‘There’s a bit of anger in the stands here, disappointing scenes.’
Leeds supporters were also quick to hit out at the club’s hierarchy following the confirmation of their fate, including chairman and owner Andrea Radrizzani.
One said: ‘Radrizanni the business man, get out of my club. Cretin. Bye.’
Another added: ‘An utter disgrace from top to bottom. That coward Radrizanni honestly thought making Orta the fall guy would placate Leeds fans, oblivious to the fact we want him and the other coward Kinnear out as well. Orta’s legacy is the U21s. What positive will Radrizzani leave us with?’
Some were also visibly and vocally angry at the club’s failure, with stewards required to restrain some fans, while others heckled ‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’ in the direction of the Leeds players.
In the aftermath of the confirmation, Gary McAllister told BT Sport: ‘It’s a sad day. I believe it’s a Premier League club, but they now find themselves in the Championship.
‘We talk about levels and I thought the levels were extreme today, Spurs were excellent, a different level and I thought they won at a canter.
