Michael Carrick, Manchester United head coach, and Daniel Farke, Leeds United head coach, both ahead of Elland Road
Even a slow news day at Elland Road is busier than most football clubs up and down the country.
And, honestly, who would want it any other way? You want your club to be a constant talking point, and Leeds certainly is.
Leeds are now fully preparing for Saturday's Premier League contest against Bournemouth.
With the drab Sunderland draw in the rear-view mirror, it is now time to switch focus to the Cherries.
Here, though, are the main news highlights to emerge from Leeds on Tuesday.
Daniel Farke crops up as Michael Carrick replacement suggestion
It is little secret that Michael Carrick is a man under pressure at Manchester United.
While publicly it appears he has the dreaded vote of confidence, it still feels a matter of time before he is the latest on the managerial scrapheap.
Now, it would never happen, but oddly Daniel Farke's name was put to Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes on a list of potential replacements.
Both quickly dismissed the notion in a quick fire segment on the socials of the The Good, The Bad and The Football, but it shows that Farke has plenty of admirers.

Leeds fans get glimpse of Elland Road refurb as images emerge
Elland Road is going through a major redevelopment, which will eventually see the home of Leeds turned into a 53,000-seater stadium.
One of the concerns supporters have had is maintaining the electric atmosphere from the stands at Elland Road.
However, a post shared by a user named Ryan on X showed steps taken to try and maintain the volume in the Norman Hunter South Stand.
His images showed that a safe standing section has been installed in the upper section of the stand.
Hopefully that could play its part in preserving the atmosphere once the refurb is complete.

49ers Enterprises could be blown out of the water in rich list after takeover news
49ers Enterprises have done a brilliant job in revitalising Leeds since completing their takeover at Elland Road back in 2023.
Since gaining the keys, Leeds have climbed out of the second tier and are establishing themselves in the Premier League.
However, they may face some rich competition in the Premier League, after Alax Nixon reported the Dell Family are considering a £1billion purchase of Everton.
With a reported net worth of £178bn, that would gazump the most recent projection of a £5.2bn worth of 49ers Enterprises - albeit that was back in 2025 by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
