Here are your morning Leeds United headlines on Sunday, May 21.
Andrea Radrizzani braced for the outcome of his last Leeds United roll of the dice
After four head coaches, seven wins in 36 games and 31 points from an available 108, Leeds United are finally running out of road and time. The Premier League return they waited 16 years for hangs by a thread and the wait for a win cannot go on any longer.

“I hope he (Moyes) did it (kept them in the Netherlands another night),” said Allardyce. “I know he wouldn't. I know what he’s like.
“It’s a great day for West Ham. I had four great years there myself, of course. To see them getting to a European final, it's been a long time since that happened."
