Clinton Morrison says Georginio Rutter “looks like a lackey” in the Championship after struggling with Leeds United in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old is now one of a number of infamous signings made by Jesse Marsch and Leeds United in January.
The American was not only supported and given permission to hire people like Georginio Rutter, but he also barely had time to collaborate with them before being fired less than a month later.
This doesn’t help someone like Georginio Rutter, who doesn’t score in the Premier League, but it should also be noted that he was mainly used on the bench.
While a number of players left the club during Leeds’ relegation, mainly on loan, Georginio Rutter remained to try and help the club return to its glory days.
And now he is enjoying it all, as he scored for the second time on the road this weekend, this time against Millwall at the Den, with Clinton Morrison praising his efforts, as he told Sky Sports News (September 17, 23).

“Very good finish (against Millwall),” said Morrison. “He struggled in the Premier League. But he looks like a handful in the Championship and he is getting his goals.
“The players Leeds have got going forward. They should be there or thereabouts (for promotion).”
Rutter can hit big numbers
When the all-action forward was in Germany, he was a player who liked to play with freedom, produce moments of magic, dance his way past opponents and, at times, play like he was the only one on the pitch.
When he first arrived at Leeds, he just wasn’t allowed to express himself because of the mess he walked into.
With or without him, Leeds would have still gone down. But now that he is in a better place and mindset, then fans will start to see him thrive and hit serious numbers, in both goals and assists, in the Championship this season.
