Liz Truss reveals she’s a Norwich City fan but wants to channel Leeds manager

It seems she switched allegiance from Leeds United to Norwich City, and she has changed sides on another number of important issues.

When comes to supporting football clubs, politicians can get it so wrong.

Let’s just cast our minds back to when David Cameron forgot if he supported West Ham or Aston Villa.

Here it is:

📅 #OnThisDay in 2015…

'Aston Villa supporting' British Prime Minister David Cameron messed up – as he accidentally claimed he supports West Ham 😂

Note to politicians: If you're going to pretend to be a football fan, at least remember the correct team! pic.twitter.com/Hgbiqi5te3

Here are a few tweets from the time

1.

David Cameron is resigning as an MP to spend more time watching his favourite football team, West Ham….sorry Aston Villa.

— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) September 12, 2016

2.

Just remembering that time when David Cameron said: “Of course, I’d rather you supported West Ham!” And then remembered that he was supposed to be an Aston Villa fan and had to think up an excuse.

3.

Does David Cameron still support West Ham Villa?

Corbyn

Say what you like about Jeremy Corbyn, he is a life-long Arsenal fan.

"He's put up with the most appalling abuse and he's stood it with dignity and stoicism."

Also, Starmer and Jezza might not agree on much, but he also supports the Gunners, so at least one thing.

Truss

So who is the newly crowned PM Liz Truss’s football team?

Almost like when she switched sides from the Lib Dems to the Tories, and from remain to leave, it seems she moved from supporting Leeds United to Norwich City.

The Tory leader called Norwich a ‘nice family club’ and praised joint majority shareholder Delia Smith.

Truss added that the Tories need to channel the spirit of Leeds legend Don Revie if they’re to beat Keir Starmer’s Labour in the next general election.

Don Revie left Leeds United 48 years ago today, before Liz Truss was born.
Never let it be said she hasn't got her finger on the pulse.#ToryLeadershipContest

Undoubtedly true- Don Revie was a total disaster as a national manager.

— Adrian Gregory (@AdrianGregory20) July 29, 2022

3.

But it was another former Leeds United manager she was compared to.

Someone on Twitter wrote: “She’ll be gone quicker than Brian Clough at Leeds United.”

Clough lasted just 44 days in charge before he left the club.

Norwich fans

The fans of Norwich City were not over the moon that Truss was a fan of the club:

1.

Hey @trussliz True #LUFC #LeedsUnited Supporters do not change their loyalty to Norfolk FC. Another u turn on principles. Turned on Remain, Turned on her School in Leeds….say anything to get elected. https://t.co/WNsD3T1WNy

— Damian Kelly ⚖️ (@Kelly4Law) July 28, 2022

2.

Liz Truss says she was a #LUFC fan that now supports Norwich City.

If that's her decision making she's not fit for anything!!

3.

First boos of the night when Liz Truss admits: "I've become a supporter of Norwich City "

She says the party needs to "channel the spirit of Don Revie" to win the next election.

Describes Keir Starmer as a "patronising, plastic patriot."

— Harry Horton (@harry_horton) July 28, 2022

4.

Liz Truss now supports Norwich City?

OK, name three of their albums…

— David Mead (@SeethingMead) July 29, 2022

5.

The last thing this lovely city needs is sodding Liz Truss announcing she's a Norwich City supporter. Think I'll move.

— 🕹️ Lee Brown 🕹️ (@bpharoah) July 28, 2022

6.

This tweet from Truss didn’t get much love…

Will snow stop play at Norwich City tomorrow? Will I get there?

— Liz Truss (@trussliz) December 18, 2009
