Not whilst FFP is in effect.
Good point!LoveCity said:Hope so. A half decent team and they would play 2 cup finals against the scum every season, which would be beneficial for us.

1 FA Cup
1 League Cup
+ Some minor trophy's and plenty of bridesmaids appearances
They've NEVER had a 60,000 crowd at home in their history.
None of the above major trophy's were won before 1968, therefore do Leeds warrant being called a top club?
PS Im biased... im old... i hate Leeds
I think for a certain generation they might be a 'big' club, but they've been down that long that even those memories are fading. I can't ever see them dining at the top table again - and by that I mean regularly challenging for trophies. They might get promoted to the PL at some point, but it does appear to be a while away yet.
Completely agree, mate. It was the Full Members Cup of European tournaments.whp.blue said:malg said:They won the European Fairs Cup twice as well, which was the UEFA Cup, so not a bad trophy.WhenProgrammesWereAShilling said:3 League titles

The European fairs cup is not comparable with the UEFA cup it was a real mickey mouse competition
Correct. Until that changes it's only ever going to be City, Chelsea, rags and the perpetual bridesmaids from the Emirates.Peter Doherty said:Not a chance in hell now that FFP is here.

Compared to the fanatical, irrational and demented interest in football in Manchester and Liverpool, the interest in Leeds is moderate.
I don't mean this as a criticism of people in Leeds. It's just how it is.
