As reigning English champions, they also competed in the European Cup. Season summary Manager Don Revie left after many successful years at Leeds to manage the England side. He was replaced by Brighton & Hove Albion's Brian Clough—this appointment raised many eyebrows, as Clough had often made public his disdain for both Revie and the playing style of his Leeds side, even clamouring for the club to be relegated on disciplinary grounds. As it turned out, Clough only lasted 44 days at Elland Road. He alienated several key players like Johnny Giles, Norman Hunter and Billy Bremnerhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/03/27/brian-clough-in-pictures-re-live-his-44-days-at-leeds-united-115875-21232521/ Brian Clough in pictures: Re-live his 44 days at Leeds United Daily Mirror UK dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090601005454/http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/03/27/brian-clough-in-pictures-re-live-his-44-days-at-leeds-united-115875-21232521/ 1 June 2009 11 July 2009 and reportedly, in his first training session, told the players to "throw [their] medals in the bin because they were not won fairly."Robinson Paul https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/the-ten-best-mass-insults-1799735.html?action=Popup&ino=8 The Ten Best Mass Insults 9 October 2009 The Independent 31 March 2014 London After a poor start which saw Leeds in 19th place after one win from the opening six games and only 4 points from a possible 12 won, the Leeds directors sacked Clough. Replacing Clough was Bolton Wanderers' Jimmy Armfield. Armfield, while unable to turn the club's fortunes around to finish higher than ninth, bought the Yorkshire club better success in the European Cup, with the club reaching the final against Bayern Munich in Paris. The German side won 2–0 in controversial circumstances, with two goals in 10 minutes late in the second half, but Leeds could have won the match, having denied two strong penalty appeals for fouls by Bayern's Franz Beckenbauer. Indeed, Leeds did get a goal in the 63rd minute, through Peter Lorimer, but Beckenbauer successfully convinced referee Michel Kitabdjian to consult with the linesman, who had not raised his flag; Kitabdijan subsequently indicated Lorimer was marginally offside. This decision to not allow the goal caused riots to break out amongst the travelling Leeds fans. The violence during the riots saw Leeds banned from European competition for four years (later reduced to two on appeal);'http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro75.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130111033704/http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro75.html usurped 11 January 2013 Season 1974–75 European Cup History.com 31 March 2014https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/jun/19/euro2000.sport3 England told: more rioting and you're out 19 June 2000 The Guardian 31 March 2014https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/05/99/uniteds_euro_showdown/347144.stm Unlucky Paris match for Leeds 19 May 1999 BBC News 31 March 2014 BBC but, as Leeds would not qualify for European competition again until 1979, the ban was never applied. Nonetheless, bitterness remains amongst the Leeds fans even today, due to their perception of being cheated of victory and the European Cup. Over 50 years on, Leeds fans can still be heard chanting at away matches "We are the champions, champions of Europe".
