James Lawton: Leeds should beware panic
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The public argument between Peter Ridsdale and his former manager David O'Leary, which will no doubt simmer along quite nicely until Friday's annual general meeting of embattled Leeds United, only intensfies the sense of a football club saddled with a death wish.
Meanwhile, Terry Venables will no doubt try some more to implant the idea that he is involved in a trying transition rather than an ungovernable tailspin. The lynch mob might be prudent to hold their hand. If they get rid of a man of great football knowledge and experience, they cannot be sure of quite what comes next. Venables at least now knows the extent of the problem. He might just turn the corner. Potential successors, on the other hand, are being bombarded with reasons to stay where they are.
