About: Doing a Leeds

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

"Doing a Leeds" is an English football phrase which is synonymous with the potentially dire consequences for domestic clubs in financial mismanagement. The phrase arose after the rapid decline of Premier League club Leeds United F.C., who invested heavily in the late 1990s and early 2000s to attain domestic and lucrative European success, which was capped by high profile appearances in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League. However, in the process, the club built up large debts, and suffered financial meltdown after failing to continue to qualify for the competition, subsequently dropping down two levels of the football pyramid, into the third tier, Football League One.

  • "Doing a Leeds" is an English football phrase which is synonymous with the potentially dire consequences for domestic clubs in financial mismanagement. The phrase arose after the rapid decline of Premier League club Leeds United F.C., who invested heavily in the late 1990s and early 2000s to attain domestic and lucrative European success, which was capped by high profile appearances in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League. However, in the process, the club built up large debts, and suffered financial meltdown after failing to continue to qualify for the competition, subsequently dropping down two levels of the football pyramid, into the third tier, Football League One. Since the creation of the Premier League, a total of 24 of its former clubs have been relegated to League One, of which seven fell down further into the fourth tier (Football League Two) and one of these further into the fifth tier (the National League). Because they had never previously experienced relegation to League One or its predecessors, Leeds were the object of careful observation by media and derision by rival fans. (en)
  • 「Doing a Leeds」是專指英格蘭一些足球會因財政管理不善而可能造成嚴重後果的一個代名詞。這詞源於2000年代，當時仍在英超的列斯聯（Leeds United A.F.C.，即此術語所指的「Leeds」）投入巨大的資金而打進歐聯四強，不過在過程中卻欠下大量債務。當列斯聯未能再次取得歐聯資格後，球會遇上嚴重的「財務危機」，隨後降班至英甲，這是球會歷史上首次第三級別聯賽。 (zh)
