The takeover should be complete by next week with the person taking over allegedly Amancio Ortega, the Spanish founder of Zara and the 4th richest person in the world.

Bad news for everyone in the league, if true. There doesn't seem to be any confirmation over the new owner yet but gradually all of the members of the board are stepping down.

Well, I hated Leeds before this and I might hate them even more if I knew what Zara was.

A clothes chain.

 

[Albion Dan]

Bizarre that a Spaniard would want a UK team.

thanks still hate them about as much then, above Palace but below Rangers and Celtic.

 

[DavePage]

Money didn’t do Leicester any good last year
Would be more concerned with the fact he’s Spanish, than the money.
Thinking about the obvious connections that are bound to be made.

 

[stickboy]

Im not bothered. Aston villa have a billionaire and how well are they doing?

 

[WATFORD zero]

I think Tony Bloom has proven that it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it

 

[tubaman]

It doesn't mean that he is going to give Leeds all his money though.

Foreign ownership is a blight on the English game imo.

.....The Liebherr Family and Nicola Cortese. So long as it's done correctly it can be good.

Yeah, investing all that Nazi gold in English football. Brilliant.

Good only for the fans of that club. Not for the health of the game financially.

 

[sir albion]

Makes no difference in this league as loads have money

FDI inflows then, hardly a bad thing!

How on earth have you worked that out? We will be one of the at 1 academies, Cortese wants to have a first 11 produced largely from the academy, hence why he's spent £15milliion on upgrading already top class facilities to help this happen. Surely that can only be good for the game?

My missus has always said the same

This would be very strange if true. Ortega is from Coruna where my Wifes family are from. He invests in all sorts of things locally charities/ projects/ education but hasnt invested a penny in the local football team Deportivo Coruna. This is a team that won La Liga back in 2000 but since then has struggled financially slipping in to the second division, although they have acheived promotion back up this year. All the locals are bemused as to why he hasnt bankrolled the club with all of his wealth but he doesnt seem interested. For him to now invest in Leeds would be very bizzare.
