He said in the Sunday Mirror: "I don't want to talk about that with the players. The main thing is to beat Liverpool. If we play to our strengths we can win. The financial problems have been going on for some time. But it's clear that what happens financially to the club is dependent on whether we are in the Premiership or the Nationwide next season."
According to a Leeds source, there is a 50-50 chance of the club going into administration over the coming days. The source said: "Our acting chairman Trevor Birch is happy about the rescue package proposed by a Yorkshire consortium. He wants to do the deal but there are complications involving some of the creditors. Trevor will use this week to conclude a deal."
