Default Re: mystery leeds utd player

Apparently, it's not Derry, Well, according to his agent anyway.

Not going to read much into it though as if anyone in the world woud protest dery's innocence it would be his agent!


Quote:
The agent of Leeds United midfielder Shaun Derry says he wasn't the leaker of team news to Crystal Palace last week.

Leeds boss Dennis Wise was furious after claiming a player tipped off Palace about his starting line-up ahead of Saturday's 2-1 home win.
Wise has said the guilty party will not play for the Championship strugglers again.

Rumours have linked ex- Palace star Derry - who missed the game with an Achilles injury - with the accusations.

Derry's agent Phil Smith said: "Shaun went to Palace's hotel the night before the game to see old friends and attended the game.

"But people have wrongly assumed he is to blame because he used to play for Crystal Palace.

"We have had no contact from Dennis Wise and Leeds whatsoever.

"It would be best for Leeds to make it clear who the player is, then these rumours can stop."

Wise is facing a players' revolt over the traitor.

A source told The Sun: "Several innocent players fear they will get caught in the crossfire and come under suspicion from fans. "Unless the player is named, rumours will continue about who it is."
