The 2007–08 season was Leeds United's first ever season in the third tier of English football following relegation from the Football League Championship the previous season.

Season summary

For much of the summer of 2007, there were many doubts about whether or not Leeds would even survive until their first-ever season in the third tier, with the club massively in debt by League One standards, and having few assets to their name thanks to having sold off Elland Road and their training ground during their previous spell in administration in 2003–2004. The club's failure to agree a company voluntary arrangement with their creditors (most notably the HMRC) saw them suffer the indignity of becoming the first Football League club since Barnet in 1993 to be put up for an expulsion vote. The other clubs ultimately voted for Leeds to retain their League status, but also to be subjected to a 15-point deduction.

Despite this, and many predictions that they would suffer what would have been a third relegation in four years, the team won their first seven games and effectively eliminated the 15-point deduction. Results began to slip after assistant manager Gus Poyet left to join Tottenham Hotspur as assistant manager in November, and then their form further declined after manager Dennis Wise himself departed to become director of football at Newcastle United. Former club hero Gary McAllister returned as manager, but struggled to turn their form around, leaving them looking hopelessly off the play-off race by mid-March. However, a late flurry of wins saw Leeds finish 5th in the league, qualifying them for the play-offs. In the play-off semi-finals, the club beat Carlisle over two legs, booking them a place at Wembley in the final. However, dreams were shattered when the team were beaten 1–0 by Doncaster, resigning the club to a second season in League One.

Jermaine Beckford had an impressive first full season with the club, being named League One Player of the Year and scoring over 20 goals in the process. The club recorded the highest attendance in the country outside the Premier League, in the 2–1 victory against Gillingham in May.
