Leeds United are currently in 14th place in the Championship table.

Leeds United fans have reacted angrily to Paul Heckingbottom’s suggestion on BBC Radio West Yorkshire that he will only be given a mid-table budget next season.

Heckingbottom has won just one of his first eight matches in charge at Elland Road, and failed to spark an improvement.

And the former Barnsley boss has suggested that big changes will need to be made at Leeds next season, if they are to be in the top six, as they won’t have a great deal of funds to spend.

“As people they have been good and the response has been good,” he said. “We are going to have to do a lot of things better next season if we are going to try and get in that top 6 especially if we are going to have a mid-table budget”

Leeds supporters have now become frustrated with Andrea Radrizzani, with most suggesting that he needs to invest more money.

Leeds have some of the most expensive season tickets in the division, and they have also raised big money for some of their key stars.

The Whites are stuck in 14th place in the Championship table currently, and have not played top tier football since 2004.

Leeds fans are desperate to see their side back in the Premier League, but it seems that they will not be spending their way to promotion.

Leeds’ current focus will be on the remainder of this campaign, with their next match coming against Manchester City.
