Paraag Marathe needs to achieve five-year plan at Leeds

Going off the parade it’s clear that the Whites can’t find themselves in the position of the second tier again.

Leeds belong as a top flight side and 150,000 fans for a Championship title parade exemplifies that.

With their status as a club ranking them in the top eight biggest clubs in England, this associates with what Paraag Marathe wants to achieve.

In five years, the ownership want Leeds as a top-eight Premier League club proving their ambition.

Adding onto this, Marathe wants Leeds to be Europe’s best, but the focus at the moment should be staying afloat in the top flight.
