From Champions League Semi-Finals to League One: Leeds United’s Rise, Fall & Return
Leeds United are back in the Premier League - they’ve returned after 16 years! With Marcelo Bielsa at the helm, 16 years outside of England’s top flight are over. This video will look at Leeds United’s historic past, their financial meltdown/collapse thanks to Peter Ridsdale, their relegation from the Premier League shortly after making the Champions League semi-finals, and their promotion to the Premier League/stability around the club!

8:04 you said they finished third and didn’t qualify but then you said you needed to be top 3
Yeah exactly. Got me confused too
My bad, I meant to say 4th. You still needed to be top 3 for UCL qualification though.
@@RabonaTV Americans dont know shit about football
alfred king I think this guy is Canadian and plus he knows a lot about football
@@affy45 aah rabona is better at least c before they were famous thy r so awful especially with European football
Can’t wait to see Bielsa go against Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho and Lampard
He won't have the players to make it an even playing field but it'll be interesting to see how he sets his team up against superior teams.
Don't forget Ole
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Man U players go when the Elland Road faithful are hurling abuse at them
@@craigr4763 The sample on Ole and Lampard is way too small to consider them tactical greats. Not yet anyway.
Lampard? Lmao.
16 years without premier league and finaly they back yes i cannot wait to see Leeds United in Premier League they deserve it
Agreed!
I'm not a Leeds fan but outside of the team I support Leeds are the most interesting team to see how they do being in the top league after so many years away.
imagine if they have a norwich type season 😳
Are EPL ready for BielsaBall??
@@nosoytofu1 won't happen, we have Bielsa MOT
Marcelo Bielsa is the name. Man could’ve left last’s season and go to a better team but stick with Leeds and now they’re back in the epl. I hope they stay for long now
He never stays long anywhere, that's my worry. If I were the Leeds chairman, the guy would have a job until he decides to retire (he is 65). Just give him whatever the heck he wants. He's no Mourinho. He won't ask for the moon and stuff the club can't afford. Just spend the promotion and TV money however Marcelo tells you to in order to improve the squad, and the rest can go into improving the club as a whole. Like the above comment says: don't fight him. In my book he's earned a contract until retirement.
@@caomhan84 a kind of Leed's Alex Ferguson.
@@inocenciorex602 Or the post-Millenium Don Revie.
Marcelo Bielsa up against the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp next season 🔥🔥
Unless you're a Leeds fan, you have no idea what this means to us! Bielsa is a genius! The man needs a statue outside Elland Road
Any club that gets promoted to an higher league after being a joke club for so long must get excited
Super Nintendo Mii LUFC new owner had bought back Elland Road for the club
@@robertwall3759 leeds deserve it tho brother
Hated yous guys growing up as a Manchester United fan, but glad to see you all back up. The trip to Elland Road this season is going to be amazing
All the clubs then that win the championship their managers are genius as well are they
Leeds fans have probably seen more of the highs and lows of football in a short period of time than any English club. How many other teams beat prime AC Milan and lost to Histon Town in the space of 8 years?
I'm in africa but went to high school in leeds for 2 years. Most of my mates were top level athletes...never understood why their team wasnt doing well🙁. Glad their back🙂
Bielsa's formation is actually 3-1-3-3, but we play 4-1-4-1 when defending.
To be fair, under Bielsa we've played just about every formation, and sometimes several in a single game.
This was a good summary for those who haven't felt the pain first hand.
I think while Bielsa deserves so much credit, their owner deserves a street named after him as well. Coming from an arsenal fan, it must be amazing to feel like your owner actually cares.
Absolutely, I fucking hate Stan Kroenke. He cares more about the LA Rams and their new 5 billion dollar stadium, than actually helping us try to climb back up the table
@@johnselwitz5362 it's sadly our reality now
Agree totally guys...
Its amazing how success on the pitch ( sustainable success) actually starts from the man at the head of the organisation.
Hes not the richest (by far) but boy he really gets us. I actually dont want a soulless multi billionaire outfit to be in charge as they only care about their own interests. Radz is by his own admission a custodian of the club, but he acknowledges the fans as the heartbeat.
To be fair we had to put up with diabolical owners for 15 years. Kroenke is a poor owner but at least you’ve had European football and won trophies for most of his time just not the level you’re used to. Leeds fans have had league one football and even came close to being liquidated under Bates. It says a lot that I’d have preferred Kroenke over Ridsdale, Bates, GFH and Cellino!
Dude...off-topic praise here. I discovered your channel only about a month ago but just recently have begun binge watching your FIFA content, and i love it to death. Will you be producing more? I love to see players that obsess over career mode as much as i do. The stories of the players, the drama and the highs and lows as a season unfolds....it's all so compelling. When you REALLY love football as we do. Don't get me wrong, your other videos are great too, i will eventually watch every upload at least once.
I recently dusted off my old 2015 career and PS3 because i was bored. I run Nacional in your beloved Portugal. I just played the most thrilling match of that season. Pegged back by 2 penalties in the 1st half, i scored twice in the 2nd half, including a 90th minute header by my boy Jese Rodriguez....my opponent?
Benfica of course.
ALL LEEDS AREN'T WE!! Sending 💙🤍💛 from Greece to all brothers & sisters out there! #MOT
Bielsa always make his teams very competitive. I wouldn't be surprise if Leeds end up in top 10 of pl next season. It will depend how the team looks after the window transfer this summer.
Leeds got an entire country of fans: Chile, we love El Loco Bielsa and follow every team he manages.
This was a quality video bro. One of the best I've seen you do from the perspective of you capturing the emotion of the topic.
Keep up the good work.
Leeds will make the premier far more interesting. WOLVES FAN.
Can you make a video on the SaveTheCrew movement and how the entire MLS pitched in to prevent the Columbus Crew from moving to Austin? A great story on how football and passion won against greed.
well I mean Austin FC still exists tbf but I still love that story
@mostcasual oh I totally agree it's just that Precourt is still their owner so the fact he's in MLS still is ehhh
you gave up on asking tifo :(
@@labeeb7735 At this point, I have almost given up.
@Vinny Mac tifo did an Atlanta United tactics video two years ago and it got 43K views
Can you do a video assessing Schalke’s season?
"It was bad."
I'm joking. I can look into it.
@@RabonaTV also this is probably a stupid question but what the hell is happening at espanyol
@@RabonaTV "McKennie good Caligiuri bad"
Schalke 04, the German Cruz Azul. hahahahahaha
It was a joke. End.😂
Thanks for this video fam. I started watching football heavy after the 2006 WC so i missed out on what Leeds were.
I always knew their Mgr was special seeing his time at Bilbao
forgot to mention Milan 73 controversy.... also the last english manager to win the highest league was in fact Howard Wilkinson.
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
Peter Ridsdale
is the worst thing that has happened to Leeds United.
...and all the other clubs thereafter.
Ken Bates: Hold my beer
Fans love it when the money gets spent. They're s bit more critical when it goes tits up.
Feologild ridsdale and florentino made a wrong decision that caused their clubs suffered an ultimate meltdown in 2004
@@stevemorison3787 I've read that without Ken Bates that there would be no Leeds United? I can see that he was perceived as a businessman looking to make money that made some questionable decisions, but what would have happened without him?
Waited for a video on Leeds for so long! So glad we’re back in the big time ALAW MOT
Bielsa>Ole
denying this would be criminal,absolutely criminal
nobody would fight you on that
Adrian! What a great vid. As a Man UTD fan I can't wait to see my team go to Elland Road again.
Was waiting for this one. Good job Adrian
One thing to cant take away from Adrian is his history of clubs. The dude is unique in that aspect 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
HITC sevens isn't a bad channel either...
Hahaha love the inclusion of the penguin. Great job as always, Adrian!
Loved it. Please do more of these kinds of videos.
2:39 When I hear his name my head always goes to that old chant about him.
It will be great to see Leeds Back at the EPL next season. Looking forward!!
Excellent video. Well made, well informed and very entertaining. Very weird to hear an American accent talk about our Yorkshire club. But good weird.
You are are dedicated football historian. Well done young man. Just got another sub.
Obviously I heard of Leeds before but never bothered to dig around a lower tier of football to watch them. They made a damn good impression in their opening match where they pushed Liverpool to their limits. It’s nice to hear about their history. Thanks Adrian love the videos bro 👍🏽
Thank you for this video. It was on my mind
Quality content.. keep up bro.. love from india❤️
Awesome stuff Adrian!!! I don't know any other football club whose history is as interesting and as controversial as Leeds!!!
As an Arsenal fan, I can't wait to play Leeds again. Our FA Cup tie was a great tactical battle and we were lucky to get the win, so it'll be great to see Bielsa in the Prem
Bro love your content especially the narration peace
I’m not a Leeds or Manchester United fan but I can’t wait to see them play each other
huge up leeds, liverpool fan myself but excited for the return of one of england’s great footballing cities to the prem
I'm happy for Leeds United this is the first time in my lifetime that I see Leeds in the Premier League
Man City is shit kid, I can guarantee you that you don't know any of their history but it's okay, I don't either because they don't have any
elmo mate why you talking trash about City after I was just complimenting Leeds United lmao, alright then Elmo who do you support and we will see which club is shit
elmo imagine calling a team like City shit when we won 4 EPL titles in the last 9 years and won it back to back with 198 points combined, idk what’s shit about it
elmo bro history doesn’t mean anything because arsenal and man United always rely on history to make their team relevant, and look at them now,struggling to get into a title race and only fighting for top 4
elmo mate I couldn’t get offended by you saying we have no history the team u support has probably done fuck all
I lived in northern Ireland for some years and I noticed Leeds is still a popular team having lots of supporters like man utd arsenal Liverpool everton
is it true that Northen Irish and Irish had some of sort beef bcs of religions? thats why North Ireland and Ireland are seperated ?
@@afiqdanialbinnorasmadi2273 that's a very complicated subject for a football video, if it's something that you're interested in I'd reccomend watching feature history's video on the troubles
Afiq Danial I’m irish pal and that’s a very long video on a completely different subject.
@@afiqdanialbinnorasmadi2273 Search, in this order, for videos about "The Irish Plantations", then "The Potato Famine" and then "The Troubles". That will bring you up to speed on why the politics of the island of Ireland is as it is today.
Such a great vid !
Nice video as always..keep it up bro...😍😍😍
Cheers Ayan!
Please make a video on Deportivo de la Coruna (mentioning a little about the "Djalminha" and "Juan Carlos Valeron" era)🙏🙏🙏.
And if possible please make a video on those two too.
Great video Adrian
Thanks Noelle!
Marcelo Bielsa is a straight baller. What a legend
Bielsa be off after 10 games
Always nice to see another video from adrian after lunch :)
P.S. Adrian this is off topic, but you should really talk about NK Celje's first title win in Slovenia in the next video.
Leeds United March On Together!!! LOVE THIS TEAM!!!
Manchester United vs Leeds United The Battle of the Roses is ON!!!!
The Leeds doc is amazingly well done.
how about Nottingham Forest?
Two time consecutive European Cup winners (extremely rare to do these days) to league one (that is, THIRD tier in the english football tree)!!
League Two is actually the fourth tier of english football.
@@bigboijimmyfungus sorry i meant league 1
The only club in Europe to "achieve" that record.
Oh dear.
First Leeds match I watched properly as a kid was the Leeds vs Man U match in the FA cup in 2009/10 season. The feeling when Leeds beat the biggest club in the world was indescribable to this day. #MOT 💙💛💙💛
Stick the vid of cardiff v leeds on in fa cup ninian park leeds shit themselves
Some good content. Considered doing some Rangers specific videos??
Can you make a video explaining how the new Europa league conference will work since its starting in 2 years??
A short video on where Leeds goals come from and why these areas are so productive for them. ua-cam.com/video/D2WKLY_frjA/v-deo.html
Going to be a exciting battle between bielsa and Klopp.
Brilliant video mate. Alaw 💙💛
leeds are the English Parma
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
I’d like a video on y Schalke haven’t been able to win the league and how they’ve failed despite producing top talent
Dirty Leeds is back 👏👏👏
Well Marcelo Bielsa will make them clean .
Like Angelina Jolie looks dirty.
What's upsetting is all the talented youngsters they developed they've had to sell on just to keep going. Youcould have assembled a decent home grown team with them.
Darren Huckerbys head in that opening team shot hahahhaha
Leeds really are a huge club with supporters all over England. Elland Rd is as intimidating a ground as it gets. Being the cities only club is a huge advantage though.
I'd be up for a more in depth video at Leeds under Ridsdale. The thinking behind it, the transfers, the results and the what ifs?
I always thought this was a reaction to Man Utd and how to beat their dominance, but badly thought out and executed.
Leeds United are a unique club. From the Champions League to League 1 in 6 years. I can't imagine any 19/20 champions league team to go down to the 3rd division in 6 years. Maybe they'll return to the Champions league soon under Bielsa.
Worth mentioning that the £60m they borrowed was meant to build a new West stand at Elland road. They had planning permission to build way back. But Peter Ridsdale changed his mind. He then wanted to build a new 50k capacity ground on the other side of Leeds & thought he could get naming rights from a Usa company to pay for the whole stadium. Also if that could happen he could sell the land at Elland road. So he gave the £60m & more to David Oleary to spend spend spend. Most on players they didn't need. Of course the naming rights never happened so all the money was wasted. That's how they got in a money mess.
The top 10 of the premier league will be so competitive it’ll be unreal
PL is gonna be tuff next season
This could be an interesting season I just can’t see them winning against Liverpool or Man City but miracles can happen
What is the background music? It was a bop.
If you wanna do more videos on financial mismanagement and falls from grace, should do one on portsmouth, however there is no revival and return as of yet
Leeds fan, interesting video.
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
This video gave me a Raboner ;)
And now Barcelona are following in our footsteps haha! Thank goodness this era is over.
Do a video on what happened to Sunderland
That club was cursed. Back in the day people thought they had one of the best young sides in the world. Kewell, Smith, Bridges, Woodgate and Robinson were all supposed to become big stars. To a lesser extent Bowyer and Hart were supposed to become much better than what they ended up as. Out of all of that young side the only one to have a world class career was Ferdinand. Keane did really well but never won a trophy. Most of the rest had their careers savaged by injuries. Bridges looked like the next great England striker in 99. Kewell basically had his pick of most of the worlds best clubs in 2003. When Woodgate was fit he was incredible wherever he went but was always injured. Robinson's form just seemed to fall off a cliff and Smith was probably the most overrated of the lot but still bagged a move to Manchester United when they went down. And then Riise murdered his leg.
Now can we have the roots of the rivalry video for Man Utd and Leeds?
That would be sick
Wolves
Sheffield
Leicester
And Leeds
Teams to look out for next season outside the big 6 , atleast according to me
M I missing someone ? 🤔
Spurs
Leeds are going to get relegated unless they sign someone who can score goals in the prem
The West Brom team is 🔥but obviously not as good as leeds
Everton
@@ADoseofEntertainment leeds may get cavani which would be unreal
1:21 Don Review 😂😂😂
Mistake at 12:45 - You said they finished first with a match to spare, when in fact we finished first with two matches to spare as West Brom and Brentford results between our 44th and 45th matches meant that we were already champions before the 45th match was played.
As a Manchester United fan, I remember Leeds United were a top side lead by a South African captain Lucas Radabe. Lucas Radabe was a solid centre back for Leeds United and South Africa.
Too bad since 2002 they planned poorly and got relegated in 2004 after selling their best players like Rio Ferdinand, Harry Kewell, Jonathan Woodgate and James Milner due to poor finance.
Marcelo Bielsa revived Leeds United with a passionate owner. Missed out on promotion last season but came back to claim promotion with authority. Bielsa will take on great managers like Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho, Nuno, Lampard and Arteta. Why Ole Gunner Solkjaer is not on the list? He is no where near good as Bielsa.
Bang on about Lucas. I had a season ticket at Leeds from 1979 till 2018. Lost my job then got myself in a money mess. Slowly getting sorted but cut backs meant no season ticket. Lucas was known as 'The Chief'. :)
This man loves the phrase “to boot”
Make a vedio on potential transfer list of leeds
Ridsdale was 'borrowing' money. Minor error there at 5:45. Good video otherwise. I always enjoy your content. Would like to see your thoughts on the COVID-19 effects on the current transfer window and financial situations for the top European clubs.
1:21 Don Revie not Review and 12:47 clinched first with two matches to spare.
You misspelt Revie as Review.
It's always interesting being a Leeds fan, not necessarily fun but interesting. MOT.
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
I met David o,Leary at Heathrow and he blamed Ridsdale fully he loved to be on tv or radio in his own self glory. it was all about him never mind that he nearly finished the club.
talks about leeds doesnt bring up the hatred between liverpool and leeds but brings up utd and leeds, all 3 clubs hate each other.
We all love Leeds
I genuinely think for most players, winning the play-off games in the EFL Championship to qualify for the Premier League would be more enjoyable, thrilling and fulfilling than winning any other competition aside from the World Cup.
Anybody agree? Or disagree? Think about it, winning the CL is an amazing satisfying feat, but it doesn't fundamentally change the level of your competition the following season, it doesn't suddenly promote you to the best league in the world, etc.
No one is gonna talk about how he said bankruptcy
And all of it about to be undone...
1997-2002 - we finished 5th, 4th, 3rd, 4th, 5th and reached 2 European Semi-finals but Peter Ridsdale and co financially ruined our club think we got ideas above our station but after 16 long years were back!!!! 💙💛
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
Interesting.
Dwelling on bad memories is all I have ever known as a Leeds fan till now
i wish leeds the best of luck in the premier league from a chelsea fan
You didn't mention that King Kenny was the one that suggested Leeds to the Owner
I hope they reach to play Europa or champions league soon
Opinion on Jorge Jesus returning to Benfica?
a club with 100mill debt just outside of europe wouldnt be a badly run club now. all the seasons leeds were in the prem was less revenue than being in the prem for one year now. only 3 champions league spots then aswell.
