Here are the latest Leeds United evening headlines on Saturday, March 13.
Radrizzani responds to supporters’ criticism
Andrea Radrizzani has come under increasing criticism from the Leeds supporters with many believing he didn’t sufficiently back Marcelo Bielsa in the summer or the January transfer window.
The Whites chairman has always been very active on his personal Twitter account and took to the social media platform to defend himself.
He was tagged in a tweet by a fan complaining about his lack of investment, to which he replied: “100 mil precisely. Lot of work and time sacrificed to my family. I always try and work hard for the best of the club. The moment I realise I won’t be able to deliver I will let someone else to do a better job."

Matteo explains Norwich approach
Tomorrow’s visit of Norwich to West Yorkshire is being widely considered Leeds’ biggest game since they returned to the Premier League last season.
It is most definitely a must-win fixture and Dominic Matteo has given his description of how his former side must look to exploit the division’s bottom club.
“We really need to get back to basics, especially against a team like Norwich who have got nothing to lose really,” he told LUTV. “They will be going for it so they will be vulnerable on the counter.
“But the other side of it is we have got to make sure defensively and mentally we are up and ready to go into this game.
“The fans will demand it, they certainly will, they know how important this game is and when these games come around you have got to make sure you are on the end of three points.”
Pundits expect Leeds to stop the rot on Sunday
The atmosphere inside Elland Road on Thursday evening was rather hostile towards the end of the match and it will be much worse if Jesse Marsch’s side are unable to beat Norwich tomorrow.
It is a game that Leeds should, and have to, win and the pundits tasked with predicting this weekend’s Premier League fixtures believes they will bring an end to the six-game losing run.
Mark Lawrenson and David Seaman both expect Leeds to score two unanswered goals in a vital win while Michael Owen has predicted a closer game, albeit still one that ends with a home victory.
