    So now we know why we strung out Ph's departure. From the Mirror ...

    Leeds make saving on Hecky sack
    Leeds waited until Friday to sack manager Paul Heckingbottom – and, in doing so, saved themselves £500,000.

    The Championship club, who have fired nine managers in four years, axed former Barnsley boss Heckingbottom after just 16 games in charge.

    A clause inserted in the Yorkshireman’s contract enabled Heckingbottom, who had gone on holiday fearing the worst, to a £1million pay-off if he was dismissed before the beginning of June.

    After that, his compensation would be halved to £500,000 – the amount he will now receive as Leeds look to appoint former Argentina and Chile boss Marcelo Bielsa.

    Aye, but the point is that if we sacked him before we did, it would be £1.5m all in, not £1m!

    Makes you realise what a cash cow football has become. Half a million for being utterly useless at your job. Unbelievable. Half a lifetimes hard graft for many

    Also makes me wonder what kind of money and bonuses orta and Kinnear are on. Even more staggering I’ll bet. Fair play to them all though, great gigs

    It’s hardly that... and it did cost me the big house here.
    Two small houses instead of one moderately big one...
    WJs new pad would buy both of mine, nor forgetting Marcos owns half of Cambridgeshire and Essex with an estate stretching from Newmarket to the river Thames.

    Crikey! Must be wee hoosies, as mine only cost £212k - a snip in Wetherby. :D

    Not as good a bargain as my youngest's, though. He bought a spacious 2 bed flat near the city centre in Leeds. Good area, yet only £91k. Takes him 15 mins to walk to his work in the Headrow.
