Football teams decay. This erosion naturally occurs over time, like harsh weather battering coastal cliffs. Players get older, injured, and sold. Regimes change and philosophies tend to shift with them.
Weโre witnessing the much beloved Championship-winning Leeds United transitioning into its next era. Bielsa, Hernandez, Alioski, Berardi, Douglas, Phillips and now Klich have departed. Iโm not suggesting Pablo and Gjanni are comparable in terms of quality or sentiment, but they were both familiar faces from an incredible era. Time forces evolution and progress; were there a way to de-age Pablo I imagine weโd have crowdfunded that years ago. As there isnโt, however painful it is, Leeds United marches on.
