Leeds won't have the same threat next season in the Championship
If they don't go up this year then they'll have to curb their outgoings to comply with FFP (2 years of Bielsa hasn't been cheap). They've already committed to buy Helder Costa for £15m in the summer, even through he is struggling for game time with them on loan at the moment. Even if Bielsa wanted to stay they may struggle to afford him, or if they did then this would harm their spending elsewhere. Their best players from this season would also no longer be at the club (Phillips will be sold if they don't go up, White will go back to Brighton as his parent club).
All in all, I think it's promotion this year for Leeds or they may have to face up to a couple more years at least in the Championship (as well as probably getting new owners to replace Radrazzini).
