Simon Jordan believes the blame lies at boardroom level following Leeds United's relegation to the Championship. The Whites parted company with Jesse Marsch, Javi Gracia and sporting director Victor Orta in the final few months of the season - culminating in the end of their Premier League return.
When asked if the club had put too much faith in Orta, Jordan told talkSPORT: "Yes to some extent, but they've put too much trust in a variety of different places. If you've got an ownership model that's pulling one way and two people in the boardroom, one that's selling the football club on the basis it's staying in the Premier League and the new owner sitting waiting in the wings with a different viewpoint on things, that's why you've got people alleging that players were going to be sold by one part of the ownership with another part of the ownership model not wanting them to be sold.
"The RB model is great if you're playing in Austria of the German leagues that are not as competitive as the Premier League. It's not the same model that happens in the Premier League.
