Favourite eras
Saw this on twitter
Taken the Revie years as obviously first
This was the vote
Would have thought Wilko would have won tbh but maybe it's a generation thing?
Younger fans on social media

Re: Favourite eras
Erm, a major omission!!!!
Revie's team over 10 years, was the greatest team in England and one of the best and most feared in Europe.
Bielsa's team didn't come close to such greatness, sorry Marcelo.
Young twatter fans, what do they know

Re: Favourite eras
Toss up between Wilko and Bielsa, both bought this club back to life after years in the doldrums, both unique characters
I have
Revie
Bielsa/Wilko
Farke
O'Leary
Armfield
No one else in my lifetime needs to be on that list

Re: Favourite eras
Yeah guessing an age thing as realistically fans would have to be 40+ to have really appreciated the title win and even 30+ to remember the DOL side.
As such for the youngsters it then boils down to Bielsa v Farke and the Bielsa has the nostalgia and the fact that it had followed all the years of mediocrity. I feel Farke doesn't get the praise he should.
For me it would be the WIlko years and would include winning promotion in that era as that 3 year period came from nowhere.

Nothing surpasses the Revie-era.
If you lived through it, one would understand.

Re: Favourite eras
I said in the op the Revie years was left out deliberately as obviously that would have won

Re: Favourite eras
May not have won tbf for the generation reasons.
Probably not a huge amount of people who remember the Revie years on twitter

Our most successful era in my memory and most exciting.
Not surprised Bielsa won for the generation reason though
It also has the uniqueness factor, O'Leary the same.

Re: Favourite eras
I loved Bielsa, but as I posted previously, he doesn't even come close!
Farke is in front of him now, probably due to working under a higher grade managerial team.
Our club is now being run effectively & efficiently.

Re: Favourite eras
Not a lot of people on twitter will remember the Wilko era, you'd need to be around 50 or older to remember that properly

Re: Favourite eras
Wilko.
Had a season ticket and went to roughly half of the away games in 89/90 and 91/92 for both titles.
The last season it was a fairly level playing field,financially.

Re: Favourite eras
From rags to riches!
Incredible times, apart from that great Leeds team, I saw the likes of Jimmy Greaves, George Best, Denis Law, Pat Jennings, Bobby Charlton, Gordon Banks & the rest of the '66/70/74 World Cup squad players, not forgetting that fantastic Celtic team plus the great European teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Ferencváros, Juventus, AC Milan & many more!
