The Leeds United players under fire for ignoring fans at their team hotel on Sunday have been defended by one of the youngsters they seemingly snubbed.
As if the backlash from their damaging 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Sunday wasn't bad enough, the first team squad were lambasted further on Monday when footage emerged of them blanking their own supporters as they left their team hotel for the game. Their actions were savaged by the likes of Piers Morgan, who branded the players "Selfish, arrogant p****s."
Leeds later released a statement on their club website which expressed remorse at what transpired, but that prompted further fury as pundit Gary Neville tweeted : “This isn’t a message to Leeds players it’s to all players/teams apologising. No-one is falling for sanitised/vanilla PR guff anymore. Speak from the heart and better on video so fans can see your faces.”
