Living The Dream

For four years we were all captivated.
The rolling hills east of the Pennines were subjected to some of the best football in Europe, a tag usually reserved for the red rose empires of Anfield and Old Trafford.
The sleeping giant, birthed by the management of Don Revie and matured from its adolescence by Howard Wilkinson had been awaken by the youth under David O’Leary.
They tussled with the superstars of their time: Ferguson’s Manchester United and Wenger’s Arsenal back home before the Ballon d’Or winning stars of Rivaldo, Andriy Shevchenko and Luis Figo graced the hallowed turf of Elland Road.
They came so close to conquering it all, to planting another Leeds United flag of success into the turf.
Yet underneath the surface was a reckless and ruinous regime that threatened the very fabric of the club.
This is the story of Leeds United’s boom and bust at the turn of the Millennium, when West Yorkshire dare to live the dream and, in the end, flew a little too close to the sun.

What if Sweden won the 1958 World Cup? What if Aston Villa won the 2018 Championship play off final? What if Sunderland won the 2014 League Cup final? What if Leeds won the 1975 European Cup final?

Think Leeds are still suffering from this and probably won't be the same again....

Honestly, I think they're fine now. Why they've been relegated this year is just because they were overperforming because Bielsa was such a top class manager and they've succumb to the huge gap between the Premier League and Championship. People forget they only came back up in 2020, and did well to stay 3 seasons.

What if de bruyne was English? Any trophies? 👀

Probably not. In 2018, the rest of the group was young and France were in the way. By 2020, whilst England don’t have a midfielder like De Bruyne, they’d improved the midfield massively but could argue he could’ve been the difference v Italy. Bellingham could prove to be better than him in the long run
