Darragh MacAnthony has told Leeds United supporters not to panic as he launched a staunch defence of Andrea Radrizzani and predicted a 49ers takeover would see the Whites return to the Premier League and stay there.
Leeds majority owner Radrizzani has come in for plenty of criticism as Leeds fans worried when the Athletic reported he offered to use Elland Road as collateral in his bid to purchase Serie A club Sampdoria. No charge had been registered on Companies House though, with talk of other board members.
But the Times later reported that talks between 49ers Enterprises and Radrizzani are continuing and 'will not be affected' by this latest development, with the report adding that relegation 'has not dampened' the 49ers' desire to complete their long-mooted takeover either.
