A collection of Leeds United fans have been left annoyed with club majority owner Andrea Radrizzani after he had a Twitter exchange with respected journalist Phil Hay.
The Athletic writer had shared an article in which he explained that minority shareholders 49ers Enterprises have the option to pay £400m to buy the club outright before a deadline in January 2024.
Hay claimed the information “indicates a succession plan is in place for ownership to pass from majority shareholder Andrea Radrizzani”.
Clearly not happy with the message sent out by the story, the Italian businessman took to Twitter to challenge what had been written.
He said he expected more from ‘someone as good’ as Hay, before stating: “We are only focused on working together and growing Leeds United. Anything can happen between now and 2 years’ time (when many may have forgotten the article!).”
With the response coming online for everyone to see, it didn’t take long before many Leeds fans were quickly sharing their own comments on the matter.
Are Leed in big relegation trouble now Kalvin Phillips is injured?
Yes
No
Here’s what these Leeds fans said…
Regardless of all that, it seems as if these fans are not so happy with their majority owner spending his time criticising respected journalists on social media. However, they may only have to put up with any more of it for a few years, if the club is indeed sold.
