Leeds United took a while to get their promotion run going in 23/24 due to a huge overhaul, but they could be on the other side of that next season.

After relegation from the Premier League, everything was about to change and Leeds badly needed it, starting with the long-awaited takeover of the club by the 49ers.

Since then, the overhaul has trickled down to the playing side, with the team getting drastic changes in August that came to fruition late on, allowing Leeds to put their poor start behind them and hit the ground running.

Unlike the 2023 summer window, there is far less uncertainty hampering Leeds’ efforts to stage a rebuild under the 49ers.

The takeover is complete, the boardroom has been effectively restructured with a much bigger recruitment setup, the manager is in the door and backed to succeed and the playing squad will get the attention it needs.

For the team, there will be exits, it won’t be a mass exodus, and the club’s PSR position means they will be able to reinvest to replace each exit.

With Leeds dropping seven points from their opening three games and finishing six adrift of second by the end of the regular season, such margins are vital to get close.

Elsewhere in the Championship, there will be many changes for the teams who will be considered Leeds’ main rivals for the top two.

Burnley should be considered one of the favorites given their squad and the way they ran the league in 22/23, but they have now lost the man who led their title-winning season in Vincent Kompany, who joined Bayern Munich.

A change in management will mean the Clarets will need patience for whoever replaces him to pass on their style.

As for Luton Town, their changes won’t be too massive under Rob Edwards, unless another top-flight club wants to snap him up.

Sheffield United may end up retaining Chris Wilder as boss, but the Bramall Lane side are in dire need of investment and it’s hard to see how they can do that immediately with very few salable assets – and a two-point deduction to boot torn off.

Meanwhile, fifth-placed West Brom may lose Carlos Corberan if Leicester look to replace Enzo Maresca, who is at the helm at Chelsea, weakening another promotion contender.

David Wagner left Norwich City just hours after being pipped by Leeds, his replacement being Johannes Hoff Thorup – another transition set for a top-six side from last season, while Hull City have lost players on loan and must replace Liam Rosenior. .

When you add to that the lack of an Ipswich Town-style unicorn coming out of League One – perhaps Portsmouth can surprise a few – then you have an overall weaker division in 24/25 that could take time to get going, while Leeds should look to hit this promo fee right from minute one.
