Paul Heckingbottom has made a slow start to life at Elland Road and Leeds United fans are already discussing potential replacements.
It says a lot about how badly things have been going for Paul Heckingbottom at Leeds United that any manager with a connection to Elland Road has been the subject of a discussion among supporters on social media.
Heckingbottom was appointed to replace Thomas Christiansen in February but Leeds have actually regressed since his arrival and a 2-1 win against Bolton on Friday, just his second in nine games, is not enough to convince some supporters that he is the right man for such a huge job.
And with the former Leeds favourite Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink now back on the job market, the Elland Road faithful have been discussing the prospect of him making an emotional return to West Yorkshire.
Hasselbaink looked like an exciting up and coming manager when he guided Burton Albion to the League Two title in 2015 and started their ascent up the Football League. A disappointing 11 month spell at QPR tainted his reputation somewhat, however, and the Dutchman now finds himself out of a job again after being sacked by Northampton Town.
The Cobblers won just 10 of his 42 games in charge and he leaves less than a third of the way through his three-year contract with the club stuck in the League One relegation zone.
So no wonder the idea of Hasselbaink returning to Leeds has been met with a mixed response from fans.
