Leeds United are currently in 14th place in the Championship table.
Danny Mills has told Sky Sports News, which was broadcast on 20th October, that Massimo Cellino has been very clever by offering Leeds United fans a refund on their season-tickets if they fail to make it into the play offs.
Leeds offered the incentive in an attempt to drive up attendances at Elland Road.
Leeds fans have been starved of success in recent years, and Mills feels that Cellino has been clever by offering Whites supporters the chance of monetary compensation should this season be another disappointment.
“The expectation is level is huge,” Mills said. “The owner has been very clever this year. If they don’t get into the play offs you get half your season ticket money back. It’s a great incentive.”
As things stand, Cellino will be paying back a large amount of money at the end of the season, as Leeds are in 14th place.
However, the Whites have shown some promising signs in recent weeks.
Leeds may not have won either of their last two matches, but before that Monk had led his side to victory in five of their previous six outings.
And Mills is hoping that Monk is given more time than any other manager that Cellino has appointed during his time at the helm.
“It’s difficult for Garry Monk,” the former Leeds defender added. “Leeds fans want to be back in the Premier League and they expect that. It’s still a rebuilding process. I hope Monk gets time, at least two or three seasons, to rebuild that football club.”
Leeds are next in action this weekend, when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
