Paul Robinson says Victor Orta must take his "fair share" of the blame for Leeds United's struggles in the Premier League. Orta drew the curtain on his six-year spell at Elland Road after it was announced by the club that he had left by mutual consent on Tuesday.
The Spaniard was responsible for overseeing the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa, and the signings of Mateusz Klich, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford. All four played a key role in leading Leeds to the Championship title in 2020, but his recruitment since achieving promotion to the Premier League has been questionable.
While there have been success stories such as Raphinha, Wilfried Gnonto and, until recent weeks, Illan Meslier, there have also been a few howlers on the market. None more so than the debacle which followed the purchase of Jean-Kevin Augustin, while the club record signing of Georginio Rutter has failed to have the desired effect as of yet.
