Leeds quash Hoddle rumours

Leeds United have distanced themselves from reports claiming Glenn Hoddle is set to become the club's new manager.
The former England boss is the latest in a long line of high-profile coaches to be linked with the Elland Road hot-seat, which became vacant when Kevin Blackwell was sacked last month.
Whites officials insist they are not currently in talks with anyone and that caretaker boss John Carver will remain in charge for the foreseeable future.
A statement released via the club's official website read: "It is Leeds United's policy not to comment on speculation at all.
"However, the club can categorically state that we have not spoken to any manager or potential manager, or their agents, licensed or unlicensed, directly or indirectly, since the departure of Kevin Blackwell.
"The club will be making no further comment at this stage, but would advise fans not to bet on the outcome of the next manager and instead save their money or make a small donation to the club's Academy."
