Leeds United's proposed American takeover hasn't exactly been kept the quietest of secrets but while 49ers Enterprises only currently hold 44% of the club's shares, one Premier League rival has fully joined the US investment club as Bournemouth are now 100% owned by American businessman Bill Foley and his company Black Knight Football Club after the deal was ratified by the Premier League.
The sale of the club by previous owner Maxim Demin, who headed the club for 11 years, now means that over half of the Premier League clubs have minority or majority shareholders - one of which being the Whites.
Foley is also the managing general partner of Black Knight, with the company partially owned by American actor Michael B Jordan as well as Nullah Sarker who is involved with tennis' Davis Cup. Jordan is expected to actually play an engaged role within the club, with the Cherries saying he'll be working closely with Foley "in areas including global marketing and internationalisation of the club".
