There is no question; no doubt. The argument is a simple one. The Premier League is a better place when Leeds United are in it.
It is not a sentence, perhaps, that many will agree with at first glance. Leeds is a club that provokes far too strong a reaction – and often intense dislike – for rival fans to simply welcome them back with open arms.
But that is the whole point, Leeds makes you feel something, the mere mention of their name stirs something in the soul.
They are a club with so many rivals, so many teams who would love to beat them, who will look forward to playing them.
