Andrea Radrizzani has said his club thrive off the “dirty Leeds” tag as they push to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
Leeds enjoyed great success under Don Revie in the 1960s and 1970s but were criticised by some for their physical approach, with Brian Clough describing them as “the dirtiest, most cynical team in the league”. The tag has stuck and Radrizzani, the club’s Italian owner, said they try to use it in a positive way."
But an interesting side note...
"As a model, I look at clubs like Brighton and the success they’ve achieved gradually on a sustainable budget. I want to take a similar approach.”
