‘Fantastic stuff’, ‘Immense’ – Many Leeds fans react to official club update
Leeds United enjoyed almost the perfect campaign last season in the Championship.
Despite a mid-season blip and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Whites charged to the title by 10 points and returned to the Premier League after a 16-year wait.
Marcelo Bielsa was eager to give his squad the plaudits, but he must take a massive pat on the back for the achievements at Elland Road.
El Loco took home the LMA Championship Manager of the Year award, and plenty of his squad were also credited with awards for their achievements.
Leeds defender Luke Ayling was nominated for the PFA Fans’ Player of the Year in the Championship recently but faced strong competition from the likes of Ollie Watkins and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Ayling sent a message to the Elland Road faithful, joking with them over whether or not they had become complacent after promotion.
He got his answer on Wednesday, as he cruised his way to the award – many thanks to the Leeds fans who never like to lose a public vote.
It isn’t hard to see why Ayling now has his hands on that award, with the 28-year-old becoming a real leader in West Yorkshire.
Ayling was Leeds’ best player according to WhoScored, earning an average match rating of 7.26 ahead of the likes of Pablo Hernandez and Kalvin Phillips.
Many Leeds fans have reacted to the announcement on Wednesday, with the majority claiming it was never in doubt.
