Concern With Richmond Influence

Last updated : 20 April 2004 By Kevin Markey

The Guardian says supporters' groups are showing concern at the growing influence of Richmond.

Leeds last week gave responsibility for all contract and transfer negotiations to Richmond and it is understood that he will be appointed chief executive in the summer unless new investors come on board.

"Anyone stupid enough to think Richmond is the answer clearly doesn't know what the question is," the Leeds United Supporters Trust chairman John Boocock said yesterday.
