    Very well said regarding Leeds returning to the premier League, Leeds just need to get re-established as a Top flight & get us back into The top 20 clubs in the world. On our 2nd season back financially & based on fans etc we were bigger than Everton Leicester Newcastle & West ham.. Before relegation in 04 we certainly were.

    Great neutral analysis but I think your assessment on Brendon Aaronson is harsh. He came back into the fold with a lot of Leeds fans unhappy about his return after he chose to go out on loan to Germany following relegation. But his redemption arc has been quite spectacular in my opinion. He has showed a lot of endeavour and has turned in some real great performances this season and at the moment has cemented his place in the starting 11. He has provided both goals and assists and seems to have got a lot more physical than he was in the Premier League. Also Ao Tanaka is sooo much more than an ok replacement. He is proving to be an astonishingly good signing and for around 3.5 million euros too. 👍⚪️🟡🔵

    Fine margins and sliding doors.. At one point in Bielsa’s second season villa and Leeds were neighbours in the table. Villa got Emery in, Leeds eventually got Marsch. Villa now in Champion’s League, Leeds trying to get out of championship. Bielsa was a genius and a diamond of a human being, but his genius was flawed, left it too late to succeed him and brought in wrong appointment after wrong appointment. Some questionable recruitment, some bad luck, some choking when it came to the crunch. Far too soon to be talking about promotion. We have the best squad by far but then seem to struggle with the simplest thing of putting the ball in the back of the net. Too many missed opportunities and dropped points could be costly in May.

    • @EnglishMike
      @EnglishMike Месяц назад +1

      The margins weren't that fine. Radrizzani simply didn't have the money to compete in the top half of the Premier League, and the moment the recruiting didn't go perfectly, Leeds were in trouble. Orta pulled off an amazing coup by recruiting Bielsa, and he doesn't get enough credit for that, but his propensity for taking big risks eventually let the club down.
      When Villa won promotion to the Premier League, they were bought by a consortium with two billionaire owners and an investment group. It's those deep pockets that have really helped Villa compete at the top level.
      The 49ers will have deep enough pockets this time around, and it does sound like they have the commitment it will take to transform Elland Road and Leeds into the club that can compete in Europe, though obviously it's not going to be easy.
      Farke has already spoken of how much money Leeds will have to spend in the season after promotion (£150 million minimum) because he knows from bitter experience what happens if you spend a lot less. And given how well the new recruits are panning out, there's reason to believe the club will invest wisely with enough money when the time comes.

  • @stephenhodgson3506
    @stephenhodgson3506 Месяц назад +4

    I think Norwich fans will tell you that the reason Farke failed in the Premier League was because the owners spent no money when they went up. It was almost as if Norwich were hoping to build a pot of money as a yo-yo club with the parachute payments, so eventually they could make the player investment they needed.

      @@Dylann6420 Leeds have been developing players for years. The academy is one of the best in the country and has been for decades. Of the current side Meslier, Struijk, Joseph, Debayo, Chambers and Crew all have come through the academy even if some were bought as kids. Gray now at Spurs came through the academy. Before that we had Phillips, Davis, Milner, Woodgate, Smith, Kewell, Kelly, Harte, Lennon all through the academy. We had Finley Gorman who recently joined Man City for a seven figure fee at 15. But because you cannot offer a contract until a player is 17 they can get poached by other clubs. Leeds have always developed their own players so yes they realised a long time ago how to run a modern club. So you aren't even close if you think Norwich are the only Championship club doing things the correct way.

      Leeds like every other club have to conform with PSR and having relegation from the Premier League Leeds had no option but to sell players so that they could comply to those rules. You can't simply go out and spend the money you received. Because of the extensive world wide scouting network Leeds have in place they were able to get Tanaka for £2.95 million, Ramazani for £10 million, Schmidt for £2.5 million. So we replaced one player with three and had a fair chunk of change left over.

      @@Dylann6420 And that's what Leeds have been doing. They have completely overhauled recruitment, which used to be a one-man band called Victor Orta, and is now a quality professional team that's already paying dividends on both sides of the ledger. The club is in a much better position financially after last summer's transfer window. They have also invested in data analytics and overhauled their medical and fitness teams.
      The club is now run by Paraag Marathe, whose expertise in data and analytics earned him the job as Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the San Francisco 49ers, and is backed by an organization worth billions with access to the guaranteed money train that is NFL football. Even in a very bad year, they still earn profits of around $100 million.
      Leeds are a very different club today than when Radrizzani took over, and aside from the desperate need for a modern 50k+ seater stadium, for which plans are already being drawn up to start building next year, they are very well placed to make their second return to the Premier League last longer than the previous one. Farke will get his chance.

      You’re not sure how Leeds is being run BUT think they’re lumping on farke’s managerial style instead of developing players and building stability. It’s seems likely Leeds will be a yo-yo club until they realise how clubs should be run in the modern era. Clubs like Norwich and Sunderland😂😂. Wow!!
      Leeds owners took over last summer, are worth around £5bn, sold two academy players for £70m this summer (due to non promotion clauses put in contracts by previous owners) and plans are currently underway to expand Elland rd to 53000. That doesn’t really sound like a lack of developing players and instability to me.
      You mention the Brentford and Brighton data model, how it helped them build their infrastructure and how Norwich are now following that ‘modern era’ path. Sorry to put it to you but most teams in the top two divisions have followed that path for years. If Norwich has only just started following that path now then I’d be asking why has it took you so long???

      Then you contradict yourself first you say "I'm not sure how Leeds is run" which from your comments is quite clear you have no idea. then you say "they are very poorly run" how can you say they are very poorly run when you have already said you don't know how they are run?
      If we had, had the same owners for all the years you talk about then you might have a point but as you once again show you have no idea about the club as they are now owned by the 49ers and have been for 18 months.
      These are owners who sat down when looking for a new manager and using the same methods they used to recruit the head coach of the 49ers chose Farke. They have tried and trusted methods of working and those methods have been successful.
      We are now also partly owned by Red Bull and who did Red Bull just appoint as head of global soccer answer Klopp and Leeds will be benefitting from his expertise. Once again you don't have a clue about Leeds or about how a modern club is run. answer this if Norwich are been run so well how come they are outside the top six in the Championship and only level with Leeds in Premier League 2 with Leeds having just moved their U19's up to U21's? or why Norwich only made it to the third round of last seasons Youth Cup while Leeds made it to the final?
      I should also point out how are Norwich so well run if they have not got close to promotion even with parachute payments which they have now lost. Norwich had two good years under a manger who you now say is average and will be lucky to make the play offs this year.

    Fair assessment....
    Tanaka seems a cheat code player at this level.
    Agree that the investment model is stronger than in the last premier season. Hence Farke will be competently and sensibly backed if promotion is achieved.
    The problem I have is tempering ambition with expectation.
    Our current squad contains only 7 Premier league ready players.
    Messier.. (due to previous experience only)
    Rodon (decent player)
    Tanaka (Will only get better)
    Joseph (potential)
    Gnonto (Italian international)
    Ampadu (earned his chance)
    Wober (experience)
    Striuck, James, Ramazani, Bogle, Aaronsson, squad players
    Firpo, Bamford, Gruev, Piroe not up to standard.

      That has nothing to do with Farke's man-management skills.
      As for playing better in the EPL: Gray has played just 33 minutes all season. Summerville has played more than 45 minutes once, and has yet to have a goal or an assist, so only Rutter, who has yet to play a full 90 minutes, has been remotely productive so far this season, and he had a brilliant season at Leeds, so he's hardly "playing better" either.
