Leeds defend agent decision

LEEDS managing director David Richmond has defended the club’s employment of an agent to look into the sale of a number of their players.

Richmond’s response comes in the wake of star striker Alan Smith’s critical attack on Leeds for seemingly handing Phillip Morrison the responsibility of handling key deals.

Smith is adamant no-one at the club is going to tell him which club he will be heading to this summer should he decide to leave if Leeds are relegated.
