Or neither

Promotion without the emotion

Our last promotion needed an alchemist. That, says Miles Reucroft, doesn’t underrate what Daniel Farke has done.

Something stirring

The one that got away?

Giuseppe Bellusci played 61 times for Leeds. That left an impression on Miles Reucroft.

Pipe down

Silence, please

Amid the loud clamour for minutes of silence, Miles Reucroft asks, for whom should we be quiet?

Building or burning

Empire of arson

From El Loco, Leeds United plunged into insanity, writes Miles Reucroft.

Castles made of sand

Lots of popular players have left Leeds before. But, says Miles Reucroft, Mateusz Klich made sure he’ll be remembered.

No trapeze

Radrizzani’s circus continues to captivate

Roll up, roll up, for another flirtation with relegation. A high wire act can be fun to watch, says Miles Reucroft, but do the risks outweigh the entertainment?
