Simon Jordan has criticised Andrea Radrizzani for the 'ridiculous push me-pull me mentality' at Leeds United as relegation looms. Sam Allardyce's side must beat Tottenham at Elland Road on Sunday, and hope results elsewhere go in their favour to pull off the great escape.
Radrizzani has recently outlined his intentions for a takeover at Sampdoria, outlining his ambitions for the Serie A side while admitting he is in contact with investors to bolster his latest bid. The Whites' chairman's interest elsewhere strengthens speculation that he is set to leave the club, with a bid from 49ers Enterprises being mooted.
Jordan has slammed the uncertainty surrounding United's future, insisting it has led to questionable decisions which has contributed to the club's struggles this term. The former Crystal Palace owner reckons the end of Leeds' three-year stint in the Premier League will provide 'clarity' going forward, although he feels their demotion would be a 'wasted opportunity'.

Jordan told talkSPORT via MOT Leeds News: “They’re not going down like they did in 2004 absolutely weighed down by mismanagement from people like Peter Ridsdale and maybe Alan Leighton who was on the board and involved in the decisions that they made. They’re going down because they wasted their own time and wasted opportunity, but they’re not going down in an economic car crash.
"Maybe it’ll clear the water for them. Maybe this ridiculous push me-pull me mentality of who’s running that football club [will go]. Radrizzani wanting to get out of the door and ultimately someone else wanting to buy it, and neither one making particularly good decisions.
"Because there’s logical thinking behind Jesse Marsch bouncing into Javi Gracia, then bouncing into Sam Allardyce with four games to go after spending a certain amount of money in the January window, never playing the player you bought in the January transfer window, and then firing the coach directly after the transfer window who bought the players. So maybe there will be clarity."
