Simon Jordan launches scathing review on Leeds United's 'pin the tail on the donkey' approach

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has not held back with his assessment of Leeds United's Premier League campaign. The ex-Eagles chief has taken aim at Andrea Radrizzani for his approach to hiring and firing managers and has questioned the finances behind the recent appointment of Sam Allardyce.

Jordan wrote in his Daily Mail column: "Leeds have been a rudderless ship, with everyone seemingly pulling in different directions and distracted by different agendas. Maybe going down will clear up this mess because what has been going on is as clear as mud.

"So while this is nothing like the s*** storm Leeds faced back in 2004, they have turned themselves into a self-inflicted disaster zone. From allowing Bielsa to go on too long when his approach had run its race, to appointing Jesse Marsch on the basis that what worked in the uncompetitive leagues of Germany and Austria would work in the Premier League.
