It is just over three years since Paul Heckingbottom became the manager of Leeds. He lasted only four months before being replaced by Marcelo Bielsa but, outwardly at least, has no hard feelings. “It was the right club at the wrong time,” said Heckingbottom, as he prepared to return to Elland Road in interim charge of Sheffield United, seeking his first win since replacing Chris Wilder. At the start of the season who could have imagined the Blades would be Championship bound and grounds would still be empty by the time this Yorkshire derby took place? Louise Taylor
