Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United well-placed in bid to establish new legacy in Premier League - David Prutton

It raises questions of how Marcelo Bielsa's Whites side would fare in the Premier League.

It puts into real historical focus when you think about how much of an achievement that was by Leeds to win the league just two years after going up.

There was also the example of Nottingham Forest going up and then winning the league and the European Cup in the late 1970s but that is a different era once more.

With that Leeds side of 1992 and also 1990, you look at the quality of the squad they had, the personnel and the characters.

There was the likes of Gordan Strachan and many a player has spoken glowingly about when he rocked up and how good he was and the discipline, motivation and drive that he embedded in that team. Leeds had a lot to be thankful for.

Obviously Leicester City are a recent example you would use as they were in League One as recently as 2009 and seven years later they were Premier League champions, two years after winning the Championship.

There was also the Forest side that went up in the early 90s who got up with Frank Clark and they managed to get into Europe and the UEFA Cup the following season.

Sheffield United are the most recent example in terms of how well they have done and how they have done it and Southampton are another team who have gone up and established themselves and also Bournemouth which is ironic given that we are talking about Leeds winning the old Division Two title at Bournemouth in 1990.

In any potential promotion winning season, you look at the following season and I think the players that have got you there deserve a crack and that would especially be the case if it happens with Leeds.

But the Premier League is so competitive now and there is no clear demarcation than Leeds winning the final old First Division title and what football has become now.

Everyone has got their opinion on it and whether it is better or worse or whether it has lost something it had or gained that wonderful worldwide appeal.

It really has grown extensively and has become a brand around the world.

We have been treated to some glorious Premier League titles and showdowns so we can be nostalgic but you have got to realise that things progress.

There are teams in the Premier League for whom survival is the first port of call and survival is success to a portion of teams because it is another season in the top league and the revenue that comes with that and the cache of being a Premier League side and that helps around the world.

But it also reaffirms what it is to be Leeds fan as you go through thick and thin and then hopefully get that rarified air again and enjoy it for as long as possible.

In terms of how this Leeds team would fare, I see a lot of fight, I see a very fit team and I see what we saw from them playing against Arsenal in the FA Cup for 45 minutes.

But that's 45 minutes against a side who needed a massive kick up their backside at half-time to get something out of the game.

From the point of view of the characters they have got and the motivation, drive, determination and the application, I don't think Leeds would be found wanting in the Premier League.

I just think there are the sides there built to survive, not necessarily win many, many Premier League matches but sides there that know how to stay in the division and that's what Leeds are going to learn if they go get up there.

That is going to have to be their first port of call.

It puts it into focus because we have spoken about Norman Hunter in recent weeks and now Trevor Cherry who has sadly passed away too and how successful he was with Leeds.

You talk about Strachs and the team he was part of with Gary Speed and Gary McAllister and Lee Chapman.

When you talk about Leeds' best ever players they are very much in the conversation and you also look at the last bunch that were there punching and batting away with the big boys, Rio Ferdinand, Lucas Radebe, Jonathan Woodgate and Lee Bowyer and players like that.

It falls into that debate for the ages about how footballers of a different era would have fitted in now .

There's things that would have suited them, there's nuances to the game perhaps that have changed that would make part of it feel slightly alien to them.

But I just think about how ultra competitive and cutthroat the Premier League is.

It would be a glorious return for Leeds but very quickly reality would kick in and that's really when the business part of the season would start - from the first whistle of the first minute of the first game of them back in the Premier League.
