At the moment Leeds don't have the pull to get players like Neves, Jiminez, Moutinho, Rui Patricio.
If they get taken over then who knows?
Nice comments and thought we deserved at least a replay.
Just hope we don't bvgger it up again.
Think you have made a good choice of manager.
See them more as a Swansea when they came up. Recruitment will need to be spot on
Think Leeds will struggle to get goals on the PL especially with Bamford.
Hopefully when they get promoted they can get themselves a top striker.

Much appreciated Castor. I have to say, I think you've chosen the right manager. This guy has something about him that I think players will respect. Plus he's young enough to relate to the team. Another Klopp perhaps, but without the teeth.

Nah - Swansea are minute compared to us. We will attract decent players I’m sure.
As a game it should have been over at half time. However Arsenal got away with it and obviously got a right bollocing at haft time. They were much better second half even though their goal was fortunate.
They should also have lost a player to two yellows. You know who I mean.

Swansea finished 11th, 9th, 12th, 8th, 12th and 15th before getting relegated, all while winning the league cup.
If Leeds come up they’ll have done very well to replicate that.
We’ll finish above Arsenal if we keep bielsa and invest. I want top 4 within 3 seasons.

Compared to Swansea we are a much bigger club and will attracts not only better players but better investors.
Yes Swansea did well but I think we have much more potential as a club and a city to be honest.
Being a bigger club doesn’t mean you’ll attract the players unless you get new owners. Being in the prem doesn’t guarantee new owners either, look at Newcastle. Or even the right owners, look how shiiiiit Everton have been with loads of cash. I think you’re underestimating just how well Swansea done when they got promoted.

Zero chance. Decent Championship side, but Leeds will not be making top four in the Prem. Mid table at best.
Might be pie in the sky but if the investment comes that's being reported then we will fly, dont give a monkey's what other fans think most havent won the league since it was on pathe news, only Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal bigger than us, MOT
Twice in our history we have come from the depths and took the top flight by storm. On both occasions we eventually became Champions.
We are the one club that can do this all again with the right manager and backers.
( And we've already got the right manager).

You & many others would probably have said similar about Leicester not so long ago. Not saying we will or won’t, lots can happen. But ‘zero chance’. Nonsense.
I'd hate to see a top championship side if we are average
Ignore Sandy. We had the same said about us when we were promoted and said we were targeting top half first season and European football after that. got called arrogant and all sorts.
Generally, teams who get promoted playing a particularly style and stick with it; using targeted investment to only bring in players to fit the system tend to do well. It happened with us and happened with Sheffield Utd. Leeds just need to make sure they don't fall into the same trap as Fulham and Villa when they talk about investment.

What attracts big players is the prospect of playing for a huge club with passionate fans, a great manager - and of course money.
If we get promoted we will have all those things.
We already have a decent owner but if we go up I would expect Radz to sell a big chunk of the club to raise some serious money.
Leeds United in the PL will be attractive, not only to players but investors and advertisers.
Why do you think we were on the TV more times than most of the PL teams last season (and this season no doubt)?

Because the championship doesn't have the same "fair representation" rules the PL does, Leeds were top for a lot of it, and everybody loves watching a bottle job?
I think you’re going to be in for a rude awakening.
