Stuntman_Mike Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Just now, pmcla26 said: I don’t think the PL will gain much as a brand from Leeds to be honest, it’s a global outlet and Bournemouth even have become known in Asia etc. Leeds will definitely benefit more from the Premier League than the Premier League will benefit from having them back in it. Depends how sensible they are in the market really. Leeds are a pull whether people like them or not. Look at the amount of games they're on Sky in Championship and even how people are reacting to them on here coming up, they get people talking and interested. They're massive for the league imo. Yes they'll benefit as a club but it'd be interesting to see the leagues revenue and stats information domestically and globally say compared to having clubs like Bournemouth in it.

Quite a lot has changed since 2004 and I think they may be in for a rude awakening. Folk talk about them being a "massive" Club, what does that mean. They've been the mill financially during the last 20 years, struggled on the pitch and were a League 3 side for years. Yes, they've got history and yes they have loud, noisy support but c'mon massive, give me a break. Remember what Cloughie said to the team on his first training session and he knew a bit about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds are a massive one city club with a well known manager and huge marketing pull. He isn't saying Leeds fans aren't loving it and it means little to them. More the benefits the PL brand will gain from having them in it. Either way I hope they go straight back down as long term they could be a real threat to where we want to continue to be. I think it a bit of living in the past, same number of twitter followers as Bournemouth, less then Norwich! To me Leeds are a big club, but I think they they don't have the global following anymore then a Derby or a Forest present day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALC Fox Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 2 minutes ago, AKCJ said: They absolutely won't. Their squad isn't that good. Probably the worst team to ever win that league. Bielsa will fall apart in the Premier League. The bloke is completely mental and the media will just rinse him. He's arguably the most tactically astute manager there has ever been but he's a complete fruitcake. The way that Bielsa tend teams struggle late in the season through exhaustion doesn't bode well for them either. They're going to need to be on it, regardless of how well they do early on. They also need a striker who scores goals. I can't believe a team going into a Premier League season with Patrick Bamford as their main striker will stay in the division. If somehow they do stay up, they could be a threat in the medium to long term, though. There's potential for them to be massive again. But it's the same for a lot of teams really, including Villa, who look like they're about to go straight back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably doesn't need to wear it at all seeing as he's about to play without one and not all players inside grounds have worn them aslong as they're keeping social distance. He's hardly in his kit going through the official warm up routine he's in his casual wear before the game doing that strange 'getting a feel of the environment thing' despite playing at that ground for a few years. I think you're looking into this particular photo a bit too much. But having said all that he probably is a right bellwhiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 (edited) New scapegoat incoming if he arrives 😂 Jeez, some people need to lighten up. It's obviously taken from the walk around on the pitch where most players have a chat and look at their phones! What is it with some hating young, good looking millionaires!

Wilder’s shown Dyche and Howe up as far as I’m concerned Dyche especially tbh. The sooner people realise that Burnley play the way they do because its all Dyche can do, not because it's all you can do on their budget, the better. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxile5 Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Cantwell is one who benefits from being English in terms of his quality. He huffs and puffs but there isn't tonnes of end product with him. Wouldn't have him. Also, as mentioned, a little bit of a turd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have potential and the only reason 'smaller' clubs have more twitter followers is because of PL exposure. Leeds will have literally millions more followers across the world by the end of the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 18 July 2020 Share Posted 18 July 2020 Leeds will comfortably stay up if they focus on quality rather than quantity like Wolves and Sheffield Utd did and not like Fulham and Villa did. They have a very good coach who has been prepared to graft in the Championship and there's some very effective players in that squad. They'll get someone like Eduoard up top and possibly pay big money for Ben White and finish mid table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
