Leeds United striker Alan Smith has admitted that he doesn't know if he will see out the end of the season at Elland Road. With Manchester United and Newcastle chasing the England ace, Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live:

"I don't know what the future holds for myself because of the financial situation. I've thought about it and I still don't know where I stand.

"You hear people say they'll never sell you, and then others saying they are going to have to, but if you go into administration who knows what happens.

"At the minute I'm doing as much as I can on the field and trying the best as I can for Leeds, but what the future holds, I don't think anybody really knows. It's out of my hands."

He also said, "We've sold good players - and there are good players here - but for the foreseeable future Leeds United is going to be a middle of the road team. We have to appreciate it.

"But you find yourself wondering what went wrong. When people speak to you, you don't really know.

"Players were sold without any question. When you look at the players that have passed through the club, it was a team that was able to win a championship and that's wrong.

"But we're the ones that have to pick up the pieces now and try and start building again. We're going to have to cope with the situation we're in."
