Leeds United’s first squad-related announcement since 49ers Enterprises’ breakthrough summed up where the club is at in this moment. The limbo the club finds itself in, between head coaches, recruitment chiefs and owners, is akin to where Adam Forshaw and Joel Robles find themselves currently.
In 17 days they will officially be free agents and out of contract on the open market. Leeds, though, have an interest in keeping them on board. There’s an invitation to return for pre-season training on the table, but no contract as yet.
In Forshaw’s case, a deal was already in place for the club to trigger a 12-month extension, but, evidently, the board were not comfortable with those terms. Understandably, the Whites are keeping their options as open as possible while they wait for the new owners to finalise their takeover and the ultimate appointment of a head coach.
