Fans scorn ‘greedy and selfish’ Leeds’ players

LEEDS’ players were last night accused of being “greedy and selfish” by supporters who had previously backed them to the hilt.

The refusal to accept an initial 35% pay deferral has provoked outrage and fury among fans now expecting to lose at least one, if not two of the club's star names before the closure of this month's transfer window.

After acquiring a seven-day extension to the 'standstill' deadline agreed with the bondholders and crown creditors the Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise - on Monday, acting chairman and chief executive, Trevor Birch, had hoped the players would then show a united front.
