Rio Ferdinand has encouraged Leeds United to delete a tweet where the publicly shamed Karen Carney for her comments on Amazon Prime.
Carney controversially claimed Leeds were only promoted last season due to the break, which allowed their players to rest up.
The opinion caused a fierce backlash on social media, and Leeds official Twitter account stoked the flames by posting the video.
Ferdinand felt that Leeds had been unfair by broadcasting the opinion and encouraging a pile-on on social media.
However, Jeff Stelling and Andrea Radrizzani had rather differing views.
Whatever your opinion on whether Leeds should have published the video, it is difficult to defend Carney’s opinion.
Leeds had won five games on the bounce prior to the suspension of the season last term and were simply showing no signs of tiring, as they cruised to promotion.
Leeds actually enjoyed a great win last night, as they battered West Bromwich Albion 5-0 at the Hawthorns, to climb up to 11th in the Premier League table.
