The bloke's explaining it away on Radio Leeds now. He's talking bollocks. "The salue is something the fans said Leeds United owned". WRONG. The fans own the salute, they're saluting the badge. How can the badge be a fan saluting the badge?? Makes no sense.
It'll never see the light of day. And it's killed off the salute for many fans too.
