Image for Leeds United: Fans react to quotes from Victor Orta

Supporters of Leeds United have been reacting to a tweet from Graham Smyth, which relayed an article of his on Victor Orta.

In Smyth’s article for the Yorkshire Evening Post, which quoted an interview with BBC Sport, the club’s director of football discussed player movement and recruitment, which had lots of fans talking when shared to Twitter (via @GrahamSmyth).

To kick things off what season is this from?

Would you expect other football clubs to act ethically in regards to player movements?

Yes, I have faith in what others do

No, we shouldn't trust anyone

In the interview, Orta explained that during the current viral outbreak it is a “good moment for our (Leeds’) analysis to be deeper” on possible signings, however, he expected ‘ethical’ behaviour in regards to player movements (via BBC).

So, after the report containing the quotes from the director of football was relayed to supporters on Twitter (per @GrahamSmyth), fans continued having their say.

What do we think?

As can be seen in the responses from these Leeds fans, there is a couple of different reactions but the majority seem to feel that ‘ethical’ behaviour from other clubs will be unlikely.

As Orta stated, though, he trusts in “the goodwill of people and relationships” (via BBC). So, hopefully, the Spaniard will not come to regret or misplace his trust.
