Sacked QPR boss Neil Warnock is being linked with the job at Leeds United.

The Sunday Mirror says Warnock is a ­potential successor to Simon Grayson at Leeds.

The Yorkshire club have hit a dismal run of form and the pressure is ­growing on Grayson.

He needs to turn around the club's season or ­chairman Ken Bates could well lose patience.

Warnock has something of a reputation as a ­firefighter - and has won six promotions in his ­career - more than any other manager.
