Axed Leeds sporting director Victor Orta has been hailed as the 'architect' of their promotion to the Premier League in a leaked email from CEO Angus Kinnear - much to the frustration of the club's supporters. That disastrous spell has cast serious doubt over their chances of remaining in the Premier League, with the Whites now only above the relegation zone on goal difference in 17th place. Though despite his unpopularity with Leeds fans, Orta was showered with praise by CEO Kinnear in an email announcing his exit to club staff this week, which has been leaked on social media. Leeds fans were quick to express their bemusement with Kinnear's email, instead pointing to former manager Marcelo Bielsa as the true inspiration behind their Premier League return. One couldn't contain their amusement at Kinnear's claim and put: 'PAHAHAHAHAHAHA “The architect of our promotion” Taking the p*ss'.
