I think it is more tangible than belief. We have a man in charge who has proven success at reigniting a dromant club, although I appreciate Leeds had not been in as big a slumber as ourselves.

I'd say they were in a bigger slumber. They'd been trying without success for years and years to win trophies and have been signing top players since I started watching regularly in the 80s. We've only been able to compete resource wise since 2004/2005.

Don't forget that Leeds had made CC & GF appearances five years prior to Smith's arrival. Although I totally agree with the resources comment.
