Leeds fans rage at 'incompetent' 49ers after new Summerville twist

Leeds United fans have taken aim at their owners 49ers Enterprises after West Ham agreed a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville.

Football Insider revealed the winger will travel to East London to undergo a medical ahead of a £25million move – a fee which falls far short of the initial £35million asking price.

This is despite the 22-year-old winger having won the Championship Player of the Season award last time out, which fans thought would drive his price higher.

However, the Hammers now look set to land their primary target for a cheap fee given the prices involved in other deals, including the £40million sale of Archie Gray.

The 49ers took full control of the club last summer, but fans are beginning to turn on them already after several questionable decisions in the transfer market.

Leeds rejected an offer of £20million from Burnley last summer, so to accept just £5million more after the best season of his career came as a shock.

Summerville scored 21 goals and provided ten assists last season as Daniel Farke’s side narrowly missed out on promotion in the playoff final.

As a result of the low fee involved, supporters have raged at the 49ers, calling for them to sell the club and labelling them an “absolute joke”.

@lufc will always be a selling club !!! No Summerville proves 49ers happy to be in championship for another 20 yrs with efl tv cash Absolute joke!!!! More will leave!!!— maiden86 (@ntlufc) July 31, 2024

£25m for Summerville in this market is simply incompetent administration by the club. The 49ers are all talk #LUFC— Seán Duffy (@_sean_duffy) July 31, 2024

In 6 years at @LUFC I cannot actually recall anything positive the @49ers have achieved. Lots of publicity stunts but nothing tangible for fans to cling on to. Sole owners for a year. They had 5 years to prepare. Kinnear is not fit for his job. Now he's negotiating lower fees— CharlieB (@Charlie_B_LUFC) July 31, 2024

49ers are selling the jewels before selling up, simple as. #LUFC— Syze (@SyzeMatters) July 31, 2024

???????????? 49rs at it again….championship player of they year to be sold for peanuts ???????????????? https://t.co/8Cmqhh5EGu— Seán (@ROI_LUFC) July 31, 2024

25 for Summerville is a disgrace. Long way back for the 49ers— Daniel Winter (@Dan_LUFC_Winter) July 31, 2024

No chance then but they are bending over for £5 million more after he was the championship's player of the season. Really disappointed with the 49ers here tbh. #LUFC https://t.co/7EZOfWED23— Lord Ash ⛰️ (@_RB_Ash) July 31, 2024

Reject £20m & sell him for £25m????????????????

Absolute disgrace. #LUFC https://t.co/jCg8dkSa5L— LUFC Connor ???? (@ConnorMOT92) July 31, 2024

Less than £30m for Summerville, the fact that you can’t replace that sort of talent in this league and the fact we are two weeks away from season starting… good old Leeds ????????. We are now weaker and other Clubs have had a far better window than we have, kiss goodbye to ‘easy’.— Matt (@MattXLufc) July 31, 2024

49ers dictating fees and getting £25m with adds ons for a player worth £35m seems legit.. Not a great look for our owners this #LUFC— ROSSii (@MrROSSii1990) July 31, 2024
