Season summary

edit

A turbulent February saw Reserve Team Manager Neil Redfearn in charge of the team for four games with Manager Simon Grayson relieved of his duties and replaced by veteran promotion specialist Neil Warnock.[2] Ross McCormack drastically improved his performance from the 2010–11 season by scoring 19 goals – the most in the squad. He narrowly lost out on Player of the Year to Robert Snodgrass who was made Club Captain by Warnock following the sale of influential local skipper Jonny Howson in January.[3] Young Player of the Year went to Tom Lees who led an injection of the youth into the side with Aidan White establishing himself in the starting line-up and debuts being handed to youngsters Zac Thompson, Charlie Taylor and keeper Alex Cairns.

Off the field, the club's directors reported a healthy profit of £3.5m,[4] but found themselves at war with some supporters following the controversial £7m summer renovation of the Elland Road stadium[5] – a summer which saw a contrasting £0.7m spent on players' transfers and £5.2m received in player sales. Chairman Ken Bates also came under scrutiny from fans following the departures of fans' favourite Howson and 2010–11 Player of the Year Max Gradel.[6]

Events

edit

This is a list of the significant events to occur at the club during the 2011–12 season, presented in chronological order (starting from 11 May 2011 and ending on the final day of the club's final match in the 2011–12 season. This list does not include transfers or new contracts, which are listed in the transfers section below, or match results, which are in the matches section.

June

edit
  • 30 June: The players return for pre-season training with only one new face, goalkeeper Paul Rachubka[8]

July

edit

October

edit
  • 21 October: It is revealed that a planned statue of former manager Don Revie by Graham Ibbeson, will be located opposite the East Stand of Elland Road.[12]
  • 24 October: The club announce that several new hospitality suites will open for the first time for the home game against Cardiff City on 30 October. The suites form part of the ongoing redevelopment of Elland Road's East Stand.[13]

November

edit
  • 8 November: Leeds receive the Level Playing Field Award following an audit of Elland Road to access its suitability for disabled staff and fans.[14]
  • 19 November: Simon Grayson announces that Andy O'Brien will not play for the club again after revealing that O'Brien refused to play in the match against Burnley[15]
  • 27 November: The club extends its sympathies to the family of former player Gary Speed who died earlier in the day, reportedly after committing suicide.[16][17] Leeds later announced that a new suite in the East Stand of Elland Road would be named in Speed's honour,[18] while the team wore black armbands and took part in a minute's applause for Speed before the away game against Nottingham Forest on 29 November and the home game against Millwall on 3 December.[19][20]

February

edit
  • 1 February: Simon Grayson is sacked as manager following the 4–1 home defeat to Birmingham City the previous day. In an official statement, the club's chief executive Shaun Harvey, stated that Leeds made the decision in the belief that "a new managerial team will be able to get more out of the existing squad of players" and ensure a play-off finish.[21] Reserve team manager Neil Redfearn is appointed caretaker manager with immediate effect.
  • 18 February: After nearly three weeks of speculation, Neil Warnock is announced as the new club manager with an 18-month contract.[22] A number of high-profile managers were confirmed to have applied for the post, including Raddy Antic,[23] Phil Brown,[24] Sven-Göran Eriksson[25] and Albert Ferrer.[26] Redfearn and his coaching staff return to their usual jobs at the club.
