Just an idea; there were rumours of Uwe meeting up with some of our brass not long ago; could he be one of the managers, like Ronny Deila, who has been influenced by City's methods & therefore seen as a safe place for us to loan players ?
A relationship with Leeds in that respect would be great for us & for them, as they would probably pick up the odd bargain from our academy that we couldn't keep & we would get some of our young players tested at a proper club, in proper games, with a manager we can trust.
And they can knock us out of the FA Cup.
