Leeds fans explode at ‘traitor’ Georginio Rutter after what he said

Leeds United fans have been furious with Georgin Rutter following his latest comments about his time at Elland Road following his move to Brighton.

   Speaking to BBC Sport after making his Brighton debut against Ipswich Town (September 16), the 22-year-old said: “When I was at Leeds, the Premier League was different.

   “I didn’t play much and maybe it wasn’t a good moment for me. Now it’s different. We have a good team and a good atmosphere.”

   Rutter started and played 67 minutes as Fabian Hurzeler’s side drew 0-0 with new opposition at the AMEX.

   He became a fans’ favorite at Leeds during his time in the Championship, but fans have not taken kindly to what appears to be a thinly veiled development at the club.

   The Brighton star is referring to his club-record arrival at Leeds in January 2023, when they were battling relegation and enduring turbulent times both on and off the pitch.


   As a result, fans at Elland Road were left furious with their former star.

   Leeds fans previously attacked the Frenchman after his celebration in his first game since his transfer – mimicking what he will do after the game at Elland Road.

   After Leeds ultimately failed to gain promotion to the Premier League, Rutter was among a number of stars to jump on the bandwagon, following many others since their relegation in 2023.

   This contributed to the “If you’re not with us, you’re against us” mentality at Elland Road, with fans turning against many of the departing players.

   Now, many fans have taken offense to the forward’s comments, taking to social media to label him a “traitor” and insist he will struggle in the Premier League and is not worth the £40m price tag Brighton paid.
