Venables could quit Leeds

LEEDS UNITED boss Terry Venables is refusing to nail his colours to the mast beyond this season.

Following the shock £9m departure of Jonathan Woodgate to Newcastle at the end of January, a deal which flew in the face of Venables' wishes, the 60-year-old immediately contemplated his Elland Road future.

Venables decided for the sake of the remaining players he would see out the first season of a two-year contract he signed last summer. But regardless of the rapport he seemingly has with the squad, and the faith the players have in him, Venables has no intention of looking beyond the final match of a tortuous campaign on May 11.
