Relegation 23/24 Thread

[Ring master]

Leeds may not even make it up, pretty sure i think Radio said yesterday Leeds have been in play offs 6 times ever and never won

 

[Titus Bramble]

I'm not saying Leeds won't struggle, they will. But they are the best team in the playoffs. If we sell all of our best players we are going to be down there again so we need the worst possible teams in the division. Not everything is black and white you know.

We were only 'down there' this season because of points deductions.

You also seem to be assuming that any players sold aren't going to be replaced.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Hopefully Norwich come up. We need as many bad teams in the league as possible next season.

Did Leeds lose all their best players?

They've not got the debt repayments that we have.

So they kept all their best players, and still didn’t get automatic promotion?

I don’t fear them.

 

[hallamblue]

They will do well to match plucky Luton who you were championing here for months as such a wonderful side who we would be very lucky to finish ahead of .

I don't remember saying Luton were wonderful at all, but they did have a decent spell once they got used to the league and before the injuries. If Leeds come up they'll be better than any of the 3 promoted teams were this year.

They sold one to Barcelona and loaned one to us. I didn't say I feared them. It's surely common sense as a team who's primary purpose at the moment is to stay in the division to want the worst possible teams to get promoted?

They'll be replaced by loans or free transfers

You were very complimentary towards them . Said they would finish on 35 plus points and we would be extremely close to them . And laughed at those who suggested that we wouldn't be close to them when it mattered

Congratulations to Leeds United on qualifying for the champions league for the 25/26 season
A remarkable achievement.

…they looked the worst of the four sides I watched yesterday, difficult seeing them win at Elland Rd. Not surprisingly, I think the final is likely to be Leeds v Southampton.

I'd imagine we'll have a few quid to spend on transfer fees as well. Most seasons see mid 30 points as enough for safety... do you think we're going to regress that much?

I'm confident Dyche can organise the team well, but none of us knows what our squad will be. If we sold Pickford, Branthwaite and DCL do you think we'll be comfortably safe?

Depends who we replace them with.

But I don't think we'll be selling all 3.

I think people are kidding themselves if they don’t think next season will be a struggle.
