Leeds fans storm Twitter in anger as Radrizzani refuses to sell shares

Whilst no one in football will openly admit it, there would be nothing better than having a rich owner come in and splash the cash to bring in the game’s top talents. Manchester City, Chelsea and PSG are ones who we’ve seen benefit from this in recent years, and as The FT report there’s interest in Leeds from Qatar, Andrea Radrizzani has turned it down.

Been up in Glasgow all day but have asked about this tonight. Interest from Qatar is real but message from Leeds end is that Radrizzani won’t be selling another stake at this stage:https://t.co/KfZ5ZgoSF4

Radrizzani was the man who came in and saved the Whites from the circus that was Massimo Cellino’s ownership of the club. However, whilst he may have been the man to take them out of a hellish era, he just doesn’t have the resources to take the Yorkshire club as far as Qatar Sports Investment can, the same group that owns PSG and are funded by the gas-rich Gulf state.

At first, it seemed like these were just rumours, but now that Phil Hay has chimed in with his thoughts and claimed that the interest is real, the fans are losing their minds. Having the chance to have the backing of an entire government behind them would surely end their stay in the Championship, and whilst Radrizzani reportedly won’t budge the fans won’t take long to lose their patience with the Italian.
