destined for the sack at Elland Road<\/a>, but a monumental seven days against the biggest sides in the <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/premier-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Premier League<\/a> have changed everything.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/opinion\/dominic-calvert-lewin-wows-as-2-10-flop-dismal-leeds-united-player-ratings-vs-man-city\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds started with a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City<\/a>, before beating Chelsea and securing a dramatic draw with Liverpool at Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p>With January fast approaching, the <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/49ers-enterprises\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">49ers Enterprises<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/paraag-marathe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paraag Marathe<\/a> could reward Farke for his successful turnaround in LS11.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

that the positive turn in results will have an impact on January spending at Leeds, with Farke expected to be backed.<\/p>\n<p>The football finance expert did admit, however, that even sacking <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/daniel-farke\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Farke<\/a> would have led to that, with any new manager wanting new signings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it will have an influence on January spending,\u201d Plumley exclusively told <strong>MOT Leeds News<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would have done either way in truth, as any new manager would have probably wanted to bring in some new players anyway. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

Imago<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league position, as much as anything, will dictate what happens in January, so I would expect Leeds to spend a bit of money. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/wolves\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wolves<\/a> look gone, so you are then looking around you and working out what you think everyone else is going to do as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who could Leeds sign?<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/leeds-united-make-approach-to-sign-hibernian-star-just-like-john-mcginn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds have made an approach to sign Mulligan<\/a>, the Hibernian midfielder who has been compared to John McGinn already.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/leeds-united-make-approach-to-sign-star-who-cesc-fabregas-called-immense\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Martin Baturina is also liked at Elland Road<\/a>, another midfielder, potentially showing where Farke wants more depth.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

more attacking depth, but with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha forming a new physical partnership, the flair players such as Noah Okafor and Willy Gnonto could now rotate centrally.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Leeds are set to be very busy as they look to maintain their Premier League status under Farke, with the opportunity to stretch the gap to the bottom three coming up against Brentford, Crystal Palace and Sunderland before 2026 arrives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoyed this article?<\/strong>\u00a0Stay connected with all the latest Leeds United news, updates, and
