“I don’t like to say they deserve to be in the Premier League but Leeds are a legacy club and have one opportunity over their promotion rivals”- “Simon Jordan Reveals How Leeds United Can Succeed Where Burnley and Sheffield United Failed in the Premier League
Leeds United are drawing closer to their Premier League dream, with their recent victory over Sunderland providing a huge boost.
Daniel Farke’s side delivered an impressive second-half performance, making the win over the Black Cats a memorable one. Leeds triumphed 2-1, extending the gap between the two clubs to ten points.
This result puts Leeds in a strong position, and Simon Jordan believes they can achieve something that other promotion contenders have struggled with in the top flight.
Simon Jordan on Leeds United’s Premier League Potential When Sunderland’s Dan Neil calls Leeds ‘quality,’ you know Farke’s team means business. The late comeback against Sunderland highlighted Leeds’ resilience, proving they have what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.
This victory not only gives Leeds a significant advantage in their promotion bid, but a win against Sheffield United next Monday would put them in an even stronger position.
During a talkSPORT appearance with Jim White (18/02/2025 10:09), Jordan expressed confidence that Leeds can break the trend of newly promoted teams getting relegated after just one season in the Premier League.
“We often see teams go straight back down after being promoted,” Jordan said. “Leeds have the chance to break that cycle. I don’t like to say they deserve to be in the Premier League, but Leeds are a legacy club.”
Avoiding the Yo-Yo Club Trap Leeds will want to avoid becoming a “yo-yo” club like West Brom and Norwich City in recent years, which they managed to do during their previous Premier League stint.
However, in two of the last three seasons, all three promoted teams have been relegated. The 49ers, as the club’s owners, are eager to target Premier League-level players, seeking to improve on their previous three-season stay in the top flight.
Farke has the chance to make his mark in managerial history, and with a club of Leeds’ stature, they belong in the Premier League.
