defensive football and keeping it tight for first 45mins and then bring on Howe to attack for 2nd 45. If we score early in 2nd half bring Rafa back to hold on for a 1-0 win. Bruce could do the half time refreshments and post match interviews.
If Rafa was here then this defence would be shored up and Leeds wouldn't score If Steve Bruce was here then ASM would put some effort in and we'd score Rafa+Bruce=Win
