Paraag Marathe - Welcome to Leeds

[Jaydog]

It would save a lot of time if new members were vetted by Kenny prior to them being allowed to post.

Save a lot of time for what? I feel like I’ve gone back to school and a bully is on the loose. Oooh I’m very scared. Not. There needs to be an after the whistle thread on here. For all the people who said I said this that or the other but definitely didn’t and now saying they did. Too long a title probably

Nah that's not fair or right.

It's not a problem at all to me what they say, it just quite simply tells me what level of football intelligence they're at, it's for my sake really, anyone that couldn't see what Bert was all about and trying to achieve for us is not worth reading.

There's only certain posters i can be arsed to read, you wouldn't believe the amount i skip past now.

Can't wait for the season to start.

It's absolutely nothing like that at all, i've reached the point with all the drivel wrote about Bert that i just can't be arsed with anyone that couldn't see what he was all about.

It speaks volumes to me if someone was blind to everything he was trying to achieve for LUFC and i'm better off just avoiding them.

Quite simple really and no harm intended.

[Kennyb41]

He wouldn't let me post despite me saying over and over it was a massive mistake to sack Bielsa and staying a Bielsa truther all along..

In my lifetime it's the Don and Marcelo that sit firmly atop the best manager rankings since 1960...

I absolutely know you were 100% behind him Faaip.

But jeez i tried umpteen times to try and see your support for Orta, but couldn't find nowt, i must admit you nearly reasoned with me once, by making me scratch my head and wonder if i was wrong about him.

But then i woke up.

I've been, and continue to be suspicious of 49ers Enterprises. Mostly because I have an aversion to venture capitalists. But I listened to the interview with Paraag Marathe the other day. Have to say that I was impressed with what he said. I feel that under his leadership the club will get better organized. We will become more professional. And the upgrades to Elland Road will become reality. All of which is good. But I still wonder if they are willing to make the investment on the pitch that will allow us to compete for trophies. Time will tell.

As for Radrazanni and Orta good riddance!! They only got two things right. They hired Marcelo Bielsa and secured the future of Elland Road. Everything else was a disaster!

Not a Raphinha fan?

I'm looking at the big picture. Not going to analyze each individual signing. On balance they got it mostly wrong.

Agree with all.

I suppose what either you or Cjay said (i forget who) that for them to flip and make money they'll probably have to achieve success in form of promotion, i'm hoping they realise how big Leeds can be with probable 60,000 crowds and invest in Elland Rd.

If they don't do fck all their investment will stand still for donkeys years.

[Cjay]

Is the club still being ran day to day by idiot Kinnear whilst he communicates with Marathe by sporadic zoom calls?

Or has our Chairman come to the country and taken control?

If it's number 1 then that isnt good enough.

Still uneasy with all these random faceless investors.

Never heard of them

Looks as though the 49ers are trying to raise some cash.

Hopefully they're doing it with an eye toward spending it.

Alex Smith and Brady Quinn are ex NFL QB. Malcolm Smith has a super Bowl ring from his time as a backer for the Squawks. He was MVP in that game too IIRC, remember it well.

Nice to know

But selling off little bits of the club is how we got in this mess in the first place when Radz tried to use other people's money.

Just makes me uneasy and still don't trust venture capital funds.

[billysboots]

I don’t have a head for business, I thought the 49ers had plenty of cash themselves.

I used to have one but it got stolen ... police were useless

[Cjay]

Shows why the venture capital fund wanted ownership.

6th highest shirt sales revenue in the Premier League for 2023.

More than Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Celtic, Rangers and Inter Milan.

Potential of this club is massive.

Add him to the list

I think it's funny that Russell Crowe replied. The guy only has 21 followers.
