Simon Jordan explodes at Andrea Radrizzani after what he did at Leeds United - MOT Leeds News 30/5/23

Simon Jordan has exploded at Andrea Radrizzani after naming the Leeds United owner one of the worst in the entire Premier League after relegation.

The talkSPORT host admitted it was “ridiculous” for the Italian to label the chances of relegation as impossible, with Leeds now confirmed to be in the Championship next season.

With the 49ers Enterprises still lining up to finalise their takeover, Radrizzani may not be in the building by the time the new season starts at Elland Road.

Speaking on talkSPORT’s YouTube channel in his One 2 One section, Jordan could not believe what Radrizzani had done over the past year.

“Who’s in contention for worst owner of the season?” he said. “It depends what you measure it by.

“If you’re measuring it by bad decisions and agendas that aren’t the best for the football club, you’re probably looking at Leeds because you’ve got an owner who at the start of the season was laughing with fans that there was no danger of relegation.

“It’s a ridiculous observation, impossible I think the quote attributed to Radrizzani was and here they are.”

Embarrassing.

Radrizzani had the world in his hands after our first season back in the Premier League, but two years later and all of that has been thrown away.

Leeds had just finished ninth in their first season back, with the likes of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips in the heart of the side, but Marcelo Bielsa was not backed appropriately, and we have now paid the price.

Jesse Marsch, Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce have been shocking appointments, and the 49ers Enterprises are now facing a complete rebuild instead.

A new manager, a new boardroom and a new squad will likely need to be put together across the next two months before the Championship season kicks off.

Radrizzani and Victor Orta especially never knew when to keep their mouths shut, and they embarrassed not only themselves but the club as well.

It is time to start again, and hopefully, the 49ers run the club in a way we can be proud of.

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

Leeds United full-time apology, wantaway man's tunnel appearance and off-camera Villarreal moments — YEP 3/8/25

By Graham Smyth The YEP’s verdict and off-camera moments from Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Villarreal at Elland Road in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly. Leeds United are edging closer to a Premier League return with just one more friendly left to play now that a 1-1 draw with Villarreal is in the books. It was far from a thriller at Elland Road but there were positives to take, particularly for two individuals involved in the Whites goal. It was far from a good day for others, however. Here's the YEP take on Leeds' battle with LaLiga opposition. Good day Joel Piroe Another game, another goal. The Dutchman knows where the net is and with no new number 9 in the door yet, Piroe has put together a good case to start up top against Everton if the need arises. Lukas Nmecha has also looked sharp but Piroe's status as the club's best finisher appears to remain untouched. It helps that he came back for pre-season in such good shape too, because he wil...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
