Terry Venables was tonight still Leeds manager despite the club's plc board ignoring his pleas not to sell Jonathan Woodgate to Newcastle.

Venables categorically stated last week he would consider his future if Woodgate was allowed to leave.

But Leeds have gone ahead and agreed a Stg£9million fee for the England international centre-back.

And the 60-year-old former England manager tonight refused to confirm whether he is to remain in charge at Elland Road.

When asked, as he left Leeds' Thorp Arch training complex, whether he would be staying, Venables replied: "There's a press conference tomorrow."

Leeds have switched Venables' customary pre-match media conference from Thorp Arch to Elland Road, with a 12.45 p.m. start.
