Leeds fans group spell out changes needed at Elland Road

The Leeds United Supporters Trust feels changes are needed at the club if success is to return to West Yorkshire. LUST claims a growing number of fans feel there is a perceived lack of investment in players.

Skipper Jonny Howson has been sold to Norwich this week for £2million and LUST said in a statement: "The goal of Premier League football cannot be achieved by the repeated sale of our best players, or by continually allowing player's contracts to run down.

"We believe that our fans and players would like to see Leeds United show ambition, and to make timely and competitive contract offers that reflect the capabilities of a well run, financially stable club with a bright future."

LUST is urging the club to buy back Elland Road and its Thorp Arch training complex and added: "Our members tell us that attending games at Elland Road has almost become a chore. The atmosphere inside the ground has become as negative as we can ever remember it.

"Our members also tell us they feel alienated from their club and see themselves merely as cash cows with no say in how their hard-earned money is being spent."
