Leeds won the league ahead of schedule after a decade of being in division 2 they did not mentally adapt to suddenly being no 1 again instead of rebuilding again for another title Wilkinson got complacent and that 17th place just put Leeds back 2 seasons. Then the Mancs win the first premier league and monopolise it for the next 2 decades I believe if Man United won it in 1992 and Leeds in 1993 Leeds would of had the money and momentum to buy success and the team man United had would of broken up … But instead the board persisted with Wilkinson for 3 more years and then when Risdale comes in and spends all that money that they never had to catch up with Man United and Arsenal. If Wilkinson had been ruthless in 1992 and sold players like chapman and strachan lukic and found upgrades I believe Players like Cantona and Batty would have stayed and they wouldn’t have needed to over invest in later years to compete as they say Success buys Success .. It’s small details like this that make the difference
If what Wilko was saying was correct as in Batty being sold was for the long term well being of the football club,then why did we spend the money that we got for him on Carlton fckn Palmer??? Bollocks is what I say
