Well that was a win-win or lose-lose game - the two sides I didn't want to get to the final.
On balance the best side won, and I'm happier to see Leeds pain than the other lot.
Of the Leeds team, only Dan James can be satisfied with his day out.
Russell Martin to be sacked before December (hopefully).
us jacks wouldn't see a penny of that 5 million quid and our ex manager who we still love for obvious reasons finally gets a job that he deserves after our owners taking the piss. Anything that embarrasses our greedy useless yank owners the better. A good day all round.Originally Posted by goats
When you say we still love there were loads of Swansea fans who wanted him gone and were glad he went.
Your useless yank owners will be gutted they just lost 5 million, who can they sell this year btw?
Normally I'd want Leeds to lose, but with Ampadu, Rodon, James & Roberts in their team, maybe from a Wales perspective view it would have been better if they won, with premiership football for the Welsh contingent.
Apparently they turned down a huge bid from Southampton for Nathan Wood.
Hes in the last year of his contract and hes been told he can be sold.
Problem is hes not worth anywhere near what they turned down.
With the Ipswich lads it would have been 6 or 7 players, plus the Leicester goalkeeper (if you can count him as he hardly plays).
They might not have stayed or got games. James was on the bench today. Roberts will go back to Burnley. Rodon is on loan from Spurs and they'll probably send him away again next year. Might have been good for Ampadu.
SkyBet have posted the full list of prices for the Championship title next season and Leeds are the favourites. Of course, things can and will change before the season begins, but as things stand the prices are as follows:
6/1 - Leeds Utd
13/2 - Burnley
10/1 - Luton
12/1 - Middlesbrough
12/1 - Norwich
12/1 - West Brom
14/1 - Coventry
14/1 - Sheffield Utd
Let’s be honest, the Championship looks a pretty bland division next season. Same old list of contenders. Not very inspiring at all.
40/1 - Cardiff

When we came back down were we favourites to go back up? Didn’t we get 34 points? Twice as many as sheff utd? Don’t mean much really
No. In 2019/20 City were rated 4th favourites going into the campaign. Leeds were favourites and they won it. Fulham were second favourites and they went up via the play-offs. West Brom were rated third-best. They finished second.
They’ve made an offer for Grimes as well
They won’t want him now, they need far better
Leeds First team in Championship history to get 90 points & not go up
First team to lose 4 Play-off finals
Won 41 points from an available 45 at the start of 2024 & didn’t go up
Sunderland failed to win promotion with 90 points in the 90s after losing in the playoffs, though technically it was Division One, not the Championship.
Strange to hear Steve Wilson commentating on ITV4. ITV used the commentary from the World Feed. I watched a stream earlier with Jon Champion commentating and it was woeful.
Just looked and think Sunderland also hit 90 points in the 90's too without going up !
They dropped off after the last international break and were never the same again. Opposition teams were doubling up on their wide players and the midfield had no attacking threat. It looked like they had rediscovered their form at home to Norwich, but Summerville & Gnonto didn't really turn up today, and there's no Plan B.

Glad 'Dirty' Leeds lost. I have held an irrational hatred of them since they poached Charlie Crew
What does a cordless drill and the premier league have in common........
Both without leads (leeds)?
Only since then?
Don Revie, Johnny Giles, Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter, Gary Sprake and the other dirty sods I missed out from Leeds' sixties teams, your boys took a hell of a beating.
