Former employees at Leeds United FC's charity arm claim they felt forced to quit to escape the bullying behaviour of its chief executive. They have told the Â鶹Éç that Leeds United Foundation CEO John Mallalieu created a "toxic" work environment in which staff felt intimidated and humiliated. It is alleged he described one female executive member as looking "like a stripper" because she wore high heels. The Foundation said an independent review of its "prevailing culture" was under way to reinforce its commitment to ensuring its culture aligned with its values.
