Brought up in Royston, Barnsley - being a Barnsley fan - he’s admitted he hates Leeds United.
So only 2 reasons to go there:
1) he doesn’t like what’s happened at Barnsley - could that be something to do with the January Transfer Window?
2) he has an inclination that he is likely to get the sack.
So he’s jumped ship to pick up a big wage - and a pay off because he knows he’s likely to be sacked at Leeds in less than a year.
