Looking at this season, it would be hard to say no to that question.
Redfearn has come in and steadied what looked like being a sinking ship and has managed to bring a couple of players in from exile who have made a big difference to his side as well.
Leeds are not the sturdiest of clubs, especially when it comes to keeping their managers but they may have finally found one who needs to be given a chance and a summer transfer window to work his magic -and without a transfer embargo hanging over them to boot!
