Garry Monk has made an excellent start to life in Yorkshire, pushing Leeds United to 4th in the Championship standings and giving the Peacocks a real chance of finally securing a return to the Premier League.However, the former Swansea City boss has shared a concerning update to Leeds fans regarding his contract- as he revealed discussions over an extension are yet to start, with his current deal expiring at the end of the campaign.

Monk seems loyal to the Peacocks but fans will understandably be worried that he could be poached by a top-club this summer, particularly if Leeds fail to secure promotion, though the question marks around Massimo Cellino’s ownership and the discussions of a sale would have put a halt to any discussions.

Monk has left the door wide open for Leeds to make their move and the Peacocks will be expected to do so before the end of the season, whilst Monk is unlikely to walk away without sufficient reason.

Having finally given Leeds some stability though, it’s strange that Cellino and the board haven’t made their move to extend Monk’s deal.
