It really is funny how people can totally misunderstand a club's stature in the game. Leeds most certainly aren't a TOP club right now, but BIG club...well, yes. You see, Leeds have a proud history with three League Championships to their name, a couple of European trophies, FA Cup and League Cup. The club has also made it to a European Cup Final (in the days when it really was for Champions) and the semi-finals of the modern-day Champions League. Just because the club was ruined by some charlatans posing as football men doesn't mean you suddenly ignore what has happened in it's illustrious past.
Leeds also supplied many great International players over the years, and still have a proud tradition of developing excellent young footballers from their internationally renowned Academy. There are very few clubs that can boast a history similar to that of Leeds United. Now here is the thing, what makes a club big is not the money they get thrown at them for "playing" in the Premiership, but rather their supporters, and this is where Leeds are second to none. The club is recognised and has followers world wide, and the famous white shirt can be seen in many places across the globe.
So, you see Cardiff fans, our proud history is something that you can never take away from us, and just because we appreciate what great players have achieved in the white shirt does not mean we live in the past. At least we have a history to celebrate. The truth is, and you all know this, Leeds will eventually return to the top flight where they belong, and our time in League One and the Championship will be remembered as a sobering reality check that made us appreciate our great club even more, and then we will be a TOP club once again. After all Cardiff fans, would you really say Wigan are a BIGGER club than you just because they are in the Prem? Oh, and what about Swansea? So please don't get BIG and TOP confused again.
