L1 is a bit far, but for sure we'd be lucky to scrape top half of the table. Can you imagine us pre-Bielsa taking on the likes of Fulham, West Brom and Brentford? We'd have been a near-guaranteed 3 points for any of them.

We did struggle a couple of seasons finishing 14th/15th & could have easily been drawn into a relegation battle.

The poor calibre of managers we employed was always a major concern so L1 was a distinct possibility if we didn't eventually get it right.

Coming from an eternal optimist like your good self, I will have to take your word for it...

I agree with Leon on that - the Cellino and bad/egotistical managers era and such, oh joy! I forget how many managers C went through - until our current phase restored our dignity and class. Many thanks are owed to Radrizzani.

Its gotta be the man Raph for me. Could turn out to be the most exciting player we have ever witnessed at Leeds. Another classy season and we are into silly money when it comes to cashing in. Ker-Ching!!

Way too early to be Raph.

Raph did it it the Prem. Lets see who else steps up this season.

I think Raph and KP will continue their advance to the top...Bamford will have a banner year this year and challenge for the "boot"...and for me the dark horse for the player of the year at Elland Road...Rodrigo...more excited about this year than last...

I'd have to agree , especially when you look at the fees being paid for other keepers these days I'd say he was a definite bargain
