Hi, welcome.

There are other means of making him go away.Remember folks ..... ignore them and they go away
Morning, Leeds fan in peace.
It absolutely shocked me to see a thread like this I guess Brighton are another team that are shaken and worried by one of the top 3 or 4 biggest clubs in the country being back in the big time. Only a few more tinpot nothing clubs like yourself to remove from the prem and order will be restored, however the league looks a lot healthier with our name in it.
The best English side ever (1970s Leeds), a fantastic 90s team, worldwide support comparable to only liverpool and real Madrid and barcelona, manchester utd and Juventus ac milan, could add Celtic in too. We fell on hard times but we have often been unlucky as a club, cheated out of numerous European and league and cups in the 70s, a few times in the 90s too, and more recently with our corrupt owners but now we are back, I firmly believe that especially with the worlds best manager we will get top four within the next two seasons and back challenging again, we are like a Dortmund or Napoli of England who they also fell on hard times and well now look.
As for young Ben White, he is begging to stay up here and it paves the way for a cut price deal as I can see him refusing to play for your club again, hes had a taste of the big time now and can't get enough, I can see him being our future captain. Thank you for sending him too us. Good luck for the season, I'm sure you'll be back down with the likes of Bournemouth soon.
Lovely backdrop

feel free to answer with a sensible reply about how Bielsa will manage what Villa and Norwich patently didn't this season, or how a team with one of our young loanees in last season (he's ours next season) will turn around your woeful string of results at the Amex.
I will be happy if we stay up next season. This is something Villa did, albeit only by the skin of their teeth.
My argument would be that we will have a more judicious transfer policy than Villa. They spent a ton of money (£130 million, was it?) and most of the incomers were failures who disturbed the balance of the team. By contrast, we will look for bargains, hopefully in South America where players can be cheaper and Bielsa's name resonates, so they will be easier to recruit. Or we will go for young players from nearer to home, whom Bielsa can coach.
Norwich actually have a manager I quite rate, but they seem happy to become a yo yo club, not investing much as I understand it (I haven't followed the Premier League that closely, I admit). I would expect us to (perhaps) invest more, and certainly more wisely. And for the enhanced squad to meld together into a whole greater than the sum of the parts.
In the season they won the Championship we beat them three nil at Carrow Road, and were a much better team than them for most of the season, tailing off at the end. Who knows why? So we start from a higher base, and have a great manager rather than just a very good one.
The two sides who have come up with us are going to struggle. Football is all about management, and I don't think either of theirs is up to much. I would be very surprised if they do anything but struggle. Brentford fell away (as we did last season) but I consider them a better team than the both of them. (With a better manager for the matter of that).
You argue that the gulf is big between the two leagues and this is apparent in the very first season. But that isn't axiomatic. There are many examples of promoted clubs doing surprisingly well in their first season actually, as the League works out how to play them.
I put it to you that this could well be the same with Leeds. Our 3 1 3 1 3 system is sui generis. (I am sorry to use more Latin, I know some find it irritating, but it best expresses the concept I am trying to communicate). I know Bielsa is a well known coach, but I doubt many Premier League clubs will have been that exercised by Leeds United up to now so as to devise tactics to use against us. I think they will under estimate us.
I therefore expect us to survive for the above reasons, and hope to surprise you by doing it in relative comfort. But we will see about that, as we will see how we do against your good selves.
A replacement for White is a concern, yes, but is eminently achievable. But it all depends on Bielsa. If he doesn't sign, or leaves on a whim during the season all bets are off.
He is that good.
