So sad about gray rn but he’s gonna cook

[LUFC Worldwide ⚪️ @LUFC_WorldWide]

Honestly, Bielsa would absolutely cook the entire international team with this England squad

Instead you’re all being punished watching Southgate ball

@EFL @EASPORTSFC How do you obtain Summerville?

[LeedsPOV🇺🇸🇬🇧 @LufcPov]

What a result💙💛

Past few years have been a pleasure to watch in comparison to prior the managerial merigoround era.

Promotion in 2020 and finishing 9th in the pl was honestly such an honour to spectate.

Norwich is the next turning point, do us proud in the play off final!

[Adonis Storr @theadelites]

Last season #LUFC were relegated from the Premier League.

The three sides that finished above them were: Nottingham Forest, Everton & Leicester.

Forest & Everton have been charged with breaches of Financial Fair Play. Leicester are expected to be.

6 point deductions for Everton and Leicester would have kept Leeds in the Premier League. But sanctions - should they stick - will come too late, even to effect Leeds efforts to get promoted this season.

Letting clubs spend wantonly, then sanctioning after lengthy investigations is not a deterrent and is not working.

Everton's 6 point deduction this season doesn't benefit Leeds. And any Premier League points deduction for Leicester next season will only effect Leeds if they get promoted.

Like few others Leeds have been punished for financial breaches. 25 points worth of deductions in the past. And while playing by the rules in the recent seasons, they saw other sides gamble with the rules and get promoted.

The reason FFP laws exist is to ensure that clubs don't burn their wings flying too close to the sun. But it is not working. A huge amount of clubs have gambled too much to get promoted, and sunk.

Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County, Reading, Stoke and many more all tumbled down the Football League having tried to scramble back to the big time.

Those communities are hurting, and FFP hasn't helped. And the laws didn't stop Leeds getting relegated, but they should have.

Instead of letting clubs spend whatever they want, why not project finances for the coming season and have a budget allowance (cap) for each transfer window?

Each club would have to spend within their budget and no one could be in breach. Agents power could be curbed, and wages and transfer fees which have spiraled out of control could be brought down to Earth.

Plenty of other sports have salary and spending caps. It is a model that works, allows for growth, while maintaining sustainability. Ensuring a level financial playing field, and that clubs like Bury don't go out of existence.

Clubs have protested against an Independent Regulator for Football. I seem to remember #LUFC CEO Angus Kinnear comparing the idea to Maoist China (?) But words are cheap and results are consequential.

The failings of FFP - the asterisk next to every Man City honour, the expulsion of Bury, State-owned clubs, Ambramovich's ownership of Chelsea, Betting sponsorships, the European Super League, inequality in diversity, tragedy chanting, violence in football, corrupt agents, fan safety, ticket prices, fixture changes for broadcast, scheduling, NFT & Crypto sponsors scamming fans, pedophilia scandals in kids football, sexism, racism & so much more.

The most footballing authorities ever seem to do is get players to wear a warm up t-shirt, make a statement, and pat themselves on the back.

There has never been more billions in football. But ticket prices are outrageous, fans are forgotten, stadiums rot, clubs go out of existence.

England is the home of the national sport, the global sport. But there is a reason Leeds fans sing "The Football League's corrupt" - and the reason is not just because it's fun and funny.

A law that punishes clubs that abide by it, far more heavily than the clubs that break it, is completely unfair - even if it's got Fair in the name. Leeds United have every right to be taking legal action against Everton, and should Leicester be also found in breach, them too.

Governing bodies, clubs, and anybody else benefiting from the current state of football can protest against an Independent Regulator all they like. But reality is telling a different story.

You just don’t get scenes like this in the Premier League 👏

The passion in the EFL is so clear �

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Unreal atmosphere inside Elland Road last night as the whole stadium sing “I predict a riot” after being Leicester.

Do Leeds have the best fans in the country? 🤔
