'Lunacy' – Stan Collymore slaps down Leeds claim on Twitter

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds United will be setting their sights on promotion once more, after failing dismally last season.

After a fast start under new manager Thomas Christiansen, that saw them lead the way after the first few weeks of the season, it all went horribly wrong at Elland Road.

Christiansen was sacked after a poor run of form saw them drop down the table.

And that run of form was compounded under new manager Paul Heckingbottom - whose future is still under mounting speculation.

And one high-profile pundit thinks that Leeds have got no chance of getting into the top-flight next season.

Responding to a fan offering him a bet for charity, £500 that Leeds will go up next season, Collymore replied saying, "Come on pal, there's charity and there's lunacy."

He softened the blow by adding a winking emoji at the end, but most Leeds fans would probably admit that he's right – unless something dramatic happens at Elland Road in the summer.

Leeds are currently joint 7th favourites for promotion, along with Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday, at 13/2.
