Despite skysports and various social media outlets reporting the sale of Rodolph Austin, nothing official has gone through. Leeds turned down a bid last Wednesday, but Wigan are targeting the Jamaican international and testing Leeds' resolve.
There could be a clash between manager Neil Redfearn and whoever is pulling the strings (or having their strings pulled) during the enforced absence of Massimo Cellino.
