The trip to Burma is up next for us as we approach one of the most contentious issues at the club, well, for weeks.
Certainly, as far as years go at the Whites this has perhaps not been the best for our reputation with the badge fiasco and this trip taking centre-stage.
And now, ahead of the tour, we’ve named a squad that is missing a fair few senior players to say the very very least – as per Phil Hay:
Leeds United's 22-man squad in Myanmar: Lonergan, Peacock-Farrell, Ayling, Denton, O'Connor, Pearce, Saiz, Phillips, Vieira, Grot, Ekuban, Struijk, Clarke, Diaz, Shackleton, Machuca, Hosannah, Rey, Dalby, Edmondson, Gomes, Nicell. #lufc

Let’s take a look at the reaction to this:
What is the point? How are we boosting the profile of Leeds United with a youth side

The Verdict
It’s been a pretty rubbish season and it looks as though we’re going to finish it off with a pretty controversial tour.
There’s no sign that we’re not cancelling though it does appear that we’re taking far from a senior squad with many missing.
Perhaps, then, it’s a hint at the cull to come at the club this summer.
