Angry Leeds fans turn on owner and players as pain of relegation bites again

The Telegraph  

Leeds United spent 16 long, hard and divisive years trying to get back into the Premier League, but after just three in the top flight it is over. For a long time the expression “doing a Leeds United” was shorthand for catastrophic failure as a Premier League club after they dropped down to League One against a backdrop of financial problems and boardroom upheaval. As things stand, both Southampton and Leicester City look more stable and far better suited to making an immediate return to the Premier League and there are plenty of competitive teams waiting for them too. Certainly, the 49ers, who are already large stakeholders and have talked excitedly about their vision for growing the club, will need to negotiate a new price because nobody pays £420m for a Championship outfit, let alone one in the state Leeds are in.
