Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2022/23 season came as no surprise.
The club’s wisdom saw fit to bring in ‘Big Sam’ Allardyce in a frantic last throw of the dice, despite the fact that the all whites had long been contenders for the drop.

That was clearly doomed to fail as well, because the rot had set in towards the end of Jesse Marsch’s term, and possibly the worst mistake made by the previous administration was replacing him with Javi Gracia.
In any case, the all whites still feel extremely cheated, especially given that Everton were the club that stayed up at their expense.
According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United, Leicester City, and Burnley all want to sue the Toffees for £100 million if the Merseyside club is found to have broken spending restrictions.
All three appear to have sent a joint letter to 777Partners, who are planning to take over the club.
That might be jeopardized if an independent Premier League tribunal finds Everton guilty of any violations when the case is heard at the end of the month.
The three teams feel that any penalties handed down to Everton, including docked points, should have been handed down last season, in which case Leeds, for example, would have remained in the English top division and enjoyed all the benefits that come with it.

The case’s decision is likely to be a watershed moment for the team and its supporters, as they prepare to relocate to a new stadium.
100% right” – 23-y/o reveals delight that Jesse Marsch sold him from Leeds United
The Whites’ relegation to the Championship this season has demonstrated that most of the transfer business done during the Premier League was just insufficient.
There are many of regrets about how the club traded players and replaced important figures, but Leif Davis’ leave went unnoticed when Jesse Marsch sanctioned it, and he may have been a very useful retention now.
How is Davis faring?
Moving to Ipswich Town in the summer of 2022, while Kieran McKenna’s team was still in League One, seemed to telegraph the Tractor Boys’ intention to be in the second tier very soon.
They did just that with automatic promotion in 22/23, as Davis notched up 14 assists from left-back, assisting his side’s return to the second division, where he now confronts the team who sold him.
Despite putting Davis’ Ipswich to the sword with a 4-3 win in late August, McKenna’s men are looking very strong right now with seven wins from nine, second in the table and nine points ahead of Daniel Farke’s side.
What are his thoughts on leaving Leeds for Ipswich?
Davis appears to have made an inspired decision to switch Elland Road for Portman Road, with Ipswich riding high and Davis performing so brilliantly.
In an interview with TWTD, he stated:
“I was always confident that I was making the right decision, even if it was two leagues lower when I joined.” I made the correct decision, and I’ve never regretted it.
“I’m not just happy here, I’m very grateful to the club for bringing me here and I will always do whatever I can for them.”
The club’s infrastructure is a major reason why he believes Ipswich are also on the rise, he added:
“It’s incredible how the infrastructure has improved since I’ve been here – the stadium and training facility have both been renovated – and it demonstrates the owners’ dedication.”
“When it comes to playing, we’ve moved up a level and are more than holding our own in the Championship.”
“It’s also the fans’ club, and they’ve come out in force to support us.” What has transpired in a relatively short period of time is huge, and when you think about it, this is only the beginning. The club will soon be rocking.”
Leeds United v QPR predictions?
Davis is enjoying a fantastic season at Ipswich, and it’s encouraging to see that he is trusted by a management after a few years of not getting much of a chance at Leeds.
He was brought in for one-off games with no prospect of creating momentum, and it was unfortunate that we were promoted because the pressure of the Premier League is too much for him.
Instead of being thrown into the deep end of the Premier League, he appears to be in with a chance of earning his way into the top tier more organically if Ipswich are promoted.
It’s difficult not to be envious when we’ve suffered so much at left-back.
