Javi Gracia is reportedly set to become Leeds United's manager and the club's supporters have called for him to 'crack on' with keeping them in the Premier League.
It's been a long two weeks for Whites fans who have had their club helmed, in the meantime, by interim boss Michael Skubala and whilst the 40-year-old has done a credible job of steering the ship, a permanent appointment has been a long time coming.
The appointment comes after over a dozen managers were linked with the role but none would eventually take up the board on their offers - seemingly until now with Gracia finalising the deal shortly.

Here's what Leeds United supporters had to say after the Gracia reports:
@AshyAS_ said: "About time too, as nice as Skoobs is and he's a good coach we need the experience in the manager position to keep us up. Let's hope this boosts the players confidence and gets us a much needed win at the weekend."
@Joanne_scott wrote: "Well I’m right behind him and so should all the fans be. If you support Leeds you support him. Let’s go!"
@JakeyRiley tweeted: "Let’s get behind him! Big job on his hands but he’s got form in the boom for saving a team… FA Cup final too."
@biteyerlegs70 said: "Right let’s just crack on"
@jemccudden wrote: "He has experience in keeping teams up, so fingers crossed"
@DavidGArmitage tweeted: "Not a time to be negative, he is our manager and will be until end of season as a minimum and that is our only focus. Let's get behind the new manager and the focus is Southampton at home next. Sometimes it's best to just have a decision and know where we stand and we do now."
@_Baggings said: "Not overly excited about this tbh, wanted Benitez but hopefully he can work miracles, will back him but not buzzing #lufc"
@markydh tweeted: "So Gracia it is. If you offered me a choice between him, Benitez and Nuno, I’d choose Gracia to lead our squad profile every single time #lufc"
