‘This weekend’: Journalist shares what he’s now heard about the Leeds takeover
The San Francisco 49ers wanted the takeover of Leeds United d♔one by this weekend according to Graham Smyth.
The journalist was speaking on the about the ownership situation at Leeds, and he’s led to believe that the deal is not dജea🐷d in the water.
There has been some semblance of a delay in talks aft𓆉er Leeds were relegated and Andrea Radrizzani went out and bought Sampdoria, but according to Smyth, the deal could still be on.
In an ideal work, the 49ers would have had a deal done by this weekend, but w🐈ith each passing hour, their hopes of thrashing out a move this weekeꦛnd are dwindling
49ers wanted deal done early
Smyth shared what he knows about this takeover.
“I am not convinced that this takeover is dead ⛎in the water. I thought that this statement could be some posturing and poker playing, this statement could be that he is the sitting incumbent and they will have to offer more to take it off him,” Smyth said.
The journal꧃ist touched on the takeover again later in the podcast.
“Fans have grumbled about certain aspects, but they have overlooked certain decisions and mistakes. I don’t see a way forward for Radrizzani, from what we’re told, the 49ers were keen toꦦ wrap this up by this weekend so they could next week start the work of progressing this club with a Head Coach to be appointed, a Head of Recruitment to be appointed and players sold and players bought.”
Complex
This deal is proving to be more complex than anyon൲e ever thought i🥂t would be.
Initially, there was a deal in place for the 49ers to buy Leeds at a fixed price, but after relegation, that p💖rice no longer looks like good value.
In turn, the nature of the deal has changed, but at the same time, Radrizzani ha✃s been buying another club and has tried to use Elland Road as a security on a loan.
This deal is incredibly complex at this point, and it looks like it’s fair 🍷to say that we won’t have a conclusion on this front this weekend.
