Perhaps memories of past hooliganism linger (my harmless old man was 'attacked' by a yob one time. He was very shaken.) Perhaps it's Don Revie's excellent but cynical team(s) that are recalled. However with their size, support and history the Premier League is the rightful place for Leeds. Only if they earn the right to stay there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The owners are also fully aware that Bielsa will be gone soon so have a plan in place for the future but thanks for your concern. 😉 Who knows what will happen in the future. it all has to be conjecture but one thing is for sure is that life goes on. As has been said, there are some very solid foundations being laid and a youth team structure which is also coming on nicely. We have had a 2 or 3 consecutive very enjoyable seasons for us Leeds United fans and it seems a lot of neutrals have enjoyed watching our games. Next season? A few new faces and more of the same would do me fine. Congratulations to you Canaries on gaining promotion. The trick now is going to be to get set and ready for next season. Looks to me like you need to invest wisely and reasonably well otherwise there is a risk that you will sink back again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,924 Posted April 18, 2021 Replicate our transfer dealings upon the last promotion then were struggling. Show some ambition in the transfer market will give Norwich a fighting chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One good season and then not able to follow it up. You can hope for that Bud. I suppose you can only see the scene from your own horizons? What did Norwich gather in their last Premier League visits? 34 points and then a laughable 19!! 🤣 You'll need to do better than that! Have no worries, Leeds will be likely to be doing much better than your Team next season. Unlike your last two efforts in the Premier League we stayed up and made a good fist of our first season after promotion and are in much better stead than the Blunts ever have been. Let's see what happens eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since we were first promoted in 1972 I think we have spent more seasons in the top flight than Massive Leeds😯 You do realise they’ve won it twice too in that time?
