Disagree, Leeds look a long way off returning to the Premiership.For sure some arrogance. But also most likely true.

3-3In the past 5 years it's 3-2 to the Blades
imagine witnessing Lancashire XI vs Yorkshire XI …Yorkshire has generally always been rubbish at football comparatively speaking. By comparison Lancs has over 130 trophies with Man Utd and Liverpool both having more than of Yorkshire put together.
The arrogance of football fans is widely accepted. But the arrogance of a club chief administrator towards another club is just crass. But presume he’s just playing the big bombastic Leedsy fan, tossing a bit of red meat to his new fan base to curry favour…Before it all goes tits up of course.Is that statement arrogant from Leeds? Yes. Are they a bigger club? Yes. Does that bother me, no. In fairness to Leeds, are they any different to any other club of a similar size? I don't think for one minute Leeds fans are more arrogant than Villa fans, Forest fans and we all know what our nearest neighbours are like on this score but they've been that crap for so long that they are no longer as arrogant as they were; they're still deluded and arrogant, but not as much as before.
Granted, it's someone from Leeds who has come out and made this statement as opposed to another team, I think he could have phrased it much better and said the same sentiment. As I say, we know Leeds are bigger but as proved by the last twenty years, having a big fan base does not guarantee a place in the PL, let alone success in the PL. Clubs like Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford and Stoke have proved that you can stay there for long periods and have more sustained periods in the top flight than the likes of Leeds who have only spent 3 seasons in the top flight since 2001. I think what their chap fails to acknowledge is that Leeds MIGHT be in the PL next season. He talks about it as if it's guaranteed they'll be back there and it's guaranteed we'll be back in the Championship. Well I'm certainly not so sure of Leeds coming back and they're by no means in a position to be arrogant over clubs like ours. However, does it bother me? Genuinely it doesn't because as I say, I expect this sort of mantra from Leeds, Forest and Wednesday fans.

Relative league positions wise we’ve been roughly on par for the last 20 years. I wonder why he thinks somebody like Cameron Archer is going to care about Leeds whose last real success was about a decade was before he was born and forgo guaranteed Premiership football for that.
I remember about 10 years ago we couldn’t compete with Crawley Town on wages and lost Billy Clarke to them which was frustrating. Likewise a lot of top European teams will bemoan losing talent to the Saudi league, but to complain about a player turning you down to play at higher level is mental.
They had a wealthy backer at the time if memory serves and had a half decent team.“I remember about 10 years ago we couldn’t compete with Crawley Town on wages and lost Billy Clarke to them which was frustrating”
I can’t remember this but please tell me that’s not the reason he didn’t come to us.
