Angus Kinnear

He did say he'd prefer people thought him inept as opposed to unambitious.

At the risk of reusing a trite social media saying:
When people show you who they are, believe them.

And they showed us this 12 months ago.

Leeds United fans have often had a tense relationship with former CEO/managing director Angus Kinnear due to his controversial public statements, tone-deaf defense of the board, and perceived disconnect from the supporters' realities.

Key Reasons for Fan Frustration

- The "Maoist" Comment: Kinnear caused national outrage and condemnation from the Football Supporters' Association when he compared recommendations from a fan-led review of English football governance to "Maoist collective agriculturalism", trivializing a historical famine while pushing back against independent regulation.

- Defending Flawed Squads and Decisions: Fans frequently grew irritated when Kinnear used his matchday programme notes or podcast appearances to downplay clear squad deficiencies, insisting the club had enough quality when fans witnessed glaring gaps on the pitch.

- Blaming Supporters and Media: Certain program notes and remarks were interpreted by the fanbase as shifting blame for transfer shortfalls or inflated expectations onto the fans and media rather than the boardroom's execution.

- Corporate Survival: As a high-profile holdover from the Andrea Radrizzani era who stayed on during transitions, some supporters viewed him as a corporate survivor adept at deflecting scrutiny while overseeing mixed footballing results.

Burn it down

[Cozzie]

Remember though, he was head hunted using a professional company.

I wonder one day, even by accident, we just stumble on something that works, the right people.

Even just a few years of it going well.

It's not like we are asking for the world.

[Granite]

Baffled at how people can still come to his defence.

I don’t know what more evidence people need to see he’s out of his depth.

I’m not defending him but it’s obvious to me that the owners have pulled funding.

It's more SCR blocking us from spending.

Completely and utterly out of his depth.
Another putrid appointment to add to the never ending list at the club

Suggest we start a bingo for his inevitable statement tomorrow:

- take full responsibility
- lessons learned
- root and branch review
- strategic alignment
- deep dive
- we're all in this together

Maybe we could get tim cahill to do the review. He did 1 for moshiri and kenwright and concluded they were great. As a side note Cahill strikes me a self serving dickhead

He’ll definitely throw in a line about record breaking commercial deals to show he’s been doing something really winning

Resignation/sacking first thing tomorrow.

Had Balogun in the building and eventually the player said no. Shocking.

[Goaljira]

Yeah, if he's not gone by 09:05 then there's no hope at all.

[Toshyboy]

Season is done already, criminally short at both full back and upfront. Can’t realistically do anything meaningful

[brap2]

Must must must go. What the fuck where we thinking

[Fieldy618]

Incompetence of the highest level. We've had TWO years to sort RB and all we've managed to do is spend pittence on a utility player. The negligence is staggering. The squad is paper thin. When the injuries hit we're completely and utterly fucked.

This guy needs chasing out of the club along with the rest of the recruitment team first thing.
