| | Guardian Unlimited Football News Special investigation: crisis at Leeds United |
 | | Clubs like Newcastle and Leeds may experience ups and downs, they may even dip out of the Premiership for short periods, but they have one asset that is as solid as their stadiums: the loyalty of their fans. |
 | | The Premiership season by then under way would prove pivotal for Leeds United, and there is a strong argument that by the time it was over in May 2002, or at least by September of that year, the club was already doomed to disaster. |
 | | In the next two months Leeds did not win a single one of their nine matches, a run that included a miserable exit from the Uefa Cup, against PSV Eindhoven, as well as defeats by Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool, key rivals in the race for Champions' League qualification. |
