Meeting held: Radz and 49ers now take Leeds action with Jesse Marsch before Brighton – report

Leeds United’s owners have held a meeting with Jesse Marsch and the first-team squad prior to the club’s crucial clash with Brighton on Sunday.

The Whites, who are owned by Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers Enterprises, find themselves on the verge of relegation with just two games remaining to turn things around.

Leeds sit in the bottom three below Burnley on goal difference, with the Clarets also having a game in hand on Marsch’s side. That makes the club’s final home game of the season against Brighton vital, with three points required ahead of a trip to Brentford on the last day.

Graham Smyth of The Yorkshire Evening Post shared a story on Friday afternoon after Marsch confirmed that the owners held a meeting on Thursday with himself and the squad.

The Leeds manager stated in his pre-match press conference that everyone at the club is ‘totally unified’ ahead of the club’s final home league game of the season.

A third successive home defeat could all but relegate Leeds on Sunday, should Burnley manage to beat Tottenham earlier in the day.

Therefore, you can see why Whites officials would want to try and galvanise the club days before the huge game at Elland Road by taking action into their own hands with an official meeting.

Things haven’t been made any easier with a number of key players out through injury and suspension, but hopefully, Sunday’s meeting with Brighton won’t be Leeds’ final home game in the Premier League during 2022.
