Georginio Rutter and Max Wober have taken to Instagram for the first time since Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League to the Championship – underlining their heartache at failing to prevent the club from going down.
Leeds are now preparing for a gigantic summer in which a takeover has to be renegotiated at Championship prices, the need for a new sporting director and manager – and a turnover of the squad that could reach double figures.
Wober was a key part of the side after joining the club in January, but a couple of injuries hampered his momentum towards the end of the season. Rutter, also signed in January, warmed the bench and only started one league game.
There is a scenario in which both players could stay at Elland Road this summer – or choose to leave Leeds and go back abroad. There has been suggestions that Rutter could go on loan to a French side. Both posted on Instagram.

Making a prediction on Rutter and Wober’s future is hard. It is fair to say that their futures are very much 50/50 this summer. Rutter, you could easily see staying and regaining his confidence in the Championship. He is still young.
Peter Crouch suggested he dips into the Championship, score a load of goals and come back to the Premier League with more confidence. But you could easily see Leeds organising a deal in which he goes on loan to a Ligue 1 side.
For Wober, again – it is easy to see him going to a Bundesliga club, or back to The Netherlands perhaps. But, having only just joined and still only 25 himself – he may spend a year in the Championship, having just moved his family.
