So after 16 painful seasons, Leeds United finally returned to the Premiership where a club of that status belongs!!
They did it without kicking a ball thanks to local rivals Huddersfield Town beating WBA 2-1.
In a year when they have lost three of their great 1970’s team Jack Charlton, Trevor Cherry and Norman Hunter.
Marcelo Bielsa has got us back where these three great players performed in the then top division and Europe.
A few days later, Leeds were confirmed as champions of the Championship league.
Back in the Premiership after 16 years !! -

This week I had a Zoom meeting with Nikki and my market advisor (Graeme) from Brewin Dolphin. These would be the people monitoring my portfolio making sure my investment was doing the best it could, especially during these pandemic times, I knew this wasn’t going to be easy.
As explained, it’s the long journey, as it will be a roller-coaster ride and no one really knows what is going to happen in these very unusual times!!
