Hello everyone, I've been watching the site from a far for a few years, living in Spain for the last five. Born in Dewsbury and returning to West Yorkshire to live this year and getting my first season ticket after all those years.

Just feel this is going to be a good year with a professional well run club. Also just wanted to say thank you to all those regular posters who make this site so much fun and so entertaining. Let's hope this is the year and I am able to watch it all!

Aus there's more to life than wall to wall sunshine, there's nothing like fish and chips outside ER in November when it's freezing on a Tuesday night matchplay. Wouldn't swap it honest ;/

Lets just clear something up here Greenfield Investment Pte Ltd now own Elland Road it just means we don't pay Β£1.7m annual rent. When we sell a player or make a profit a percentage will go to buying the ground so maybe in 5-6 years Elland road may be owned outright by Leeds United but at the momment Greenfield Investment Pte Ltd own it.

28 Jun 2017 22:09:42
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Greenfield was the parent company and vehicle through which Radz bought the club. Ultimately if Radz is the 100% owner of LUFC through Greenfield or any other business, he now owns the ground 100% and will continue to do so.

Agree6 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 22:18:18
Yes. It's similar in many ways to simply investing in the club, they've just opted to do it via the repurchase of Elland road, and undoubtedly tied in with many terms and conditions on both sides. The important thing is, that they see it as an investment into the club, not just an opportunity to try and bankrupt us, so all in all, very positive news.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 23:35:38
Ever the optimist. You have trust issues brightside.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jun 2017 09:02:14
The Big difference is we KNOW who now owns ER, and whatever end motive he has leeds will only benefit in the future . No more rent to pay, investment can be placed elsewhere plus it won't be increasing by yr . Should the club be sold in the future it will now be a full package . My prediction is that we will see RC buy back Thorpe Arch as well investment will be made so both . It's like making your house look as good as possible so if or when you put in up to sell you get a good price . Don't forget before MC we didn't really have proper buyers falling over themselves .

A momentous occasion thanks radz big shout to Massimo also who this would never have happened without

Absolutely agree about MC, he got a lot of stick from some quarters and although a loose canon he came good when it mattered and I'm not sure but can anyone hear the Time to go Massimo brigade, can't remember the last time I heard about them! They must of tripped over their own ego and got stuck in their own crap! Up yours Bates and cheers MC.

Yes, acknowledgement to Cellino for stabilising the club and finding a sensible owner to take it forward. A bigger shout to AR for having the integrity to back his words with action.

28 Jun 2017 20:08:38
Well, that is the biggest news for god knows how long, and proof that we have a serious owner at last, with funds, and a bright future ahead of us all hopefully! MOT!

This isn't the Leeds United I fell in love with. We're used to speculating all summer over potential deals that never come to fruition, then two huge bits of good news in a day. Firstly, we buy our house back (always promised but never delivered) , secondly it looks like Aloiski (sorry for spelling) deal is nearly over the line. Both great signings.

We now don't have to pay an extortionate rent and we are already one of a handful of clubs that pay wages within our means (60% of turn over by last years accounts) and now we've potentially signed a player who will rip this league to bits. 16 goals and 14 assists, playing as a winger!

Good news comes in threes, so I'm off straight around to the sister in laws and hopefully she's bent over, starkers, waiting for me. MM

Fabulous news, Radz is keeping to his word which is all we Leeds supporters ask. To many promises have been broken and we have just got to used to being let down but Radz is a breath of fresh air, the fresh air we have been dreaming of for years. MC deserves a huge thank you for pointing us in the direction of Radz and honouring his word of putting us in better hands. Remember this day folks as this is the day we move towards the promised land. There will be a few people taking note of what's going on at Elland Road and we will now be able to attract a better class of player. cheers Radz top man.

Devils advocate here! I hope that this massive outlay has not undone the work which took so long to stablise. I'm sure it hasn't and radZ knows what he's doing, but after the last 20 years nothing would surprise me!

Am I dreaming or has the owner of Leeds Utd done what he said he was going to do ?

Believable4 Unbelievable1

28 Jun 2017 19:43:16
He has and he is being fast-tracked to legendary status. No fuss, no endless speculation, he just does what he says. Are you watching Ridsdale and Bates? this is how to run a football club. I didn't include Mass in that as he did a lot of good things and his heart was in the right place.

I see we are now playing Eibar pre season. Could this be our price of them backing off the Saiz chase?

It's pretty amazing really, Radz has only been in charge for about five weeks and he has given us back something we've been wanting for years! I think this man means business! The Premier League is closer than it has been for a long, long time! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Radz buys back Elland Rd. A man of action not false promises like the last few owners Cellino included . well done Radz. At last a proper businessman owner not a hot air fraud.

Cellino deserves nothing but respect from Leeds fans cleaned up a mess and creating a club with some attraction for investment

Greenfield Investment Pte Ltd own the stadium it just means we don't pay Β£1.7m rent. If radz ever leaves he won't just say keep the stadium we would have to buy it from him.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jun 2017 09:49:39
No welsh, it just means that if Radz sells to someone else, they will be buying a football club, not just a team. the value of the club in tota just went up immensely! Leeds United now own Elland Road, through the company that owns Leeds United.

Question - If we have a keeper who performed heroics at times last season and a back up who can do a job (and is one of the best shot stoppers in the division) and a youth with enormous potential, why are we chasing another goalkeeper now?
