Former Watford captain Troy Deeney has already warned Leeds United players that their fines system could quickly change under potential new manager Javi Gracia.
The Spaniard has become the latest bookies' favourite for the role at Elland Road and is believed to be one of two names on the shortlist for the Whites.
The links come after former manager Jesse Marsch was sacked by the board two weeks ago following a string of poor results which eventually culminated in a 1-0 loss to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest.

But in the 14 days since his departure, the Whites have slipped four places down the Premier League table and into the bottom three for the first time this season under interim boss Michael Skubala after the 1-0 loss to Everton last weekend.
With Leeds currently threatened by relegation back down into the Championship, and a huge 'six-pointer' clash against bottom-of-the-league Southampton this weekend, Gracia's appointment at the start of the week could be the bounce the club needs to pick itself up off the canvas.
But Deeney has warned Leeds players of Gracia's strict rules when it comes to tardiness - and claims that it'll make them all get into line quickly.
"This year the gaffer took charge of how much the fines were," the now-Birmingham City striker told BBC Radio 5 Live back in 2018.
"He's made it so all the fines are very steep this year and no one is really messing about to be fair so I think everyone likes their money too much.
"The worst one is £100 a minute for being late. You could be on the M25 and you're sitting there for 35 minutes and its clocking up very quickly."
