Now it seems that there could even be more rumblings afoot – that’s if Twitter is to be believed. It took the following Tweet to get Leeds fans frothing… More #lufc turns out Neil Redfearn had a meeting with lawyers yesterday. He is leaving Leeds. Mate spent an hour today talking to Pearson. — Profit Pony (@ProfitPony) June 27, 2015 Leeds fans, as a whole, are conscious of the debt of gratitude that they owe Readfearn for battling to preserve the Championship status of the club after a disastrous start to the 2014/15 Championship campaign that saw the Whites facing the cold reality of a relegation battle. However, whilst thankful, they remain realistic that he perhaps wasn’t the man to take the club forward and upwards towards beckoning glory. Still, it is his steadfast loyalty and bleed-white-and-blue Leeds attitude that the fans identify with and it is the way he was treated at the end of last season that rankles most Leeds fans. So, with the ‘alleged’ possibility that he is being ‘seemingly forced’ out of the club, it is no wonder that Leeds fans have taken to Twitter in a decided state of consternation. @simon_orourke why the club would want Redfearn gone is any ones guess, madness to stop him working with the youth set up #lufc mot — andrewpitt (@andypitt60) June 27, 2015 Hope Redfearn stays can't believe what im reading. #lufc — ⠀ (@JackLUFC14) June 27, 2015 In reply to a Tweet asking how trustworthy the source was, Simon O’Tourke replied, @simon_orourke @James_V_Howson I know where this has come from and its 100% true, sadly. — Daniel Kilburn (@BurnfaceRovers) June 27, 2015 So, with yet another possible saga on the books at Leeds United, this one is definitely one that needs watching carefully.
I found this on another article in regards to Redders leaving, *Terminator* 12:37 AM on 28/06/2015 This is for Ka who knew all along there was a mole within the the heart of the club well it looks like there was 2 Redfearn an his partner Lucy Ward both been sacked tonight for providing inside club information to the local media no defence for that is there! I'm not sure if it's true or not, or just a rumour being peddled, but every rumour starts from a source. What I find interesting is, Lucy Ward has also been sacked.
Not sure what to make of it all, my gut feeling is he has been forced out unfairly but will wait to see how it unfolds. If he has been disruptive in any way then glad he has gone before Monday.
If it was Redders only, then some peoples assumptions could be seen as warranted, but Lucy Ward has also been sacked which adds suspicions.
I have been the first to defend him when I feel he has been undermined but I am starting to believe there is something more to this one
Either fair or unfair, if the club wanted him out I am just glad it is now rather than when they players and academy lads return for training on Monday.
