It says on Leeds Live that Rutter knew of the offer before he took the field last night but asked to be played.

That's what agents do.
I'm really down and frustrated by this sale, in particular, and all the optimism I had has all but gone. But I'm not as angry about the release clauses as most. They're a normal and very common part of football, and I doubt any player would agree to sign a contract with a team in a relegation battle, or a team outside the PL without one.
I just wish they'd get a move on and sign some players.

Same here mate. Im feeling very deflated about it all. I was looking forward to this season and looking forward to the games and now it’s gone. Good grief the board have some serious work to do now to bring back the feel good factor. A lot of the fan base are now utterly bemused.
The whole squad knew of the transfer apparently. I wonder if that was a factor you know. It will have damaged confidence and spirit

| rutter had some magic moments but was also a liability at times. imo if, and it's a big if, the right player is signed then he is replaceable

| Szmodics off to Ipswich by looks of it. Sky reporting they’re trying to finalise a deal

Not easy to do in 2 weeks. They can’t even replace Summerville in good time

| Szmodics deal to Ipswich nearly done. Honestly what a joke. The owners need to front up here and bloody quickly. Elland rd crowd will go nuclear soon.

| Probably just as well we are away from home this Saturday otherwise the atmosphere could be toxic.
Szmodics would have been ideal in the Rutter role but once again we sit on our hands like we did with Moore who is in a different class to Bamford and Piroe.
One theory about how we played last night could be down to the team knowing Rutter was leaving and it affected them on the pitch.
He is highly rated and thought of by the players so you never know.
Just a thought not an excuse.

| Giving Rutter a £40m buyout clause when he cost £30 odd million made it a very risky deal for Leeds with not much upside.
Signed at Xmas but both Marsch and Sam would not play him in a team sinking into relegation. Came good last year but not much profit made.
Presume Gnonto has an exit clause as well, if Everton come back in we will really be in a mess.
We are now in a weak position yet again as everyone knows we desperately need players, have money and running out of time.

| don't think gnonto has a clause or it would have been triggered by now.
rutter was around £25m plus add ons but apparently very few add ons have been met.
Ipswich can offer premier league football and higher wages. simple as that

| It's been widely reported in last couple of days that Gnonto doesn't have any release clause. Penny for his thoughts though... his two best mates have just left. Plus Gray gone... he and the squad must wonder what the plan is.
Joe Donahue's article yesterday in YEP is very stinging of the current situation and the Owners silence. Says it's time for them to give a clear message and strategy to fans at very least. They're creating bad feeling. Also questioning their end of season and early transfer window messages to fans. Worth a read and it's spot on.

| We'll get a message/interview from the owners after the window shuts, like we have done for the last few years. Personally, I don't mind the silence, I understand the anxiety, and I definitely want deals done, but there's no need for fans to know everything.
I will say though, a lot of the reasons fans are confused is because the YEP have been either putting out information that they haven't properly verified, or replying to people on twitter with their assumptions, which people then take as gospel. Frankly, the YEP and the local journalists, in general are no more reliable than any others, and have been becoming less and less reliable ever since we were promoted.

Graham Smyth said the credible source is at the club who gave them the information basically lied to them to try keep the clause details quite. He got told last year Summerville had a release clause but then this year the same club source denied it.
Fans don't need to know everything, that's not the point. But, we need to know what's going on following the sales of Gray, Summerville, Rutter. They need to calm the storm. Why didn't they tie Rutter down to a new contract with a release clause next year once Gray and Summerville went... they know he had a release clause and Brighton had bid twice for him a few weeks ago... they've let him go here... they've either seen the pound signs or its gross bad management. The red bull money was meant to keep our best players (bar 1 or 2 needing to be sold). They were Marathe's words.
This offseason was meant to be the settled one with a couple of key players sold and heavily invest, in Marathe's own words after the bomb shell of Gray being sold, to get us the best squad we can to get us automatically promoted.
We've now sold our best 3 players, with only 15 days left in the window and need to bring 4 or 5 quality players in. We are playing catch up yet again at the start of the season with 4 tough games coming up.....
We've only got 19 senior players currently. We've gone from promotion favourites to possible playoff contenders. Other clubs will know we are desperate now and takes away our negotiation power. They will have to pull 4 quality rabbits from the hat and very quickly..
