Frustrated, disappointed and surprised is how Sam Allardyce has described Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani on the eve of the club’s biggest match in 12 months. This time last year, the Whites went to Brentford with their Premier League status in the balance and somehow survived.
They now face a similar fate, but with even greater odds stacked against them. Radrizzani has been in Italy this week pushing through his part in a takeover of Sampdoria, but it’s unclear whether he will be at Elland Road for the final match of the season.
Allardyce has only been at Leeds for a little over three weeks, but is well aware just how downbeat Radrizzani is with what’s befallen the Whites this season. The head coach made clear the only thing the Italian can now do is sit tight and await the close season for an overhaul of what’s needed.
