bet365 have opened their Championship sack race market and Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell tops the list as the 11/2 favourite.
The firm's spokesman Steve Freeth said: "Leeds fell at the final hurdle last season and you get the feeling that Kevin Blackwell will have to hit the ground running, such are the expectation levels at Elland Road.
"The locals are already questioning whether Blackwell is the right man for the job after a couple of embarrassing pre-season defeats, and you wonder how patient Ken Bates will be if Leeds take that poor form into their Championship campaign."
Bryan Robson and Mike Newell come next at 8/1 while Steve Bruce is a 10/1 shot.

As if that would ever happen, (if it did he'd be there less than a week before a fist fight would break out between him and Ellis. I can't think of two people that would probably get on less than those two).
