Either the person running the Leeds United Twitter account seriously misjudged how their fans treat Transfer Deadline Day or they've become sensational internet trolls.

We know the final day can sometimes be a struggle for fans of clubs lower down the Football League but oh my, Leeds fans can certainly feel hard done by.

With 10 minutes to go Leeds United informed their followers: "Don't to go to bed just yet... there is still work to be done", naturally building excitement for some very despondent Yorkshiremen following their dire start to the Championship season.

They may well have been trying to bring someone in, but in the end the only 'work to be done' was to sell two promising strikers Matt Smith and Dom Poleon before signing off and leaving fans gobsmacked.

It doesn't end there though - having already stitched up their loyal fans the club's official Twitter account managed to land their captain Jason Pearce in it too.

Pearce, who was tweeting about TV series Power during deadline day, had his comments retweeted at the height of Leeds' weird end to transfer dealings suggesting he knew of the impending transfer deals, he clearly did not and the fans are NOT happy...

Ooh... exciting

'This is decent' - Pearce is actually talking about the TV programme he's watching

Huh?

What?

Seriously?

And here's how the Leeds fans took it... (We're sure you can use your imagination to fill in the blanks)

We would like to make it clear that at no point have we intended to suggest that Leeds United deliberately misled its fans. The club states that at the time of its tweet informing fans "there is still work to be done" it was in negotiations for a potential new signing and hoped the deal would be completed before the deadline. The club offered no explanation as to why Jason Pearce's tweet was retweeted.
