Having witnessed a previous ownership group squander what represented a golden opportunity to consolidate Premier League status, 49ers Enterprises are not about to do the same.
Running parallel to that is the planned expansion of Elland Road to a modern, 53,000-seater stadium with enhanced corporate facilities, which is seen as pivotal to the 49ers legacy.

But if they struggle again, those big, bold plans will be a very difficult sell to Leeds fans who notoriously don’t suffer fools gladly.
You suspect that Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a striker with enough ability to tempt Manchester United, Newcastle and even AC Milan into having some serious discussions about recruiting him this summer, will be central to Leeds’ hopes this season.
He pinched fouls, held the ball up and also scored a fine headed goal. There is a reason why he was in the England squad not that long ago.

The feeling within his camp was always that he just needed an arm around his shoulder and a team willing to play a way that suits his style.
In manager Daniel Farke and a Leeds team willing to take the handbrake off when appropriate, it might just have found that.
