Criticism of Andrea Radrizzani’s investment, Victor Orta’s scouting as well as Leeds United’s sales of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha has been rife this summer. That’s the view of Angus Kinnear, who has hit back with a staunch defence today.
The Whites chief executive has continued his programme notes with the beginning of the new campaign. In his first opportunity to address last season and this summer’s business in the club publication, Kinnear has underlined the current board’s undiminished resolve to push United forward.
“We accept faltering in our trajectory means critics will question and doubt all aspects of our management including Andrea’s commitment to invest, Victor’s ability to pick a player and (most bizarrely) whether these programme notes are still industry-defining,” he said.
