Leeds United: Premier League perils awaiting Whites as promotion edges closer
A source who understands Leeds’ internal operations explained the problem the club had encountered during its last three years of the Premier League stay, which was that then-owner Andrea Radrizzani just had no funds to start.
Radrizzani’s shares were purchased by the 49ers business when it took over Leeds in the summer of 2023, and the investment unit of the US football franchise’s San Francisco 49ers is also trying to buy a key stake in the Glasgow Rangers.
They proved that they were earning their finances through methodical transfers of large numbers of participants in and out of Elland Road through so-called “credit card” installments.
There is no doubt that they will have plans for this summer and beyond.
However, two problems are inevitable.
First, in two seasons in the EFL slice, Leeds fell into the £44 million range, up to the loss limit applicable to the remaining three-year Premier League.
Besides that, how much does it actually cost to survive?
In the second year, the three teams promoted from the championship seemed likely to retreat directly.
Two of them are Leicester and Southampton, with their recent top flight experience far better than Leeds. Their struggle proves that even the benefits of parachute payments can jump around from the championship, which is one thing, and staying there is another.
Leeds obviously needs at least one striker. They sold Georginio Rutter to Brighton in August for £40m, setting the benchmark for a good Premier League striker.
As you start adding creative midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers, Illan Meslier gives Sheffield United a lead on Monday by scoring her own goal, thus raising the lead this season Another error was added to the “crime list”.
Farke’s two pillars, Joe Rothwell and Manor Solomon, are on loan and need to be purchased or replaced, so the bill for a good shooting in survival will be astronomy.
