Whites caretaker putting first team's needs first
Leeds United caretaker boss Neil Redfearn is concentrating all his efforts on preparing the club's first team and not speculation over their vacant managerial position.
The club are on the lookout for a new man at the helm following Simon Grayson's sacking and Redfearn has been entrusted with looking after the team until a long-term successor can be appointed.
Redfearn, who had been looking after the club's youth team, is not being distracted by ongoing speculation amid reports fans are looking for a high-profile manager to replace Grayson.
A number of names have been linked with the Elland Road hot-seat, however, Redfearn is none the wise regarding who will ultimately be asked by the club's hierarchy.
Speculation
"The bottom line is no-one knows. You can speculate as much as you want but no-one knows," Redfearn commented regarding Leeds' vacant managerial position.
"Only the powers that be know which direction the club are going to go in. I've been asked to do a job and haven't looked beyond that. It's a real honour to be in charge of the club for whatever length of time.
"I can understand that some fans may want a big name or a high-profile name. But whoever comes in or does the job, I firmly believe it's not about the manager. It's about the players and that will always be the case.
"The manager sets things up, but once you come to 3pm on a Saturday then it's about the 11 players on the pitch."
