Pundit hits out at Swansea for sacking now Leeds boss.
Pundit Jamie Redknapp has told The Mail he expects Leeds boss Garry Monk could be back in the Premier League soon.
The Whites are up to third in England’s second tier, and Monk has rebuilt his reputation after being fired by Swansea City just over a year ago.

Redknapp hit out at Swansea’s decision to get rid of Monk, and said it must be a decision the club still regret.
He said: “Huw Jenkins must be kicking himself for sacking Garry Monk. The former Swansea manager is doing an unbelievable job at Leeds, where he has taken a group of good, young players to third in the Championship.
“While Paul Clement has it all to do to keep Swansea in the top flight, there is every chance we could see Monk back in the Premier League next season.”

Swansea have even had a hand in Monk’s success at Leeds, with central defender Kyle Bartley allowed to join the club on loan for the season, where he has become a key first team player.
Leeds may be in third place, but they face a tricky task to get into the top two automatic promotion spots.
Newcastle United and Brighton currently occupy these and do not currently look like relinquishing them, leaving Monk’s Leeds facing the tricky prospect of negotiating the play-offs.
