Are Leeds Fans Ungrateful?

They are all desperate to win tonight to be the "best of the promoted clubs". They have been ill at the thought of Sunderland being promoted top dogs this season.

Think they'd be more arsed about winning to all but confirm safety mind :lol:

I said earlier in the season they'd finish above us and I still think they will

Sadly, I got laughed at when I said they had a case that they've had the best season of the promoted teams

It also has to be considered in the context that no one gave us a prayer of staying up, whilst if anyone was going to stay up out of the three promoted sides, pretty much everyone thought they'd be the ones to do it.

We're still 6 points and 3 places ahead with 4 games to go.

Excellent seasons for both clubs, who'd have snapped your hand off if offered this at the beginning of the season.

Think it's locked in now. Fair play to Farke and Leeds.

I don’t really think that’s true tbf. We may catch you, we may not. Priority is staying up and then getting as high up the table as we can knowing every place =£3M. The only place I read about ‘best of the promoted sides’ with any sort of regularity is on this board

That's probably because Burnley had to keep their mouth shut from about October, and because Leeds have been behind us all season thus far.

I agree with you mind. Neither set of fans is going to really care when all is said and done. Both have had excellent seasons.
 
Yorkshire mags. Look at the state of this man on Facebook

The same fans were constantly crying about Sunderland and how "brilliantly" they were handled by their owners. People were moaning that they got all the players we wanted and that their board actually knew what they were doing while ours was just sitting on their hands.

Well, look at the table now. We are just 4 points behind them with a better goal difference.

Football fans should know one thing: financial stability is criminally underrated. Out of any fanbase in the country, we as Leeds fans should know that best. Have we all just blocked out the absolute hell we went through because of corporate mismanagement in the past?

Sure, Sunderland might have snapped up some players that we were linked with. But look at how they did it. They did it through massive overpayments and loading up contracts with relegation clauses. Does that ring a bell? We did the exact same thing back in 2021-23 and we figured out very quickly that it was a catastrophic mistake.

It is an incredibly high-risk strategy. If you spend like that and fail to stay up, you are in massive trouble. Most of your "star" players will immediately jump ship using those exact clauses, and then you are forced to have a fire sale of your actual loyal assets just to keep the lights on while trying to rebuild.

I would take the smart, calculated signings by the 49ers over the reckless Sunderland way any day of the week. Let's see who actually got it right in the long run.

Marching on together.

I think adding relegation clauses is sensible management

Said all season and still think it: they’ll finish above us

I saw that earlier. Their fans think they are Real Madrid for some reason. They’ve picked up a lot of points recently when held the league can’t be arsed anymore.

They choked against a pathetic Chelsea team in the biggest game they’ve had for a long time, they are a very, very average side.

Good form lately no doubt but the absolute whoppers have been shite for most of it, been in a relegation battle, haven't been anywhere near us this season and haven't even beaten us. Yet they come up with this shite?

Nearly every player we’ve signed we could sell for a profit and most of them for huge profits. Our summer transfer window was amazing and will financially secure the club for years.

They have a slim chance but not sure why any Sunderland fan would want to be proven right.

I don’t want to be proven right. Although it wouldn’t particularly bother me if Leeds specifically finished above us. Same as Brighton or whoever.

Slim or whatever, I think they will and have done most of the season. Doesn’t really matter if they do or not

The League table never lies, We've been above them all season and have had the better season, that can't be disputed.

At this moment in time. I’m saying at the end of the season I think they’ll be above us. Plus they’ve had the Wembley semi final in the cup
