Leeds - corner turned?
By Andy Baggtt
December 4 2012
For the first time in a long, long time, Leeds fans have had a good couple of weeks. New owners, and 3 wins on the spin - has the corner been turned?
The ownership situation is certainly a step in the right direction, but we fans are naturally cautious. For various reasons, including the fact that the deal is not yet complete, we still know next to nothing about GFHC. Stories about their money, or lack of it keep cropping up. Is there a pot of money to spend, or a welathy invester in the background? Are there plans to buy back Elland Road and Thorpe Arch? What's the short, medium and long term strategy? These, and countless other questions will need to be cleared up before a basic level of trust can be established..
The playing side seems on the up as well - three wins on the spin against some good opposition - Leicester, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield - as well as improved performance. The return of Ross McCormack has helped, as well as the loans of Thomas and Tate. Too early to say the corner has been turned, but we, at last, seem to be going in the right direction. It's vital we do as well - because even if we do have some money to spend in January, we need to put ourselves in a position where we can make a run for the top 6 - those 9 points out of 9 are certainly a start. Too early to say the corner has been turned, but maybe we are seeing the first green shoots of recovery...

I'm allowing myself a little optimism. More so when we know for certain the January spending pot.

They know they have the ability to play as good football as any in this league beter than most.You can see the confedets running through the team somthing we have not seen this season and if they keep showing the desires to win as they have over the last 3 games and we can get 2-3 more class players in this Jan then they will make the top 6 .
Bringing in the two lone players as made a difference but you cannot underestimate the impact the takeover as had on the playes.
To know there is Futcher in front of the club and not just stagnation .
To be appreciated by the owners and not treat with contempt and made to feel like a unwanted nasesaty that as been brought in on the bottom of ken bates shoes and can look forward to nothing more that been scraped off and cast aside when it takes Bates fance.
This to me is the real change at the club the players and manager have somthing to play for
