Leeds United have been making the news for all the right reasons amongst the current global health crisis. With the UK on lockdown and football on the sidelines, the players and staff at Elland Road decided to take a voluntary pay cut in order to ensure those lower down the pay-chain at the club continue to get paid throughout the crisis. 

It was a great gesture from the Championship leaders and fans of the club have quickly been singing the praises of their players and staff. 

They are not alone. In fact, a chairman at another Football League club has been quick to point out his admiration for the club.

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony took to Twitter to praise the actions of the Leeds United players and suggested his playing staff would have no problem doing the same. 

Leeds United as a club have always been about the community but that was something that went missing under previous owners and managers. 

But Andrea Radrizzani, Victor Orta and head coach Marcelo Bielsa understand what makes Leeds United special. 

Leeds United fans will just be hopeful these measures are not necessary for much longer, with a promotion to the Premier League tantalisingly close.
