' Massimo Cellino taking a step back '
Leeds owner Massimo Cellino owner is facing a 12-month fan from football by the FA for breaching agent rules over the sale of Ross McCormack to Fulham in 2014.
The obvious result of this is that Cellino will be forced to take a step back from the running of the club.
The Italian entrepreneur has famously had 43 managers in 24 years across his time in charge of Leeds and Italian side Cagliari, and Monk is Cellino's seventh Leeds manager in under four years.
But the signs are good for Monk, just three more matches in charge will see him outlast each of his five predecessors in the Elland Road hotseat.
However he may not be in the dugout for the visit of Cardiff after the FA charged him over his altercation with Huddersfield boss David Wagner last weekend.
' FINANCES '
Although not big spenders by the Championship's hugely inflated transfer fees, Leeds have been able to spend in the last two transfer markets.
Roofe joined Leeds for £3m in the summer
In the summer they picked up exciting Oxford forward Kemar Roofe for £3m and striker Marcus Antonsson for £1.6m. While Lewis Cook, Luke Ayling, Marcus Antonsson, Liam Bridcutt and Eunan O'Kane all joined for undisclosed fees.
Include the permanent signing of Jansson in January, and Leeds have in all likelihood spent over £10m in the last two windows.
Contrast that with Cardiff, who having backed former managers Russell Slade and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the transfer market with mixed results, have tightened the purse strings and been forced to rely mostly on loan signings and snapping up free agents.
