    Can't see him going there after just signing the new contract and bringing his choice of players in... I'd expect Leeds to go for someone like Bilic.
    In fact if you go post on the Leeds forum that Bilic is in in the running and seen in Leeds, watch the bookies and journos jump on it and make him favourite..lol

    It's a strange feeling this, l wasn't calling for his head at the weekend, stayed off the board after QPR game but l can honestly say that I'm not really fussed if he departs.

    Look at their list of recent permanent managers though, Christiansen, Monk, Evans, Rosler, Redfearn, Milanic, Hockaday, McDermott.... none of them have been big name, hugely successful "name" managers.

    Lower league journeyman might be exactly the kind of fellow we end up appointing. No guarantee I know but I have no happy memories of the honeymoon period- total reassembled squad- bad run- sacked cycle of previous years.

    Wonder if Hecky will get Tommy Wright in as his sidekick.

    Looks ominous this but I hope he doesn't leave.

    Let's just hope loyalty shines through here, that's all I'm saying.

    Not got a clue. Don’t see why he wouldn’t though if the moneys right.

    He could be 1-2 games off the sack here and if that’s happens he’s probably looking at a Rotherham or Scunny for his next job.

    He does well at Leeds and he’ll be good for 1-2 more jobs at least at this level or above.

    It's so crazy isn't it? Everyone was pretty much unanimous this summer that we'd struggle with the players we had recruited and that the January window was going to be incredibly important to our survival. The window only closed 3 days before our last match, two really if you count the fact that signings were going on until very late in the evening on the 31st and we had a match on the 3rd. Hecky's had 2 days to work with the new players and yet people are wanting him gone. Give him until the summer, even if we get relegated, to see what he can do. Then it's time to stop and assess but not right now when everyone knew it was pretty much impossible to stop up with the players we started the season with.

    Reyt. Not posted much but been reading everything on here and felt compelled to post. I don’t want Hecky gone but there’s a reason that he’s been linked with the Sunderland, Forest and now Leeds jobs.

    There’s no smoke without fire and it’s likely agent driven but that agent will only act if they think their client is interested, surely?

    Our poor form only started around the time of the Sunderland speculation I think (don’t know
    Exact dates) but before then we had reasonable results.

    Is this constant linking of our manager with other jobs having the same effect that It had at Watford?

    Makes ya wonder!

    If he takes the job, given the state of that club he's neither the man nor manager I thought he was and I'm not bothered if he leaves.

    Sky reporting the Leeds owner is flying back from China, then posted quotes from Hecky pre our game with Leeds where he said about being either Leeds or Barnsley where he was from. Us hating them, them hating us. That'll make it spicy!

    BBC reporting it. Must have some legs I'm afraid. Was gonna happen at some point. Leeds will probably quadruple his salary.

    Id agree with that. I think and hope he's better than that, given all hes said about Leeds - but more fool me if hes gone.

    Far more secure jobs than Leeds will come up in the near future. Keep us up and he'll be in for those and a hero. Take us down and he'll be in charge of his boyhood club.

    Plenty of reasons to turn down Leeds, not least the expectations and lack of respect from the fans before his name plaque's on the door.

    Saying this all in hope more than anything cos I'll be seriously demoralised if Hecky goes.
