Radrizzani launches extraordinary attack on Wolves after Leeds lose 3-0

Wed 7 March 2018 21:45, UK

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani lost his cool as his side lost 3-0 to Wolves in the Championship.

He took to Twitter to launch an extraordinary attack on tonight’s opponents, saying that Leeds aren’t playing in a fair competition.

He said it shouldn’t be legal that a team like Wolves can outmuscle the other teams with their financial advantage.

We have our own problems but we should play in a fair competition. Not legal and fair let one team owned by a fund whom has shares in the biggest players agency with evident benefits (top European clubs giving players with options to buy ..why the other 23 teams can’t have same

Football Insider verdict:

It seems like the pressure is getting to Radrizzani as his team succumbed to yet another defeat in the Championship. To be fair, he might have a point, but Twitter isn’t the forum to bring this sort of stuff up on. And, when you do it when your team has just been beaten 3-0, it just comes across as sour grapes. Radrizzani’s communication has been pretty spot-on this season, as he attempts to gives fans as much info as possible. He also listens to the fans, which is pretty rare for an owner. But he’s let himself down with this message tonight. If he’d waited, slept on it and fired up Twitter tomorrow, we doubt he’d have said the same thing. And it probably would have come across much better.
