Robin Dewhurst - was too young to know what he achieved but was best mates with his son at primary school.

Not read all this thread, BUT how can you judge who is the best team coach, and have McLennan in there when he is still the head coach?? He might go on to win all the trophies available for the next 10 seasons for all we know.

I was just going on achievements to date. He is at liberty to move up (or down) the list as history deems appropriate later on.

Ken Dalby was the Leeds historian.

You're thinking of Roy Francis and he'd still top any list I drew up on pure coaching genius.

Ken Dalby "coached" the Leeds team in the 50's.

But what about Ken Dolby?

The fifties were just before my time unfortunately although obviously not yours.

Still Roy Francis for mine.

Great full back at Leeds, the least said about his coaching Leeds soonest mended. He introduced Tony Binder to the club and that was a crime not easily forgiven.

Has to be Roy Francis. Don't know how his stats would have fared with Graham Murray though.

Your knowledge of the game has just been captured in just one post!!

Our current leader wouldn't even make the top ten and don't get me started on Powell!!

Did he not say he had based it on while he'd been watching?

Personally while I've been watching Leeds there isn't a top 10. Am I too to be excluded from having knowledge purely based on my age?

In either event, surely McClennan's place in any list would depend on what criteria you use? How many of those top 10 you would put ahead of him have won Championships? I'm not suggesting that league titles should be the only criterion used, but is it such a foolish one as to merit your smug laughter?
