NOW and THEN

Like many disappointed fans I now intend to not really think about Leeds United much until August. My feelings about the coming season may well be completely different by then.

I decided to record my THEN prediction, and then add my NOW prediction on day 1 of the new season. It would be interesting to assess the general feeling over a large sample so feel free to add yours using the suggested options for guidance.

1 - Champions
2 - 2nd
3 - Play-off lottery
4 - Another season down (at least)
5 - Struggle
6 - Drop further


THEN (30 May 2023) - 4
NOW (TBA)

1 all day long 114 points, 35 wins 9 draws 2 defeats, 110 goals for 44 goals against... Just call me Mystic Macca!

Like you, Gorran, I also intend not to think about Leeds until August, but easier said than done. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone other than Leeds fans are mourning our relegation, which is sad given that we spent 16 years telling ourselves the top tier needed us. Just three seasons ago we were genuinely greeted as sleeping giants returning, but after a stunning first season, we simply burnt out. Whether we come back up after one season or 10, one thing's for sure – to most, we'll be just another club and that, for me, is a tragedy.

4 at present.

Feel the ownership issues could really cripple the season with no manager / transfers man in place and lots of issues with contracts.

This prediction was on the understanding Radz was no longer involved so now with news that he looks like sticking around my confidence over Leeds racking up a record points and goals total next season has been severely knocked.

Therefore I'm predicting playoffs at best now unfortunately unless Radz has had an epiphony changed his ways, said a fair few Hail Mary's and Our Father's and fully absolved himself then maybe we can have a successful relatively stress free season.... The jury is out though!

After a brief increase in optimism following Marathe's initial interview following the takeover, my expectancy for 2023/24 is back at 4.

Hope they prove me wrong.

Similar to LIW thought we would be in a position to stroll the league. Loan clauses screwed us.
Parachute payments allow us to cover a huge wage bill. Player sakes then fund transfers. Obviously that’s not happened.

Still in with a chance of Autos and expect us to at least challenge them. Play offs maybe more likely at the moment.
