Potential Leeds boss will be embarrassed by comments made last year

Steve Evans might regret comments he made about the Leeds United job last year.

The former Rotherham manager has been strongly linked with the Elland Road hotseat following Uwe Rosler’s sacking, but he might need to patch things up with owner Massimo Cellino first.

“I pick the players, whether they come, whether they go and our chairman supports that. The minute he doesn’t support it, I go,” Evans told the Yorkshire Post before his Rotherham side played Leeds last season.

“But if you work for Massimo Cellino, you coach the players and get the results from the players he brings in or you pay with your job, that is the way it is,” Evans added.

But the Scot did admit he had a “huge amount of respect” for Cellino for reviving Leeds fortunes.

We don’t anticipate Cellino changing his style any time soon, so will Evans be willing to compromise?
