Speed has been one of the favourites to succeed Roberto Martinez at the club over the past week and even his manager Kevin Blackwell has admitted he would not stand in the Welshmans way, should he decide to take his first full managerial position , he told The Yorkshire Post, “We would never deny anyone an opportunity to further their career – and, if Gary feels that this would, we won't stand in his way.”

With the prospect of buying out the remainder of Speed's 12 month contract at Sheffield United the paper have also claimed that compensation for the midfielder could be in the region of £500,000.
