Pretty much the way I see things as well, don't really think we have any alternatives though, no sugar daddy for us, 49ers are supposed to make us more profitable by increasing our worldwide awareness / brand, then apparently the infrastructure of the ground etc, won't happen as far as I'm concerned.Orange Box wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 5:44 am I’ve done quite a bit of reading into Venture Capitalism and have to say that, up to now, the 49ers VC input at Leeds seems very typical.
Main points - VCs come in small and offer assistance, not always financial, to encourage long term growth.
- VCs rarely, if ever, take a controlling share in the company.
- VCs are in the business of making money for their investors by increasing the value of their investment. They do this by buying cheap and selling expensive.
My friends, if we are to rely on the 49ers we are fuffed. Their client is Radrizzani, not Leeds United.

Anyone thinking they are some benevolent benefactor is deluded
They are no better than Radz.

They've been part of the current stagnation and not lifted a finger.
Unless it is some super consortium like Chelsea have then I can't see much changing.

I don't think we're stagnating, only the impatient would think that, the kings of stagnation is/was Everton, ...
16 years outside the league folks and not one billionaire willing to finance Leeds irrespective of cost has made an approach. Trust me if someone came along slapped enough money down, Rads/Cellino, even Bates would have bitten their hands off.
We're an attractive one team city, lots of room to take the club to the next level so we seem to be the perfect team to buy. Wonder what the problem is... Until we get that investment we have to cut our cloth accordingly. Some teams are destined to be poor. Us, Oakland A's and the Raiders ... I support three of them

Radz hasn't been at ER of late ----- Is he elsewhere looking to sell the club or has he just lost interest watching Leeds.

Re: Radz hints a sale isnt far away? Orta quotes also included
He clearly wants out.
It wouldn't surprise me if he was trying to flush out wealthy bidders
Wouldn't surprise me either if the 49ers were more than receptive.
After all a nice juicy profit is all they want
Wouldn't it be nice to not be be poor club for a change
Knowing our luck it's GFH . . . . . .

Re: Radz hints a sale isnt far away? Orta quotes also included
Other than supporting the club he owns, I'd say no. Much like players, staff, coaches can go anywhere today.
I've no complaints about Radz as an owner. He's brought us a long way. He just doesn't have the funds to take us further. I wish this takeover would happen sooner so we can take the next step forward. When Radz moves on, I'll wish him all the best and thank him for all he's done. Similar to thanking Klich yesterday. Gave everything he had. Then reached an end where he didn't have more to give.

It'll probably be a Middle East consortium fronted by Ken Bates and a few expat mates.

Re: Radz hints a sale isnt far away? Orta quotes also included
Another theory is its Radz leaking nonsense to a friendly Journalist because the 49ers are getting cold feet
Not a ludicrous suggestion because he did it before with QSI.
Just want rich owners and trophies and to keep our best players to build not to flog them

Re: Radz hints a sale isnt far away? Orta quotes also included
Seems realistic that Radrizanni would still be fishing around for another potential owner.
The 49ers consortium keeping us in limbo is somewhat infuriating right now. The squad needs investment. How can we make serious investment if we don't know how the ownership will change. Latest I'm hearing is that 49ers will complete full takeover if we avoid relegation. That's unacceptable. We need action now. The 49er group should pay up or f/o and let someone else take the reins.
