The Gray family’s discontent comes in the wake of Leeds United’s major transfer decision – David Ornstein

What also emerged is that the way it was sold did not go down well with those close to Gray, presumably his family, including younger brother Harry and his great-uncle, club legend Eddie:

“At this point, there have been further conversations with Leeds, which has included chairman Paraag Marathe. Gray’s younger brother Harry is at the Leeds academy – another link between the Gray family and Elland Road – and it certainly wasn’t the case for a player trying to force a move to a club playing at a higher level .

“While Gray left no doubt that he was happy to stay at Leeds and that option was a possibility, there was frustration among those close to Gray at the way the situation was handled and the pressure it created. Under these circumstances, the deal made sense for Leeds. “

The 49ers could have handled this situation better with Gray

Selling Gray, regardless of the circumstances, was a deal that didn’t sit well with fans — and for good reason.
