Norwich fan defended his club at Leeds United.
Norwich City fan and BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey has defended the Canaries from criticism in a Talksport editorial.
Journalist Ian Abrahams told Talksport that he believes Norwich and Leeds winning promotion would be bad for English football.
Leeds and Norwich currently occupy the two automatic promotion spots in the Championship.
Abrahams’ argument focused on foreign bosses Marcelo Bielsa and Daniel Farke, and the use of non-English players, and said he would prefer Middlesbrough’s Tony Pulis wins promotion.
There was a big backlash from supporters of both clubs on social media, and Humphrey issued his support.
Humphrey was joined by BBC presenter Dan Humphrey, who is also a Canaries fan.
While Leeds and Norwich both have foreign bosses in charge, both clubs have leaned strongly on British players.
The spine of Leeds’ team is made up of Northern Ireland international Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Scotland defender Liam Cooper, and Englishmen Adam Forshaw and Kemar Roofe.
Bielsa’s two most expensive summer signings were Scotsman Barry Douglas and former English youth international Patrick Bielsa, while the four players he signed on loan are all English.
Norwich have a strong German influence in their side, but also lean on English youngsters Jamal Lewis and Maximillian Adams, as well as the scoring prowess of Scotland forward Jordan Rhodes.
