Lots of Leeds United fans were left in awe by comments made by former Rangers striker Ally McCoist about Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
The Whites are on the brink of returning to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years following their 1-0 victory over Swansea City on Sunday.
Speaking to talkSPORT Breakfast on Monday, McCoist hoped that Leeds make their long-awaited return to the top flight, in memory of Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter and Trevor Cherry who have all sadly passed away recently.
Is it inevitable that Leeds will be in the Premier League next season?
Yes
No
The North Yorkshire outfit are top of the Championship and are three points clear of West Bromwich Albion in second. With Brentford on 78 points in third, this means that victory against Barnsley on Thursday will confirm their top-flight return.
Unsurprisingly, supporters were full of praise for McCoist and made their feelings clear on social media. One fan said that he is “easily the best pundit that there is”, while another simply put, “well said”.
Always liked Ally McCoist!
