Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has warned the Whites they don't need a project they need a short-term fix to keep them in the Premier League. The club is entering a third week without a permanent manager, after parting company with Jesse Marsch following defeat to Nottingham Forest.
A whole host of names have been linked with Elland Road including a shock link with Harry Redknapp. The former Tottenham Hotspur boss has since distanced himself from the role, with Michael Skubala set to take the reins for the next few games.
Robinson says his side should be going all out to appoint Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou given his success in Scotland, but accepts the club has left it too late.

“None of the names on the list of favourites spring out," Robinson told Betfred. "Leeds don’t need a project and any manager that comes in now will find it very difficult because Marcelo Bielsa played a certain way and Jesse Marsch played that way to a certain extent with the high energy and high press, but with a different formation.
"Leeds can’t do that, they’re very one dimensional and that’s been their problem. Away from home they can’t shut up shop and play on the break. They just go all guns blazing everywhere and they get picked off. To change that style now would be a huge job.
“They need a short-term fix between now and the end of the season and then reassess where they are next year. They can’t let that football club fall into the Championship because we all know what happened last time it did.
“The one person I’d love to see come in is Ange Postecoglou from Celtic but I don’t think they’ll be able to get him as they’ve left it too late. He will want to finish the season and win trophies with Celtic, but we have seen Brendan Rodgers leave Celtic in a similar situation, even though the Leicester situation at the time was more appealing than the Leeds one is now.
"He for me is a great man-manager and you’ve seen what he’s done at Celtic, so I would love Leeds to go and get him. The longer this goes on, the worse it is for Leeds.”
