Neil Warnock has claimed that Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa "doesn't seem to have a plan B", which has drawn a frustrated response from many fans of the Yorkshire club. 

Leeds are top of the Championship as things stand and looked frontrunners for promotion before the delay to the season began.

The season is set to get back underway on the 20th of June and with nine games remaining, the Whites will be determined to ensure they don't slip up and can return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.

In an interview on talkSPORT, Warnock suggested that Leeds and West Brom would likely secure promotion but that he was concerned about Bielsa's lack of a plan b.

He said: "It is an amazing club Leeds and they'll fill the stadium in the top flight. I hope them two go back up. I think Leeds fans deserve it for all they've taken and I like West Brom as well. I hope those two can make it.

"The only thing about Leeds is you know what it's like, they're so nervous near the end and he doesn't seem to have a plan B.

"I think it's in a good position this year because I don't think there is a third team that is going to push any of them really.

"I see them two as probably the best two and I don't really see them head and shoulders above everybody else, so it's up to them. It's up to them to miss out definitely because it's in their hands now."

The 71-year-old knows a thing or two about promotion, having achieved it a record eight times in English football, but was unable to get the Whites close during his tenure.

Under the English coach, Leeds finished 14th in the 2011/12 campaign and he was then sacked in April the following season with the club just five points above the relegation zone.

Warnock's comments do not seem to have gone down well with the Elland Road faithful, with plenty of Leeds fans taking to Twitter to vent their frustration.
