    Looks like Monk has used us as a stepping stone for something bigger
    I feel quite used and abused

    If you want consistency then surely Clotet is a good call. Otherwise my pick from that lot would have to be Pearson

    Karanka is the clear odds-on favourite for the Leeds job, and it would certainly make some sense given that the Yorkshire Evening Post report that new Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani plans to appoint a Technical Director, with Victor Orta the leading candidate.

    Karanka and Orta worked closely together at Middlesbrough, and a reunion would certainly make some sense given Radrizzani's plan for a Technical Director, as Orta's prior rapport with Karanka would mean few problems between director and manager.

    Just seen Hockaday at 66/1 that should be 66,000/1

    Strange no odds for Clotet yet there are for Beattie

    Fancy another ex-swans manager? Bob Bradley's not doing much at the moment.

    Shocked.!!!! He feels he wont get enough funds and backing from the new owners after a meeting and that hinders his goal of taking Leeds back to the premiership....That is fair enough at the end of the day....He will be a manager in demand i suppose now and Boro would be my guess......Still a shock though...

    Yes he has - and had to re-issue it to the press as Leeds United would not put it on their website

    Garry Monk's statement in full

    It is with huge disappointment that my time at Leeds United has come to an end.

    My intention was always to remain at Leeds and I saw myself at this fantastic club for many years to come. However, ultimately no agreement could be reached.

    After discussions with the new owner, we have unfortunately been unable to agree a suitable way for us to all move forward together.

    Working at such a huge and historic club as Leeds United has been a true honour and myself and staff put our all into what was an excellent season.

    It was a campaign in which we were set the objective of improving things across the board on the field, in the wake of what have been a difficult few years for the club.

    I believe that we managed not only to considerably improve our results, but I would also like to think we gave the loyal Leeds United fans and the city of Leeds a team and a club of which they can once again feel proud.

    Hopefully and I'm sure that the many foundations we have put in place here can be built upon and it's my desire to see this amazing club back in the Premier League, where it belongs.

    I would like to thank all of the players, who have been a real privilege to work with every day. They are on the right track to become very successful and boast the potential to be top players for this club, of that I have no doubt.

    I'd like to thank all the staff at the club. First and foremost, my first-team staff, I am very grateful for the hard work and commitment you put in to last season.

    I also wish to thank the staff at the Academy, Thorp Arch, Elland Road and the matchday personnel at the stadium, who have all made myself and my family feel most welcome.

    I'd like to thank both Massimo Cellino and Andrea Radrizzani. Particular thanks go to Massimo, who helped bring me and my staff to this tremendous football club. I would also like to wish Andrea good luck and success during his tenure as the Leeds United owner.

    Last but most definitely not least, I'd like to give my thanks and express my appreciation to all the supporters. You are amazingly loyal and passionate. The support you have offered me makes me feel immensely proud.

    I will always cherish those amazing atmospheres you created at Elland Road last season and the complete takeovers of opposition grounds, with thousands of you travelling to every game. Your unbelievable support is deserving of a place amongst the elite and belongs in the Premier League.

    Finally, I'd like to wish Leeds United and everyone associated with the club a very successful future.

    Watching Sky Sports just moments ago, they are saying Monk feels the club were only looking to keep him for a year.

    Either someone is telling porkies or twisting the truth.

    Just my opinion... I would imagine Radz wanted to use the 12 month option and see how things went before sitting down and sorting out a longer contract, Monk wanted that three year one and big wage increase right from the start
