Watching my wife ever trying to pick a runner to back in the Grand National is painful, in fact it is beyond painful. It is 100%, full-on hesitancy and dithering – as is waiting for her to decide what pizza she wants.

In a way, it is a bit like that with the situation at Elland Road. There’s dithering and choices aplenty as target, after prospective candidate, following favourite after challenging for the job that all of these want.

It is getting confusing. First there are bookmakers making out that Aitor Karanka is running up the stairs at Elland Road with pen in hand to sign as a first favourite at odds of 11/10, then 1/4 and now out at 5/1. Claudio Ranieri came dancing in as second favourite and got as low as 3/1 with some online bookmakers, now he’s nowhere to be seen near the top and is at odds of 7/1.

Lurking in the background was Leeds United assistant boss Pep Clotet at odds of around 14/1 at one stage. Where is he now? He’s the current favourite for his former boss Garry Monk’s job at odds of 10/11 on. Really, it’s like watching the missus choose a Grand National runner or pizza toppings.

Then just as it seems that it could be Clotet, up pops Spaniard Juande Ramos. This has led many Leeds fans on Twitter to ask Juande Who? Junade How?

Not all Leeds United fans are this enamoured on the rumoured possibility that Ramos is the best, or even a half-decent shout as Leeds United manager. There are definitely some that don’t see his DV as being up to scratch for the Elland Road job.

I am not liking juande Ramos rumour #lufc — Frank (@frankwalsh151) June 2, 2017

Whatever comes of this Juande Ramos rumour, whether he is chosen or goes back into the tombola, there’s at least one consolation for Leeds fans. It was around this time last year that they chose Garry Monk, that turned out alright…well for a season at least.

In the world of choosing Grand National winners and pizza toppings – Juande Ramos is now a clear second favourite at 7/2 behind Pep Clotet’s leading 10/11 on – even Ranieri is edging back in at 5/1, coming in from 7/1 just 20 minutes ago when I started writing this up.

Addendum: just as I was about to publish, here’s the latest odds for the top three – Pep Clotet 5/4, Claudio Ranieri 7/2, Juande Ramos 5/1. Pizza choices I tell you.
