AliousGeorginio Rutter’s departure from Leeds United to Brighton for £40 million seems to have caused some tension, particularly due to the announcement’s tagline “Don’t go to bed just yet,” which angered many on social media.
Despite Rutter’s popularity at Leeds, fans were disappointed by the situation, even though Rutter likely didn’t understand the context of the message.
In what appears to be a response, Leeds United made a subtle dig at Rutter and Brighton in their own transfer announcement for Largie Ramazani.
The club’s official X account posted an image with a laptop displaying the caption “Marching on TOGETHER,” seemingly aimed at Rutter’s departure.
The Brighton announcement’s tagline referenced a disappointing period in Leeds’ transfer history about a decade ago, which explains the fans’ upset reaction.
This feeling was compounded by the recent departures of key players like Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, and Archie Gray, with few replacements signed so far.
With the transfer window closing in eight days, Leeds fans are advised to be patient as manager Daniel Farke works on bringing in new players.
The article expresses regret that Rutter’s time at Leeds has ended on such a sour note, especially given that it wasn’t his fault.
It also warns that the situation could escalate if either club makes further comments.
