Once Leeds United’s supporters had left Elland Road last night, Mateusz Klich had waved goodbye the last time in a while and Junior Firpo was in the ice bath with Luis Sinisterra and Patrick Bamford, Jesse Marsch still had work to attend to. The media remained hungry for its latest slice of the head coach’s thoughts in their press conference.
Marsch came into the room flanked, as usual, by media and press relations manager Jordan Owens, but there was a rarely-seen third face following in their wake. Chief executive Angus Kinnear approached Marsch and gave him a pointed embrace, congratulating him on the win, in front of the assembled media.
Kinnear has never done that. It may well be because he normally reaches Marsch before the head coach arrives for his press conference, or the Elland Road supremo was making a very public point.
