yep, the fact is that we underachieved massively with the squad last season

because we had players that Prem sides were willing to pay big money for. Leeds didn't. We had a much stronger squad than them last season - which we failed to use effectively.

So them spending more relatively this season shouldn't suddenly mean that they look light years ahead of us. That is simply down to the fact that their manager is much better than ours.
