Leeds United supporters react to Steven Gerrard becoming favourite for managerial vacancy

Leeds United supporters have been reacting to the news that Steven Gerrard is now the bookmakers' favourite for the managerial vacancy.

The Whites are without a head coach following relegation from the Premier League. Sam Allardyce's short, four-game spell in charge ended earlier this month and the search is now underway for a permanent successor. A clutch of names have been linked with the post and today saw ex-Rangers and Aston Villa chief Gerrard shoot to the top of the bookies' list.

Gerrard's odds tumbled from 16/1 down to 4/1 following the Whites' relegation and the Liverpool legend is now - at the time of writing - the joint-favourite with Bet365 at 9/4 alongside Daniel Farke to get the job, with word coming out this week from sources close to Gerrard that suggested he was confident of landing the role.
