1993–94 season of Leeds United
Leeds United 1993–94 football season
The 1993–1994 season saw Leeds United competing in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).
Season summary
After last season's 17th-place finish and failure to win away from home, one season after winning the league title, Howard Wilkinson decided to bolster his squad in order to avoid another torrid season. He paid a club record £2.7 million for Sheffield United striker Brian Deane and by Christmas he had paid a further £2 million for Manchester City midfielder David White . Leeds were now well on the road to recovery, and that recovery process was completed at the end of the season when they finished fifth in the final table.
