Plus if you were Newcastle, would you prefer to have Leeds or Burnley in the league with you next season? One is a big club with potential pulling power, the other is a town called Burnley. True, but the players will be thinking a good end of season might get them a stay in the new era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 On Brentford vs Leeds “ The bad blood between the clubs began in February 2020 when (Thomas) Frank claimed Leeds would “fear” facing them at Griffin Park because they had lost four of their previous five games. Leeds drew and went on to walk the Championship and they remembered Frank’s jibe during their celebrations. A video has recently resurfaced showing Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas singing, “Mind the gap, Thomas Frank” as they danced with the Football League trophy. Brentford striker Ivan Toney retweeted the clip with the message “Hmm” and the clubs’ fortunes have changed since they were rivals in the Championship two years ago. “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 18 minutes ago, Ever the pessimist said: If there’s anything about Brentford they’ll also know that most of the country are rooting for them. And more selfishly, Burnley are likely to be in their sights in future seasons, whereas Leeds could, theoretically, push forwards. Agreed. I’m sure they must know that 99% of football supporters would love nothing more than to see them relegate the scrubbers from West Yorkshire.

The PL are not going to do Burnley and Leeds' bidding by hitting Everton with a points deduction now, end of story. It would open a can of worms and create a dangerous precedent. That's not to say Everton might not be subject to some sort of punishment next season. Still though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it a hunch, but one would think that Burnley and Leeds would have been aware of Everton's financial issues for a while or certainly could have been much sooner than now had they wished to do so. But hey, they might get relegated, so let's start threatening lawsuits etc. W@nkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
