LEEDS UNITED FANS LEFT FUMING AFTER INSIDER REVEALS CLUB IS SET TO ANNOUNCE FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER AS NEW HEAD COACH

Leeds United fans have erupted in outrage after a bombshell insider report claimed the club is preparing to appoint a former Manchester United manager as the new head coach — a move many supporters are calling “the most embarrassing decision in the club’s modern history.”

For a fanbase that demands passion, identity, and a leader who understands the weight of the white shirt, this shocking revelation has left emotions boiling over. Social media went into meltdown within minutes of the leak, with thousands of fans openly questioning whether the club’s hierarchy has completely lost touch with the soul of Leeds United.

According to the insider, the deal is already “90% done” and the announcement could drop any moment, which only fueled the anger further. For many Leeds supporters, the idea of bringing in someone associated with their fiercest rivals is not just controversial — it feels like betrayal.

“This is NOT the man we want!” – Fans erupt in fury

The reaction from supporters was instant and explosive. Fans accused the board of ignoring the voice of the people, choosing what they call a “lazy, desperate appointment” instead of fighting for a manager who aligns with Leeds United’s style, mentality, and ambition.

One furious supporter wrote on X:

“How can you claim to understand this club and bring in someone tied to Manchester United? Season over. Absolutely finished.”

Another added:

“We’ve been crying for direction, passion, identity… and this is what the board gives us? An ex-rival boss? It’s disrespect on every level.”

Outside Elland Road, frustration has already turned into open protest. Some fans insist the club is sleepwalking into disaster, while others believe this appointment signals a complete collapse in leadership.

A divided boardroom? Insider says tensions are rising

The leaked report also suggests that not everyone inside the club is happy about the decision. Rumours claim certain senior figures pushed hard for a different manager — someone younger, hungrier, and fully committed to rebuilding the Leeds project — but were overruled.

Instead, those in favour of the former Manchester United coach reportedly argued that his experience, name recognition, and Premier League history made him the “safe option.”

Fans, however, don’t want safe. They want Leeds — bold, fearless, and ambitious.

Supporters fear the season is already doomed

Many fans believe that this appointment could destroy what little hope remains for the current season. Some even feel the club is willingly throwing away any chance of momentum, stability, or future development.

Comments poured in such as:

“This club never learns.”

“We’re going backwards again.”

“How do you expect us to support this decision?”

The anger is not just about rivalry — it’s about identity. Leeds United stands on pride, resistance, and defiance. For supporters, appointing a former manager connected to their historic enemy feels like crossing a line that should never be crossed.

The announcement could drop any moment

While fans demand explanations, the club has remained silent, refusing to confirm or deny the leak. But the insider insists the contract has already been drafted and finalised, with only the official unveiling left
