Don’t get confused. This isn’t a match report. Leeds and Bristol City have already played each other twice this season – Leeds won both of them.
The word “versus” in the title of this blog involves the Leeds and Bristol City owners and is meant in more of a Mortal Kombat manner, as opposed to anything football-related.
OK, it was more like this…
It all started in January, when all that spying stuff was taking place.
Bristol City’s owner, Steve Lansdown, was asked by the BBC for his thoughts on the matter. After all, why not consult the owner of a football club that has no rivalry with Leeds and absolutely nothing to do with the spying nonsense. Anyway, this was said…
The only thing that makes sense if I’m honest is a points deduction.
They ought to seriously consider it but I don’t think that will happen as I don’t think the EFL will be strong enough to do something like that.
A fine would go someway towards showing it’s not acceptable. Whatever happens we mustn’t condone it.
All I will say is it’s a shame that we cannot all be as morally rich as Mr Lansdown, who currently lives outside the UK in a tax avoidance scheme.
Leeds United’s owner, Andrea Radrizzani, became involved today – following yesterday’s win over Bristol City.
Mr Radrizzani took to Twitter, following a tweet by a Leeds fan, regarding the rather overzealous behaviour of Saturday’s match day stewards…
Regardless of whether sitting peacefully with a young child, alongside rival football supporters, is against the rules or not, there is always room for diplomacy and common sense. Sadly for those poor Leeds fans, it sounds like the stewards lacked any of this.
This is where Leeds United’s owner waded in and attempted to show Steveo his virtual middle finger…
It’s all gone quiet so far. I’ll await Steve Lansdown’s response with keen anticipation – although I may have to wait until tomorrow, as I’m not sure if there is a time difference between mainland UK and Guernsey.
