Something almost magical started just before Christmas 2014 when a group of Leeds United fans, who each had previously expressed frustration with the desperate state of Leeds United Football Club on social media, blogs and forums, got around a table and talked of possible solutions. That group has now become a movement of many, many more fans (“Leeds Fans Utd”), one which will effect change at the
heart of Our Club. We all had our individual thoughts on the club but the over-riding theme was how we lamented the loss of the family community within supporters. The noise level going quieter around the ground, the lack of youth having a club to fall in love with, the division between supporters. We’ve also seen how owners and directors have used football clubs to boost their own egos, to line their own pockets, only to be absent when times get tough. We want stability in the boardroom and we’ll do it by putting our own directors there. We want good financial governance at Our Club and we’ll do it by becoming owners ourselves. We want to leave our owners to do their job so we can concentrate on football and we’ll do that by having our directors on the board.
