✍️ Leeds United is delighted to announce captain Ethan Ampadu has signed a new contract with the club

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

@JacobHorsfall_ @JefferyGol37573 Sorry mate, just saying “use it as a baseline” is completely meaningless. xG and xGC represent the quality of chances created and conceded. Hence, it’s reasonable to say that Sunderland would have struggled if they had scored and conceded in line with these metrics.

@L_Alexander20 @allleedsaway You have to say that’s magnificent 😂👏

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

@GrahamSmyth He knows how strong his negotiating position is due to what a brilliant job he’s done. He’s using that to ensure the club match his sporting ambitions going forward. He weakens his position if the club know he’s a sure bet to continue next season, hence the open-endedness.

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

A very deliberately timed challenge to the club hierarchy from Farke. He knows what a terrific job he’s done and what a strong position that puts him in. He’s using that as a way of ensuring the club match his ambitions for the team going forward #lufc

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

@maitlis Agreed this is very likely what happened. The bottom line is that all of this happened as a result of Starmer and McSweeney’s inconceivable appetite to have Mandelson in the role - an insanely poor judgement call with what was known at the time and it looks even worse now

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

This poses two obvious Qs: 1) what use is the process if ultimately the outcome is decided by someone at liberty to ignore the procedural findings? And 2) on what grounds did Robbins deem it appropriate to grant clearance in light of the UKSV’s recommendation?

NEW
Friends of sacked Foreign Office boss Olly Robbins are starting to hit back and say sacking baseless.
I've been talking to ex National Cyber Security Centre boss Ciaran Martin - who is about to embark on a media round
** He says it is the job the FCDO - so it was ultimately Olly Robbins - to decide whether security clearance is granted or not. Usually the FCDO security department does it and most cases didn't reach his level, but the most senior ones (presumably Mandelson) do.
** It’s ENTIRELY up to them, working with information from his own department and UK Security Vetting. The FCDO / he does not “overturn” the decision of UKSV - he’s they only one that decides.
** He says that Robbins was +prohibited+ from sharing details of what goes into his vetting assessment. Vetting would not work if elements shared confidentially went public. He was on a duty not to relay the position of UKSV. That’s why ministers do on get told - he is under a duty not to pass on any details beyond a pass/fail recommendation.
** So Martin says: the idea that there was a “recommendation” that was the “overriden” is wrong. This is the characterisation of government. The only assessment made is that by Robbins, and he could not have passed on any additional details.
** Therefore he feels the sacking of Robbins has no basis and that Robbins is being treated badly.
** Robbins will go before the FCDO select committee, perhaps as early as next Tuesday

Ciaran Martin will be on @skynews shortly

First Prem league win at Old Trafford and an FA Cup semi-final booked in the space of just 8 days… not bad at all, buddy! Thank you! What a win, Leeds! Just two more needed now!

@KennyMac765 @ScotNational Exactly. I’m not a fan of Laura’s but I’m surprised how many people are failing to grasp the intention of her question in this instance

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

It’s giving “I can’t be racist, I have a friend who’s black” energy

The hypocrisy of Keith Andrews to use this holier than thou narrative about Bielsa after Spygate and then orchestrate the most flagrant display of cheating today by instructing his keeper to feign injury is not lost on me. Shameless cunt #lufc

@JacobsBen Stop giving this guy air time. He churns out the same old shite trying to shirk responsibilities for his own failures at Leeds. He was held to the same standards as any other manager would be at Leeds and he fell way below those standards with inherently flawed tactics

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

@L_Alexander20 That was a stressful watch. You take a point in the circumstances but we were shafted by another refereeing disasterclass. How Johnson wasn’t sent off for a second booking 😵‍💫

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

You have massive opportunities for three points against a depleted Sunderland and a depleted Palace and you serve up two performances like this. Begging to go down and we’ll deserve it if we continue this way #lufc

[Joe Bryson @JoeBryson7]

Celebrating like that and still drawing 0-0. Beyond embarrassing 🤣 #lufc
