Leeds United entered December in excellent form, with the Championship promotion race heating up all over the country, not just at Elland Road.
Despite a rocky start to the summer, Daniel Farke has assembled a team capable of anything, with their current form ranking among the best in the division.
That could mean a quieter January transfer window, though an unexpected windfall could be on the way for the 49ers Enterprises.
On September 21, AP reported that the Whites had again appealed a wage settlement with Jean-Kevin Augustin, this time to CAS over a £24.5 million outlay.
The hearing was scheduled for November 16, with no update from Switzerland or the club or player on the potential outcome, if any, so far.
If the 49ers’ legal team is more successful than Andrea Radrizzani was at the time, it could represent a significant windfall that can be used to fund transfers.
Overall, Farke will be pleased with the squad at his disposal, but with loan spots available and the possibility of bids for some of our star players, anything is possible.
Any Championship club would not turn down £24.5 million, and the owners would not have pursued another appeal if they did not believe they would be successful.
Some interesting developments are on the way, and if a response is received before the January transfer window, we may have a busier month than many had anticipated.
The 49ers will be waiting for that crucial response.
