On Sunday, Leeds United avoided financial disaster by staying in the Premier League, beating Brentford FC in London. Another year of Premier League soccer guaranteed that the club would be able to hang onto most of their star players after a disastrous season that saw the club fire Marcelo Bielsa, the legendary manager who had become a cult figure at Elland Road.
While at least one or two players may leave, the club will not have a repeat of 2004, when the club went into a tailspin that resulted in two relegations, bankruptcy, and a series of dodgy owners.
