This is possibly the worst thing that Radrizzani has said or done - even surpassing the silly crest.
Thomas Christiansen proved to be a pretty good manager. At times, with the players we have, some of the football was scintillating.
And like with every other manager, at times (perhaps too many times) it was carp.
But to say he was a mistake is a terrible thing to say, and as this was his first ownership decision, it only shows bad on Radrizzani himself.
Every time we fail and the manager goes, he will have to claim it was a mistake. This is going to happen time and again. And how many mistakes willi ttake before people lay the blame squarely at the door of the incompetent owner?
He needs to get a grip and smell the realistic Nescafe instant coffee he is pouring for us - we are an average team in a damn good league.
And unless he brings in a top manager and allows that manager a budget to build his own team, the blame can only EVER be laid at Radrizzani's feet
Christiansen was a mistake

LST, isnt he taking the blame by stating he made a mistake?
Not that I necessarily agree with his assessment.

He followed-up with an explanation of that on Twitter.
Looks like a case of him making a comment in a second language and not quite getting the right meaning.

I was very surprised reading what AR said about TC. in YEP.
One can always have different views on how TC managed the step up to the Championship, from where he came. But to talk TC down the way AR did, just was so pooor.
I smell a tad of Cellino...

I don't see it that way. He glowed about TC after interview and was extremely happy with him.
What came across was he's now saying he was duped, effectively, and that TC was the mistake rather than him.

Easy get out clause. Don't buy it, it was a snake oil salesman move, trying to deflect and expecting others to have short memories in the future

Pretty sure he specifically stated that his mistake was that he thought TC's success in Cyprus was a good background and would contribute to him being successful at Leeds United.

The sacking is acceptable, the Cellino like character assassination is unacceptable

He should not have said the things he said about TC. He should have thanked him for doing his best. Some of the players maybe should be blamed.
