SiJ Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Burnley do have some history to them, albeit back in the black and white days. Reading, Brentford, Fulham, Palace etc., have never won a thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickly Kevin Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Enjoying this. All the Man United gloryhunters reduced to cheering on City to win a title race they had no chance of winnning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Cornet and Weighorst will be off as well, they won't want Championship football. Tarkowski has had bids from Premier League clubs, and Dwight McNeil could fetch a few quid.

Sounds like massive financial issues by going down. Can see them going back to a middling Champ side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I wonder what odds you'd get on Wednesday winning the title before the year 2100? 10 million to one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horny owl Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Even though Leeds survived I’m happy the scouse scrubbers didn’t win the title Beers tasting a little better tonight knowing they’re gutted Now I need to support whoever it is they’re playing in the champions league final 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen what a banana skin that second season can be before (hilariously) but the financial windfall of staying up for a third is significant. I think they’ll go pretty hard in the summer. Don’t fancy the 3 clubs coming up either (both Forest and Hudds would have work to do) and if one of them can stay up, I think it might be Southampton’s turn for the drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all their injuries and reliance on U23’s, Leeds have negotiated a possible disaster in avoiding relegation. They’ll push on from here and become established as a mid table PL club.

SiJ Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Difference between may struggle and nailed on for relegation but fair enough. They'll need to invest some decent cash this summer. They managed to stay up at the expense of three other dismal teams and beat ten man Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea definatly they only stayed up because of how bad the other 3 were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athelwulf Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 2 hours ago, WalthamOwl said: Another season of Leeds in the Prem. Horrible. Yes, and I fear they may be there for some time now. If they were going to go down it was while Bielsa was there and they were playing a brand of football they're not capable of. If only they could have kept Bielsa for a couple more games... It's a good job United got knocked out of the play-offs. What a terrible end to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think Leeds will be okay Played a lot of the season without a striker worthy of the name The comedy defence will surely be rectified - and with the addition of some firepower i think they'll have enough to keep themselves in the PL The other side of that coin is that if they did get relegated i expected they would a pretty formidable in the champs - and the more strong teams in the champs the better We'll now find out how Burnley cope without the guy almost guaranteed to get them promoted - next manager is a big call for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Like most teams already there, they are likely saved by the teams coming up. Still - I think they need a significant overhaul to kick on and not find themselves struggling again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
