The Championship club parted company with Paul Heckingbottom today, less than four months after his arrival at Elland Road.

The former Barnsley boss replaced Thomas Christiansen at the start of February.

He's the latest in a long list:

Neil Warnock served for just over a year, before leaving in April 2013, and his successor Brian McDermott lasted only until May of the following year.

David Hockaday and Darko Milanic also departed before 2014 was out, Neil Redfearn lasted barely six months and Uwe Rosler's sacking made it four completed reigns inside 16 months.

Steve Evans lasted seven months, Garry Monk nearly a year and Christiansen served from June 2017 to February 2018, while Heckingbottom was in charge for just 115 days.

Historically the club is no stranger to its' managers leaving abruptly after a short stint in charge at Elland Road, the most famous example being Brian Clough's 44-day reign which depicted in the film The Damned United.

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has again blamed Network Rail for ongoing problems on Northern rail services, which operate across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, after the RMT called for him to quit.

He said Network Rail was "too late in finalising planned timetable changes", which have caused widespread problems since they were introduced on 20 May.

The RMT's general secretary Mick Cash said the minister should "get out" and described the situation as "carnage".

Since 18 May, Northern has aborted 2,200 services.

Northern has not been able to confirm suggestions an emergency timetable would be introduced next week.

A spokesman for the company said "no decision" had been made but it was looking at a "number of options" to address the problems.

The aircraft was being flown by North Yorkshire's Lord Lieutenant Barry Dodd CBE when it crashed and caught fire near Boroughbridge on Wednesday.

There were no other passengers onboard the Bell 206B helicopter, which took off from nearby Husthwaite.

Dr Maurice Ellis was the first specialist in emergency medicine in the UK, Leeds Civic Trust said.

The owner of a martial arts club in Rotherham says he's losing sleep over its future as the new owner of the building plans to demolish it.

John Ball set up the Martial Arts Centre on Domine Lane 30 years ago with his redundancy money.

He says they've been left in limbo for a long time and there's still no sign of being offered a new home for the club after the council sold the building to a developer.

Rotherham Council said it and the new owners are working with the club to try to identify a suitable venue elsewhere.

Police in Huddersfield have closed Bradford Road for what they describe as a "major incident".

The road is closed in at least one direction, officers said.

Leeds United head coach Paul Heckingbottom has been sacked from the club after just four months and 16 games in charge.

In a statement, the club said he came to Leeds during a "difficult period in the season" and had "conducted himself in an exemplary manner despite results not going as any of us had hoped".

To be fair on Heckingbottom, I think he recognised very quickly what a lot of the fans saw: that a lot of the players aren't good enough for Championship life.

What I felt that he did do for Leeds, on the positive side, was to bring in a few players who either hadn't been in the first team set-up, had been left out or were stagnating.

He made them into players who looked like they can cope with life in the Championship.

Police have now made two arrests over a stabbing in Mexborough yesterday which left a 22-year-old man with serious injuries.
