# Leeds United Fans Slam Jack Harrison as “Worst Signing Ever” After Disappointing Defeat to Burnley, Demand He Leaves Before January
**October 19, 2025** – Elland Road erupted in frustration yesterday as Leeds United suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat to Burnley, reigniting a toxic feud with once-favorite son Jack Harrison. The winger, back at the club after two lackluster loans at Everton, was mercilessly targeted by supporters who branded him the “worst signing ever in Leeds history” and called for his immediate exit – even before the January transfer window.
The match at Turf Moor was a nightmare for Daniel Farke’s side. Burnley, hardly setting the Premier League alight, capitalized on Leeds’ sluggish start. In the 18th minute, Kyle Walker’s pinpoint cross found Lesley Ugochukwu unmarked for a simple header, exposing defensive frailties. Leeds pushed back but lacked bite, with Brenden Aaronson squandering a golden chance in the 33rd. Harrison, starting on the left, was anonymous – spurning two volleys in the second half that summed up his afternoon of mediocrity.
Farke’s delayed response – subbing Harrison and Aaronson in the 66th minute for Lukas Nmecha and Dan James – proved futile. Moments later, Loum Tchaouna rifled in a stunning second, sealing Leeds’ fate and dropping them perilously close to the relegation zone after just eight games.
Harrison’s woes trace back to his 2023 departure post-relegation, when he opted for Everton amid fan backlash. His mother’s viral expletive-laden video celebrating a Toffees win over Burnley – later clarified as a defense against online trolls – didn’t help.
Upon returning this summer, the 28-year-old faced boos in pre-season friendlies against Manchester United and AC Milan, and even in the opener against Everton.
Despite Farke’s praise for his work ethic, zero goals or assists this season have fueled the fire.
Social media exploded post-match. “Harrison is one of the worst wingers we’ve ever signed. Utter dross,”
@BinksLeeds vented: “Not seen a worse 20 mins… We’ve done ourselves keeping
Echoing the sentiment, @LiamRumsey64 slammed his lack of flair: “Never takes his man on, always gets the ball stuck in his feet.”
Calls to ship him out now were rife, with fans decrying him as a “waste of money” unfit for Premier League survival.
Simon Jordan defended the vitriol on talkSPORT, arguing fans’ passion trumps rationality: “Harrison left when Leeds needed him.
Redemption seems distant; only goals might thaw the ice, but with Leeds’ attack sputtering, patience is wearing thin.
Farke must act swiftly. Retaining Harrison risks deeper unrest – and another Championship stint. For now, the winger’s Elland Road return feels like a curse.
